⚽ Match Thread vs. Mansfield Town FC 14.10.23 [EFL L2]

Embarrassing criticising a player not even on the pitch

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.

Don’t criticise the defence, they won the league 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.

Great post

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.

Why do we never turn up against Mansfield?

I honestly thought we followed on from where we left off at Barrow. We looked lethargic, slow, weak and didn't want to battle. We were always trying to slow it down, when we needed to up the tempo. As good as I thought they were, I also think they won't get an easier 3pts this season. Not enough energy or desire, too pedestrian and not enough urgency.

I'm really annoyed by that performance.

Let’s face it, Mansfield are a long established decent side at this level. They’re not that easy on the eye at times but they are effective. They stopped us playing whilst their defence was outstanding and they have elements that we should aspire to. I love our style of play, win or lose, so wouldn’t want to change that but we are lacking a bit of physicality and height. In Luke we trust, though…

[Elite_Pie]

That was hard to take, we weren't just outplayed but outfought as well and the scoreline actually flattered us. It's only one game though, and we usually save our worst performance of the season for when we play them. If they really are that much better than us, they will go up as Champions.
