Lack of Action Man Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just watching Chelsea vs Mk Dons, admittedly an excellent finish by Oscar for Chelsea's second but was there any need for his sarcastically toned comment "you won't see any of that in the Championship". Usual media nonsense top flight bias, just like Dele Ali's goal - a carbon copy of Nicky Maynard's. Yet which one will be talked about for years to come? Rubbish.

Keith Welch Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I agree he comes across as condescending but he actually said 'you don't see MANY of those in the Championship', which is possibly a fair comment. Think you misheard it or changed it to fit your argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I thought some of our defending has been bad this season but MKs has been non existent. And yes I know they are playing Chelsea but it shouldn't stop them from doing the simple things correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless his tone was completely wrong in my view, and demeaning towards the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said a lot of things about the Championship and MK Dons but I seriously doubt he actually watches Championship football. Well, you can tell he doesn't. To be fair, MK Dons defending is a joke. He tries so hard to 'tell it how it is' that he does come across as very sarcastic and says some idiotic things. You could say at least he doesn't try and say everything is brilliant but he's too far the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Regardless of the commentators, and the fact they are playing Chelsea (who cruising in 3rd gear), MK Dons' look defensively awful. Yes; it is a premier league side, but it's not their quality alone that is beating MK, it is a complete lack of pressure anywhere on the field, and a plethora of unforced mistakes. Some brave last ditch tackles and saves, but lord all mighty; cannot wait for us to play them. Nice big pitch, and no pressure on our team, and I'd give us a decent chance.

One BCFC Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thought the exact same funnily enough. Patronising little *****, who played in the most dour team to consecutively win League titles in England being Liverpool. Then again on Chelsea's 3rd goal, complained solely about the defending, what about the great finish?! Obviously these Prem clubs are just on another level, obviously.

Ashtonwurzel Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 MK Dons are just going for it. Not interested in a draw or faffing about. Only interested in the League and giving their fans a good open game to watch. Good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Welch Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Doesn't look like they have any specific game plan for Chelsea. Either arrogance or stupidity from Robinson or they really don't care about this game.

mattjtsmith Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 All I can think is, we MUST be able to score vs the Dons. What a shocking defence. Surely no way we can go down instead of this team?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they press and pass like they have today, then based on what I've seen from us sine SC left, then I'm certainly not worried about us giving them a game. Can you honesty say they've not been their own worst enemy today? No pressure, no marking, no energy; compared to the way we went at WBA, they look like they can't be arsed. If I was an MK Dons fan I'd be livid; not at the scoreline, but at the complete lack of effort they've put in. Doesn't matter the skill of the opposition if you defend like that; Chelsea should have double figures here. Like I said; MK look terrible.
