Let's go XMAS tree...4-3-2-1 

Amos 
Gunter - Famewo - Pearce - Purrington
Morgan - Shinnie - Gilbey
Washington - Schwartz
Aneke

Subs: M.Brewer, Oshilaja, Maatsen, Jaiyesimi, Henry, Clayden, Stockley 

Changed my mind, Stockley to replace Aneke when he tires. 

Gilbey has been pretty disappointing so far, so not sure why you’d pick him over Smith, who’s young and energetic, and improving with each appearance?

Gilbey looked good before his injury, was MK player of the year last year and almost more importantly will still be here next season. Think we need to focus on usuing players who are likely to still be around now that our shot at promotion looks pretty non-existent.

I think Gilbey deserves more chances, certainly more than loanees.

Anyone know if you can pause Valley Pass after you’ve bought it? 

Got a meeting until 730 tonight so want to watch pre match from then.

JamesSeed

tbh I think we’re all expecting a massive clear out in the summer, and I’d hope that we might make bids on any loanees who catch the eye before the end of the season. 

Gilbey has shows flashes, and yes, was unlucky to pick up the injury. It’s very hard to judge any of our midfielders, as apart from Pratley (and Millar?) they’ve all been in and out of the team so much they’ll struggle to find top form. Smith and DJ were key players for Swindon, but DJ in particular must be feeling rusty by now. 

Schwartz is another player who is far off being match sharp, and they all might benefit from run outs with the U23s rather than getting 10 minutes here and there as subs?

Nope, you can pause it but if you unpause it'll jump straight back to live coverage

I think it unlikely that JJ would gamble on his first, and maybe only, opportunity to impress with playing someone just back from injury.
I agree that any new manager needs to do a CP and find out who he can rely on and ditch the rest and the only way he can do that is by playing our players when available.

Ah, so you mean something like:

Woke up this morning feeling fine
I've got Charlton on my mind
Jacko's got us playing the way we should, oh yeah.
Something tells me I'm into something good .

I wonder how many people learnt that the hard way.

No. You need to rearrange your meeting so that it starts at 7pm, enabling you to watch the pre match, and then miss the game!

The way we’re playing this match could go one of three ways ... win, lose or draw. That’s my prediction 

You forgot postponed or abandoned.

You could use a screen recorder on pc/mac

With the team news not far away, it is going to be interesting.

EveshamAddick

Will be interesting to see whether there are any dramatic changes to the team and whether the players play any differently.

Me neither, Hoping for a similar result to when we last had a caretaker manager against Bristol Rovers - away (Kevin Nugent) - and we won 5-1. KR in the stands at the match

sam3110

Pratley and Watson dropped

You love to see it

almost couldn't care less about tonight's game now. In limbo until the end of the season playing wise. the important stuff will be happening behind the scenes. new manager, does Gallen stay? where are we with building plans playing wise for next year? (Varney has confirmed squad for Powell's championship season was put together by April). Almost think any sudden bounce could act as a distraction about building for next year.

this sort of comment does my head in!! yes a few teams have games in hand but there's no certainty that they'll win them. look at Accrington, they had 4 games in hand on us but now only have 2 and still sit 2 pts behind us. a lot of these clubs will lose key players to injury and with small squads that can be catastrophic. 
New manager bounce, put a run together and hey presto, play offs here we come!!
On the other hand we could all just give up now and not bother with the last 11 games??

Misunderstood my comment but not going to explain further.

Redman would of gone home at half time if he was a liverpool fan at the champs league final in 2004 when they were 3-0 down. We still have a chance of play offs.

You know absolutely nothing about me so don't make stupid and insulting comments please.

One last nibble. You'd pick Ben Purrington over this?

Quite. It just shows how far he was out of position in the first place.

Ben Purrington is the Vauxhall Vectra of left-backs.
