What do we all reckon? Think our current form will see us through. If Flicker decides to make a few changes, I reckon we'll still look comfortable, with the likes of Mellis, Hassell, Scotland, Rose, RNL all waiting in the wings. Although I don't think we'll make too many changes, as we have so many players brimming with confidence at the minute, the likes of Etuhu, Kennedy and Harewood have certainly stepped it up a notch in recent weeks, so why disrupt that. Although survival is priority this season, I think the financial gains of an FA Cup quarter final is also too good to pass up. 3-1 the super reds. A few views from the opposition too, mixed really, with the slight majority expecting us to win. http://www.thezonemk.co.uk/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=8753&sid=0160813fb3eb7554ffbc1d17794eeccd
Can't add much to that really. We're the form team, they're not. But this is the FA Cup, they already have PL scalps under their belt and I expect to see some changes. Interesting point they make on the cash though. Basically worth a minimum £500k for the winner. I would be delighted to progress, but wouldn't be gutted if we didn't. League survival still THE priority for me.
think MK need a geography lesson or two... from the official site In the Dons’ way are a resurgent Reds side who are now under the leadership of David Flitcroft, the brother of former Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Garry. Despite occupying a place in the relegation zone in the second tier of English football, the West Yorkshire club are unbeaten in their last five and have overcome promotion contenders Leeds United, Millwall and Middlesbrough in recent weeks.
We're the Championship side they're the mid table ale house league team. FA Cup or not. Comfortable 2-0 win to us.
I'm more nervous for the game tomorrow than I have been recently for league games. Bare in mind it's 180k for the winner, another 240k for being on TV in the next round. Plus share of gates for two seperate rounds and money spinners on top like quarter final t shirt, scarfs etc sold in the club shop if we get a decent tie. If we win tomorrow we are likely talking 600k plus on top of the 200k plus we will have made already. That's massive money for a club like us and for once we are expected to win with us being the higher league team.
Its almost too easy to feel confident - so thats a worry! - Know and MK dons fan who isn't confident at all and says they leak goals and are not playing as well as they were in early season. Its probably 50/50 but we do have the belief and plenty of fans down there so hopefully we can nick it. I'm predicting a 1-1.
Expected to win ? Not according to bookies mate. Get some dollars lumped on, William hill 2/1 or 4/1 to be winning at ht and ft
Put us to 9/5 now so some money must have gone on it Quite like the special of Dagnall anytime and a tarn win at 5s.... http://sports.williamhill.com/bet/en-gb/betting/e/4005032/MK-Dons-v-Barnsley.html
