Do you think we aren't trying to?

No but there's a difference mentally between do we have enough points and lets smash it. Like you i don't know what the team's mentality is but i know which one i'd click into.

To add to this i would say I've been prompted by the bloody awful match against SW, with Burnley next at home; lets not play for the draw.

CC on Skalak (paraphrasing): "Another hard game for him, but the quality from the cross for the second goal was there for all to see and is what we see on the training ground all the time"

That was our club's history condensed into one game. Talk about not doing it the easy way...

Very lucky win, in my view but 3 points is all that matters.

Playing a percentage game is very dangerous, this should have been a comfortable away win.

It should have been a comfortable away win, but as you say, that's the Albion all over.

At this stage of the season it's not about the performance, it's about the points, and winning at all costs.

There are no easy games and MK Dons recently held Hull to a draw. We made hard work of it and had a bit of luck with the missed penalty, but got the three points. Don't expect there to be any comfortable games now. Teams fighting for auto/playoff places. Teams fighting for survival. Every game will be a battle, but you can guarantee that we won't give up the fight.

Totally about points now nothing else matters

I know it's a cliché, but there is no such thing as a comfortable win in this division. MK had only lost 1 in 5 before today including a creditable draw away at Hull.

In an ideal world, the last 3 games we play would be against a relegated side and two sides saving their best players for the playoffs. The latter won't happen but what an amazing season this is turning out to be in the most competitive league in the world.

I just woke up and read the match thread from half time onwards. That was the most intense I've ever felt reading text, I can't imagine what it was like being there. MK missed a penalty and Wolves equalised in the same post. This really could be the turning point. We're 4 point behind but could have been 8 points if them 2 minutes had been different. Wonderful stuff.
