Ho hum, sad that we once again have basically no cup excitement to compliment out season. First time we've gone out In the 2nd round since the 1974.

Sad thing is I'm not too sure we had much expectations going into tonight.

Look forward to hearing from some of the few hundred there

    With the squad we put out tonight and I would think some of them were not completely over the sickness that is going round, I did not expect too much, although we seem to play well in the 90 minutes according to the 3-Counties radio

    All going ok until Johnson was brought on. He's still looking for a win bonus since his return.

    We never win with Roger Dim.

    Charlton lose; roll up, roll up! for the grand Post-Defeat Competition to be the most scathing! Early promise from blackpool72, but perhaps a little too self-knowingly witty for the judges?

    Is that the name of one of your obscure bands or are you trying to say something?

    Robinson just another clueless PUPPET bringing off captain JJ for 'f**k off' Roger Moneybags, complete contempt for the fans travelling north in the freezing rain, paying for their tickets! I don't care if we could have won it, bottom line is RESULTS, we got beat 3-1 by a shit shit Franchise FC, shouldn't even be a football club, 3-1 is shit, Robinson is SHIT. Just fell apart like we're going to against Millwank. RD OUT KM OUT ROBBO OUT get Curbs and Powell back

    Tough one for Robinson to call really, an extra midweek game going into the busiest period of the season when our squad is ravaged with injury is probably something he could have done without, playing 120 minutes and losing is even harder to take.

    Hard to think of a positive really, Brighton away would have been good, I guess we just trot out the "focus on the league" cliche.

    Awful game had 2 chances to go 2-1 up but Lookman and Ajose fluffed them. Then he brought on Roger tosspot Johnson and the defence went to pot. No midfield and Roger Johnson has cost us again. Time to stop bouncing around Robinson and prove your not full of shit like the rest of the twats before you.

    First people moan cos we aren't scoring any goals but we're not letting any in. Then we score a goal and let a few in and still people moan. Poor Karl just can't win. Literally.

    Being serious for a second, it seemed like the possibility of injury to Botaka knocked a bit of stuffing out of us - I know it's not an excuse, but I can well imagine the energy draining from everyone's legs as they contemplated extra-time with ten men. Just one of those things.

    How time flies - that's 3 games, 0 wins for Karl.

    Timing of injuries and the sickness bug were unlucky, but aren't they always? That's why most clubs try to put together a deep enough squad to cope with the hitches.

    No matter what your standpoint on this regime, one thing that has been demonstrably true is that they have not yet understood the importance of squad depth. Let's hope they give Karl a bit of backing in January.

    Took the short 10 minute train journey from Leighton Buzzard to Milton Keynes for my first game of the season. Have not been able to bring myself to travel down to SE7 this season after watching utter dross last season under the Belgian regime and like many others I do not want to line Roland's pockets!

    Despite this, after seeing the starting line up I was looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters have a run out.

    Keeping it short and sweet we knocked it around nicely at times and although the likes of Aribo gave the ball away on quite a few occasions he always seemed to keep his head up and win the ball back. We definitely have a class act on our hands here.

    Konsa and Tex were completely solid at the back, Konsa in particular I thought was our best player running the ball out from the back with no fear at all!

    Strange substitutions which maybe reflected the weak, depleted squad we have with the bug we have had going round.

    Roger Johnson is an absolute disgrace and KR must get rid of him in January, he is absolutely awful!

    Ajose is too weak to play upfront on his own and we desperately need to strengthen in this department as we can't rely on Mag. However, his work rate was absolutely awful anyway!

    Meaningless game (pains me to say it in the FA cup but MK will get spanked by Brighton) and we came out with no casualties. Tex must continue at centre back!

    Never saw Slades Charlton side but I am sure Robinsons lot are at least a shade prettier whilst not really threatening in the final third. At least he try's to play football in the process.

    If we're shit on Saturday and deservedly lose then virulent criticism could be expected - this just seems to be the wrong match to lay in after

    Sounds like Ajose fluffed his lines again late on which would have put us 2-1 up. Whether he has found it difficult to settle, I really don't know but he is clearly not the same player who was scoring with regular ease last season. People defended him under Slades stewardship citing the lack of service but when chances have come his way he more often than not screws up and his confidence is dealt a further blow.

    If he doesn't start scoring soon he's in danger of being labelled a dud like McLeod and if he is going to be played wide left and asked to do more work off the ball as he was last Saturday I can't see his fortunes changing anytime soon. He was bought as a 20 goals a season striker and this has not been evident to me with nearly half a season gone. I hope I'm wrong I really do but one thing is for sure KR's man management skills will be tested to the limit getting the best out of him.

    To be fair, you're the only one on here having a pop.

    In that pre-match interview KR said that he was throwing a few in to see if they could perform before the Jan window.
    Hopefully he has seen that RoJo is a liability and soon has him completely sidelined.
    As for this result, at least KR was enterprising with his starting 11. Rather have that than the absolute shite Slide was serving up. We will be top 4 before long.

    @Leuth I dont normally comment on your posts, I try to stay objective across all opinions. However KR had to play what he has tonight, due to sickness and injuries, substitutions were not to blame. What is to blame, or should I say who is to blame is RD and KM.
    We have a small squad, the above 2 were hoping we could get by using our youth as replacements and hoping we wouldn't get to many injuries in the squad!! that wont work, men against boys and all that!!
    Once again they have been caught out. So what can they do? Reports are saying that Konsa and Lookie are off in January for circa £10m. I have no idea if this is true or not, but, lets assume it is.
    If RD sells them but only 'dabbles' around the edges with replacements, would you be happy then? If KR says he needs decent top quality replacements and wants to increase the squad size but is unable to do so, will you be happy then?

    However If RD/KM are serious about getting us back to the Championship, where we were when they took us over, and they back up their words with actions in January then fine, I will say good on them and thanks, however past performance and actions suggest they wont, lets hope they not only admit mistakes but actually do something about them!! Without positive PLAYER action we are I fear stuck in this League for at least another season, and yes I do like KR and his philosophy, but he needs RD support!!

    Botaka just pulled up with cramp. Granted Novak went off in the first half,but it's hardly a surprise to see him injured.
