Fan on the board Pete Garston shares his thoughts about what has been a very good month for The Lions:

Well, five wins on the trot - not five games undefeated, five wins!

Kenny has slowly gone about his business. He has bought/loaned well, played players out of position and got them to play well, made good substitutions and changed the formation when needed.

The whole management and playing staff seem to be oozing confidence, and our support especially away at Leicester and Swindon was amazing.

The last time we won six games was in the middle of the 1999/2000 season when we reached the Play-Offs in this division, and the previous time was when we were promoted to the top flight for the first time in our history back in 1988.

When I explained this to John Berylson he decided that he would come over to see the MK Dons game. He is flying out just for the match with his son.

Now I moan when I have to leave at 12 o'clock to get to the ground for a meeting prior to the game!

He pays for the flights himself which isn't cheap and travels 8000 miles so anyone who tries to say he isn't committed needs committing to the madhouse.

KJ came to the board and asked for striker cover and the chairman agreed straight away even though there was a large cost involved.

I just hope the commitment JB is showing can be matched by those fans who have stopped coming for one reason or another.

The team are on a run that could potentially see us there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

KJ has told me that we all need to be together in supporting the team and that support is partly responsible for the success we have been getting.

So let's all get behind the team this Saturday, let's get a few pals down with us, as the better the atmosphere the more chance we have of getting the six on the spin.

Let's show our commitment as JB continues to do.

Pete
