| I thought we just about shaded it 20:56 - Aug 21 with 843 views | Vic |
But MK Dons played some very nice football without really hurting us. The two goals were from two mistakes, other than that the defense whilst a bit shaken was OK. We created some decent chances, and without the defensive mistakes we would have won against a well organized team, in fact overall a more organized team than ourselves
Edwards was pure class, easily our MOM in my opinion. Burgess was solid and in control - a good solid presence in defense. I look forward to seeing him and Edmundson alongside each other. Bonne played well and took his goals superbly. The first was an absolute peach. Tom Carroll played a lovely little cameo.
Negatives for me?
The midfield was extremely disappointing. I couldn’t help noticing that until Tom Carrollcame on there as very little movement in front of the defense to receive the ball from them. Harper was extremely disappointing, as was Evans. Neither imposed themselves on the game and were very static.
We persisted with long diagonal balls to Bonne despite the fact that he actually won very few of them. And when he did there was little support near to him.
Gladly will be disappointed he didn’t get the ball round the post from the free kick. He got a full hand on it and should really have done better.
All in all I thought we deserved to sneak a win and it was so disappointing not to get all 3 points because of defensive mistakes - again.

....8 more attempts at goal than us, twice as many attempts on target, and hit the bar twice.
I think to say that we "shaded it" is a bit wishful thinking.
A draw was just about fair, but they will think they should have won. |  |

Yeah certainly MK Don's fans are disappointed they didn't get the win. |  | | |

They might well be, they played well, but their goals came our mistakes. I thought our chances were better than theirs.
Did they really hit the bar 2x? | |

....and in the last minute.
I don't really see any metric we can use to justify saying that we deserved to win.
But each to their own. | |

Agree. We were lucky to get a point in the end
I was impressed with their ball retention and it was as not with just sideways or backwards passing |  |

Would largely agree, I didn't think they were all that impressive tbh. Beyond a couple of long range howitzers, they didn't really threaten Hldaky apart from from the last kick of the game and when we decided to gift them a goal. Should have put the game to bed before we gave them a chance to equalise but let's see how we do against Wimbledon. | | | |

I’d say a draw was fair. It could easily have been 4-4 or 5-5! |  |

xG of 1.51 v 1.47 suggests draw was fair, if 1/25th of a goal counts as “just shading it” we did. |  |

They were shooting as soon as within 40 yards. Not surprising their stats were high |  |
