Always good to win, always good to win 4-0, and absolutely fucking marvelous to beat Franchise scum. The first half was unforgettable, MK dominating possession and seemingly trying to bore the Imps into making mistakes. Three or four times MK lost possession in dangerous positions but City lacked composure. Fortunate too that having just been booked for kicking the ball away, Bob Madley decided not to give Brennan Johnson another yellow card for a poor tackle. City pressed better second half whilst MK still fucked about at the back, and twice they were punished with Johnson firing in (the first after a lovely ball by Morgan Rogers). Johnson bagged his hat trick from the penalty spot (had to retake it as Scully encroached), to be the first City player since Lee Angol just over 4 years ago to score three in one match (I was there, fact fans, away at Braintree). A comical fourth was most welcome with Bramall's free kick I think rebounding off the keeper's back as he pushed it onto the post.
Delighted to see results go our way tonight and that will do the players confidence a world of good.

Not so sad given it assists Wimbledon. Also better for us to have the new owners see what a shabby squad this really is rather than scrape into a play-off place we have never deserved. Downside is this season could see two pretty "big" clubs come down into League One, making it even harder to get out of next season.

11 May 2002: Liverpool 5-0 Ipswich, Premier League. Ipswich are relegated.
28 May 2002: The FA allows the establishment of the Milton Keynes franchise.
Since then Wimbledon have risen six divisions, Ipswich have gone down one more, and when their paths crossed, Wimbledon handed out that spanking last night. It's been pretty grim.

Confirmed, it is the first time we've beaten Ipswich.

Derby are not out of the woods yet, and not in great form either.
Ipswich's kit looked lovely on the highlights last night, recoloured badge aside obviously.
Wimbledon again getting better results when I am distracted by being at another game if I can't be at theirs, I'm claiming credit.

I deliberately quoted "big". Derby was the one (Birmingham seem safe-ish). Rotherham though have League One down pat. If they go down they may well bounce straight back up. It's the next stage that causes them problems (with COVID assistance this time too). No disrespect to any club of course and you may well see a promoted club go well next season.
The key point for me, is that after all the complaining the club's plight was the fault of McCarthy/Hurst/Lambert and Marcus Evans it needs to sink in that the players are simply not good enough.

For me to renew players’ contracts and keep people at the club, I’ve got to trust them. At all my teams historically I have had 10, 12, 15 players at every club that I trust. I don’t have that at Ipswich Town
We don’t put crosses in the box, we don’t create chances, we don’t defend well, we don’t defend set pieces well, we don’t retain possession of the ball, we’re not very fit, we’re not very athletic. You can write a list of what we’re not really good at.
This is going to be a very unhappy club over the next two or three weeks because the changes are coming.
Our players are very, very aware of my feelings. If the whole squad didn’t want to come back from Wimbledon the other night, it wouldn’t have bothered me.
