Valentine card

After the postponement of two matches where we might have hoped to gain six points, live football hopefully becomes available to the Addickted again when we face MK Dons on Valentine's Day at The Valley.

It's an interesting evening as Sheffield United go to Huddersfield.   While this Yorkshire derby may appear to have a draw written all over it, my hunch is that the less massive of the two Sheffield teams will sneak a win.   Meanwhile the Massives themselves entertain Stevenage, currently top of the form table.   Despite their setback against the Grecians, Wednesday must be favourites to win, making it more important that we secure all three points against MK Dons.

Perhaps the outcome is not so clear at Hillsborough as Gary Megson thinks that the Owls 'got away with it' against Yeovil at home.   He feels that a lot of his players at the moment are not playing in the right manner, are lacking energy and some think that they are a lot better than they are.   However, the defeat at Exeter was apparently down to the referee.

The Dons are currently 12th in the form table, having drawn four of their last six games.   They have actually won more games away from home and have only been defeated four times on the road.

Despite a playing budget that falls every year they fail to win promotion, the expectations are that the Dons will secure a play off place at the end of the season.   Much of the credit must go to ambitious 30-year old manager Karl Robinson.   The so-called 'Scouse Guardiola' has a good young passing side.

I don't think this is going to be an easy game and I am going for a 1-1 draw.
