Just Back

Terrific result, whatever was said post Donny needs bottling and saving if we ever get ‘basket case itis’ again.

Tharme, Rodgers and Mullarkey were excellent and Obikwu tireless. A bit of quality around Thompson next season and we will look different gravy. Happy days.

Thought we still played good football this evening. The match stats will send neutrals and franchise fans who weren’t there into a spin as they don’t paint the full picture.

Really like the back 5, Cartwright looks a very dependable keeper (albeit didn’t have much to do), Thompson looks an astute signing and Obikwu filled in for Rose very well.

Thought Andrews, Wood and Green were excellent and brought in at the right time. Pyke didn’t as much but very big performance to follow.

Magnificent backs to the wall performance again, and Harvey didn't have a save to make for the second home game running.

I do despair at times with our seeming inability to control and pass a football, but we were much better without the ball than we were with it, so it all came good in the end.

That was more of a Shaun Pearson type performance again, and I wonder what influence he has had in the change of direction.

P1ssed off that Bradford couldn't do us a favour so we could shake of FGR, but we can only control our own destiny and that is now 9 points from 5 games, and really should be 11 considering what happened at Sutton. That is promotion form and with games running out, it's good to see.

Really enjoyed the battling performance and could even have been 2 or 3 despite not having too much of the ball. 100% effort by everyone. Tharme is class and the back 5 change has sorted it right out. Forest Green will stay up. We have to make sure we are above Colchester, which I believe we will be.

Another thing to cheer you all up.. we’re the only team in League Two that hasn’t lost in the last 5.

Great battling performance. Crazy how we didn't get at least one more pen and some of the decisions were bizarre.

The transformation from the run of heavy defeats is astounding.

Great result against a good MK side and whilst battling yet another dodgy ref. To book 5 town players for next to nothing and not hand out a single card to a Dons player sums his night up

Tharme and Rodgers were mammoth at the back tonight with credit also to Thompson and Obikwu who had run himself into the ground pressing from the front.

Shame Forest Green Won as that would have put icing on the cake when Sutton and Swindon both lost whilst Colchester drop into the relegation trap door.

Next 2 or 3 games are going to be tough but credit to Artell and his staff / clear the air convo as we are really fighting hard for the cause and hard to beat. Long may it continue

I'm still baffled how we got so many yellows and I can't remember them getting one.

The ref certainly wasn't a homer, that's for sure.

No, he was a cnt.

I’m not sure that’ll happen, he obviously wants to play football long term.

I’ve heard a lot say he tried to do too much too soon, I think it’s a case of the opposite. He tried to get us into an attacking outfit quickly and completely neglected the defensive side (something he admitted himself) we’ve now seen the result of him putting his efforts into making us more solid and it’s worked almost immediately.

I think over the coming months we’ll see a shift into a balance between the two, because I’m not sure digging in every week like this is sustainable long term and questions will quickly start to be asked if we tried to.

With a few decent additions to the squad I feel this formation has got the defensive stability to build on and offer a more technical and attacking style. Keeping Hume would be a really good start to his recruitment
