I don't really buy into the 'worst result in Tier 3 since dinosaurs were roaming in Maryon Park' narrative about the defeat at Ipswich.
It was, of course, a very poor result. The midfield caved in and the defence had no answer to an excellent Ipswich side who have had money lavished on them.
Tonight we face MK Dons who are keen to defend their franchise and avoid being relegated to League Two and the ignominy of facing AFC Wimbledon. The Wombles are now 19th in League Two, although probably safe from relegation. At least the 'Johnnie Jackson was a great manager who should never have been sacked' crowd have piped down.
MK Dons are 19th in League One, but had moved up the form table to eighth. Their home record is worse than their away record, having won just four, drawn six and lost eleven. The 2-2 draw against Cheltenham on Saturday saw the visitors score a 97 minute equaliser.
Those who like to read off the result from the last one will no doubt predict a defeat, but a draw looks more likely to me.
Shell shocked supremo Dean Holden says that it's a quick turn around from Saturday, but it is now a mindset and mentality thing: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/charlton-athletic-boss-holden-expecting-response-at-mk-as-ipswich-defeat-provides-absolutely-no-positives/
