What sort of loss is acceptable to you Spencer? On pens...0-1 0-2...would another stuffing change your mind on Wilson?
Well yeah. If he had played the same team as saturday and we had lost he would have been rightly hammered. But his team selection and motivation of the players was absoutely tremendous tonight. He realised Cuthbert wasnt ready and had Amankwaah back there. Big KA is in great form, lots of confidence on the ball. He rightly gave Macklin his starting chance and he was excellent. Without O'Brien, and with Macklin up front, he had to play JPM, and he produced a great display. The best display Ive seen from him since we beat Gills 5-0 in October (?) 2007. Timlin made sure he got in the game (something he didnt do saturday). Biggest away win for years. Top marks for Wilson tonight. |

I'm really liking Amankwaah at right back under Wilson's management. I thought he would come good but he's been pretty consistant since hitting form too. My only criticism is that he leaves his man a bit too often, but I realise you can't always have it all.
Hopefully McGovern can carry this performance though to future games. He's not been able to do that before but if he can then as one of his harsher critics I'll have to eat my words. Still a long season ahead for him.

With Amankwaah basically being a wing back playing as a right back, it would be nice if we could play a more dynamic formation, especially if we're putting more men in midfield due to lack of strikers. Wing back's one side with Timlin dropping in the back from midfield. Full back the otherside moving into a more central defensive position to put more at the back when needed.
Unfortunately I'm not sure our squad is up to playing this sort of freestyle super football. I do like to think of Amankwaah as our very own Cafu though.

I wouldnt get carried away. He has had good games in isolation before. But I think he realises he has to pull out all the stops to get in the team this season. |

having spoken to you before about him I know we have very differing opinions, I do think he could be one of our key players this season.

I've still not seen anything to suggest O'Brien has any attributes other than pace. Given time he might show us that he is class, but he's not won me over yet. |

no...
I could of sworn they had two recognised 1st teamers missing. Which would of been a weakened side but I may have got it wrong. Wouldn't of been the firsty time and wont be the last. |

They made three changes from their league game: http://www.miltonkeynes.co.uk/sport/MK-Dons-14-Swindon-Town.5544734.jpSol Davis came in at left back with Darren Powell rested. Lewis Gobern replaced Jason Puncheon on the right of midfield and Michael Bridges replaced Luke Chadwick. Puncheon and Powell came on after 60, Chadwick 76. Weakened, but only slightly. It was no reserve team |
