Why on earth would you have taken a point at home to a team in the bottom half?
Because MK Dons are not a bottom half team!!
FFS... If they finish bottom half then yes we should have wanted more than a point yet at the moment the table wont paint a true picture till the season is over
Why are they not a bottom a half team? They've played 18 games already. A point isn't a disaster but to be content with one before the game is bizarre given we should have top 2 ambitions.

They're bang average this year and will be mid table at the end of the season.
We should've won if we have aspirations of top two.
No need to be negative unless it keeps happening. They nicked a point and it cost us two - it will happen again. It’s ok as long as we nick as many or more points in that way. If we win more away games 1-0 without playing especially well I would be happier. Football is not always fair and that’s the beauty of the game.

Its not about being content its about being realistic... We'll lose games and draw games against sides all over the Division
We cant expect to solely drop points against top six sides; it aint ever going to happen so people have to look at opponents and expect a shock result
Before that today I simply thought we'd drop points today... Cant explain why thats why accas are so difficult to win big on

Should have beaten Bury and Rochdale when we won League One... Just saying

Exactly. In our record breaking 2011/12 season remember we lost 5 drew 11. A point is disappointing especially the way we snatched it from the jaws of victory but its not the end of the world. We have to beat Rochdale Tuesday and then do a job at Scunny. Still loads of football to be played yet, COYRs.
Such fine margins, had that Forster-caskey gone off the inside of the post and in I reckon it would have been a cricket score, very dissapointing to drop 2 points to not only a dive but also to a terrible team
A poor point. Clearly the better side in the first half, ran out of steam/ideas in the second - but still shouldn't have lost. Pen was down the other end, will reserved judgement on that until I actually get to see it. MK a shitty side, celebrated like they'd won at the end. Mugs.
If Marshall had put the chance away to make it 2-0, it was game over.
Teams like MK Dons and Wimbledon have no interest in playing football... just foul after foul - not even proper fouls, horrible niggly ones. The number 2 was a right little shit. sooner we get out of this shite league, the better.
By all accounts (my son and his mate James watching a phone clip in the car as I drove home) it was never a penalty.
I am also well aware that individual moments change matches, like the individual moment when the MKD bloke missed an open goal at 1-1 which could well have consigned us to defeat. It all ended up as a messy draw, and I have not been aware of any reaction beyond disappointment, but in games like today making excuses is not going to help.
Broadly speaking I see the game in three lots of half hours today. First half hour we are totally on top, buoyed by a nice Magennis goal, middle section of the game it all gets nasty and narky and we allowed ourselves to get suckered in to it, last half hour they make a double sub, score, our heads go and any result could have happened from that point on.
Obviously the own goal was great, but felt surreal at that moment because I thought we were heading for a draw, and then the officials delivered on the draw anyway. All kinds of weird today.
I don't know why Fosu was dropped given his recent contribution to the team, and I don't know why he was brought on down the middle (although he played pretty well there). I would have started with Fosu instead of Marshall and gone from there. Marshall did not have the impact of Fosu, and he missed a really good chance as well. I also think we really missed Bauer...and the experienced head of a Pearce in that last half hour when it all went 'fungla' (Chinese expression).
On the plus side certainly for an hour, and certainly taking the game as a whole, Magennis played his best for a while, and Josh playing like he did made sense of the Robinson one up top formation. Da Silva and Solly were good, JFC put in a shift, maybe Holmes was way too selfish at times, and Amos was average. Konsa was average too and Sarr went from good, to the moment he missed a glorious chance, to poor all in the one afternoon.
A disappointing and frustrating afternoon that has put pressure on the next two league games, we are slipping behind target and that needs to be addressed.
Annoying match.Charlton should have been out of sight by half time,but we're having problems getting the ball in the net.2nd half MK did better, but we were still in control.Then that penalty...I thought the ref was going to book the forward for diving,I mean his back was towards goal,he might have got the slightest touch in the back ,but he went down like he'd been shot.Really frustrating afternoon.
league 1 has poor referees, the only way of combating the chance of a "wrong" goal is to score some goals which is something we seem incapable of doing at present
From where I was sat looked looked like we should have had a penalty ourselves for a hand ball.
Marshall should have scored as should have Naby, add in the hit post in the first half and we could have been 4 nil up after 6o minutes, instead we were hanging on for the last 15 and looking the least likely to win.
Unbeaten in 8, a point closer to Wigan and a day nearer to Roland selling so it's not all bad.
We really need a goal scorer to put chances away. Every other part of the team is performing.
Watched on iFollow - don't remember Magennis missing many and he scored one. Others had chances, it's not all down to the striker to win us games.
It is down to playing with one striker though IMO. Magennis does everything we can ask of him but it’s not enough.
We should have buried them by half-time and on another day might have done. By the time of the OG we were lucky not be behind.
Who would you leave out to get a second striker in the team? Not that we actually have one, but if we did.
Marshall. Doesn’t look fit enough for 90 minutes at the moment I’d bring him on as a sub in the meantime while we are waiting for him to build up the stamina.

And then, a travesty of a penalty.
And now they scurry away with their filthy point like thieves in the night.

Spanners did not win
Aussies really pissed off...
