    Yes would definitely offer him another contract due to what he brings on the pitch and the touches that can turn a game but also the experience and advice he can provide off the pitch. I think we lost a lot of that when both Jim O'brien and John Bostock left, I think the value of this to younger and inexperienced players is invaluable.

    @Robbie I again, pretty much agree with what you have said, but I'd fit enough still prefer to go with McDonald over Macari. What about starting with McGoldrick and trying to get ahead early and get the job done and then bring him off? And hopefully not end up chasing the game.
  3. Pies79
    Totally agree with your thoughts and pretty much the line up but at this current time I think I still prefer McDonald over Macari and perhaps keep in Whittaker over Grant just because in recent games even if he has not done much, he seems to be able to still pull out a goal, and then put Grant on the bench instead of Edwards, who has not been great of late.

    I am concerned about Richard Montague leaving and hope we have someone in place ready for summer signings abd do feel we seem very light on coaching staff. As much as I hate to say it and although not making much of an impact for MK, I do feel we miss Dan Crowley and our down turn in performance probably since January does seem to coincide with his departure.
  5. Pies79
    Yes I agree with you all, Matty Palmer is a great midfielder with the ability to get his foot on the ball and spread the ball around and keep play moving although I do wish and not just of Palmer but the midfield in general, that we could mix it up a bit and try to sometimes play balls through the channels to players or to run on to or play the odd ball over the top for the forwards to run on to rather than always going out to the wings.

    I think I thought he was much better than I thought to start with, not to say he is bad but perhaps give a little too much space, does get out paced and can be slower to react and gets caught out by a yard or two and then it's difficult to recover from. But I am sure these are all things that experience will bring.
  7. Pies79
    This is my line up, not heard if Jones or McGoldrick are available. I prefer McDonald at the back over Johnson myself from current defensive options. Not sure whether Gordon should start over Jarvis, Gordon gets some good crosses in but Jarvis has shown some potential and perhaps needs to build confidence. I think we will perform better than the last few games, we have to and the team are aware of this to. I think 2 -0 to Notts!

    Maybe we should when required or needed, give our academy players a try, Mahovo could have previously been a partial solution to our then dodgy defence, so perhaps if required with our current defensive injury list, we should try recent academy signing, Theo, if needs be. Just to give him a go and know if he is potentially suitable for us, prior to selling him on in the future and discovering afterwards, that players were better than we perhaps thought they were.

    Sam Austin...he seems to have played everywhere else!
  10. Pies79
    The emergency striker may have to be Junior Morias now that he is back off loan.
  11. Pies79
    Is this a good thing? Is it not worrying that we have lost two members of the coaching staff mid season and the impact it may have on performance going forward?
  12. Pies79
    Yes good news, who knows, if we get promoted, Spurs may agree to let him stay a little longer in league 1, with different challenges and further career progression and development.
  13. Pies79
    Yes good luck to him, I hope he manages to get a permanent deal, for a longer period of time soon.
  14. Pies79
    Some new guys, with Johnson in defence due to current injuries and give Jarvis a go. Some returning from injuries, such as Edwards or maybe Jones here, more central and maybe Tsaroulla or Mrtin on the left?
  15. Pies79
    Very disappointed that he would leave for another league 2 team. Therefore it seems like it must be for the money, as currently we look more likely to be promoted than The Dons.
  16. Pies79
    Yes, I think he should stay, as others have said, he now seems to have settled in a bit and picked up some form in recent games.
  17. Pies79
    Very sad to see him go. I was hoping he would stay and fight for a first team place and try to prove himself. That being said, I wish him all the best at Carlisle and hope he can perhaps help to keep them in league 2.
  18. Pies79
    Maybe after the subdued performance against Salford and lack of creativity, we should have brought Ryley back to playing for the first team. When he has played for us, he has shown drive, speed and creativity, which we seem to be currently lacking.
  19. Pies79
    There has been mention of looking at the Irish league and non-league players but out of interest how do the Scottish league levels compare to the English divisions? And could there be any players of interest north of the border?
  20. Pies79
    Yes I am sure we will have enough up from to get by crewe with a mixture of McGoldrick, Brown and Scott. Not sure if we have seen Brown and Scott play together, with Brown's passing and assisting efforts it could be a good opportunity for Scott, along with the build in confidence from his goal against Leicester.
  21. Pies79
    Yes, welcome to Josh. I don't know that much about him but I think I remember seeing him on the EFL highlights programme last season for Portsmouth, which must be a good thing, he must have done something good to be on the highlights programme, I'm guessing?
  22. Pies79
    This is a real blow. As I still feel that there are not that many players that can pick the ball up and drive forward the way he can. At least the squad is stronger than it was last year and so hopefully the impact of his absence will be felt less. It is positive that he should be back in January and not out for longer, the guys a legend and what a positive statement from him.
  23. Pies79
    To be honest I never thought he was that convincing. I can't recall him making a proper dive or really getting off the ground. I think its a good move for him to get some game time and hopefully build confidence. Although I do think Notts should have a third keeper, whether that's Slocombe at second or third and I still think that we should have kept Brooks.
  24. Pies79
    It is a worry with several players injured already. The squad is definitely stronger and therefore can counter the impact of injured players better. But still, after watching yesterday's game, it still seems that the key players to hold the ball and drive forward are few, such as Jones, Crowly and Tsaroulla and with one of them potentially out for a bit, do we need more players to take up this mental and attitude of driving forwards?
  25. Pies79
    I sit in the Pavis and do wish that the crowd would get a little more involved sometimes with the singing etc but no one around me seems to be negative, I think the signs for 'Maynard out' last season were coming from sections of the Kop as far as I remember
