Think Bow's deserves our sympathy, choosing the best balance for the team. The combinations are endless.
Doubt Williams will start, midfield would be stronger physically & creatively imo with JFC holding & Morgan/Shinnie CM's with Millar roaming either on wing or behind striker (s).
Downside of above is lacking Pratley to help out defence at dead ball situations. I like Pratters in the team but feel his form dipped recently.
Too many questions, my head hurts. Answer at 6pm. COYR !
I really hope I’m wrong but I think Watson will have to have much better mobility than I’ve seen from him to date for this to work. I’m also hearing about us matching up but I do wish we’d try to play our best formation and let the opposition worry about us. Seeing Pearce, Pratley and Watson in the same line up makes me think we will get danced around with mistakes and red cards on the agenda. I think Bows is looking for a Cullen type and without one I think we’ll struggle to make the top 6.
Given recent performances, a draw will be a good result.
I have given up trying to predict the starting eleven and just wait for the Twitter announcement.
Last midweek game for a while, and the teams around us will be playing their games in hand over the next few weeks. The table should have a more even look (Covid allowing) for games played by end of February and we will have a better idea of our true position
Reminder of the team and formation when we last played Milton Keynes
Worth remembering it was Shinnie's last game before the Peterborough one last week, felt losing him made the second half even worse that night
I’m a fan of Washington, but tonight our front three (from Millar, Schwartz, Stockley or Aneke) will be an improvement on the front three in previous MK game.
So are Shinnie and Watson for that matter. We urgently need some pace and power in the middle.
I think if we get that pace and power in even one player the rest of them should be able to play to their strengths and we’ll be ok. Of course we need the defence to get sorted too.
Please can the footballing god's let us score first. We all know what follows when the opponent scores first and a 2-0 or 3-0 is so due and needed to settle my nerves and grumpyness.

They move the ball well , and it was a bit of a wake up call , we need to wake up or we'll get battered again.

Subs: Amos, Gunter, Pratley, Williams, Gilbey, Stockley, Washington.

Chuks will score at least once (if he plays) .
Everyone else will run about a bit to little effect.
1-2
PS Gilbey is skillful but so slow it's painful to watch.
Can Watson play?
But I did for Accrington and Rochdale too.
Think I'd go with Pratley over Watson, more mobile
Otherwise, all good
Unfortunately not very well.
This is a bad sign.
