Yeah, it makes sense in theory. Only question is whether teams can be effective playing the system in the modern game; where it was once popular formation from grass roots to the elite, it’s rare you see it these days in professional football.

It will be our best bet at the moment I think till he gets his ideas across. We have been so disorganised and open it has been unreal.

It's good to hear JT in the commentary box. He said we don't want to lose too heavily tonight, it wasn't the optimistic comment I expected from him.

Bringing back memories of Darlington's deserted stadium this place, except with padded seats (!). Makes absolutely zero sense why they've got a ground like this with barely any home fans

There player somped on Roses knee


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Very, very early days, but there appears to be some improvement in terms of our shape and passing intent. We’ve been the better side of the first 10.

When MK Scum aren’t playing they store 20 ft high chickens in the stadium. The chickens are 20 ft high because of all the chemicals Winko puts in 'em, and these chickens are scared! They don't know why they're so big! They go "Oh, why am I so massive?" And they're looking down at all the other little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small.

Realise this might be a daft question, but why are there so few in the ground? Is this normal for this ground? If so why have they made it this big?


Most clubs would ensure the stand that the camera faces would be the most populated or even slightly populated but not Milton Keynes.

When MK Scum aren’t playing they store 20 ft high chickens in the stadium. The chickens are 20 ft high because of all the chemicals Winko puts in 'em, and these chickens are scared! They don't know why they're so big! They go "Oh, why am I so massive?" And they're looking down at all the other little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small.


Plenty of big eared boys in Milton Keynes too.

Get in Pyke!! Rose looked a bit offside there, but it's about time we got a bit of footballing luck!!

It’s the one area we’ve looked uncomfortable in. Lots of advantages to playing that way, but it does look an accident waiting to happen tonight.

That's his 8th, averaging a goal every 140 minutes of football. With the football left to be played, on those averages he should score around 17 more this season

Best half from Town for ages. We deserved the lead and could have had another, passing good and working for each other, a delight to watch.

Great first-half that, all in all. Happy with that. No doubt BFS will show a lot more in the second; be interesting to see how we deal with that. If they do come at us, I’ve got more confidence in us hurting them on the break than I have of late.

We’ve been a good attacking team this season and have let ourselves down defensively. In attacking terms tonight we’ve played some gorgeous stuff - I’m really hoping we can hold on for the cleansheet to top it off. Up the bloody Mariners!

Good half from Town,  and we could of been 2/3 up. Only negative is Glennon going off injured, but Harry looks like the Harry of old and we look assured at the back...

Bit weird this.

Under Hurst looked like we couldn't buy a win.

Pearson and Davies showed the attacking threat though defensively looked terrible.

One half of Artell and we look like we can open up a team at will with the defence being quite assured.

It's only 45 minutes into his reign, though if it continues like this, we are going places.

Harry playing on that side has meant we’re a bit more direct into the middle of the pitch from that side and it’s working quite well.

Like that first half against Bradford earlier in the season but with actual chances being created.

We do have players capable of playing attacking front foot football, it's just about doing it consistently.

Great start and finish to the half. MK Dons had a spell as expected after we scored where they wanted to get back into it and a couple of shaky moments for us at the back but they tired and saw us come back into possession. Hunt almost caught the keeper out with one of those long shots. I like the game approach so far, keeping it tight to the man, short passes in midfield with a patient build up. Would like to see us pressure our own keeper less with pass backs when not needed but old habits are hard to break.

Just need to come out for the second half swinging and get another goal then their fans will really get frustrated.

I love the fact we are playing out from the back but moving it forward as quick as possible. Please be patient because we will make mistakes and concede from time to time playing this way but it's a hell of a watch! Really enjoyed that half. Utm

Confidence is the issue. We've looked unable to make simple 5 yard passes at times in recent weeks but it sounds as though our tails are up tonight and it is working with most of the unnecessary errors cut out. Hope it continues!

You had to mention Bradford....

8 shots to their 3, with 4 on target to their 1. Really good half, but wish we could ram home the advantage and get a second when on top.

