Sticking with the same formation that has been so successful all season Let's hope that is finally works, time is fast running out.

Subs:

Austerfield
Delaney
Mayor
Rawson
Smith
Stockton
Watts

Bit surprised at Rawson being on bench.

To be honest this game I think really is a MUST WIN game. I don’t think a point is good enough but a win will give us a glimmer of a chance of avoiding relegation. Let’s hope we start on the front foot and kick the cautious approach into touch!!!

Stockton as sub again? Huh? It must surely be now or never for him to go for it, unless he's injured. He surely must start otherwise.

I think he picked up a knock a few weeks ago, and hasn't been fully fit since.

We really need this to be 'three up front' with Crowley & Hunter getting in the box, rather than the usual one up front, with Crowley & Hunter forced wide & deep. This is a must win, if we're to have any realistic chance of staying up.

A bright start from us, but the first three shots were all from MK.

Swindon had a red & yellow card in the first three minutes!

Thanks for this, I was wondering...again.

Why are we defending so much already. We need to take the game to them more. They are rubbish and we must beat them today! No holding back!

[Born again Bill]

Getting some decent time on the ball but still look clueless in final third

To be fair, I think we've been getting forwards well, it is just the final ball that has been missing. Hunter appears to be generally sticking to a traditional 'number ten' position.

That said, as I type, Milton Keynes with another shot on target.

[jona77]

It’s looking like the usual! Opposition 5 shots 3 on target us 1 shot zero on target!!

[dannymorc1]

MK commentary saying that we give the ball away often! I would agree with that. If only we could just get our final ball in when attacking.

[dannymorc1]

Love appeared to get a hand in his face in the penalty area, nothing given as usual.

I watched it back a couple of times, I think it was a 50:50 'coming together', not a penalty for me.

Two corners for us so far, the ball didn't get in to the penalty area after either of them

Probably wouldn’t know what to do with a penalty , over a year since we have had one

[Born again Bill]

Accy losing , we are above them at the moment

[jona77]

I don’t think Accy losing matters too much what I’m worried about is our tough run in which is probably the most difficult of all the teams in relegation trouble! I think around 46-47 points might just be enough but that means we need to get another 11-12 points during the run in. That’s why today I feel is so massive to try to get 3 points.

[Keith]

Aghhhh, Crowley shot deflected and went just wide of the post!

When your luck is in, it goes just the right side of the post, and in to the net.

Not a bad first half. Love & Gibson our best players. No clear cut chances though.

[Keith]

I don’t think Accy losing matters too much...

It matters if we can get a win today. If we don't win, then it only matters if you want a Morecambe v Accrington derby in League Two next season!

[jbc.shrimp]

If we are relegated it will be down to our passing and ball control, absolutely awful...!

[Old Man Kensey]

Another half of football without a shot on target.
We must have the least shots on target in the whole football League.

Right, and you are totally right... but we'll also have a Barrow derby too. This is a now or never match and if we don't beat the Dons we'll still have some amazing games...Bradford, Barrow, Carlisle, Stockport Tranmere, Crewe, Newport, Grimsby and most probably Wrexham...it'll still be good.

[dannymorc1]

If we could only pass to our OWN players!!

[Old Man Kensey]

Adams lack of attacking spine costing us again....

[jona77]

Ooh bollox 1 nil down!

[Keith]

FFS. After saying Love had a good first half, he was totally at sea there to let MK break and cross for an easy tap in.

Now make some changes, PLEASE!!! We're yet to have a shot on goal in the first hour, now we need two goals.
