Re: Last Nights Match

That's you opinion of course..but stop trying to derail this thread.. Its about last nights match.

I think you'll find it's about Ribeiro's 'op' now!

We are only 10th in the league and really need to win at home on Saturday, we have a very difficult away game at Morcambe after that.

I see the Morecambe as more winnable to be honest but I would be happy with a minimum of two points from these two fixtures. Those would be decent results.

Yes,puzzling, because they were sixth...

(I wonder when the last time was we won successive away games against sides in the top six)

Mansfield's wins, as pointed out by Exeweb's excellent match preview, have come exclusively against sides struggling at the bottom.

Can't argue with much of that.

I thought Exeter were a very good side who simply outplayed us. If I were a betting man I'd have a tenner on them for automatic promotion. Remember they beat the leaders on Saturday so that performance was probably not a one off

Sad to see the return to lump it forward in the air as that was never going to work. We have to start with Green and Yussuf on Saturday as we looked slightly better when they were together with each getting a bit more room.

Just a couple of posts on the Stags forum.

They're the type of team we find it difficult to beat at home though aren't they?

Re: Last Nights Match

First heard about this op last week, but since then he has played 170 minutes inside 4 days, so not quite sure what to make of it.

What an excellent thoughtful well written match report.

(I quite liked the content too!(

How good is the build up from the back for Grant's goal.

Re: Last Nights Match

Hopefully, the last two results will be the springboard to a good run. It just shows the quality is there if it can be harnessed.

Thanks for your kind comments about my match report guys.

Very impressed with your side, particularly Ribeiro, Noble and Grant. I have to say though we were completely awful, but it was down to the tactics of your side, your players just seemed to want it more.

Hats off to any of you who made the journey down on a Tuesday night!

Best of luck for the remainder of the season!
