Quoted Text

We'll be uploading today's friendly - in full - to iFollow Stags tomorrow for subscribers to view.

I wonder if we will be able to watch without going through Mansfield's iFollow?

Any live text updates for this one at all?

Team up on Twitter, looks like we are going to get updates on there.

GTFC not tweeting, Mansfield make is sound like we havent had the ball

History is written by those who own the means of communication of said history :-)

Heavy rain followed by a well needed drinks break apparently. 0-0 24' mins

0-0 half-time.

Hewitt booked in a friendly!!!

Sounds competitive.  Three yellows, Waterfall, Clarke and Hewitt.

Town 1-0 up.  Doesn't say the scorer.

YES YES YES

1-0 to GTFC

Quoted from Croxton

Sounds competitive.  Three yellows, Waterfall, Clarke and Hewitt.

waterfall loves a card v stags ✔️

Sousa with the goal. Assist fron Fox.

The Portuguese Magnifico

Good win that and a clean sheet 👍😁

Played twice as many friendlies already than Hollohead

Quoted from fishcake63

Or against basically everyone. I guess with the quality of officials and what they let go in NL he'll maybe get away with roughing up some big bruiser strikers.

No cards (but 14 own goals) in the last 18 games of last season

According to Mansfield Twitter who uploaded a few pics the game took place on their training ground

Except he only played in about 4/5 out of last 18 games but still it was him alone who got us relegated

*his last 18 games of the season.

(obvs the own goals figure is a joke)

Under-18 striker Harry Milner.

It was on the Town site that the game would be played at their training ground.

By saying he wasn't booked in his last 18 games of last season I was complimenting him. Christ  ;D

Highlights up on YouTube:

https://youtu.be/BIyiSMob44M

Wright's pace is pretty impressive at 2.20

Fox looks very solid, calm and composed with a good range of passing - think he'll be an important player and that Hurst will have a headache for CM selection.

Grant's talent is clear to see - v good on the ball and calm with good awareness. Though looks slightly unfit / out of shape. If he gets into good condition will be a very good player at this level.

Sears looked solid from what little you could see - wins a good header well and looks strong.

Good positioning from souza and we'll finished. Looks an exciting player that can dribble (4.20) - but we all know this from his highlights reel.

Bring on sat.

I know its only preseason blah blah blah, but I was pretty impressed with some of that football. Lots of positives even from that short video.

Great work by Fox on the goal 👍

Quoted from Bignic69

I thought so too. It showed what we have got - solid defence, some creative midfield and players prepared to put a foot it. In fact we looked far more like a league side than they did.

But it highlights as well that we desperately need a more direct approach to goal in the area and to push the boat out to get a quality player up there to finish off all that good approach work.

Think they where trying to big themselves up a bit there  ;)

Fairly sure I can hear Doig telling someone off "When I'm on ya, I'm gonna be f***ing on ya"

Talking to Hurst?

Quoted from Teesknees

Talking to Hurst?

I doubt it was Dave Moore  ;D

I think Town looked more direct.  No pussyfooting around trying to make the perfect chance.   Let's hope they continue that.
