To the car

That was shockingly poor. From minute 1-95 we were outfought, outthought and played off the park

They overloaded in midfield and the wings and for some reason Hurst didnt combat it so time and time again we were torn to shreds.

Vernam and Glennon down the left looked like amateurs, Glennon is targeted and there were cheers when he was finally withdrawn- bizarrely for Michee.

Cartwright at fault for the pen obviously but did make some decent saves, kid you not, 6-0 wouldnt have flattered Mansfield.

Green runs around fouling to shouts of Greeny from our support but he is not good enough and i stand by that. Offers nothing.

Rose is isolated, we brought pyke on and he was through on goal and elected to pass and that just about summed up a horrible evening

Dissapointed in town support singing “ we’re flipping excrement”. Not needed.

Some will say its only the cup, there were changes etc, doesnt matter, you shouldnt get as overrun as we did tonight. It was shambolic. Very very dissapointed

If we kept what by many accounts could have been double figures to a pen and one other someone at the back must have had a decent game . Anybody offer any positives in that?

Bad finishing and a couple of decent saves.

Yes I can. Rogers is a class act and if he carries on like he's done for the first two games he'll become a huge asset.
Sadly it was as much their ineptitude in front of goal as our defensive steadiness that meant the score was kept to two.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I didn’t tune in but clicked into the BBC stats to see Mansfield were at 85% possession after 11 minutes and immediately thought that was a bad omen. Sounds like it was a woeful match.

Goes to show a team is only as strong as the weakest player. It doesnt matter whether you have 2 or 3 assets in the team.......its the behind-holes that let the team down

He played on through two knocks too. Hagrid and Barralad are spot on.  Could have been 6-0.

Lethargic, hesitant, powderpuff and a poor set up. Danny Rose expected to do far too much on his own.

Excellent steak pie at The Railway though.

League cup, used it as an opportunity to change half the team and give fringe players a chance to impress, and get minutes into the legs of Gnahoua. Which I was fine with tbh  Mansfield went full strength.

Didn’t work. Ah well. Our season won’t be defined by a league cup game a few days after the season has started.

Just hope we can keep our best players fully fit, get Khan and Wilson back soon and start to gel. Starting at Notts back in tbe league.
