If I ever have a criticism of Colin Lee, it's his inherently defensive attitude. With a game against the Divisional strugglers tomorrow, it's time to temper that. Milton Keynes United look like they might be finally on their way out of this Division (and not a minute too soon), and have been struggling all season.

The trouble with that is, of course, our abysmal away form. There are teams in this League that can punish you severely if you take too many risks and there is a need to keep a solid shape away from home, hence the 4 4 1 1 formation. This Saturday has to be one of those occasions when 4 3 1 2 must be the right way to go, as we try to consolidate that mid table position.

Interestingly, Paul Ritchie, in an interview in the Evening Mail today, is saying much the same thing, that we should be looking to push on against teams at the bottom, in order to consolidate a position in the top half of the table.

In the same interview, Ritchie has also revelaed that his agent is in contract talks with the club. Easy message to Colin on this one:- sign him up! In Ritchie, we have a potential player for the all time Saddlers Dream Team!
