Mansfield must be wondering how they aren’t winning let alone behind, we need to improve dramatically second half to hold on to this. We’ve left off from the last 15 minutes at Walsall.

 

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.

 

Give Mansfield a bit of credit for all that mate

 

Probably with this formation, not bothered if we keep getting results. Not sure how fans, once back in numbers at VP, would react though, could easily get on the players back if no early breakthrough

 

and Bruce Bannister

 

To answer your question absolutely nobody. Another question is will we win if we don’t improve second half? @Botswana Bantam makes a good point though, hopefully they will tire due to their press.

 

Vernam and Rowe both need reminding of the job they need to do. Both really over complicate things when we just need to keep it.

I see far too many moments of Rowe looking like he really doesnt care. Plays some really lazy really stupid passes too often.

 

I’m still not convinced about Rowe. This annoying habit he has of trying to hit every ball with a first time flick on, gifts them possession nine times out of ten. Lazy looking player, who fortunately seems to be in the right place, and enjoys a shot. Looking forward to seeing him with a target man alongside.

 

Paudie man of the match

 

Nice move then. Shame about the cross.

 

3 hard points ground out. Mansfield ref card

 

Battling performance. Another 3 points. Next.

 

Mansfield - zero shots on target.
We are restricting strikers to scraps, even when oppo teams have lots of possession.

 

Our back four were excellent tonight, especially the O'connors and Canavan.

 

Actually, none. Hitting the post counts as off target.

 

Two lads in the middle of our defence were unbelievable tonight, rock solid. Bolton game at the weekend is massive...
