Ikeme - 6.5, 1 good save but doesnt communicate enough with back four for my likeing
Richardson - 6.5, boy have we needed him back, not the best game but still tons better than the fulham guy
Sodje - 8 - Imperious at the back and a superb headed goal
Dailly - 7.5 - Quality at back bit of a calm head esp when the ball was hanging/swirling in the wind
Youga - 7 - 2 moments of 'old youga' but one hell of a great stop on line and did well going forward and when moved to rb
Sam - 8.5 - Back to his best, tormented there lb and cb's
Racon - 6.5 - quiet on his high standards but tons better than the last few weeks
Semedo - 7.5 - back to his solid best
Bailey - 9 - captain fantatstic
Burton - 8 - again back on form
Mooney - 8.5 - the best striker iv seen play in a charlton shirt in a hell of a long time now
Basey - 7.5 - would like to see him start at LB with youga RB if richardsons not fit
like to ad that think the little of A Sodje we saw points in the direction of another good option for when burtons injured and likewise with mckenzie
Ikeme - 7, had little to do really, made a decent save, seemed to cover his goal relatively well, BUT what the hell was he thinking for their goal?
Richardson - 6.5, he was rushed back too fast IMHO and made some out-of-character errors. Still, everyone has a bad day at the office.
Sodje - 8.5, he absolutely dominated (being 15 I'd say pwned) everyone in the air, even that massive Wilbraham guy. Scored a brilliant goal too, top performance. Oh, and we can't forget his surging run on the wing after coming back on for treatment!
Dailly - 7, because a) he was coasting and b) the handball, hmm.
Youga - 7.5, the goalline clearance, yeah. Played generally intelligently. Not much else to say, really.
Sam - 8, he played with style and verve, took his goal very well. Trouble all afternoon. =]
Racon - 7, he caused quite a bit of trouble in the first half but faded rather dramatically in the second.
Semedo - 7, he coasted as well... possibly our enforcer was played out the game by their burly lads?
Bailey - 8.5, led like a captain should, took flak and worried their defence. Has a surprising turn of pace! (I also thought that about Sodje incidentally.) Opportunistic for his goal, and generally played well.
Burton - 8.5, one of his best performances yet, led the line like a seasoned pro, which he is, allowing everyone else to flourish. A hand in all of the goals basicallyish (1 - got in the way a bit for Mooney's; 2 - the same for Bailey's; 3 - chested it to Sam; 4 - ran in with Sodje, that's... not really an involvement; 5 - scored it), and took his well.
Mooney - 7.5, looked a bit poor in terms of ball skill but his endeavour, intelligence and goal make up for any technical lackings he may have. Hope we can get him permanently - at a cheap price, of course, that'd be lovely.
Basey - 7, he did good. I particularly remember one stonking tackle he made, and the third goal assist.
Ikeme - 6 - Started shaky but got better - has a habit of wandering off... Richardson - 6.5 - Still not completely over injury but 100% better than Owasuzi Sodje - 7.5 - Rock solid and committed Dailly - 7 - Gets everywhere - great performance and I like to think the handball was accidental... Youga - 7.5 - Gets better and better - both attacking and defending Sam - 7.5 - Almost back to his best Racon - 7 - Much better on the left Semedo - 8 - Does all the defensive stuff with enthusiasm Bailey - 9 - Fantastic again in the middle - was EVERYWHERE - looked like he loved every minute of it - please leave him there Burton - 7 - Much better than of late. Great touches Mooney - 7.5 - Looks like a goal scorer Basey - 7.5 - Terrific performance and shows real commitment
Ikeme - 5 took two bites at almost everything. Had plenty time to position himself properly for the goal, but failed. Did make one decent save, but just looks shot on confidence (or rubbish)
Richardson - 5.5 Terrible mistake for the goal, again looked OK coming forward, but is giving me more concerns at that back than ever. May not have been fit tbf
Sodje Snr (MOM) - 8.5 Attacks every ball. Really just what the doctor ordered
Dailly - 7.5 Clever, and assured apart from basketball moment
Youga - 7 He plays down the left, he plays down the right. The first half of the first half his brain seemed to have fused, but picked it up from there. The goal line clearance at nil one may yet be a season defining moment.
Sam - 8 set up two, scored one, caused chaos.
Racon - 7.5 Hardly put a foot wrong on the left. Should have been there for weeks.
