“He’s a very stylish, well-spoken, calm and respected manager.”

And finally, the answers provided by Oliver:

How long have you supported Milton Keynes Dons?

10 years.

Where did you finish last season?

23rd in League One.

What do you think of your Manager?

I don’t really have an overall opinion of him yet. He’s doing a good job so I’m not complaining.

What were your hopes and expectations at the start of the season?

Playoffs at best.

One(s) to watch?

Kieran Agard, Chuks Aneke and Jake Hesketh.

Who do you think will finish in the top 7?

Lincoln City, Milton Keynes Dons, Bury, Mansfield Town, Tranmere Rovers, Exeter City, and Forest Green Rovers.

Who do you think will finish in the bottom 2?

Macclesfield Town and Yeovil Town.

What are your thoughts on Lincoln City?

Great fanbase now but only seem to have found fans in the past few years. It’s great what’s been done though. As much as the 617 Squadron hate our club, I’ll admit they do a good job.

What do you think the score will be?

0-0.

Random fact about your Club?

We have the joint worst playoff record in the EFL.

If you could steal one Lincoln City player for your own team, who would it be and why?

Probably Shackell. Definitely one of the best players I’ve seen this season.

What are your proudest and most embarrassing moments as a Milton Keynes Dons Supporter?

Proudest moment is either beating Manchester United 4-0 or getting promoted to the Championship. The most embarrassing moment is easily the relegation last season.

Who would you say is your most underrated player?

Dean Lewington. 34 year old left back who was basically kicked out of the team last season and has now got the 7th highest amount of assists in the league this season and has been our best player by a mile.

Do you have a Supporters Trust and what role do they play at the Club?

Yes, we do, but they aren’t the most respected group at the club…

Which was your favourite match involving Milton Keynes Dons?

MK Dons 2-1 AFC Wimbledon. Scoring a backheel in the 94th minute against them. Nothing will ever beat it.

Which was your least favourite match involving Milton Keynes Dons?

Probably Southend away last season. Lost 4-0 and relegation was pretty much confirmed.

Do you have a Former Players Association at Milton Keynes Dons?

Not that I’m aware of.

What’s the best thing about Milton Keynes?

Roundabouts.

Coventry & Northampton have major problems. Your thoughts on them sharing Stadium MK temporarily?

Coventry are welcome to come. Northampton however, they’re anything but welcome.

Which team did you support before 2004 and why did you change?

I mean, I was 2 years old so I didn’t support anyone.

You’re amongst the lowest ‘drawers’ (is that even a proper word in this context?!) in the division and have had a couple of really poor patches this season, particularly that 9-11 game spell earlier in the season. Is that inconsistency been down to injuries or Tisdale trying to find the best way with the players available to him?

Injuries. There have been points where we’ve had 1 fit centre half. Our midfield has also been affected by injuries and our best midfielder is currently out injured.

Has Paul Tisdale lived up to his pre-season expectations?

I think he has. He’s turned the place around.

If/when you are promoted how much of your current squad is League One material?

I think some are. I think a number of new players will come in over the Summer. That’s how it is at this level.

Is Paul Tisdale ready for another crack at League One football management?

I couldn’t answer that. I really have no idea.

You have four games left against other promotion contenders, namely Lincoln and Mansfield at home with Tranmere and Colchester away. You also have two difficult looking games against relegation-threatened teams Port Vale (H) and Notts County (A) – realistically, how many points do you think you will get from those, your last six games?

I think 14 would be a solid amount. If we get any more than that then I think promotion will be a certainty.
