Good performance by a team that clearly have real unity and growing mental strength. Despite a poor run the players don’t look like they lack confidence which will be a big factor in getting over 50 points.
When I saw the selection I was a bit underwhelmed but before the sending off I think we looked well balanced with Woolley in the middle where he tends to have a real impact. Both he and my MOM Hess paired up really well allowing Embelton a bit of freedom to try and link up play with the front two.
Really good goal not only for the cross and finish but also the little triangle of play between Hess, Embleton and Hendrie that opened up the space for Hendrie to cross the ball, a coaches dream.
The sending off I’m 50/50 about but I think it spoiled what would have gone on to be a decent game of football where I think we’d have kicked on and got a couple more.
Though we soaked up some pressure in the 2nd half it never really looked like The Alamo as MKD in essence once again looked really poor in front of goal. In reality their keeper stopped them going further behind with a couple of good saves.
Jolley got a lot right today in terms of selection and changes and alongside every player in the squad deserves massive credit for the win.
Just a footnote about the ref, away from the sending off he was really poor and clearly did not understand what “professional” footballers do to manipulate the result.

On the contrary. I think you've done it again Les.

I heard only two fans at last weeks Lincoln game chanting Ohman's name to the tune of the Omar Bogle song (Tender by Blur),
Seemed to fit quite well but they were struggling to get anyone else to join in.

I got final score on just as it said Davies had been sent off, Then I noticed we were 1-0 up, No problem I thought if we can hold a prem side for 86 mins with 10 men, Holding onto a 1-0 lead for 49mins against MK would be easy.

And it was. Relatively speaking.

If I had to be negative (apart from the useless ref), I would ask why jolley went defensive 2nd half especially as we looked the better side when we attacked them after the sending off, not complaining about the defensive display and the 3 points though. UTM

Thought we rode our luck a bit. How the lad missed that header late on I’ll never know and Russell made one good save. Apart from that (and several dangerous looking balls flying across our box) we weren’t troubled that much. Wes Thomas was outstanding, aside from his goal and the fact he forced two decent saves out of their keeper his hold up and link up play was magnificent. It was also absolutely what was necessary in the circumstances. Forget whether Davis was or wasn’t the last man, the lad was about to pull the trigger so it was a definite red in my eyes.
Hess was excellent with and without the ball again. Hendrie’s cross was brilliant and is defending (aside from the lash up) was very good. Embleton always looked dangerous and I thought Ohman won everything and looked commanding for his defence. We need to back this up now, on paper the next 6 games (Newport, Yeovil, Cheltenham, Swindon, Cambridge and Crawley) look much more winnable than most of the previous 6.
