Hopefully those that slate Cameron will realise what a miss he was today.

yep, we couldn't get out down the left hand side without Cameron and Jones.

Mansfield did their homework and we struggled to transition the ball through the lines

We were embarrassingly bad, it's the first match I've watched on TV, normally just listen, and the defending was absolutely dire. Have we been that hapless - and just lucky - previously?

We usually rely on the opposition missing one or two good chances and being better in attack than we were today. But yes, we concede a lot of sloppy goals.

Watching that today it's the first time this season I'm starting to think we might not get promotion this season.

I'm not particularly bothered about promo THIS season. As long as we don't trouble the drop zone and take note of where we need to improve. In fact matches like today may well do us a favour by pointing out where we DESPERATELY need to improve.

David Jackson just now on RN asking Stall if that result was damaging and do Notts need to re-think what they do.
Stall saying we need to do it better.

Well if you could of dreamed up a more nightmare result I don't think it was possible, pretty pathetic performance today with the odd bright spot... if it were anyone but Mansfield it would be a little easier to take, LW has serious work to do judging by that shambles 🤔 😳

If offered 7th before today, I think many would have had to think about it, hoping we could grab 3rd. After that result, I imagine most would snatch 7th in a heart beat now.

I thought LW sounded a bit shell shocked. He's expressed his displeasure after we've won games but today he just seemed to accept they were a much better side and that we don't have the experience of playing against teams at that level to know how to deal with it.

We did turn Swindon over, though they haven't been anything better than average away so far.

Average goals against per game is now 1.92, which is identical to Wrexham.

There shouldnt have been a minutes silence in the first place its sport not politics and the israel palestine problem is too complex for most of us to comprehend

A minutes silence was respect for innocent people killed on both sides of a complex conflict - it was not political.

A combo of both. Tactically they were miles better than us. Forced us to go long, to dwarves.
I dont think Cargill and Flint will have easier days than today… we have them practice and then let them have a free header from corners.

It was a good delivery but why has Slocombe not come for it? Only going off memory but looked quite a floated ball and didn't notice and particular pressure on him.
