MK with a good chance - Norris held his ground

Gotta remember Vydra is returning from a back injury. He just may not be up to it.

I think Dyche wants to play Barnes and Wood in an attempt to restore their confidence.

Wood has missed a clear goal scoring chance 4 or 5 games in a row now, I appreciate he might be better suited to our system than Vydra, but at some point others have to be given a chance. Doesn't have to be Vydra. There needs to be competition there.

He's getting into the right positions to miss those chances, that's the hard part. The goals will come.

True, but the “experiment” isn’t working!

They seem confident enough when there saying they want 50k a week. Man up and start scoring. The confidence thing shouldn't be a thing these days with the money they demand

Excellent effort from Brady, just over on the volley

Completely agree with that, but what if the goals don't come? How long do you give him? Like I said, it's 4-5 games now with clear obvious goal scoring chances he's missed. Do we give him 6 games? 10 games?

Hope Pieters is okay.

unlucky from Brady but we should have at least 4 by now

Dyche’s philosophy. Not necessarily. Jutkiewicz used to get into some good positions and had chances.

Watching the MK Dons reminds me how we used to be so shite and looked a pub team....this is quite embarrassing

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:18 pm

Really don’t know why we even bother with cups. We might of well played the U23 today and save the legs. Had fans been allowed in today it be interesting to see what the gate would of been, I religiously bought cup tickets but won’t bother any more as it’s the same season after season. It really doesn’t matter if we draw City or Marine, the result is always the same.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:18 pm

amazing how PL players can't control a simple ball into feet on a carpet of a pitch

nyclaret · Post by **nyclaret** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:18 pm

I reckon Spurs would drop Harry Kane before we dropped Chris Wood.

Longsidebovril · Post by **Longsidebovril** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:18 pm

Jesus get Wood off

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:18 pm

Chris Wood looks so devoid of anything - as has been said he needs the competition in the squad to push him, but it's not there. Perhaps time to give someone else a chance now in this game - Vydra or one of the youngsters

No one will want to score more than they do. They'll have big goal bonuses to boot.

Both need to get back to scoring.

Anyway, just saying that's two reasons why I think Dyche may not be playing Vydra. He'll probably come on soon.

Or the manager realises Wood is a better bet than Vydra that generally we all can see

All things being equal yes, but does that mean Wood plays regardless of how he's playing? I don't agree with that. Hopelessly out of form and needs hooking. And if Vydra isn't then good enough to have a go then we need someone else.

One of the classic football clichés. But I'd rather my striker scored 1 of 3 chances, than 0 of 10.

Some of the passing is rubbish, that ball from Cork to Brady

Untinted Glasses · Post by **Untinted Glasses** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:20 pm

Yea however we have a squad that should do its job for form/out of form player rotation. If Vydra doesn't start when these two are this **** how will he feel.

A neutral would struggle to identify the Premier League team.

At this point in the game both sides look evenly matched

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:21 pm

We look poor second half, too many long balls, when to beat a team like this we need to keep it on the deck, at least until we are in a good position to get a cross in.
The time to change it is now, because MKD will love it if we just keep playing like this.

box_of_frogs · Post by **box_of_frogs** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:21 pm

Was that supposed to be a cross from Barnes???

Gordaleman · Post by **Gordaleman** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:21 pm

I think Alan Pace has a big job on his hands to change Sean's mindset on cup games.

expoultryboy · Post by **expoultryboy** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:22 pm

How long do we have to wait until changes are made . Stephens offers absolutely nothing .

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:22 pm

I got a bit of a hammering when saying Wood needed hooking a few weeks ago, he’s way out of form and needs to fight for his place. Like last time I’m not saying he’s no good, when he’s at it he’s our best finisher by far but when he’s not at it, he’s really not at it!

MK going defensive I think... going to hold out for the 0-1 win

One positive about Burnley is that they drive a man to drink (I've not had one this year yet)

Their manager has just swapped two players! Is that allowed?

Darthlaw · Post by **Darthlaw** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:24 pm

Remember when Vyds was called on and played really well with Jay after project restart? Hopefully, if we called upon him he could do it again.

Remember what Barnes did to justify his recall and consistent selection? Neither can I

If Vydra is fit it's bizarre that he's now not on.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sat Jan 09, 2021 4:24 pm

if you knew nothing about football and were told that one of these teams was in "the best league in the world" you would struggle to work out which team. This lot are 16th in League One.
