A great win, no doubt. A great performance? No, not for me. Yes we played ok but some of the reaction is over the top IMO
Mansfield were toothless and shocking defensively, we had a few players who performed very well but we are not the finished article
And don't you think it could have been the great performance from our lads, is the reason Mansfield were made to look toothless and shocking defensively ? come on give our team some credit.

Enjoyed that, decent game, good partisan crowd on both sides with a bit of edge. So different from Crewe and Newport where I thought we could be there all day or night without scoring. Usually enjoy the away days more but after today feeling glad I got my half seaso. UTM

I said it was a great result, it was. Just think there us much more to come. You may think that is the pinnacle, I don't, we can do much better. I guess it is about standards, pushing and pushing for perfection. It won't come overnight I accept thst

Oh sod off. Last week was rubbish - hence the criticism. This week was much better and gives us a lot of hope, but if anybody could see it before todays performance I dont believe them, unless it was based on blind optimism.
I report on what I see. At the time. Not with a crystal ball, not criticism for the sake of it but as I see things as I see it, otherwise we might as all well post after the seasons ended. Even Bignot had to apologise after last weeks non show. If he can see it, why can't you accept people have every right to voice their concerns?
We all support the team by paying for season tickets and giving a lifetime's loyalty to the club, and we will obviously voice concerns when things are not going according to plan.
Nobody's saying that a team shouldn't get criticism after a 5-0 defeat but there were idiots saying Bignot needed to be sacked, he's out of his depth, he hasn't a got a clue or a plan etc. It was way over the top and mainly came from the usual sources, who are unfailingly negative nut never post when we play well. My other point is that the fishy goes into meltdown after a defeat but is strangely quiet when we win and or play well.

Any thoughts on retracting some of the knee-jerk cr@p that you've been posting all week?
You mean my knee-jerk cr@p after the 5-0 hammering we took at Crewe. No.

Thats life isn't it? Some people err on the negative, some are downright negative, some a little positive and some are happy clappers were nothing can ever be questioned. I don't want a forum ever to be dull because we all feel we have to follow protocol. I just post when I need to get something off my chest, or am particularly interested in a particular thread. I am not at all interested in a group think of positive posts when weve won or played well. People who know me will say I err on the negative, and that will be reflected in my posting history but thats how I like it. Other posters balance it out which means the forum is a more interesting read.

I thought tactically MB won the day over Evans with not a little help from the players, defence should remain as it is for a few games now with two clean sheets after the Crew fiasco. Tom deserves his place in the team after his performance today, and the rest of the players were as described in other posts, well done all.

I don't believe criticism is necessarily negative if there's reason and it's constructive but 'sack clueless Bignot' 2 weeks after he's put a new squad together is neither of the above.
