    But he only sees it once...in real time. I bet on any neutral forum they would be saying NO PEN and want Power booking for hitting it too hard at him!!

    Unfortunately Alexander sees it differently and once again Humphry's has shown little first half, once again making poor choices when in a good position to play the ball across the box.

    Completely agree, there is very little.between the majority of teams in this division. Crazy as it is this result as it stands we still have second place in our hands.

    Mansfield's passing has put us to shame today.

    Great one touch passing in and around the box and in midfield.

    We've been aimless and mostly in the air to players who haven't got the physique to hold the ball up.

    Terrible tactics from Alexander.

    Even the Sunderland fans think it was a penalty.

    I sincerely hope not, Metcalfe has been our best player recently, he's the only player I trust with the ball at his feet to not just aimlessly lump it upfield, he's arguably too technically good for this team which might be his downfall

    Kavanagh is not a link up player. He's a forward.

    Laplie is the player that should have come in on that side. At least he would have been connecting better with Humphrys and the wing backs.

    Not Kavanagh's fault. He's not a wide forward.

    Sky commentator good point....Long ball, no cook.

    Amazed that we have seemingly knocked ourselves back by in effect losing at least 2 players during the busy December period because they are going in January

    Graham being stubborn?...again

    This second half is not a surprise.

    Mansfield pinning us in with good passing around while we try and hoof it into the wind and get nowhere.

    He obviously thinks there's a good chance of getting back into it which is just bizarre.

    Get one of those three lumps at the back off for a forrad.
