How long have you supported MK Dons?

Since they moved up.

What is your present squad like?

Our last match against Carlisle we got thrashed but mostly due to having at least half our full team out either injured or suspended. Fully fit and on form we're play off quality.

Which youngster has made the biggest impression in your team this season?

Most likely Sam Baldock (again).

What's your manager like and will he still be there at the end of the season?

We do have a habit of losing our managers at the end of the season but Ince is back for a second stint and looks committed. Whether others want him to stay will be another matter.

On shipping five at Carlisle last Saturday

Last month Ince had a bit of a clearout of our team selling two experienced players and loaning out two other useful ones and now we've got half our side either injured or suspended I think it's come back to bite him on the arse big time. TBH, the way it's been going for us for a long time Carlisle may well have beaten us with a full strength squad anyway.

Most seem to think that we have a far better squad then the one that won league 2 for us a couple of seasons ago. They don't play like it though.

A lot of our lot are starting to boo and/or call for Ince to go.

Are you happy with your chairman/backroom staff?

From our point of view we couldn't ask for or expect more from them.

Favourite ever player and why?

Keith Andrews, (midfielder now at Blackburn Rovers), was immense for us and seeing him as a regular in the Premier League reinforces that.

Best ever Dons game seen?

I thought last season's home match against Leicester was a goodun. They came down expecting to wipe the floor with us but we dominated and out played them most of the game.

Which team do you want to beat most and why?

I think beating Leeds would be quite satisfying.

Favourite away ground and why?

I remember as a kid taking a liking to QPR's ground. Nice and compact but with a good atmosphere.

Any decent place for a pint?

The nearest pub to our ground is The Beacon, which is about a half mile walk away through Mount Farm industrial estate.

Your choices for this season's League One Champions, runners-up and the play-off places and the four relegated teams?

Looks like Norwich are now looking strong as champions. Leeds wouldn't surprise as runners up.

The play offs and relegation places could be as is really
.

Any opinions on Southend United, especially with their current troubles?

I wish you all the best and hope you bounce back from what ever.

How do you see the future of the football league?

Continuing as it is really.
