MK Dons have some very good footballers who I think could impress on the large Wembley pitch. fair point about the pitch. We just seem to struggle against Wycombe though, quite a physical side that seem to know how to play against us and get results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but at Wembley (if we make it) I think having Bannan and Luongo playing on that big pitch could give us the edge over a side like Wycombe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Duran Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Mk bottled it big time.. they seem to fold against the big teams.. young team tho. Wycombe like Rotherham direct and aggressive .. but ageing team without big match experience .. might bottle it at Wembley. Tough game tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catdog1121 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wycombe will find it tough on a big pitch like Wembley.. Which ever team Either us or Sunderland play will be tough and frankly one way or another all 4 teams deserve to be in the final... With Wycombe its all about clinical finishing, if you can get ahead against them then their game plan of sit back and waste time and hit on the counter hoping to nick a goal from a set peice will be more difficult, on the flip side if you go go a goal down against them then it makes their job easier.. I think the reason Wycombe have done so well in league one but so poorly in Championship is cause you can get away with it in league one where as you get punished in the championship... At Wembley we should have at least a Championship level Ref so it is to be seen if he would let them get away with it.. But they can still play football, cheating is not their only weapon in their arsenal, they just use that very effectively when they come up against a team that is better at football than they are, they just do it slightly more cunningly than kick the s&&t out of the opposition..

To be fair to Wycombe they had that appalling start in the Championship (lost their first 8 was it? Something like that, got their first win against us obviously) but in the end very nearly stayed up. They just ran out of games in the end. If it is them that goes up this season I fancy them to have a much better crack at it next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is blatant kicking the ball away almost never punished? It's not "gamesmanship", it's cheating. Totally agree. Proper rules need bringing in. Stop the clock if the ball goes out. If it's kicked out on purpose to waste time. All opposition players must remain rooted to the spot like subbuteo and may only stick out a leg for 5 minutes. They'd soon stop fannying about. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much that could be done, and easily. More forceful refereeing with a few sendings off. And please Mr FA, can we at least trial a clock system, it would be so simple. Just a big clock and a bloke with a button, time wasting would vanish in an instant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange saying that about the team thar finished 3rd but we really seem to struggle against the Wycombe style of play. On the big pitch at Wembley we will do them. Let’s focus on Sunderland first though, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toppOwl Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I would have preferred to play MK should we get to the final, I can't imagine the stick we'd get from the other side of the city for losing to Wycombe, horrible side but lets worry about Sunderland first.
