    Walker. Only because he can be given a 6. None of the others can.

    The ONLY player that came out of that with credit was Metcalf .

    Team selection was bizarre to say the least .

    Dreadful game. Highlights how much we’ve overachieved with the squad of players.

    The lack of changes over this busy period, and lack of impact from the changes that were made, really shows how thin the squad is.

    Mansfield won't get much easier wins. We were a shambles.

    That's the way mate, nothing surprises us oldies any more we've seen it so many times, but Alexander has a lot of explaining to do with regards that starting 11 and where and how he asked them to play.

    If we were to pick our weakest side many of those players would have been picked. It is the manner of losing that is hard to take. We looked like we had no idea what the plan is. Just poor all around.

    Only crumb of comfort is that none of top 9 won today.
