Thomas Kaminski damages knee ligaments — 111 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 111 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Callum Paterson breaks a bone — 35 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The wait goes on for Milton Keynes Dons
7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Josh Laurent in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Milton Keynes Dons this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Kane Wilson has improved at 28, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Nobody could get near Ben Wiles
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

One of those days for David Obou
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.85, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Milton Keynes Dons supporters have found a favourite in David Obou
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. David Obou has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Honours even between Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham United
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
In brief
