A shame we had that blip (looks like my retirement investment funds over the past 3 yrs).
So it seems that to take top spot we need about 2.5pts/game which is Win3 Draw1 every 4 games. Not going to happen.
But to get 3rd spot we need about 2.2pts/game, 11 points for every 5 games.
We really need a 10 game winning streak and beat the teams above us when we meet I think to get into automatics.
I suppose 2023 turned out alright in the end?
Mansfield stats dashboard . . .
A game of two halves . . . kind of.
Our form is currently crap. That's all you need to know.
Season stats updated . . .
I’m slightly surprised our XG was so high in the first half and so low in the second half given that big Jones chance, but it does highlight how little we created in the second half for the second week running.
In fact, we generally seem to score the vast majority of our goals in the first 60 minutes (or at least that’s my sense of things).
