MK Dons Vs Brighton & Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Beach Hut]

I am not for one minute saying we have the divine right to win but face facts MK Dons were poor and playing a percentage game nearly cost us two points today

OK, stop fannying about with squad rotation. Hemed looked unplayable when he came on, start him against Burnley and give them something to worry about!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Hughton deserves so much credit. Dunk looked washed up, now he's looking dominant. Hemed's goals dried up but now he's done the business, Goldson has been handled right so well done Chris and the coaching staff.

There was nothing bloody lucky about the missed penalty either. It was such an obvious chest from Rosenior that it was an absolute joke of a decision. I've never seen a ball bounce off a stray arm like that!!!

We've made history by winning there today, against a bogey team.

So just how many bookings did we get today? Must have been edging double figures

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.

Actually would have been 7 points behind, but right message.

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.

Relegated sides have a habit of doing OK once the guillotine has come down. Do sides really save players for POs? I am happy to play Derby and Boro last when we will have a good guide as to what we need.

seven

I had Stockdale, Bruno, Kayal, Stephens, Kaz , Skalak, at least two more during their penalty, maybe three, and I thought maybe more - seems like more than 7

Looks so good

 

[portslade seagull]

Our disciplinary is indeed attrocious, 17 fouls v 9 and 7 yellow cards v none !

Yes but they had a red which changes things

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.

No way was this a lucky win , the free kick which lead to there goal was never a free kick , and as for there penalty not in a million years , no where near being hand ball . We were much the better team and the disallowed goal was a very close call could of easily been allowed .

It was Stevens that chested it

I believe David Stockdale would of saved it if it was on target, i said to my eldest that "He will save this".

The ref was an idiot.

 

[Triggaaar]

Very lucky win

Not at all. They shouldn't have had that penalty in the first place.

We're 4 point behind but could have been 8 points if them 2 minutes had been different.

It would have been 8. If Franchise had scored, we'd have 2 points less, if Wolves hadn't scored, Burnley would have 2 points more.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

It would have been comfortable were it not for the good goal scored and the ref awarding a penalty that nobody else, not even the assistant, saw.

Whatever the difficulty we've come away with three points and made Franchise MK look like the ridiculous balloon animal of a club they are.

It was the linesman that gave it

Nothing lucky about that, fully deserved.

The only reason they even got close was down to poor officiating and our inability to finish chances.

I must be clearly on my own with this but playing a percentage game in my view is very dangerous and nearly came back to bite us.

I don't like the tactic, but it wasn't to do with luck IMO.

Against 10 men, even with Sidwell on we should have pushed higher and made the pitch bigger. KLL roasted their right back the few times he went against him.
