    Observations from first half, Wood not at the races at full back, AOC passing back far to often, passing is poor and midfield struggling to keep possession,

    But the big plus we now have is that Crankshaw and Vernam have the pace to break quickly when we're under the cosh.

    Can they keep up that energy and pressing for the second half as well though? Be amazed if so.

    We'll have more of the ball in the second half and I believe we'll score again. Their defensive back line looks poor.

    Despite being on the wrong side of possession we look the more likely to score

    They are still in this game, have hit the post and had a goal ruled off-side.
    Strange though-they have had only one attempt and none on target in the first half according to bbc sport

    They say that's the sign of a good side, such a casual finish no need to break the net just place it wide of the keep, T&S need a word although for all Mansfield possession they haven't had a shot on target we've had 3.

    Got a nasty feeling one goal won't be enough.
    But Mansfield could get caught and apart from the big bald defender they look poor at the back.

    Omens are good when you can play crap and still be leading.

    Maybe not having a single shot on target has something to do with it.

    Really enjoyed that first half. Good opponents testing us, high press, movement and won a fair percentage of second ball. We have contributed to a good game. Nice energy, tackles, little bit of the rough stuff.

    But credit to us, defended better as the half drew on. The offside goal by Mansfield just on half time, was brave by the defence to step up and get Mansfield offside. Canavan has been excellent in that middle 2.

    But I'll repeat what I said earlier, we look vulnerable when teams get at us. I think we may be getting worked out!!

    Not really sure how we're winning because we've been second best all over. Everything we're doing at the minute is sloppy with and without the ball so it needs to be much better in the second half if we're going to win

    Only as well as AOC. That tackle on Bowery near the 6 yardbox was AOC back to his best

    I think poor is hard... Sloppy certainly in possession but when we have retained and moved, we have looked decent enough.

    Tell u what FB, that defence certainly has not been poor
