Mansfield Matchday thread

Didn't think Clifton could get any worse.......I was wrong.

Clifton, Rodgers, Glennon and Efete have been absolutely flipping hopeless

Get Disley on!

Quoted from GtfcGarner

Unbelievable.. flipping joke of a team. Let’s just keep backing them thought because they are triers.. I can’t wait till the end of the year somehow we’ve managed to get worse than we was last year even when we was excrement on quality.

I think we are worse than last year not just based on today as we have been quite good just can't finish /convert the final ball .

I think keeper is close between Cartwright /Crocombe

But a prime Waterfall/Smith trumps Maher and Rodgers for me .

Then Taylor (I know his race was all but run + Mcatee trumps just Danny Rose doesn't it as good as I think Rose is .

Midfield is just not good enough - Conteh is an upgrade but the rest is the same / worse and boy is it showing now . We needed 1 high quality ball player or physical type at least in the summer - not sure why recruitment went so wrong .

The worrying thing is Bryn Morris , Orsi and even Kiernan were not one's I thought we should keep but in hindsight now they would be better than some we have playing .

Hurst has left us with a conference squad
Rodgers is shockingly bad we are relegation material for sure.

Where is sicknote Vernham

Positives from the first half is that we look pretty good going forward and just need that spot of good fortune.

Negatives take your pick out of either of the centre backs and all of the defensive frailties that we have. And, as much as a great player that waterfall is, he ain’t the answer!

Probably didn’t deserve to concede the second but, the stats don’t lie. Mansfield have had 18 shots with 7 on target against towns 7 and 4.

On a positive side too, great to see meatloaf coming back to life to see his home town of Mansfield play

We won't be relegated but DA certainly has his work cut out. A few changes in Jan will be enough to see us through to the summer where he can then properly stamp his authority on the team.

Amazing how conte is still escaping any critics

For felicitations sake, are you watching this. That was just excrement defending for their second, as I said it doesn't matter who we playing when we defend like that.

Yes i'm watching, can you read? I'm not debating we are excrement, the table doesn't lie but to say the whole performance has been terrible is a lie. Like I said, they are 4 years down the line of a plan with Nigel Clough. They are what we are aiming to become under Artell and there's positives to take. We've had enough chances today to score 3/4 and will get more in the second half. The patterns of play are there, the quality to finish it off isn't. They have Aden Flint and Bailey Cargill at centre half. Aden Flint who captained Sheff Wednesday to L1 promotion last season and Bailey Cargill who also won L2 with Forest Green a couple years ago. Lucas Akins up front who's spent majority of his career playing in the Champ and L1. Stephen Quinn who's spent most of his career in the championship/premier league. The difference is quality, if we had that quality going through this side we'd be level at least. It's a long term plan... not going to turn into Real Madrid over night and start beating everybody. I'm in agreement that the players are excrement, he has January to move some players on and then they'll be another overhaul of players that he doesn't think are good enough, which is majority of the squad.
