SB Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Adkins first game incharge, will be interesting to see what starting eleven he goes for.. Apart from AL I don't think we have any new injury worries, just alot of nerves supporters.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Will be looking for a win from Adkins first game. Too much ground lost already and no time for fannying around. No excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 If he picks Crosby he will lose the faith of a few fans already. Where's this coming from? has it been said he could feature or something? He hasn't played for s****horpe this season and has pretty much become just a coach - although in an emergency he's registered as a player.

100%Red&White Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Seeing as we turned these boys over repeatedly last season, we have to be thinking "win". I think a lot of us, players included, have let a bit of complacency set in this season, if we go out with the "we always beat MK" mentality we'll likely come unstuck. Fingers crossed though. This is a very good route - we went Southampton > A34 > Oxford > A43/A421 Bicester/Buckingham > MK - absolute doddle. 2 hour drive, other than a little bit of traffic at a roundabout going round Buckingham, sailed through! A number of pubs along the route. Parked for free in Asda right next to the ground, no problems getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played for s****horpe this season and has pretty much become just a coach - although in an emergency he's registered as a player. Wasn't even registered as a player at Scunny but is with us. A couple of people reckon he will pick him to "steady the ship". I don't think it will happen, just saying that if he does it will be his first major mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K,Billy's supersound Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 you really think he will drop the best defender and last two games for a 37yr old who hasnt played atall this season and never with this defence before? now behave yourself and get real.

Cabrone Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 I'd imagine a week ago MK would have been thinking 'finally - after all the defeats they are ready for the taking'. Now they are probably thinking 'New manager - oh s**t'. No excuses - we have the players. 3 points please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 I don't think he has to many options on paper the team we've been playing is our strongest despite losing the last three games.

Bucks Saint Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 We've got a lot to sort out before we can go in with confidence. I'd settle for a draw, a win would be fantastic. I agree with your first part, but remember that MKD are poor, we beat them repeatedly last year and we should have a natural lift from the new appointment. They have will have a small turnout (dont get many normally but Utd are on the telly...) who will be lost in that big ground, and they make s*d all noise. I think we will win but only by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 I think he might just go with 4-5-1. He'll be more concerned not to lose than to win, to stop the rot..... and anyway 4-5-1 can be quite attacking if it moves to 4-3-3 quickly enough. Let's face it Connolly has been one of this season's greater disappointments. He looked so classy at first last season, but now he is very 'quiet'. He would be better used as an 'impact' sub again -- especially given we haven't got anyone else to come on at the moment! So I'd go for Ricky up front on his own .. assuming he is anywhere near fit at last. After that decision the team pretty much picks itself until AL and Barnard return to give some competition for places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Just because he knows Mills, doesn't mean he'll pick him imo.

Pilchards Posted 15 September, 2010 Share Posted 15 September, 2010 Sad thing is he has to listen to Wilkins to get an opinion on who to play tonight. That's why the team will be the same as the last one. Can we win it? If nobody gets injured then NA can turn it around with some subs because he will spot the MK weakness. 0-0 @ 70 mins and the game is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 15 September, 2010 Share Posted 15 September, 2010 (edited) "Unfortunately some will fall by the wayside' says Adkins. Hope all the players take note and put in performances that don't kick start the process that will see them loaned out to L2 and Conference clubs. L1 'Superstars' - it's time to deliver. Thats what I was worried about. We have basically a sound team (they proved that last year, and against Brizzile rovers this season) we don't need lots of player changes we just need someone to get their heads right. They haven't gone from a team that topped the form league at the end of last season to crap players over the summer. Lots of changes in team memebers will just result in more time wasted "gelling" then if we don't go up we'll get all the it wasn't Nigels team excuses. If Nigel is any good he should be able to get good performances out of these players Just as AP did.
