I am thinking of a weekend away this day and had convinced myself that there is no way on earth that this could be the one.

Am I right in thinking there will be a minimum of 6 games to play after this one, maybe more in some promotion rivals have a cup run? Us being 19+ points clear of third at this stage in surely pie and sky?

Yeah that sounds unlikely, although that would mean it *could* happen at QPR if we were 16 clear going into the game. Putting that into context, we'd be 10 points clear right now if we had beaten Cardiff and Reading/Fulham had finished goalless, so it's not *that* inconceivable...

Any sign of South stand tickets going on sale?

More tickets on sale this morning as one of the 'away' blocks has been put on sale releasing 568 towards the south, whilst a further 30 or so magically appeared near the half way line. I have now managed to get my two tickets, marvellous scenes indeed.

That was a bit of a result. I was thinking I'd have to make do with a poor seat because I've left it too late, but those ones that went online this morning are as good as they get.

I thought Naylor was expecting Hünemeier to play.

I'd be surprised if the side was quite as raw as you're suggesting, and I'd also think March is more likely to start, given he's getting pretty much up to match fitness now.

Ah yes I wasn't sure how he was getting on. I think [MENTION=25402]Blue Valkyrie[/MENTION] is probably right with his suggestion, although I thought Pocognoli was injured hence not on the bench at Fulham?

I think it might be quite fun to stick youngsters next to the pros for a game.. Tilly learning from Hemed, White from Goldson etc probably won't happen though.

Maenpaa
Hunt - Goldson - Hunemeier - Pocognoli
March - Kayal - Sidwell - Murphy
Hemed - Baldock

LuaLua is still banned. Hunt not involved with U23s today would suggest he will play right back unless Rosenior is ready to come back?

Lewis Dunk is suspended for 2 or 3 (?) games so for MK Dons I reckon he's likely to start whatever his first choice centre back pairing is for Preston. I'll be very surprised if both Goldson and Hunemeier play...

It'd be lovely to see Rosenior, although it'll probably be from the bench if at all.

No way I'd risk March or Baldock. I'd be gutted if either of them picked up a knock ahead of Preston.

With Dunk suspended for Preston, it would be MADNESS to risk Duffy in this game.

It is an equal risk to play Goldson, but one they'll feel is justified because he needs game time. Duffy can go shopping, or ten pin bowling.

Towell might start. I was just thinking March has had 1 start since injury so will be good to get some minutes in him and has a week's break till Preston.

Obviously it depends on whether you think the risk of Duffy getting injured is higher than the added value we'd get from the valuable game time where Goldson and Duffy get to play alongside each other.

Obviously.

If you were MAD, then you'd consider it worth the risk :thumbsup:
