Steve Tilson on MK Dons game
Robinson: 'It's looking positive for Saturday' It's all building up to the vital clash for both sides at stadium:mk Saturday afternoon. Tilly wants more goals, Dons Karl Robinson wants a normal back four, Paul Ince apologises. Tilson: 'Hopefully they will be lacking a bit of confidence' Shrimpers manager Steve Tilson accepts that you cannot guarantee what Dons team will turn up that after it's been hammered by five the previous weekend at Carlisle, especially one that could show several changes from that dismal performance. Speaking to www.southendunited.co.uk Tilly said: "That result can go one or two ways for them. They will be looking to bounce back whatever but after losing 5-0 I don't think their heads will be too high. Hopefully they will be lacking a bit of confidence; so we have to make a good start and be in the game."Depends on the heads that turn out for them Tills. Still, the Blues boss is aware of the current team situation at the Franchise.He continued: "They have had a lot of injuries lately, and although they have a big squad, the injuries have made an impact on their results over the last month. Paul Ince has assembled a good footballing side who want to get the ball down and play though." Robinson: 'Plenty of players pushing for the weekend' Meanwhile Dons assistant boss Karl Robinson sees light at the end of a very long injury tunnel. He told www.mkdons.com: "It is looking positive for Saturday. Mathias (Doumbe), Cracks (David McCracken), Dan Woodards - they're all pushing for the weekend. (17-goal top scorer) Jermaine Easter's obviously back from suspension but we lose Stephen Gleeson so it's one in, one out, but we've also got our fingers crossed for (10-goal) Sam Baldock." Ince: 'That performance was unacceptable'Actual boss Paul Ince is keeping his head down at the moment but took time out to apologise to the travelling few for the Franchise five goal calamity in Cumbria.Ince told the Dons official site: "It could have been seven or eight - we got away lightly. The fans don't deserve that. Some players tried their hardest and some didn't, and they won't be at the club next season. You learn a lot about your players in defeat, and I've learnt a lot. I've said to the lads: `You've let yourselves down, and let the club and fans down,' and all I can do is apologise. That performance was unacceptable, and I have told the players in no uncertain terms. We started brightly, and had a couple cleared off the line, but defensively we were poor."
