Dons chairman expects success

MK Dons Chairman Pete Winkleman has been talking up his club's chances this season. The Dons just missed out on play-ff glory last term and Winkleman has said:

"Pound for pound, I think we're better than last year. We've still got maybe three things to do before we've got a finished squad. We'll get those players and then we can look forward to a really good season.We've got one of the best attacks, one of the best midfields and if we get it right one of the best defences. Put that together as a team and we've got a really good chance."

So no pressure there then for Karl Robinson and his lads!

Meanwhile Saturday's visitors to Milton Keynes, Hartlepool, are hoping to dent their host's hopes at the first hurdle and boss Mick Wadsworth has said: “We’re ready for the new season now and we’re raring to go."

Hereford went down 3-0 at home to a strong Bolton side last night and boss Jamie Pitman is under no illusions about the task ahead this season. He said: "It's going to be a tough one. It's another transition year for us. We've still got a lot to make up and a lot of hard work ahead of us."


Swindon are giving a trial to 6'5" Uruguayan striker Nicolas Raimondi.
As mentioned in yesterday's blog post, West Ham defender Jordan Spence has indeed sealed a one year loan deal with Bristol City and returns to Ashton Gate after spending three months with the club last season.
