⚽ Match Thread vs. Milton Keynes 'Dons' 02.04.25 [EFL L2]

Oh, he (Nemane) looked like he'd been on the rolls alright.

I thought we were right to let him go and it looks like we were if were to progress, although he did have his moments. Crowley must be wondering quite what he has done moving to an absolute shambles. Out of the L2 team of the year and back to the anonymity he 'enjoyed' with Morecambe. A waste of a talent.

MK are a bunch of individuals, not a team
I wonder if Luke will get the job of making them into one?

Individuals counting the gold pieces for some. That's when you have a unhappy camp. X earning this & Y & Z only earning that.
Nemane & Crowley only linked up once with the ball behind the full back. You'd think they would know each others game, although Jarvis had a say in that

Nice one,Aaron.

Two things from the game we used to see regularly at Meadow lane - Aaron Nemane playing more as a full back than a winger, and Dan Crowley having his name sung loudly by the Notts fans.

Although the words were a bit different last night!

And don't forget ANs throw ins.

Will Jarvis the new Nutmeg King, had Nemane a couple of times

Also extended highlights are now on piesplayer but they haven't titled them as such for once (it says in the graphic though).

You think that's bad. Saw on another forum where Bradfud fan wanting Alexander sacked after Tuesdays result. Another saying Div2 again next season. Ffs your team is 2nd in the table

If you think that's bad check out our board..! People asking for Maynard to be sacked even though we are in touching distance in automatic promotion and possible playoff places.! Achieved so far with an injury ravaged squad with our most inventive players injured or one sold as he wanted out..! COYP...!X

[drillerpie]

Nothing changed here then

'I am starting to struggle a bit with Crowley I have to be honest. He holds onto the ball for so long and it slows us down'.

Maybe it's because I'm a Crowley fan boy but I didn't see anyone else in their team threatening to open us up like he did a couple of times.

Top night down the lane and a properly enjoyable home performance. Would be good if we could harness some of that Crowley hate into support for the team in future.

The only things that make me a bit cautious are that a) MK were dire, the worst team weve played all season. And b) we did rely to a great degree on moments of individual brilliance to win the game. Weve done that all season to be fair, but to get to where we need to be it is very likely we are going to have to beat someone good.

Individual brilliance is often the difference between success and failure.
There isn?t many teams in history that have been successful without individual brilliance. Barcelona had Messi, Madrid had Ronaldo, PSG, Mbappe. Closer to home Liverpool have Salad, Citeh have Haaland and even when Leicester won the title they needed brilliance from Vardy.
I?d argue we?ve got to where we are despite not having all of our ?moments of brilliance? players available.
Either way, I?m happy we are up there fighting for a place in L1.
