MK DONS 1st leg build-up

Recommended Posts

To clear up the Away Goals thing :

 

These are the results of last season's JPT Southern Area Final :

 

Southern Final

Luton 1-1 Brighton 17-02-2009

Brighton 0-0 Luton 20-01-2009

 

As you can see, it was 1-1 on aggregate and the Second leg went to penalties :

 

Football League Trophy - Southern Final second leg - KO 19:45

Luton 1 (1) - 1(1) Brighton

Craddock 2

Forster 20

 

Aggregate score 1 - 1

Luton win 4 - 3 on penalties

Not at all? Seems like an unfair advantage to MK Dons tonight in that case.

 

No, no relevance of away goals at all. As per last season's Southern Area Final, above. It couldn't be any clearer (unless they've changed the rules, which they haven't).

 

How does that "unfair advantage" logic work ? We both play home and away, we both know there's no difference in goals scored home or away if we end up level on aggregate, and we get to take any tie-breaking penalty shoot-out at St Mary's.

 

The only way it would be an unfair advantage to MK would be if there was no second leg, in which case a discussion about away goals would be somewhat pointless anyway...

weird question i dont have time to go home before the game, so will be bringing with me a rucksack with a laptop and stuff in it, that will be ok to take in the stadium yeah, or do i need to find a locker at the railway station ?

 

Doubt you'll get it in the ground, you could always leave it in someone's car ?

]My point was actually that there have been no "double" away goals ever in the history of football' date=' and it's a stupid inaccurate phrase that means nothing and is utterly misleading[/b'], :smt015 but that's a useful link nevertheless.

 

In the event of scores being level: -

14.4.1 at the end of ninety minutes’ play in all rounds apart from the Final; and

14.4.2 after the conclusion of the two legs in each Area Final,

the winner shall be determined by the taking of kicks from the penalty mark in accordance

with the Laws of Association Football.

 

So no away goals rule at all, then ?!

 

Yeah, I know, I never said anything different. :rolleyes:

I was merely reinforcing your post by providing some evidence, which you have kindly copied & pasted into this post.

HTH

I really hope Mills take's his chance tonight. Pard's has been quoted recently saying that he's concerned about his progress....so tonight will go a long way in showing pard's if he has a future with us or not.

 

i've always thought he's had ability.

Except for Wotton, who was captain at Plymouth for ages. And Davis, who was our captain for the majority of the season. And also Thomas and Perry who have both had captain status in games for this club and others. So yeah, nobody else really ;)

 

He was talking about the fullbacks not the captain.

Anyone else disappointed for Waigo that he hasnt got a start considering his previous input to this cup run! Bart really deserved to keep his spot as well IMO.

 

Bit worried with that team really I suspect our midfield to struggle a bit and Mills will probably get a bit of a roasting so hope he can come through this ok!

Yes I was talking about the FBs

 

My mistake, I apologise.

 

Bart, Aaron Martin, Papa, Holmes and Saga on bench

 

Interesting to see Saga on the bench, might add something to the Pato leaving rumour. I wonder if he'll be put on or if he's just there to give us an attacking option other than Papa?

Fair play to a) Pardew for giving him a second chance and b) Saga for earning it. Three decent options on the bench there with the last three. Nothing wrong with Bart or Martin, but I doubt they'd change the match.

Holmes is not match fit. He hadn't played for a year before saturday.

 

If that was the case why play him for so long on saturday .

 

Just think we should try keeping the same players if possible
