    But we won. That said, we must improve. But we won. Unbeaten in 6...

    Boy can Vaughan take a penalty or what, can't remember O'Donnell having a save to make, just wait till we get our ill and injured players back we'll take some stopping.

    40 points now with a game in hand. You don’t get 40 points at this stage through luck and crap play.
    yeah we are boring and not great but clearly better than most.
    No side in this division in any real form. It’s a very even division with a lot of bad sides.

    You'll never be forgiven.:D

    I went today and I've sat through many 100's of similarly utterly garbage, pleasureless Div4 games and it's been a blessed relief not to go just because I have an ST. The only real negative for me from today's performance is that I've already bought tickets for Morecambe.:brig:

    A strange feeling walking out the ground, we've won but most people around us can't wait to get away. Hard to describe really. I should be happy but I'm glad it was over. Like 90minutes of watching paint dry. You couldn't tell who was 4th from top and who was 4th from bottom. 3 points but jeez it's hard to watch, makes Parky's football look positive.

    Not really mentioned on the wireless, that it was a very nice through ball (YES - we can do them sometimes!) from Vaughan to Connelly for him to win the penalty. With Connellys pace, playing balls inside their full backs should be the remit from GB.

    Their keeper didn't have a save to make.

    Nonsense, lazy and ill-informed statement.

    And who expects a perfect performance? A performance where we show some desire to attack would be much appreciated.

    A dour game of football but another 3 points and another clean sheet. There are some teams in good form below us though like Colchester and Plymouth so we need to play better if we are going to get automatic promotion.

    I'm sure our resident moaners have already written off today's victory because we scored two penalties, but would they be forgiving to Bowyer if we had lost by conceding two penalties?

    I could manage this team and get them in an automatic spot and take them up.

    The league is mighty poor. The standard is awful.

    We've won 2 from 10 and still in 4th.

    Problem is Bowyer is making hard work of this league and playing boring football.

    Home win.
    3 points.
    2 penaltys.
    And we're still shot shy in open play.
    Clap that happy clappers.

    Agreed. No classic. But it was no garbage performance either. In reality Mansfield created little, was inept in the final third. Of whom s making?

    Now, I agree it wasn't great. Crikey, if we can play that average and win, then we should all retain some real positivety that we can go up.

    Did we steal a win.... No. 2 points, yeah I would go for that. I genuinely feel Mansfield would not have scored if we was still playing now...

    Yet to appreciate the defensive display?

    And for the record, yes their was much need for a better attacking intent...

    Yet you haven't been employed as a professional football manager, interesting :unsure:

    It’s painful at times but still up there and now yet again win our game in hand and we go second behind everyone’s darlings Swindon and only 3 points in it.
    We still have to win that game in hand of course but shows how poor this league is. Currently on course to get out of it at the first time of asking

    Our defence played well, but when they have to work that hard against 4th bottom there's something majorly wrong.

    Fantastic performance by Swindon today. Really played some stunning and entertaining football. Their fans were absolutely delighted. . . . .
