Mansfield thread

Pretty much same as last season. Cant score. Give away soft goals. Macca pulls off a few great saves to keep the score down.

Not good enough. Last season we had the benefit of a huge points cushion at Christmas that basically saved our skin. That is not happening this year.

I want MJ to succeed, but I honest now think he is not up to it.

Pringle was decent, won the ball in midfield a lot more than anyone else on the pitch, Thomas feeding off scraps again, Macca outstanding, Woiolford might as well have not been in the squad still, poor RHJ made to look useless,
Interesting comparisns with the teams, If Mansfield picked up a lose ball in their own half it was either run or pass straight forward and momentum continues, we get it in the same situation we hold  spin around twice look to do a crab action then hope that a punt up to somones head against 3 big centre halves will do it.
When a Stags player receives ball to feet edge of the box Collins steps back 3 paces so they have time to hold it up, when it goes up to Thomas they are all over him sticking there foot around trying to unbalance him.
I am getting so frustrated watching this negative rubbish week in week out.

Quickly losing interest in this mediocre shower.
Let's hope the January transfer window brings us a couple of gems. Don't hold your breath though.
Bogle on loan might be a good starter.

Is it fitness (it shouldn't be)? Is it lack of concentration? Is it that MJ is not as tactically astute as other managers? Or is it just that we are sh1te as to why we can't keep going for 90 mins. If we get in the lead, we usually can't maintain it. If we go behind, we can't get back in the game.

Yet another p1ss poor season grinds inexorably on into nothingness. We will be knocked out of the cup and the only thing to play for will be our league status, which i wouldn't be surprised if we relinquish. Fook going on Saturday. I'll be off into the Dales doing something enjoyable.

Never thought i would lose interest in Town, but the time has come for me.

It's the same old story every game,

If Jolley can not find 2 or 3 gems come January he will be gone by February

We never have decent possession
Therefore never have sustained pressure
Therefor never create anything
Therefore never score many

Frustrating and getting more and more hacked off

Cash must be splashed in Jan - otherwise we are in big trouble

Jolly still not learning. Anybody could see that our right back was not getting any support from our right midfield. He did nothing whatsoever to remedy this. He plays Pringle who couldn't run 100 yds in 10 minutes in the first half and in the second half couldn't run 10 yards in 100 minutes. If not fit by now he never will be. No pace throughout the team,can't get back when attacks break down.High balls down the middle against the biggest defence in the division,no balls through the channels and no meaningful instructions from the touchline. If it wasn't for Macca it would have been a cricket score. Sorry to say we are getting no better. Is it fitness or are we just shite ? We have got to spend in January or we are gone.

Simples
In this league you have to be physical which they were to a man and big
We are small not very physical not very astute
Who's gonna win?

If we lose on Saturday that will be 10 defeats in 14 games,

Not good enough.

Bloke on RH just said 'no passion'
Bollox
Why is this always the angry fan's default outburst?

We have 'no' creativity, guile, craft, clever players

Passion is a given and I see that each game

What I don't see is the above things mentioned
