Exactly. It’s always the same 5 or 6 miserable, unrealistic babbling nitwits peddling the same old unhinged, entitled dross. Stop bothering and find something worthwhile in life.

Bloody hell calm down . It’s just my opinion, it shouldn’t cause offence should it ? I’m probably wrong but I’m entitled to be mardy after watching a team play exactly how I want us to play . 2 years 3 years ? Hopefully we’ll get there

4pts from two difficult opponents in a few days. Unbeaten at home. Relatively speaking we’ve had a solid start looking at the table as a whole. Nice to have a player who’ll have a peek at where the goal is and lash one at it for the first time in a while.

You can see that Mansfield will be up there at the end of the season even with players missing but we did make it easy for them at times. Particularly just before when Pyke was introduced - they played the same ball over the top from right back and beat our slow back line fairly comfortably. Being able to sub Rhys Oates - who has a fairly decent goal record since leaving us - shows their depth. Aden Flint is what an AI generator would draw as a 2020s footballer.

It’s a good point that’ll seem better in April and it’s worth remembering that easier games will come (in a couple of months time!).

Do you think I like it?

I'd love to see us play like that, and hopefully we will one day, but it takes time.

I can remember us beating Mansfield 7-1 in non league, but now we are both established League 2 clubs. Just they are a bit more established then we are.

They are consistently well financed by the Radfords .

I'm not sure what some people want - I get Hursts style is not always easy on the eye but it gets results against more well stocked teams .

I mean if we played Notts & Mansfield at their own games and got pumped 5 or 6 but scored a couple would the moaners be happy because we put on a good show ?

It hasn’t caused offence

There we are….a bit of balance; rational, pragmatic, realistic…..

Even with last seasons money, the Mansfield budget is still probably a good chunk larger than ours. Flint is probably on close to 5 figures a week. It's a great point against a team I expect to go up automatically.
