    Stags have been busy

    Mansfield Town manager David Flitcroft has made a treble swoop with the loan signing of Nottingham Forest striker Tyler Walker along with permanent additions of attacking midfielder Otis Khan and experienced striker Craig Davies from Yeovil Town and Oldham Athletic, respectively.

    Got to be honest, none have pulled up any trees? Walker might be ok but I'd wager Bennett is a better option. Khan has a bit of a screw loose it seems and Davies has never scored double figures from.what I can see?

    Davies scored 13 goals for relegated Oldham last season and 23 for Chesterfield in their promotion year

    Bennett is a crock, with the legs of a 90 year old. Don't doubt his talent, but polishing a treatment table doesn't contribute.
    Give me Walker any day in that division.

    I remember a Stags fan (was it Stagsmanstan?) coming on here about this time last year and telling us how pleased he was with the quality of their signings compared to ours. Impressive signings are only half the battle, getting them to play as a team is the other half. It's hard to say which club has the better squad, but I'd rather have Nolan responsible for organising and motivating them than Flitcroft.

    Hello Friends!

    Lots has happened since i last come on here. Last season was fantastic. Chesterfield have gone. Hopefully never tp return. Im sure you understand.

    Last season was a total waste due to the fat trainwreck leaving us high and dry. Flitcroft really failed but i believe he can do a job with what hes got. Evans was a scattergun wheeler-dealer, never had a settled side and his tactics were questionable. However, we did create a lot of chances but we relied so heavily on rose and hemmings with the midfield barely contributing.

    On Hemmings. You've got yourself an industrious hard-working CF who links play very well, but never looked comfortable im front of goal. He got 15 or so last season for us but this was criminally low if you look at what he missed/wasted. If he was better we wouldnt have missed the playoffs such was the magnitude of some of his misses.

    Im very happy we have Neal Bishop. Old head who can manage out games if his 36 year old legs haven't gone.

    Kahn walker and davies all look to strengthen us when compared to who left us in may.

    Elite pie is right. Its 50% squad and 50% management. Im much happier this season from what i now know of evans. Id say that last season we had a better squad but you had a better manager. A team is more than the sum of its part which evans doesnt get. We know that now and i think nolan always knew that. This seasons all to play for again.

    Didn't Danny Rose missed chances, meant you missed out on play offs, or did he score with every shot. Hang on he only scored 14 for the season.

    Just had another look, he has had 1 good season, all other seasons he's struggled to get double figures, not a great return for a forward is it really?
