Propping up the League. Free scoring, free flowing football last season. In the mix for auto promotion until the end and a young manager in Liam Manning receiving lots of plaudits. I know they lost Twine and some key loans but have they recruited so badly that everything has imploded? |  |

Bad recruitment I think, which is a little surprising given I'm sure they usually do that pretty well.
Lost some good players, and replaced with this likes of:
Bradley Johnson - past it
Will Grigg - hugely overrated striker, who had a purple patch about 5 years ago
Louis Barry - looked miles off it for us only a year ago
Other than that it looks like a lot of fairly hopeful punts, then when you consider them losing key players, to transfer and loans ending, and you can see why they are in a mess. |  |

Think it's similar to Liverpool. A few significant changes have upset the finely-balanced mechanism of the team and they're struggling to make things function again.
It's not even necessarily a matter of poor quality recruitment, just that whatever factors clicked so well last season just aren't this time around. |  |

There are parallels between MK Dons and us in 2001/02 |  |

weren't most of their goals last season set pieces or worldies from Twine? |  |

Darling and Twine were too good for this level - both of those are big losses at either end of the pitch. They also hit the jackpot with their loans last season, as Plymouth have this season. |  | | |

I think they punched above their weight last season, aided by some very good signings and loans.
Twine was an excellent signing last summer and sensational for them, Darling had an excellent season, he joined them the January before. They also had Parrott up front on loan.
Were they inspired signings, did the players perform better than expected? Either way, they have lost some quality and not replaced it this season. | | | |

Would we all be as keen in Manning now if we lost Mckenna?
Think they were always going to struggle to replace Twine and so it's proved. |  |

Lost all the decent players from last season…. Either loans who have gone back or been sold. |  |

In fairness to MK, their attendances aren't actually too bad for this division, it's just that they have such a stupidly oversized stadium that it makes it look worse than it is. | |

I wonder how many they'd get in League Two, should they end up going down?! |  |

Same as last season, as per the safety certificate. | |

Sold Twine for £4 million and Winkleman wouldn’t let them spend any more than £5 hundred thousand on one player apparently.
Didn’t get many/any of their main targets as a result and recruited poorly.
Not unlike Ipswich under Evans for the last ten years although the implosion has been spectacularly quick! |  | | |
