Mansfield worst visiting team since we turned professional?

My god they were awful and I would be amazed if they don't finish bottom. It's not sour grapes because they got a couple of lucky goals and put bodies on the line so desereved their win but they lacked any sort of footballing ability and I don't believe they had a single player who looked league standard.

Bad defending for both goals, gave them something to hold on to, them & Stockport when they went out of the FL are the 2 worst teams I've seen at WR.

They had players willing to work hard and graft for their wages, though. I wish *we* had a few like that...

I thought the effort was their from our lads today, my only gripe was the tactics i.e. hoofing it when playing on the ground was causing them so many problems.

Malabus · 29 Dec 2013, 18:29

Yes they were bad. But we couldn't deal with them.

RED ROB · 29 Dec 2013, 20:41

YES robin, agree yet again.
Good luck to their fans watching that tripe week after week.
Don't say this often but I hope they go back from where they came from and LOWER.

Their fans hate it just as much from what I've read, but as long as they stay up they'll be happy

Jebolani · 29 Dec 2013, 20:48

Ugh, I'd never wish for a team to get relegated but they'd be top of my list.

RED ROB · 29 Dec 2013, 20:52

yep agree with that jeb, their physio's a sneaky little **** too.
Why the ref stopped the game when Read went down is beyond me.
Horrible club.

Jebolani · 29 Dec 2013, 20:58

Haha, what was the physio doing trying to goade us?! Looked like a clown in those tights too!...

Nesty · 29 Dec 2013, 22:07

we were let down though by a weak ref

Jebolani · 29 Dec 2013, 22:10

He wasn't great but he didn't impact too much imo

Vanky · 29 Dec 2013, 22:16

The fact that their number 13 earns money to be a footballer will keep me amused all through the dark days of winter.

Malabus · 29 Dec 2013, 22:18

Thought Daniel that came on at H/T was their brightest player.

CTFC03 · 29 Dec 2013, 23:12

I am surprised how weak some of these referees, if you get your cards out then the player knows he can't do anything more or has to leave the pitch!!!

Some of the deliberate belters into the car park and over the In2P were a disgrace. And after they had belted all the yellow balls out the ground they had the nerve to waste time complaining about being given a white ball. An embarrassment to football.

Referee had obviously misplaced his cards. I think the zip on his pocket was stuck and only came unstuck in the 70th minute.

Ref was abysmal. Certainly didn't cost us the game, but he was so weak. Would much rather. It make a decision. Some of the time wasting and the first half tackle on McGlashan (I think) when he was breaking were obvious to anybody who had watched a game before. The shortage of refs in this country shows and you get left with feeble, scared little men.

they all like being the centre of attention, probably get off on being boooed and called a someone that will go blind if they keep that up....
