    Jackson and Crofts does not work. Why not give Aribo or Charles-Cook a go? Can only see a defeat with that team.

    Agreed.

    MK Franchise are normally 4-4-2, so why change to a 4-3-3? After all the chat on here about Fox being shite and Konsa is not a full back, why leave them exposed with a 4-3-3?

    We have their manager and his assistant for the past few years. They will know them inside-out. They should know what to expect and all of their individual and collective weaknesses. They should know how to set up and play against them.

    MK Dons are usually 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 I believe. I think Agard plays from the right with Maynard up front, Reeves probably plays as the 10 and Bowditch from the left today methinks.

    I think 4-3-3 makes more sense for us inasmuch as it gives us more bodies in central midfield so we don't get overrun. Konsa and Fox providing the width in our system...yeah, agree with you there.

    Somewhat annoyingly starts with the players out (though to be fair he could have been asked the question and it just didn't make the video).

    He also mentions Ade coming off the right I believe, which is odd, presumably means Ajose will play from the left.
    I'm gonna be honest, I understood about 65% of that. Both in terms of his accent and content.

    He should take a breath as well. That was about 1m30s of a non stop sentence

    My guess is 4-3-3 with Crofts and Freddie either side of JJ sitting, with Ajose and Lookman either side of Magennis.
    chance for redemption for the Millwall bottlers

    Well at least the Mk Dons won't need to guess because Karl has taken the time out to explain the formation to them.

    Now I'm all for decent communication but I've never seen a manager go out of his way to explain to the opposition how he's going to line the team up before the game.

    Why not release this sort of footage in say minute 2?

    That thought crossed my mind too but didn't seem to help much the last two times we played them.
  • Lets hope the players repay KR for letting them have yesterday off.

    Konsa did well with Bauer exposed.

    Fox run goes no where.

    Sound quite bright so far.

    They play around then to Maynard and we get cut right through and they stuff it up.

    Lucky to get away with it.

    6' Fox wins the Addicks a corner... #cafc #CAFCLive

    Fox to Ajose, to Bauer, Konsa, lookman and straight to them, lookman wins back, goes past 2 to Konsa, to JJ, few more sideways passes

    Lookman seems a bit further back than expected.

    Ultimately goes out for corner.
