Mansfield post match thoughts

[Derbymiller]

Derbs, your post was going oh so well until your last statement. If you can see that far into the future pal, tell me what this Friday's Euromillion numbers are. It's only worth approx 169 Million and if I won it through your help, I may look to buy the club to help out.

The point I am making by that statement Brin, is I do not think he is capable of managing at this level or the one below. He should have been removed months ago, prior to the window. i think it has been said numerous times that the only reason i can see to justify him still being the manager is financial and some strange hope that he can't be as bad a manager as he is for the whole season. We are stuck with him now and this imminent relegation should be on his CV and not on a temporary manager or anyone else daft enough to take the job before the season ends.

People who are thinking there are plenty of games left clearly are not watching the games and not looking at the facts put in front of them, it would take a miracle turn around in performances, tactical decisions and fitness levels to pull this off, it also requires 4 other teams to be worse than us.

I hope that as soon as he gets us relegated, he is removed from his job (assuming our great business leaders have been smart enough to add a relegation clause) and we can start to plan for next season in L2.

If we are relegated and Hamshaw remains in the job (which I don't think he would be) we will very likely be trawling the bottom half of the L2 table. I don't know why anyone would expect any different. Look at the 4 teams who were relegated last season, only Cambridge are doing any good. The other 3 teams, Bristol Rovers, Shrewsbury and Crawley are all firmly bottom half. Carlisle had two successive relegations and are now well and truly in the wilderness.

Putting tactics and decision making aside, look at the injuries we've had this season. Hamshaw and his coaching staff can't be trusted to keep players fit. And if he stays, I don't think he could be trusted to even keep us in the football league never mind deliver a top half finish.

The injury situation isn't going to improve, it's here to stay whilst we have the current management team.

If we go down, we'll "cut our cloth" and bring in cheaper players, that's almost a given. We also become something of a cup final to some teams because we're in a bigger-than-most stadium, and have played in the second tier recently. It won't be easy because of this.

However, we become a more attractive proposition to a lot of players at that level, and the right early signings could snowball if others see a chance to win games and go up. I genuinely think L2 will mean almost anything could happen... apart from REALLY struggling.

The first challenge is to replace a lot of players who have featured this season:

Can't set up the same at Huddersfield 2 up front 3-5-2:

Cann
Rafferty Baptist ?
Cover Gore Benson Powell James
Nombe Gray

Has any report said actually powell could be fit?

A bit more on Powell, Watmore and Adegboyega. Doesn't read as very uplifting news.

Thanks. You never know when he will have news to read, fresh not rehashed old.

I think we can all see that weakened teams we have to put out, half fit players, players thrust back in probably too early were goung to keep on happening. High octane players like gore are likely to be put in harms way too often. Just the way it goes.

I for one are just keeping my fingers crossed, above all else I do not want to be watching L2 football.

D1 status is important, irrespective of anyone at the club.

Hamshaw his arrogance keeping with the same that's not working will cost us. Gray & Martha aren't wide players. He won't get Ayres back if he could cause of that. If your playing a front 3 play J Holmes on the right. Watmore he's got to be managed not playing 2 games in a week, can't play a full game.

You are talking of the best options, when we do not have them.
