Yes, I noticed that.

Am watching Final Score. Plymouth losing 5-2! Maybe their poor run has started?

Hope so.

Did you see Whittaker scored for the Swans v Stoke the other night? They're missing him.

Probably missing their injured keeper more I suspect. I’m pretty sure there want be a correct score for this one in the Prediction League.

Get In. I was worried we would mess up and MK would equalise at the end.

Three consecutive clean sheets is not to be sniffed at. Let's keep that defensive group together and build further confidence.
Ok so only a 1-0 win, but only a few weeks ago we'd have thrown this away at the death.

Looking at stats on Sky........, loving Harry Clarke getting the 90mins. Well done KMcK noticing that he is the natural starter in that position.

And MKD manager putting Will Grigg on for only a few final minutes? Got to be sacked just for that.

Could be major, could be a turning point now. Plymouth losing so heavily could play on their mind. Lets hope so

Massive Three points on a day when Plymouths demise gathered more pace, only Five points gap now which is half what it was not long ago. As I've been saying for bloody weeks, sometimes 1-0 needs to be enough and you defend it. We did that today.

I don’t post so much these days. But for what it’s worth I think the lack of posts is just a sigh of relief after a fairly average performance. We were the better side second half but unconvincing finishing meant it was a close thing. I have to say it wasn’t a great game.
Not sure if it’s KMK’s belief that Hurst is big and strong or just because the pitch was poor, but we played a lot more long ball particularly first half and it just isn’t our game.
Deserved the win but could so easily could have gone behind early. Great goal to win it but 2 or 3 excellent chances wasted.
Regarding top 2, I’m more worried about a couple of those below us than I am about Plymouth. If it comes down to the playoffs, a couple of those below us are really on form.
Still, a win is a win, but I’d like to see us being more convincing winners than that.
