Agreed - just as good an attacking opportunity as a corner when up field and no offsides either. David Wheeler was the last player I can remember exploiting this. Often see the ball received by a player at either the wrong height for them or on their less favoured foot - puzzling.
Just imagine if Jordan Storey had stuck it in the net at the end! I think that might have been his first touch, intelligent play in getting behind the defender.
I thought the referee was pretty good and consistant with his cards. In the second half a Mansfield player kicked the ball into the crowd when the whistle for offside was totally audible. He was good on making players take throw-ins and free kicks from the right spot too. I have no idea what Evans complaint was when at the end when he totally ignored Tisdale, and went as fast as he could (not very fast!) to the referee in order to do some finger wagging and verbal. Any idea what his problem was chums?
Probably nothing more than we'd nicked a draw!
I think Mansfield are being denied a certain amount of credit for their goal Ian. I dont know how us losing the ball from a throw in, well inside our own half can be put forward as any factor towards their goal; they still had a hell of a lot to do from that point on. It was a quality goal, and I cant see how any members of our defence could have done any better to prevent it. Pym never had an earthly when that final pass was threaded through. Just my point of view.
