Pluses though were JPM's performance and general defending.
Thought the Ref was annoying too !
JPM was awesome today, not sure I would agree about the defending although we do look more solid than last season. I thought the ref had a decent game, didn't stand too much messing and was a good communicator, you could hear him all round the ground! Macklin is a real talent, but just not ready for a striker role, a winger perhaps. Not sure about the full backs either, I saw nothing in Macca apart from missing a good chance. Didn't seem to be too keen today.

Both players are OK according to the MK Don's site, just stitches and mild concussion.

So what are they saying about Lewington? Is it a suspected broken neck?
Wilson said after the game that it sounds as though it looked worst than it was and that there was just lots of blood more than anything

Not heard anything official but that's what the guy in the ticket office reckoned (and let's face it, that's far more definitive than any official source). Unconscious on the pitch apparently and straight to hospital with suspected broken neck. Although you could see it was something like that, the time they took not wanting to move him, the special stretcher and taking him straight out to the ambulance etc. Like I say, let's hope he's OK, it sounds nasty EDIT: OK, should have waited for stfc11's post! If it is just concussion, fuck him

Makes me laugh really. You cant expect the team to go from shit to fantastic over night especially as we sold our top goal scorer
some good points today - Clean Sheet - Defence looked a bit more solid - Seemed to be a bit more communication - Our passing seemed a bit better
I personally am happy with the draw and feel we can push on from this. I guess our expectations were raised with the 4-1 thumping but a decent result against a decent team!
Largely agree with that, though I didn't think Franchise were that decent, they were there for the taking, I thought. However the display by Town today was similar to the Cardiff friendly - solid and effective - which makes me think even more that Gills last week was just an aberration I lost count of the number of corners Franchise had but not once did I panic too much unlike, conversely, last year where every set piece looked a certain goal. Obviously we need a striker and Tope didn't impress me too much, maybe due to last minute nature of us signing him and he needs time to gel, plus he didn't really get much service

Macca seemed to think he been given a free role as in "free to drift in and out of the game as you feel like". Very frustrating

Exactly, he had bugger all service except for long balls going over his head. Even the ones he could get to, he had no chance against their centre back. It's not fair to judge him on today's performance, hopefully we can actually play soem football on Tuesday and see if he's any good then.