Semedo - 7 Bossed the midfield and let everyone else get on with the fun stuff
Bailey - 8 Played like a captain in the middle. Odd that on a day in which some of his set pieces were schoolboy stuff he set up two goals and almost scored two more with dead balls.
Burton - 7.5 caused chaos for the first two goals, setup the third and scored the fifth. Can't ask for anymore (well maybe getting back onside quicker).
Mooney - 7 horrible pass to setup their goal and a horrible dive. Seemed a bit lightweight (you'd need to be crazy to play him up front on his own). But, really gave their defence the run around all afternoon and took his chance like a finisher.
Basey - 6.5 Looked like he had the measure of their winger (Puncheon?). Strong and assured. Good free kick up to Burton for the decisive third.
McKenzie 6.5 Quick and agressive, built like a large outhouse.
Sodje Jnr 6.5 Big and strong. Good touch for a big lad. I'm excited.
Parky 7.5 Had the team re-organised and up for it, just when I thought we were in the pit. Should have probably got Bailey back where he does the damage weeks ago, but I shouldn't gripe. Rode our luck after a shaky start with the clearance and the invisible penalty, but dominated in every part of the pitch thereafter. Got the recovering forwards on for a bit of match practice at the right time. All good.
MK Dons Fans - Made a decent racket and kept behind the team. Less of them sneaking out near the end, than us. WTF
MK Dons notable player - Powell. Thank the lord he never joined us, I always like it when I see he's playing for the opposition.
I didn't go but it's intersting to see that Youga still divides opinion. It is also great to see that Basey had a decent game. I really was impressed with him a couple of seasons ago. He lost his way somewhat and I did here that Parky didn't rate him. That pass he hit which led to Burtons goal was class.
Ikeme-7 Richardson-6 Sodje-7.5 Dailly-7 Youga-7 Sam-8 still frustrates me 90 mins amazing well done. Racon-6.5 Semedo-7 Bailey-8 Burton-7 Mooney-8.5 mom very busy Basey -7
Ikeme - 6 - jury's still out for me.
Richardson - 6.5 - We've missed him.
Sodje - 9 - Superb, such a rock and great header for goal.
Dailly - 8 - Normal assured performance.
Roberto Youga - 7 - Did ok, goal line clearance was vital.
Sam - 7.5 - Had a good game, the goals will do him the world of good.
Racon - 7 - Did very well out of position, the ball sticks to his feet.
Semedo - 7- Much better than he's been, the Semedo we know.
Bailey - 9 - Again, the Bailey we know again. Needs to play in the Centre.
Burton - 7.5 - Held the ball up well, and caused problems. Still not fit though.
Mooney - 8 - The kind of striker we've longed for. Looks a natural goalscorer and works well with a partner.
Basey - 7 - Solid performance, almost scored a cracker.
Sodje- 7 - looked good. Big and strong.
Mckenzie- 7 - is going to cause problems for defences.
Parky - 8 - Picked exactly the right team/tactics, picked the team up from 2 very poor performances.
Ref - 8 - Refreshing to one favour us!
Covered End - 9 - 2nd half display was superb. .
Solid performances all round. The two stand outs were Bailey who was back to his terrier-like best and Mooney who always seemed to be in the right place looking dangerous.
Ikeme - 6 - Little bit of no mans land for the goal but it was a wind assisted cracker. Kicking is huge but not got the same throwout as Robbie and that's a great weapon for us
Richardson - 6.5 - Wish he'd stay injury free as I like him. Caught out for the goal with the wind.
Sodje - 7.5 - Leaps like a salmon - lovely goal and looked pretty much in control
Dailly - 7.5 - Pushed for the "penno" (though it still should have been given). Other than that back to his high standards
Youga - 7.5 - Gets better and better - both attacking and defending
Sam - 7.5 - Looked up for it from the start. One of his best games for us
Racon - 7 - Pretty quiet but will be a useful outlet on the wing with his ability to hold it up (quick feet as opposed to strength)
Semedo - 8 - I love this guy - The Horse was solid again all game and I love watching opponents bounce off him
Bailey - 9 - Showed what we've been missing when he's out on the wing. Excellent - always wanted posession, got in for a goal and led by example. Much improved
Burton - 8 - Great performance. Excellent hold up play - nice touches and showed some class
Mooney - 8 - Ran his nuts off and offered something different. Really like him and would love us to be able to sign him permanently as he seems to want to play for us. Definite shades of Andy Hunt. Willing to take a kick but worked really hard. nice finish too
Basey - 7.5 - Not on for long but great to see that his added game time lately seems to have sharpened him up. Really sweet left foot. Playing for a new contract as he's out of contract in the summer - hope we re-sign him.
