Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home V Mansfield Tue 2nd March. 7pm kick off.

It wasn't the best of performances but the defensive effort wasn't just from the back four, Sutton, Watt, Cooke and Clarke when he came on.
Even when not at our best we at least look like a team now, not like a bunch of strangers. Well done Trueman and Sellars.

 

But how many attempts at goal. Ignore the offside, he was in Manningham Park , he was that far off!

TWO.

 

Why?

 

I was thinking of the two most audacious overhead kicks I could think of off the top of my head....while still reeling from AK's comment, and trying to watch the game. Sorry.

 

This league is about both boxes. I think we can and will be better with the ball. I think we'll need to be on Saturday. But tonight we defended our box superbly and for all that Mansfield were sharper in possession, their keeper was the only one forced to make any real saves.

 

Better than DMH?

 

I'm loosing it mate,

 

Against Barnsley? Fantastic picture of it in the Sunday Express next day.

 

I wish I'd never f&¤#/ing said anything now!

 

In fairness

Stanley Collymore all day long.. Why.....execution and the opposition!

 

Paudie is going to eat Doyle for lunch on Saturday. Then spit the little ginger f&&k out of the side of his mouth like popeye spitting spinach.

 

We're just so unfamiliar with those kinds of words it's no surprise some of us are spelling them wrong.

 

why would we care ?

 

Not for me they 'aint Kev!! Give me the auto's every time rather than the nail biting play-off's.
Get the auto's, sit back and let the others fight it out for that last remaining promotion spot!

 

Another winnable game.

The next 4 games will show just how competitive we are. Playing some teams in good form and good league position. Going unbeaten in these games will really put us in the mix.

Back to Mansfield I am expecting another Leyton Orient type game-we just need one piece of magic to break the deadlock.

Our defence is up there with the best in this league right now.

Really looking forward to a tight game. Think it will end up 2-0 to us.

 

Providing only cook is the only one unavailable from Saturday then Rowe comes in and we go same team and burell on the bench.

I expect this game to be a very cagey affair Mansfield need wins to have any chance of a play off push themselves but I am confident we will get more pts on the board. Would take 4pts from next 2 games.

 

Exactly my point about managers, who are legion, failing for a reason. Ex-pro footballers who rock up into management with same old same old ideas from their careers out on the training pitch and hardly ever upgrade/update their views on new thinking and fresh football ideas. It amazes me that the same old names bounce around from club to club, generally being very mediocre indeed but still continue to get management jobs. Re. Clough - if Mansfield don't get in the play offs, he'll end up as a summariser somewhere. Perchance because of that surname...

 

You're suggesting playing Clarke though. Going forward he's contributed far less than CD this term.

Hopefully though, Cooke or even Evans is fit and neither starts.
