Just Back.

thought ref was alright at first but ultimately ruined the game, not blaming Slade for the sub's Matt would have been sent off otherwise, just shows we need better firepower of the bench. Didn't play dreadful either, onto the next game onwards and upwards

Refs decision to book matt for absolutely intercourse all ruined the game, his decision to not give a pen at the end was a disgrace considering his decision to blow at every slight tug and nudge anywhere. He bottled sending off the RB in the 1st half and he cost us 3 points as our subs just offered nothing but i dont blame slade as he had to make them.

Another striker and a LB in the transfer window I reckon.

I thought we sat a bit too deep after scoring early on.

We faded a bit towards the end and our substitutions made no impact at all.

Killip looked a little naive at times although he pulled off a couple of good saves.

Dembele and Matt our best 2 players today for me.

Dembele was hopeless until the last 15 minutes when he started finding some space to attack and stopped giving the ball away endlessly. Before that he'd been really poor - though not as anonymous as Woolford.

Terrible referee, but we didn't do enough to win overall. Might have been different if Jones hadn't completely butchered a chance to send Summerfield clean through on goal near the end of the first half. Lots of bad decision-making all round at times today.

Crazy how differently people can see a game. Thought it was Dembele’s best game for Town today.

When will Clarke start getting some praise? First month aside - he has been outstanding and was a rock today.

We’re a striker away from being play off contenders - Matt either needs a on-it Jones or someone to run in behind for him.

The difference in confidence between Killip and another young goalkeeper in Henderson was stark. Couple of saves but looked like he was shitting himself. Could see Evans told them to get at him second half

I too thought Dembele was as excellent as Woolford was shite. By the time Vernon and Hooper came on, we were nearly playing with eight men.

ultimately a game of two benches.......ours made no impact at all....theirs won a share of the spoils. Ref ended our chances with his ridiculous harrassment of Matt leaving no option to take him off, with Macca going off early that only left Russell one sub of choice to make.

Scrappy but open game...little quality in the final third from either side.  Evans has the squad at his disposal to change things around we dont, needs addressing in January....  is it 30 (?) in the first team squad and out of the 11 that started today Woolford didnt do anything for me and certainly cant offer any impact as a sub so we must have around 15 players that just arent upto (or are judged such by the management team)  the matchday squad standard at all.
What a waste of wages, clear them out and get in the 2 or 3 first team standard players we need to kick on.

Cant fault the effort today at all, just ultmately strength in depth let us down.

Played well but have little quality on the bench. Ref missed a handball for their goal, bottled sending off their right back and didn't give us a nailed on pen. Thought his treatment of Matt was totally shocking, giving free kicks any time he made a challenge.

A decent start for us and generally contained them well first half, goal apart few clear-cut chances. Second half was a different story, we had a couple of chances particularly when Matt swiveled laying the ball off to Rose who was unlucky not to score. However the last half hour belonged to Mansfield, who had alot of possession and created several good half chances, and a goal from them always looked likely. Matt had to be taken off like others said, otherwise he would have been sent off. McKeown's injury limited the subs, but i'm still surprised Woolford managed to stay on the pitch as long as he did, as he offered absolutely nothing. Not at our best today, but once again the central defenders deserve praise, and on reflection we've got to be happy with a point, as Mansfield edged it. Hopefully Jamie Osborne will be back for the weekend, and desperately need a goalscorer if we're to challenge the play-offs....UTM
