A blockbuster of a fixture against Franchise at their place this Saturday, two defeats on the bounce for Karl and his merry band of boys. Missing both Delli Ali (injured) and Lewington who was sent off on Tuesday night also having lost loanee Afobi, the Dons have stuttered off late, still have a decent side though with the likes of Baker, Potter and Powell. No easy task this one.
A few fresh legs may be used for us after a hectic run of fixtures, selection issues for Grayson. Tough one to call as most games between the sides have been drawn.
About 2000 whites going including a special train which yours truly is on.

Good luck in this one!! I suppose a draw would be a decent result but a win could really put the pressure on them and will give you a nice 4 point gap between you and you still with the game in hand. This is a true 6 pointer!!

A very long and tiring day but a successful one, four train rides later, three points were well and truly brought home by a very professional performance by North End at the impressive Stadium MK. Make no mistake this was really a good performance by Grayson's side against what has to be said was a very ordinary Dons side.
A cagey first half with minimum goal mouth action, A Bowditch shot which dribbled through to Johnstone and Laird effort for North End which the dodgy looking keeper MacLoughlan almost spilled. It was a fairly even half but little to raise the support from it's afternoon in the sun.
The second half was different, North End took the game to the home side with Gallagher and Garner going close, the away support of 1944 began to sense that the home side were there for the taking as we got closer and closer.
Two goals in four minutes did the job, first Potter was hounded by three yellow shirts losing the ball to Gallagher who fed the unmarked Robinson who zoomed into the box firing home off the post. Four minutes later Gallagher corner Garner header game over. The Dons produced less in the second half a shot from Grigg missed by miles and their silent fans started to disappear to navigate the roundabouts.
Mass celebrations at the end, still a long way to go but it's looking better by the day.
Thank you Milton Keynes you were fabulous, see you again sometime.
