Peck really isn't a scapegoat. A few imbeciles on here doesn't represent the majority of our fanbase.

Fair comment. I should have clarified that !

 

[BazWainwright]

Like the FA cup game last season ?

Doesn't even give me the choice now!

Strange, let me have a look and see if I can work out what it's doing.

 

[nickwr37]

Worked ok for me just now

Did you get part way through rating some of them before this happened?

Got to the end and it said I couldn't submit the marks.

"Not Much Matches Mansfield" (for all the older beer drinkers on here).

I thought Chong was lively and put in a great cross before injury, I hope he is ok and coming off the pitch was just a precaution.

We played some good stuff at times. McGuinness took his goal well, proper header that was.

Nice to see big Ryan come on as well, the lad is equal in size to most defenders, a real hand full.

Coops only really had one save to make, but it was a good one, great reaction speed for that.

Let's hope this lifts the mood in the camp and carries on into the opening game against Brum.

UTB.

Incredible.
Plus we're (presumably) starting with a formation we haven't played all pre-season

And yet we take a 3 nil win! What's your problem?

Oi! We'll not have any of that positivity stuff around here.

Mansfield used to do a stronger ale called Old Bailey, which was yummy. About 6%ish from memory. You could get it in that boozer opposite Central Library as I recall. Going back 30-35 years though.

I think it probably shows that for the majority of this season we will be playing 1 up top... Either that or it really was a shop window opportunity for Cannon (plus McGuiness and RND)

Career in media beckoning for big Pat

Once he's got over having the new baby ...
He looked knackered yesterday , couldn't do owt right apart from deflect that first goal

Not for foulness it didn't, though Webster's and Shipstones came close!

Websters is probably the worst beer I can recall from a lifetime of drinking.

Look at the size of the head on that pint!, reminds me of Whitbreads Trophy Bitter.

Other than Queens Ale and Barley Wine most Whitbread products were shite.

Ah! Original strength Gold Label. Mmmmmm

Castle Eden was the dog's, Durham Ale was OK.

This game really showed that they are going to finish 10th in league 1 and we will finish 13-10th in championship!

 

[The Hobott]

Just watching it back. Rothwell finishing is woeful but he's definitely popping up in the right positions.
