Hoping for some points to come back up to Lincolnshire, even with that oaf Huxtable in charge of the game.
 
Tough game as will be every game at this level but happy with a draw
Watching us is becoming rather enjoyable at the moment and still early days but starting to feel the team have some real potential
MApp will be getting some attention at this rate

Will be interesting to see the team selection today, we saw Harry and Lewis on some of the training ground clips from yesterday so hopefully they are both available. Will Bridcutt play and Hopper come straight back in instead of Morton?
 
So far Mapp has got everything right both tactically and with team selection.
Today will be another challenging game and give some more indications as to how we may be able to challenge for honours this season.
Still very early obviously and club, players and fans need to keep our feet firmly on the ground.
Without supporters it is difficult to assess the importance of playing home or away. Does it really matter? The main difference is pitch size and playing surface.
But certainly the advantage of playing at home has been greatly reduced. You could argue that with our fantastic home support that we could be adversely affected by this with our home advantage being reduced. Only time will tell.
Come on you Imps! Today.
 
Looking forward to today’s match. Match pass ready to load. MAPP has that fantastic dilemma of who to pick. Think it’s only Walsh and Lewis carrying knocks. I would expect Bridcutt to start today, but will that push Grant out of a position he has excelled in? Up top will be interesting. Hopper has done very well up there but Morton came in on Tues and has certainly staked his claim. Tough game on the cards today. MK have opened with a comfortable 3-1 win over Northampton and got a very useful point at fancied Donny. Certainly no mugs. And of course they are more than used to the atmosphere of an empty stadium. UTI 👊💥
 
Tough match (they all are) but if they play 3-5-2 like Bradford did it may suit us .... patience may be the key, see what they've got, then attack with pace on the counter.
 
I think MK will look to control possession like Oxford did. As long as we're as clincial as we have been so far this season with the ball, that's not a problem.
 
That's the wife sorted Cotty what are you having.
Fortunately I live alone and can thus enjoy such small luxuries without looking over my shoulder as to who is seeing, unless Buckielugger is looking through my curtains :- )= Although, if he was, he'd be expecting his mug full by now !
