A trip to one of the pre-season favourites on Saturday, as we take on MK Dons. I don't know a great deal about MK's squad, but there are some familiar names like Chuks Aneke and Kieran Agaard up front, ex-Macc midfielder Mitch Hancox (he of the You Tube videos) and Dean Lewington in defence, who seems to have been there forever. Their new manager Paul Tisdale is a footballing purist, so this will be a very different game in style to the Newport match.
As for ourselves, Micky has a few selection dilemmas. Caprice is fit again, but I would probably prefer us to stick with Buxton in a match away from home where we are bound to be under a fair amount of pressure. I think Stockton will replace Mullin up front, and I hope Smith also starts ahead of DMH.
Our record at the soulless Stadium MK is appalling, but I did see a victory on our last visit, Ryan Lowe scoring a last minute winner.
There is a lot of interest in this game from Rovers fans and I would expect another healthy following of 7-800. A draw would be a very good result; in fact, two points from the next two matches would be a good return.