You can see the ebb and flow of the game. We started better, pressed them and then scored. MK came back at us, but we held, and finished stronger. DA took every opportunity to tell the players if they were not playing as he wished. A revelation.
Can't wait for 2nd half.   As someone has already said even if we don't win, it's been a good game and the team have done well. Lets see if DA has told them a few things.

Far better and more accurate passibg, better running for the ball, harassing their players in possession, and a new manager who looks like he is kicking every ball from the didelines anx draggibg okayers over to get his ideas into them.

All summed up as more passing and commitment.

Conteh very cool in possession and Hunt looking like he has been given some freedom.

Mullarkay may have earache from sideline instructions by full time !

Another half of that type of play, please, especially pinning them back in their own half.

Really impressive half of football, mostly anyway. MK did have 10 mins and we did try our best to play ourselves into trouble at times with Cartwright playing it into people with players right on them, but overall a huge improvement on what's gone before this season.

MK are a side it's always nice to beat anyway, and it'd be great to start Artell's reign off with a cracking away win. Come on town!

I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

Ffs. It was coming, we're still too soft at the back


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Great performance.
Should have won the game but all the same, well done blokes UTM


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

A draw that feels like a win.

Alex Hunt should start from here on. Dude is absolutely a class above anyone else in terms of passing and especially positive passes that create something.

There’s far more to be encouraged by in that performance than not. Give it a few weeks and we’ll really see the difference.

Excellent by Town. Probably should have won but easily could and should have lost at the death.

Very good point that. More than most of us expected, plus FGR lost and Tranmere and Sutton both drew so all in all not a bad night.

A draw that feels like a win.

Alex Hunt should start from here on. Dude is absolutely a class above anyone else in terms of passing and especially positive passes that create something.
He will work wonders for Artell

Should have won that. Could have lost. Early days of course, but reasons to feel positive about the future on the display there. Several players looked better than they have done in recent times, and the brand of football was certainly better to watch.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it’s nice to see the foundations being laid.

Cup half full... identity, style, great one touch footy, attacking, positive attitude
Cup half empty... simply not ruthless either end and it's killed us all season
Our finishing is often panicky and lacks composure
Get that right more often and we will be fine

Had we lost it would have been a travesty

lots of really good stuff, BUT Artell must've noticed our major weakness - not staying with your man. Think it was about 4 times in the 2nd half that BFS had 2 unmarked players in our 18 yard area

the lack of tracking back and staying with your man has been a consistently major downfall of ours

Soooooo frustrating.

If we can get a bit more ruthless, we will climb the table.

18 shots, 6 on target, but only one goal tells the tale, but it's another game unbeaten, another point and we've gone above Colchester, so upward motion for the first time in a while.

That last chance for MKD came after Wilson made virtually no effort to fight for possession. Liability in the middle of the pitch. Eisa good at getting us up the pitch but another who is defensively naive.

Thought Maher was on a mission to get booked too. We have an away point though.

Oh and well done Alex Hunt and Harry for playing three different positions.

That’s a good point but we have now lost 20 points from winning positions this season- the worst in the whole of the Football League (and PL as well, I believe).

Everyone is right when they pinpoint the failure to defend properly as a team. It's the main thing that needs to be fixed.

Well that was a fkjng nervy end....fairly typical summary though,  took a lead....played well but didn't benefit anymore from it, missed opportunities, died off, conceded, under increasing pressure ....but for once MK fluffed their lines and didn't take the lead and we somehow managed to miss 3 - 4 good chances to win it ourselves.

Standout take away from me was when we went forwards there was at least 2 or 3 options every time...hardly seen that at all this season.

Thought Hunt was outstanding at times. He played a range of beautifully deft passes born from being released from his chains. He'll be the player we first saw from now on I'm sure.

What a great start. We have a free hit at the weekend but obviously want to do well, but then a full week of coaching the team in his methodology.

We will soon (barring injuries etc.) have a settled side playing a preferred way with incremental improvements along the way.

Great all round team effort tonight, rode our luck and could have taken all 3 points and could have come home with nothing. Mullarkey MoM but Hunt had a good game when he came on and some of his passing was excellent. Very encouraging performance which I feel will only get better once Artell gets to work on them and gets them playing his way. UTM


Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 )

I know I’m at risk of saying ‘I told you so’ but Alex Hunt has the ability to boss our midfield. I can’t fathom how and why he was doing the humiliating doggie runs with Greg when Hurst and Doig wouldn’t even put him on the bench.

