MK Dons 1-0 Bolton

Crunch time for Mr Lennon and the boys methinks. Not sure if there's enough time to make the necessary improvements from yesterday, but with the pressure mounting we really have to get an away draw minimum I'd have thought.
From their perspective, they are playing us at a great time so will probably fancy themselves to win.
My guess? 1 - 1 but hoping for better.

0-2 Madine

I can see this being a draw as well.

MK Dons 1-1 Bolton

They scored four away at Rotherham on the opening day and were unlucky to lose against PNE by all accounts, so I fear we'll get pumped.

MK Dons 3 - 0 Us.

Sorry.

Can only see a thrashing for us.

Lennon out.

We'll get a draw or get beat, put your life savings on either of them two.

get back to a back 4 that did well against Derby and lets see, i reckon a draw and then we turn over Fuckwit Freedman for our first win.

Well we've not scored a goal yet this season! That is bizarre! 270mins and counting!

Ref watch: Stuart Attwell to oversee midweek MK Dons trip


Stuart Attwell will oversee the first ever meeting between Wanderers and MK Dons as the Whites make their maiden visit to stadium mk on Tuesday night.

A seasoned official in the game having figured prominently in both the Premier League and Football League since 2007, Attwell has officiated nine Bolton games in the past including two last season – most recently Neil Lennon’s side’s 1-0 away victory over Millwall in December.

The Warwickshire based official took charge of 37 matches last season, handing out 95 yellow cards and four red cards.

Dean Treleaven and Michael Webb will run the line while Nicholas Kinseley is the fourth official.

I'd be frankly surprised if we do score before we get a bit of pace, quality service and sharp finishing into the team and I suspect we may have to try to buy that in with the Ream money so it won't be in place for this game unless Clough finds his shooting boots again or Feeney learns how to supply a front line.

What would be an improvement is going back to the system we played at home against Derby so that we are at least reasonably solid defensively.

Perhaps flooding the midfield would work against MKD but I'd be disappointed if Neil has got it onto his mind that we'll rigidly play one system at home and another away. There shouldn't be a difference once we settle on a system that the players understand and can perform.

A solid defensive performance against MKD would give me some confidence, and a goal would be a bonus until we get new signings in.

We'll lose this one too and the first genuine calls for Lennon to go will start. #boltonfans

I hate predicting losses because I want us to win of course.  But the sad truth  2-0 ....they will be up for this ... we have Heskey on his Zimmer and Clough already slightly nobbled.  So I can't see where a goal is coming from to be honest.

1-6 to bolton. Coyw

even Johnny the eternal optimist is slipping now, he has 6-1 instead of his usual 6-0 

2-0 loss for me.

0-0 nailed on.

We'll turn the corner on this one- they won't make the same mistakes again. it'll be 0-2

Preview: MK Dons v Bolton

SETTING THE SCENE

After drawing at home to Derby County in their season opener, the Whites will be keen to clinch their first maximum of the season against the newly-promoted clubs.

Hosts MK Dons lost their maiden home of the campaign against fellow promoted side Preston North End last weekend, having won 4-1 away at Rotherham United on the opening day.

TEAM NEWS
Zach Clough should be available after injury restricted him to a substitute appearance against Middlesbrough, while fellow forward Gary Madine will be assessed after not being risked against the Teessiders.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The forward progressed through the ranks at Saints and broke into the first team during the 2013/14 season, making 20 senior appearances and scoring two goals.

Now 19 years old, Gallagher made an immediate impact for Dons, setting up two goals on his debut as his new side beat Rotherham United 4-1 away from home on the opening day of the 2015/16 season.
