MKD - A FEW OBSERVATIONS
Permalink  
 

Lee Camp - simply superb - made the first goal with a fantastic kick to the feet of Grant Ward - a couple more touches and we were one up. Incredible save from their free kick in the second half.

Every Rotherham player - put in a massive performance. Kelly struggled for pace against their winger but invariably Grant Ward tracked back to help him out. That sort of support was apparent all over the field.

MK Dons defence - a shambles. Tried to play it between the back four, with the crowd demanding they get it forward, and in almost every instance either losing or almost losing the ball to Rotherham's pressing.

Richie Smallwood - missed a header from what seemed like 6 inches out and then miss-hit a volley into the top right hand corner - priceless!

The stadium - superb and far too good for a soulless place like MK.

Rotherham fans - fantastic turnout, enthusiasm and noise. Almost ruined by the mindless idiot that threw a full bottle from the top tier into the corner where the players were celebrating Broadfoot's goal - could have been a disaster - just missed the players!

Archie - for recommending the BPWMC and adjacent parking. Worked a treat apart from the walk back in the rain but when you've just won 4-0 away - who cares!?

We parked in that industrial estate opposite the Ikea - anticipating a healthy crowd.

There were apparently '10,000' MK fans in there, utter b**** the season ticket sales, where 25% hadn't turned up were counted, if a game like that doesn't arouse interest from the MK faithful yet will willingly fill it when Man Utd come to town, just shows what a plastic pointless waste of time that club is.

They should go back to their hockey stadium where they belong, lets hope they spend a good few years in L1 & L2 and have to move out of Stadium MK as they absolutely don't deserve it.

As for their manager - he's an arrogant dick. Principals are for youth football maybe you should go back to the academy where you clearly belong & let the managers - manage.

Goodbye, glad I don't I have to go there again next season your club is a joke

I think we all knew we'd be OK today. It was a game with that unmistakable feeling if you are tuned in.

First 10 minutes after Derbyshire 's great finish from a tremendous kick by campy and brilliant run by ward, MK looked dangerous.

That weathered and it was clear where the game was heading.

I saw an old lady draped in MK Dons apparel and my mind nearly fell out of my mouth. I still can't work it out.

Beautiful stadium mind.

...still struggling.  Anyone help?

A beautiful white elephant of a stadium. Everything about MK Dons feels wrong. You can have all the money and marketing you want but you can't create the history and the soul of a football club overnight by parachuting a plastic club into a plastic town. They have no place in the game. I genuinely hope they fall to bits and take their shiny stadium and Stepford club down to League Two and beyond. I don't have any personal animosity to their supporters but there it is. I am sure that Ex speaks for the overwhelming majority of football supporters in his critique. On the game itself, in the early exchanges they picked a way through us a bit too easily at times but we always carried a threat that they never had apart from the left winger Murphy who gave Kelly a torrid time (I think they have him on loan from somewhere and I wouldn't mind a bit if we got him). They had 'gone' after the third and we could have got six had we been more clinical and made better decisions on our breaks. It was a joy to watch.

Was it just me or did the playing surface appear enormous? I suspect Rotherham were caught out by this and the space available in the early stages but they soon adjusted. BTW I can't believe it was Kirk B's first goal. Probably because every time we have a corner I predict he will score!
