Mansfield thread

Very poor game the worst Mansfield side i’ve seen for a long time.
Town where shocking in the second half why can we not pass the ball more than 3 times.
And just lumping the ball in the box for Hanson very poor from Town and MJ today.

Once they went down to ten men Jolley should have brought Hansen off , although he had a decent game, and brought some pace Ono force us to play on the deck, also thought Hess's set piece deliveries were poor today.

The club had best be making a complaint about this ref now after that. We win the corner, holds play up for an injured man and then gives them a drop ball. He needs shooting for that.

My mate said he blew before the ball crossed the line so was still in play.
He was still a twit.

I was sat in the pontoon right behind the incidence and I can tell you the ball had crossed the line before he blew his whistle, even their defender was chasing the ball to prevent the corner, the referee would be better suited being employed by Billy Smart than the FA...absolute frigging, clueless clown...

Okay gobby, if it didn't cross the line, which it definitely did as the ref even waited for the ball to go out off the field of play before allowing the supposedly injured player to receive treatment, did Jolley say the referee had apologised to him for making the mistake of not giving the corner??.....

Northbank, the Ref blew up before it crossed the line as the Lino did not indicate a corner at all! It was shocking to see him do this but by Law he restated play correctly, he apologised for not waiting until the ball had left the FOP. Hopefully highlights will show what a poor decision this was, as well as letting the player to enter play whilst the game was progressing near the touch line whilst he was waiting to re enter play. All told he was totally incompetent and should be reprimanded in the Match Observers report. Let’s hope we also improve v Stevenage!

Sounds like we did not play well enough and should not hide behind refereeing incompetence

Opposing teams will try to neutralise our threats, and however foul their tactics were, Mansfield stopped Hanson and Wright playing.

We need to learn from this and expect poor officiating to continue.

The playoffs and better are still achievable if we get a bit more streetwise

we didn't deserve to lose but it happens a good old smash and grab. we have improved from last season and we could mount a play-off push in my opinion. gutting as yesterday was am still optimistic about this season.
