That was no foul, Bostock and Cameron need to man up, you can’t rely on the ref every time

Embarrassing criticising a player not even on the pitch

Don’t criticise the defence, they won promotion last year 😂🤦*♂️

In all seriousness, Mansfield are just much better than us. Tactically they had our pants down and did everything that exposes are very clear weaknesses. Let’s not kid ourselves, that result has been coming for a few weeks….I even predicted a 1-3 loss, so not far off.

Feels bad tonight obviously but there’s no need to panic. It is about levels. We’ve come up a division and have, on the whole, acquitted ourselves very well.….and now we can clearly see what level we have to be at to go up another level to push for promotion from this level.

It’s clear where our weaknesses are, let’s see what the club do about it…..but it will take time. Let’s take a minute to remember where we were this time last year before berating the players and manager eh.

Edit: we didn’t win the league 😂

Stags perspective. Obviously I'm delighted with the win and the way we tactically imposed ourselves on Notts today, but I wouldn't be too downhearted if I were you.

There are positives there in the way you get it wide and run at fullbacks. It didn't happen today, but against most teams (as you've already seen) it will work. Goalkeeper is a worry. Not sure why Stone isn't in. He's a solid keeper from my memory of him at Stags. I think your manager was naive today and didn't have an answer to our strategy, but you'll be just fine over a season.

Not really, we see it week in week out when he plays, issues like this need addressing otherwise you don’t improve, it’s obvious to most that Cameron is the main culprit of this behaviour.

Very sensible post. A woman on my bus was just calling for the manager's head. You've got the right attitude. We've been in this league 10 years and not gone up. You've started brilliantly and if the right corrections are made over the season, there's no reason you shouldn't be up there.

Gillingham fall behind at Walsall.

Wrexham 0-2 down at home to lowly Salford!

Very fair and accurate interview from LW.

No BS which I am glad to hear.
