As were most of the other teams in the league last season according to their manager. We were just "more consistent". How that doesn't equate to being better I will never know.

HAHA. They look good, and I like the way they play football, but I sincerely doubt they'll get 95 points. Chumps.

Just out of interest how do we know that they are not better than us in league one?
We were 7th this time last year

Hm - 24 places separating us might be saying something to the contrary.

Bit of "look at me, I'm a mercenary.....go up or I'm off!"
Still, I wouldn't have knocked Bridcutt (for example) if he had said the same sort of thing last year.........confidence from the players is exactly what fans need to hear, as long as it's reflected in performances on the pitch which it is at the moment. MKplasticDons have a good coach and a great style of play. Shame I can never get to like them!

Gleeson is saying he thinks they are better than our team last season, he may just be basing that on the performance we produced at their ground?

If he is of that opinion due to the away game at MK Dons last season then who can blame him. I recall us being pretty rubbish that day.
Based SOLELY off of Football League Show Highlights, they do look to play a more attractive passing game that us, we rely quite heavily on our (excellent) wingers to create things, where as they pass the ball more around the entire midfield looking to create opportunities.

Got ya.
Even so, it's a statement which presumes he knows exactly how good or bad we were last season; him being that smug can come back to bite him on the arse.
It's mainly due to it being MK. If it was Exeter top and saying the same thing, most wouldn't bat an eyelid. As it's the MK Donuts, people are pissing their little knickers about it.

We played poorly against MKD last year, especially away, and the view might be based on that. Anyone involved with, say, Peterborough, would think differently.
And don't forget that these words are being spoken by an Irishman, and are therefore dripping with good ol' boy amiability.

he's just put him and his team under HUGE pressure to now better Brighton of last season.
also can i point out... he quotes this...
“This is my third year, so we’re on track,” he said. “If we get promoted, I’m here, I’m definitely staying.
IF? I thought he just said they were better than Brighton of last year. Surely they'll also walk the league then? Dear oh dear silly contradicting comments like that wont help anyone at MK dons!
