Mansfield Town post match thoughts

Jesus. Calm yourself down.

I think you have just proven his point no counter argument about tactics etc. Just a petty jibe.
I?m an Evans fan but it?s becoming more difficult to defend him.
I?m back for Christmas and I?m taking 3 games in first game a loss. Let?s hope it gets better.

Not really, I’m simply not willing to engage with people who clearly should be part of the Rotherham branch of RADA.

Two worked at home last week but i think it was you that said we would need 3 when away from home. Spot on. I think he would have played that yesterday if Thiei had have been fit but not to be. That?s been SEs biggest mistake - we are a player light in midfield but as we know, he didn?t want to lose Rathbone without replacing him.

Mcwilliams Powell 2 out the 3 yesterday in midfield. Humphreys in defence Odoffin returning to midfield. Another thing I'd sooner Bramall start than James at left back. McCart I prefer to Jules as well. I'd play McGuckin for Wilkes on the right up front then 2 from Green Nombe JCH.

Forget Bramall and Humphries - they’re gone and I’m fully behind that decision. I thought you always said Oddofin should be at CB?

I don’t rate McWilliams but I would have played him instead of Wilks yesterday in hindsight

Success can be judged in various forms.
For me. Any manager who has over a 40% win rate after being a manager for over 1000 games is successful. Evans is up there with some very big names and managers who are deemed to be successful

Im was meaning purely at league one level as the original comment from NWC specifically stated ?at this level?. His record in league two and non league is fantastic and can?t be denied.

I was gonna post this last night but couldnt be arsed.
Steve Evans win rate is more or less the same as he left the first time. His first spell after 172 games managed stood at 41.3.
After 29 games managed in his second spell its 41.4. That said his lost rate is much higher at 37.9 compared to 32.6 in his first spell.
Only 5 managers at the club have managed to get over the 40% win rate over the last 100 years. They are the facts.
Reg Freeman - 48.3
Ian Porterfield - 45.8
Mark Robins - 43.4
Ronnie Moore - 41.4 (second spell)
Paul Warne - 41.3 (not including caretaker)
Ive not watched as much as Id have liked this season but some of the football I have seen hasnt looked that bad.

It's a good point although different circumstances. First time around he was managing with the advantage of the NYS effect although without doubt he did an excellent job with back to back promotions and by our standards a 'comfortable' season in the Championship. He even started fairly well the following season before whatever happened behind the scenes happened and he bade us farewell. This season is the first time he's really had to manage us in adversity so we'll see how it pans out. He's never taken us down and I don't think he will this season but he won't (thankfully?) take us up either.

Coincidentally it will be 10 years next month since I saw my first ever game at NYS which was during SE's tenure. That day we lost 5-1, were played off the park and I had the 'pleasure' of being sat close to the dugouts. I saw first hand a manager/assistant ranting and raving at our players whilst on the other side a young and upcoming manager stood quietly offering encouragement and advice to his players. Yesterday in League 1 we lost 1-0 at Mansfield. Today, our opponents that day won 3-0 at Old Trafford in the PL. Oh what a difference 10 years, good management, extensive investment and severe bending of FFP rules can make.

Bending the stat rules mate to get Moore and warne on the list. Both are around 38% win rate whist incharge at rufc. Stats are pointless though as Evans is an embarrassing loudmouth dinosaur cnt (allegedly)

Most think our level is league 2 std so keep Evans for a great next season 😏
