Mansfield Town v Exeter City match day thread.

Very tricky fixture. Live in hope as always. UTC

Big game - a win will move us temporarily up to 2nd and, with Northampton and Tranmere playing each other tomorrow, assure us of 3rd at the end of the weekend (barring Sutton beating Rochdale by least 5). A defeat could see us tumble down to 8th. COYR!

Two in form teams, would be happy with a point on the road tonight. Swindon trek up to Yorkshire tomorrow before heading south to SJP on Tuesday, and with less travelling and an extra day's recovery, hoping it'll pay dividends for us. Important few days ahead, geddon City.

Still don't get this obsession with current league position, it only matters on the last day. Currently, taking unplayed matches into consideration we are second in my mind. Just got to on picking up points. A draw would suit me tonight, we'd still have promotion in our own hands. Think we'll win though!

Nervous but excited about tonight. Curry followed by football, not many better Friday nights to be had.

Triple vindaloo fred ?

Maybe it's a hangover from 2019/20 - when it was proved that the league can finish at a moment's notice (I know we would be second at the moment anyway on PPG)

Any particular reason why this game is Friday night?

Mansfield asked for the date to be changed.

Not sure about this game. Having Brown out stunts our attack somewhat, hopefully Jay or Coley can step up and play that creative role.

I'd like to see Jay break his drought today and have him firing home again until the end of the season.

Stags supporters seem confident about winning tonight, although most feel it will be tight, they are hoping the large crowd will pull them through.

Hopefully we can carry out our own blitzkrieg like we did to Brizzle Rovers at SJP (twice), that should silence them. Do however feel game could go either way will be interesting to see the starting line ups and hear whether their regular centre backs aren't playiing, could give good opportunity for the likes of Phillips Nombe Coley and Jay if so.
