Should be a good game, I think 2-2.

Has the buildiung work started yet on the stadium?

Hi Bill. No not yet, however, the Moyes End Away Terracing has been closed for some time and will not, I think (so double-check), be open to the Dons faithful. I think therefore that you will have to sit in the North Stand Away section. Enjoy the day, if not the result.

Yep, I've got my ticket in the North Stand. Posh have been on fire this season but I hope we catch them with their pants down. I think Posh are favourites in going up and I will take a draw, although a win for us will be so sweet.

There'll probably be more pressure on the Posh players who haven't really put on a good league performance at London Road yet. The game could really go either way. Personally, I'm hoping we can put on the sort of display that we put on against Reading in the League Cup - in readiness for the Sunderland game on Tuesday night.

Perhaps you ought to leave something back for Sunderland, after all we nearly beat them and out played them most of the match.

Furzy, looks like we stand a good chance against them, although Di Canio will be demanding no less than a win from his team to help preserve his job.

From our last meeting, we still have Tomlin, McCann and new captain Tommy Rowe, plus others. Our new danger man Assombalonga will present a threat, along with Barnett who has started to justify his £1m signing on fee.

You still have Chadwick and (the ageing) Lewington, and now danger man Bamford.

A mouth-watering encounter awaits us.

It would be nice to have a £1m to spend on our squad. We lack depth and a quality strike force. Am sure we will give you a game and given luck could punish you. 2 nil dons 😊

Ageing Lewington <yikes. I don't think he will like that. I think Gleeson and Baldock will score (bro of Sam).

Posh ought to concentrate on the cup, winning this league should be a doddle for you.

Moocamp, I like your manager, but I guess that the Moo Camp itself must be a drain on resources. 2-0 to the Dons? Unlikely, unless we repeat our performance against Crawley.

Furzy, I didn't realise Sam had a brother. We beat Bristol City last week, so maybe Sam has had a word. Gleeson's another good player and will be up for it as it is payback time for him from the last occasions we played.

It would be nice to do well in the Cups but promotion is a priority.

It would be nice if you could join us. There aren't enough South-of-Sheffield sides in the Championship and the Huddersfield fans (apart from Champers) need keeping down in their rightful place.

¡Hasta mañana!

Yes, see you tomorrow & may the best team win (at least if it's us). Promotion with the Dons top and Posh 2nd would be good.

I forgot to add that George is even better than Sam.

Gulp! All will be revealed, however, by 5pm.

UTP!!

A miraculous win that by our nine men against 13. For some reason the red/yellow-card-happy idiot ref and one of his flag-happy sidekicks decided to join the Dons' team.

A game spoilt by Drysdale, the ref, and totally draining for the Posh team and fans. A golden opportunity missed by the Dons, who got away scot-free on the card front for similar fouls.

If our players have any energy left for Tuesday, we may beat Sunderland; but extra time/penalties will probably prove too much for us.

Well done to our goalie, Ollie, and to the rest of the team .

You can't blame the ref, for the 1st your player's hand did hit our player's face and for the 2nd he went in with the studs up. Both soft reds but we've had similar.

Congratulations on the win and especially how you played in the 1st half. We were a lot better in the 2nd, but didn't take our chances and I think you are one of the favourites to go up. And good luck against Sunderland.

Another three points on the board for Posh,
I have some sympathy with Karl Robinson's comments about cheating refs now, having seen that Mr Drysdale sending off two of our players left McDons with nine Gladiators to contend with. how cruel!

No contest! ..

Thanks Furzy, I still think that the ref was harsh on us. Tonight's Football League Show should clarify matters.

You bought some good support and it was nice of your manager to shakes the hands of our players at the end of the match. Hope we both go up, and that the game at the Moo Camp produces a proper game of football - and that Drysdale does not "referee" it.

I think he was a bit harsh but I could also see why he gave them, especially as the 1st he had to go with what the lino said.

Robbo is really quite good, although he does like to wind up the opposition's fans and get in the media.

I would like to go up with you as we don't much have a local rivalry without you and I wonder how we would cope with our style of play against championship teams.

You have found another nugget with Assombalonga and I liked Tomlin, although he was trying to wind us up a tad.

Tommo is always a winder-upper and gets red-carded at least once a season - which is why he was substituted. If he'd stayed on, he would have been another victim of Drysdale's red-card-lust.

Thorney, my prediction was made it a big as I would have been very surprised if we had won. But irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the sendings off - the fact that we faced 10, and then 9 men and failed to capitalise on it says it all. Our ability to put away chances is just hopeless. We should have punished a 10 man Posh, never mind a 9 man one.

Hats off to the Posh team, had to work overtime to keep the Dons at bay - and sadly did it with much so spare.

Lets hope when you come down here a) we get a decent ref and card free game and b) dons have learnt how to score in front of goal

Great result for the Posh, I think Drysdale could have sent off a couple more and it wouldn't have made any difference to the result (unless he sent off the goalie).

It just shows what I have been saying for a couple of seasons now, unless MK Dons get a decent striker, they will (at best) stay a League 1 club, I know Winkie has done a brilliant job, but it might be the time to hand over the reins to someone with deeper pockets.

I hope Posh do go up and this time cut the bungie rope which keeps bringing them back down again. With a decent striker, MK Dons might just go up with them
