DPL v MK Dons

Even if we decided that Ipswich were after all a good side which had been underachieving, MK Dons are almost certainly better and come with the established confidence of a long unbeaten run.

A good performance has so far has been elusive and even though the win against Morecambe and the narrower of our losses against good teams have been lauded by some, they have been more of an effective resistance than actual good football.

It is difficult to expel the application of the silk purses and sow's ears analogy to the individuals supposedly carefully chosen by our uncompromising leader. And perhaps that is the key. Maybe Wellens chooses players who he believes could conform with his characteristics as a player. He was not silky smooth, more Whiteman-like and strong, yet skilful, and actually better than Whiteman. At present you could say that his protegees are keeping their skills hidden or still developing them and have yet to make their strength count. We perhaps expect a degree of elegance and we will just not get it. Success will come in a more robust form if it comes at all.

Paul Green is now on board, a very hard working player and one Wellens had at Oldham, so perhaps further evidence of the above proposition.

So in the space of a few paragraphs, my latest theory on The Wellens Era and How Success will be Achieved is made public.

So far it has lacked much success and time is running out for the man and his/our team.

Coming back to the specifics, we always have trouble with MK Dons when all things are equal, so how can we be optimistic of more than a good showing, which even so, could be just an outside chance?

I'll say 0-2 which saves me from choosing a scorer.