Akpo Sodge - Lively cameo - lightning speed and unlucky. Would need to see more of him
McKenzie - I like the cut of his jib! Strong and mobile. Looks hungry to play.
Parky 9 Played the conditions much better than Incey. 442 is the way forward.
Ref - 8 - Missed a blatant penno and I felt should have given a second yellow to the left back for a lunge on Richardson but aside from that did well with the conditions and let the game flow as much as possible.
Ikeme - 6 Needs to command box better, one good save, rubbish distribution even with weather
Richardson - 5 Got caught out few times
Sodje - 8 MOM - superb in the air, great goal, and looked solid whole game
Dailly - 7.5 - Really like his partnership with Sodje - lucky with the handball
Youga - 7 Got turned/beaten too easily in 1st half - great goal line clearance, played well at right back
Sam - 6.5 Rubbish on the wing, then he suddenly scored, great header to set up Burtons goal.
Racon - 6.5 steady game in unfamiliar position
Semedo - 7 - quietly effective
Bailey - 7.5 Back in centre where he belongs. Not sure 2 free kick were meant. Needs to stop the silly fouls.
Burton - 7.5 Played for the team - probably enjoyed having a partner
Mooney - 7.5 Played well, some great movement and took goal well. Shave have got another, and mis-controlled a lot.
Basey - 7 did his job to a satisfactory level.
Ikeme - 6.5 out of position for their goal but it was some strike. Made a couple of good saves, a few fumbles but perhaps has to be cut some slack over the conditions. Should have tried some more throw outs as shown in first half he can almost equal our Robbie.
Richardson 6 - At fault for the goal and just after let their striker in but was strong and solid otherwise
Sodje - 7 Struggled in the air against Wilberhams first half but again the conditions didn't help. Huge in the 2nd half and another great headed goal
Dailly - 7 sold Christian Dailly like performance
Youga - 7 Had a few moments when he seemed to want another touch and was caught out but kept going. Actually looked comfortable at RB for the first time IMHO.
Sam - 8.5 Back to early season form and a wonderful goal plus assists for goals 2 and 5. Quick feet, good crosses and never gave them a rest. Late on needed to get back quicker when they broke on us
Racon - 7 Quietly effective, more in mopping up loose balls than going forward but good enough game
Semedo - 7.5 Solid, helped out the defence when needed and eventually won the midfield battle
Bailey - 8.5 Great game back up to the level that we know he can reach. A goal, dangerous free kicks and with Semedo won the midfield battle.
Burton - 8.5 MOTM Just edging out Sam and Bailey. What we have missed. Held the ball up, nudged, pushed and upset their CHs all game, did all the simple but clever stuff plus had a (sort of) assist for the 1st, a great chest down for the 3rd and a cheeky lob for no. 5
Mooney - 7. 5 I like him even if he is an evil, sqaud disrupting doesn't care and only here to get fit loan player!! That was a cool finish after finding space and controlling the ball and ran well off Sam and Burton all day.
Basey - 7 A footballer and should have been given more of the deadballs by Bailey to whip in from right.
Parky 8 Changed it when he needed to before the game and got a reaction
Ref 7 Let play go and but called it back for fouls. Should have booked a few more Dons especially for the dive into Mooney in front of the Jimmy South Stand.
MK Dons. Good passing side and Wilberhams looked an excellent CF. Was looking out for Puncheon but didn't notice him at all. At 3 - 1 they were gone and we could have had more.
Liked A Sodje but to short to say. McKenzie also look lively. Good four strikers there to choose from plus Tuna. Can't see much room for the other three if all are fit.
