[The Dug Out]

Some on here would prefer it though, winning games of football by hook or crook is the only barometer of success.
Thing is, we play in such a unique way for our level, as we get better at it, we’ll continue to progress. Whether it’s this season, next or the one after that. It’s telling that the new lad from Norwich chose us based on our style of play. The delay was due to him wanting to be reassured the gaffer would play the same style. Current players and players in the coming seasons will sign on this basis.

Not so sure that the young lad had much choice as to where he went, that would be up to the powers that govern Norwich F.C., he is their assett and he goes where they think is best, thankfully that's NCFC. When he has been here a couple of weeks he will know himself that the right choice was made for him.

It’s such a strange league - almost all of the teams in the top half have had topsy-turvy seasons. Look at MK Dons and Gillingham - both top for spells early on, then their form fell off a cliff. They replaced their managers and are now winning games again. It’s impossible right now to know if a team will finish 6th or 16th.

If we can tighten up at the back, I can still see us finishing third. Of course, we’ll have to go on a long unbeaten run with lots of wins to do that. Mansfield’s problem is drawing so many games - that’s now 12 for the season, including six at home.

Ha Ha Ha. Your traditional new year slump is well underway. I don't think you will be. I don't think we will be either.

You are right, it’s a league where any team can win games. We are as close to 3rd as we are to 16th.
Newport looked horrific when we beat them at home, but have since ended Stockports long unbeaten run and beaten Wrexham. We go there in a few weeks.
I’ve said a couple of times that we have most of the top half at home, and given our home record, I’d expect a good return of points. It’s what we do away that will determine where we end up.

Were not at our best lately and we need a boost which will come in the next seven days to call it a slump is farfetched to say the least we just need a team that plays crazy attacking football but leaves themselves open to free us up at home to re energize ourselves think that will come but who against hmmmm

It seems you have the opposite problem to us. If you give us your back line we’ll give you Morias, Randall and loan you Scott for the remainder of the season.
Win Win

I've heard Messi might be coming to the Stags. Apparently he is sick and tired of the weather in Miami and hates playing football on flat, green stuff. Added to that he feels claustrophobic playing in a stadium with four complete sides - you may take the league at a canter after he arrives Scamps.

However I won't lower myself to make the comment that he will play in his lucky number 10 jersey and would never get subbed by Mansfield as when the fans hold up two hands to bring him off - number 12 will leave the pitch. (Oh $hit I just said it).
