    Rowe looks like he has been scoring for fun, which he has been, such a confident finish.

    Keep him here till his legs fall off!

    Think it showed at Exeter and Walsall to mind, that when you get at us, we are at our weakest. If a team sits off, trying to be compact, I feel we have the ability to break teams down.
    When we are got at, especially down the sides, we look a touch nervy and vulnerable

    Our passing let’s us down. Give it away far too often

    Oh and credit to Mansfield who are playing some good stuff here. Movement between the lines is impressive

    Plus what they are doing is matching us up man for man when we have the ball rather than marking space like other teams do so when one of our players has the ball the opposition player rushes to them.

    What we need is more composure on the ball and trust in the passing. We'll create chances if they keep pressing and we'll pass through them.

    Andy said Rowe’s goal was a bicycle kick. I think Rooney and Trevor Sinclair would beg to differ :)

    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.

    I think I called this the other day. Everyone’s now playing us just as Orient did. Isolate our front man by stifling the middle. Mansfield copying it to a t.

    We've struggled with their press. They've done it very well and they're a physical side too. They've also been better in possession than us.

    Its a tough HT team talk really. We're 1-0 up but we've been poor. The whole side needs to be 10 yards further up the pitch.

    Orient came for a point. Mansfield have been on the front foot from the start.

    Poor half despite the goal. Too pedestrian especially in the first 20 mins. Sloppy in possession. Too many passes going astray.
    That said we got more into the game in the last 20 mins and their defence looks very shaky.

    Plenty for T and S to discuss with them in the dressing room. Firstly get on the front foot more and anticipate. Also get your passing better.