Ikeme - 6 But think he'll get better...lots of potential. Got a bit of presence. Richardson - 6 Better with him in but it was easy to get in behind him. Better on the ball than off it. Needs a rest to get properly fit for the Xmas games. Sodje - 8 When he gets it right there's no-one better in the air. When he gets it wrong he gets under the ball and misses it completely. Really good 2nd half with superb goal and attitude. If he could stay fit and eradicate the mistimed jumps he'd have Premier clubs looking at him. Dailly - 7 Good positioning but that was a pen (push on him may've been from the Charlton player behind the MK bloke) Calming influence. Youga - 7.5 Wins his headers and tackles. And won't often get done for pace. Think he'll score soon too. Sam - 8 Made most of space afforded to him but sometimes doesn't get ball out of his feet when running. Great finish and a good game. Better than Wagstaff. Racon - 6 He did ok and it will take time for him to learn the role. But the boy can play so he probably will learn. A goal would do his confidence a lot of good. Semedo - 8 Back to his best. Did the pressing job really well and hopefully his confidence will return now. Bailey - 8.5 He's done a good job on the left but clearly relished being the main man in the mddle. Mixed it and didn't f*ck about. Will always be a goal threat. Burton - 9 Parky right to rest him after 75 but if he'd stayed on we would have scored more. His control is Hunt like and shows great attitude and awareness. Class. Mooney - 8 Great control and finish. Will benefit from playing regularly with Burton. Shame he didn't pick out Racon (or score himelf) in 1st half. Decent. Basey - 7 One superb piece of control and a brilliant cross field ball to Sam. He'll have to play now because Richardson's hamstring will keep him out. Sodje/MacKenzie 6 each. Both look pretty mobile and strong. They'll be needed.
Parky 8 Team selection spot on. Thought he might have gone for Shelvey to replace Richardson with Semedo moving to RB but he got it spot on wth Basey.
Overall...really enjoyable match. MK came to play and Wilbraham could have had a hat-trick in 1st half. We worked very hard and got the breaks. On the day we had some luck and had too much for them up front. On another day we'd have been fighting for a point.

Burton - 8.5 MOTM Just edging out Sam and Bailey. What we have missed. Held the ball up, nudged, pushed and upset their CHs all game, did all the simple but clever stuff plus had a (sort of) assist for the 1st, a great chest down for the 3rd and a cheeky lob for no. 5
Mooney - 7. 5 I like him even if he is an evil, sqaud disrupting doesn't care and only here to get fit loan player!! That was a cool finish after finding space and controlling the ball and ran well off Sam and Burton all day.
Basey - 7 A footballer and should have been given more of the deadballs by Bailey to whip in from right.
Parky 8 Changed it when he needed to before the game and got a reaction
Ref 7 Let play go and but called it back for fouls. Should have booked a few more Dons especially for the dive into Mooney in front of the Jimmy South Stand.
MK Dons. Good passing side and Wilberhams looked an excellent CF. Was looking out for Puncheon but didn't notice him at all. At 3 - 1 they were gone and we could have had more.
Liked A Sodje but to short to say. McKenzie also look lively. Good four strikers there to choose from plus Tuna. Can't see much room for the other three if all are fit.

Richardson - 6 Better with him in but it was easy to get in behind him. Better on the ball than off it. Needs a rest to get properly fit for the Xmas games.
Sodje - 8 When he gets it right there's no-one better in the air. When he gets it wrong he gets under the ball and misses it completely. Really good 2nd half with superb goal and attitude. If he could stay fit and eradicate the mistimed jumps he'd have Premier clubs looking at him.
Dailly - 7 Good positioning but that was a pen (push on him may've been from the Charlton player behind the MK bloke) Calming influence.
Youga - 7.5 Wins his headers and tackles. And won't often get done for pace. Think he'll score soon too.
Sam - 8 Made most of space afforded to him but sometimes doesn't get ball out of his feet when running. Great finish and a good game. Better than Wagstaff.
Racon - 6 He did ok and it will take time for him to learn the role. But the boy can play so he probably will learn. A goal would do his confidence a lot of good.
Semedo - 8 Back to his best. Did the pressing job really well and hopefully his confidence will return now.
Bailey - 8.5 He's done a good job on the left but clearly relished being the main man in the mddle. Mixed it and didn't f*ck about. Will always be a goal threat.
Burton - 9 Parky right to rest him after 75 but if he'd stayed on we would have scored more. His control is Hunt like and shows great attitude and awareness. Class.
Mooney - 8 Great control and finish. Will benefit from playing regularly with Burton. Shame he didn't pick out Racon (or score himelf) in 1st half. Decent.
Basey - 7 One superb piece of control and a brilliant cross field ball to Sam. He'll have to play now because Richardson's hamstring will keep him out.
Sodje/MacKenzie 6 each. Both look pretty mobile and strong. They'll be needed.
Parky 8 Team selection spot on. Thought he might have gone for Shelvey to replace Richardson with Semedo moving to RB but he got it spot on wth Basey.
Overall...really enjoyable match. MK came to play and Wilbraham could have had a hat-trick in 1st half. We worked very hard and got the breaks. On the day we had some luck and had too much for them up front. On another day we'd have been fighting for a point.