Well done tonight lads, tonight feels so much better.

Would be nice for those who were so scathing and dismissive of Hunt to come on here and accept they were wrong. But no.. they'll stay in the shadows sharpening their knives for his next misplaced pass. Was disgusted at the unfair and vitriolic criticism on here. Made up for the lad tonight..

Well I thought he played well. I think you’re being very OTT describing it as scathing, and vitriolic mind you.

Its only 1 game but he looked like he had a point to prove and I think we all hope he can continue to show that consistantly

Every single one of us that backed Hunt knew the ability was there, hard to show it when you aren't given a run of games. Think you could see the weight lifted off his shoulders tonight and he's playing with that swagger and freedom again, what a player. Now he has to show the doubters that ability over a period of time, him and Conteh would be a very good pairing. Think Harry looked back to his best tonight aswell, looked very good when in the middle then moved over to left back and didn't really put a foot wrong against probably there dangerman. Worth noting Kamil Conteh had a 97% pass completion rate tonight aswell... some player.

I dunno, I personally think we are very lucky to come away with anything. Grimsby were by far the better team for the majority of the game and their ability to play through the press killed us. Against Salford we scored 3 of our goals because we won the ball back high. This game was the complete opposite. I don't think they will be scrapping down in the lower reaches of the league table for much longer and I was really Impressed with their pivot (I think Conteh).
On us though. I hope Williamson learns quickly that playing the same team twice in 3 days is not a good idea. It didn't work for alexander and it won't work for him.

I am happy with a point though and we are moving in the right direction.

He clearly had talent and Hurst paid a fee to bring him here then never played him.

I've never been convinced by Hunt (and have said so on here) as he blew hot and cold during his loan spell in the National League (started off very well, then tapered off rapidly before he left) and has then put in perhaps a handful of good performances since we signed him.

I was never scathing or dismissive, just disappointed that he wasn't generally very effective and critical that he gave the ball away needlessly too often through misplaced passes when under no pressure.

I didn't watch the game last night, but it sounds as though it was perhaps his best performance for us ever, or at least since he returned permanently?

That's good to hear so hopefully, he can keep it going and prove me wrong about him in the longer term. A different role and set up for the team can make a big difference so hopefully Artell will be able to get a song out of him more consistently.

It’s curious. After a dire performance on Saturday we have everyone raving after what on paper looked a very tough fixture. How does that happen?

It’s weird. Maybe the new coach was able to somehow change the mindset, but it’s hard to believe he could do so in such a short period of time.

I think his ‘reverted to type’ comment is interesting. It does suggest that our problems may be psychological rather than due to lack of basic footballing quality. We shall see.

There have been a couple of false dawns this season, the first half at Bradford and the Morecambe game. But at least these games and last night show that we have the potential for a successful team here. Artell may well be the guy with the skill set to release it.

Obviously it’s impossible to make any meaningful observations based off one match and an hour in the training ground, but I think this group of players will benefit from having someone a bit more direct & assertive leading them.

Hurst was always very hands off with this team in particular, and his attitude was always that he’d done his job on the training ground - it was their responsibility once they crossed the white line. Maybe so, but he often bemoaned their lack of footballing intelligence, more than once this season. In that sense, why not try and influence them a bit more rather than just sitting in the dugout thinking “these just haven’t got the brains”?

We’ve all seen that a lot of them have a decent amount of ability, far beyond than some of the wasters that have soiled the BP turf in the last 20 years, they just need a bit more guidance and, at times, a bit of a rocket up the ařse.

It all seemed very comfortable for some under Hurst, and extremely difficult for others who would get frozen out rather than a bòllocking on the pitch. Early days, but not sure this’ll be the same under the new management.

In the clip on the training ground Artell was right in the centre of things, encouraging and telling them what he wanted.

The fact that I am even surprised to see that tells it's own story.

I have been fed up with the football on offer for a long time but this has all the makings of a new era and the start of a new identity.
