Successful Irish Trip

What Irish teams did the Dons play?

Three of them, to be sure.

Arsenes,

It was St James Gate; Whitehall and the Bohemians Development Squad.

I don't beleive any of them are top Irish sides, but it was more the performance of the players that was pleasing

Im Oirish but haven't heard of any of those teams.
What are Dons fans expectations for the season? Always liked the Dons(yes I know it's not wimbledon anymore but still...)

Big debate right now - consensus (amongst Dons fans) seems to be we should be in a good position to make the auto promo spots - still waiting 2 or 3 more signings, annd so far have not lost any of last years team - so a good base to start from.

What is less clear is who are likely to be the other top 6 contenders - non (or few) of us have listed Pompey or Coventry. Blades are likely to continue their challenge - then could be new boys Swindon, established Carlisle and Brentford, and maybe Preston who seem to have totally rebuilt their team. But really is a bit of a lottery. We think its will be our best chance to move up a league.

Was that tree games we played in Ireland?

I think MK Dons are getting to like Ireland, but you don't get any points for a good pre season and it was disappointing that Riordan left while the centre back didn't materialise (I guess he went & came back on the same plane).

We still need at least one quality forward. I know people say Lee Barnard is a bad egg and we can over egg that we are a family club bit, but I would like him on loan from Southampton if possible despite his problems (if not there must be a West Ham striker free).
