I love Steve Evans
The passion flows through his veins.
It's a shame the players are too thick to listen to him.
Today they were awful again and he told them so.
Why on earth can't they pass the ball properly?
He won't put up with the rubbish on display today and he told them straight.
I hope he brings them all in for training every day.
He deserves better than this.

I think there were some tired legs out there and we don't have the depth in squad! Don't think it's anything to do with cerebral ability - I think you are being unfair. Yes it was poor but flogging a dead horse never got anyone anywhere - not to my knowledge. We should of had a more attacking set up which could have created more chances. Just my oppinion.

PPeacock, I agree about tiredness. If MK Dons were going to get a result out of us it was always going to be yesterday, after a busy Christmas schedule, not helped by TV. I do think though we should have been more attack minded at home, but on the other hand you can't blame Stevie sticking to a system that has seen us unbeaten in seven. To call the players thick is just an insult and comes from someone who knows very little in my opinion.

We've gone from 18th to 13th in a short period of time and can still make the play-offs with the right additions, so all is not that bad. Yes, we should have beaten MK, but if we were told seven games ago that we'd be unbeaten over Christmas and up five places, I'd have taken that.

A couple of very tough away games coming up though. Keep calm Big Stevie, we need you!

It's one game Jeff ffs. I'd have taken a draw at Forest and Derby as most would on here so you must be referring to the MK Dons game. Yes, we should have beaten MK but this league is nothing if not unpredictable. It's also a massive disrespect to the opposition - wake up call here, we are not as good as you actually think we are. Having said that, to start banging on about relegation after a draw shows just what a prat you are. We are a work in progress with a lot of young players who will perform and f**k up in equal measures. Wasn't one of your most recent ramblings banging on about how you liked what Steve Evans was doing. Now you're calling the players idiots and implying we'll get relegated. I'm sure you're old mate Massimo won't be impressed. Why don't you log out, then log in again as 'Survivor is back' and agree with yourself. You're the idiot Jeff, not the players!

Today was s***e and that was the only thing Evans got right today.
For those Evans lovers there will be more of this.
Against a poor side with the worst away record in the division we play one up front that one being Doukara who has scored for months and months and as we all know plays better in a two up front. That doesn't work so he brings on Ante for the ineffective Murphy and then gives the Duke just 13 minutes as a two up front and replaces him with a guy who has no experience or form at this level.
Evans is putting out sides to not lose games then blowing smoke up MC's backside at press conferences.
We will not progress under Evans or MC.
With Bridcutt and Sam going it can only get worse.
Apologies for the negativity but we are drawing far too many games against below average sides and potential promotion candidates do not do that. We still lack pace all over the field and today we lacked a cutting edge.
Bamba and Cooper looked like strangers, Wootton was his usual below average self, Murphy ran a lot and Doukara did nothing.
Big shout for Silvestri's save in the second half that stopped them going 2-0 up it was top draw.

1LU

Me n you outside. I'm an Evans lover. With Wood out injured, who did you want us to play up front today? Vardy and the ghost of John Charles? Lighten up dude. Evans considerable improvement on Loser. We headed right direction. A good window and we will knock on door.

Agree4 Disagree1

03 Jan 2016 02:10:19
1LU we can only play the players we have. We play 1 up front because every time we play 4-4-2 we lose the midfield battle. MK can knock the ball around for fun in midfield, and did so at there place even though, for most of the game we had an extra man. We all understand that we are far from being candidates for promotion.

Hopefully Evans can sit down with el presidenti and show him videos of our games. If we can extend Bridcutt ' s loan then that is a big plus. We lack quality, but need to move players on. Biannci, Sloth and Dawson, should all go out on loan. 1 attacking midfielder to come in. 1 striker and a cb.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jan 2016 20:31:27
We were shocking from start to finish, bridcut/ Taylor were ok but team performance was poor as was only playing 1 up front from the start.

Bamba had a real shocker, Sam B gave away ball in midfield which led to goal and then had very poor game, if clubs saw him today then doubt they would bid much.

We still play shit against these sort of teams, it was as poor as the Blackburn/ Rotherham games. No shots on target speaks for it self, the only positive was we didn't lose and hopefully SE can get some good help in, we are better than we played today but wasnt a great way to start new year.

Do you think they were tired or just idle? Even with the changes?!? Do you think Aunty should have started?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jan 2016 22:33:52
Yes aunty should have started with 2 up front against a team like mk Dons for sure.

Can see why Erwin doesn't get a game, we did miss wood hence the need for another forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Jan 2016 20:02:10
Didn't see todays game but in previous games everything going down the left with Taylor and Dallas never switching lacking creativity in midfield and final ball into danger area not good enough 7 out of 10 times we need a midfielder to show class/ cutting edge and finesse and also a real goal poacher but everyone on here knows this already just hope someone tells Massimo.

the altercation between Evans and Robinson early on was in my opinion the best entertainment all day. Pound for Pound Evans had the advantage but Robinson would have won it with his longer reach. The fourth official's arse was twitching like a rabbit's nose.

Well : (

Big Steve says we were sh**e

Uwe or Redders would have said we did well to come back from a goal down against a very strong team.

I'll go with Steve on this one. I'm a big fan of plain honest talking. Sh** happens, unfortunately.

Let's see what the transfer window brings. Probably more cation than we imagine, both ways, is my prediction.

Sh! t is an understatement - I'm amazed we got a point out of the game today as only chance we had in 90 mins were Taylor's free kick. MK Dons should have had 2 penalties in the first half, both times from Taylor diving in. Lucky to get a point but better than the defeat I thought we were heading for.

Harsh ox. It's a game like that under Bald Loser would have lost. I believe we are 7 games unbeaten. It's no more complicated than we played a bad game which happens now and again. We actually would've won if Charlie Taylor shot goes in. We have come far under Evans. A good window and we will go close.

nice to see young bench . doukara intesting i for one thought he was bullied last year by morison every corner if he stood near morison he told him to clear off . funny because morison at corners was always at far side back off 18yrd line never in centre so who knows perhaps doukara might come out of shell and surprise us . he did score great goal for u21's . and all of a sudden erwin match fit . this could be a good day . about time we ran a riot . i remeber mc sack by mc saturday we beat huddersfiled 5-1 . good to see cook byram score maybe one of back four and a striker.

Apparently Cellino wanted to have Viagra as our shirt sponsors but the Football League wouldn't allow it.
He threatened to sue, but was advised by lawyers that it wouldn't stand up in court! ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Never a guy to pull out of anything so they say.

Was that the lawyers' firm opinion? Sounds like they shrink from controversy. Their opinion did they give it to Cellino orally or did they write to him because it was a bit of a mouthful? Maybe I shouldn't be too hardon them. No use crying over spilt milk.

Fancy us for 2-0 win, biggest worry is conceding silly goals. Bamba needs to get back to form he was in when he first came. Always worries me when players talk to papers about evrything but his own performances. Needs to leave running of club to those paid to do it and concentrate on his game.
