Maybe a cheeky bid for Oats in this window? First time I've seen him play and looks a real talent

Never mind him, who’s this Reed lad

He's shite usually. Just like some players who raise their gsme but cannot do it every week

 

[BangorBlade]

Ffs !

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Ings and Campbell like a couple of subbuteo players

 

[Wetwang blade]

Who's supposed to be picking up Reed? Good goal though.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

How many times do we not mark players on edge of our box from corners. ? Both goals came from that flicked onto player sat on D

 

[Champagneblade]

Oh dear.

Good controlled hit by little Louis.

Took a deflection.

But fair play.

United not enough urgency and plenty of faffing about and passes to nowhere.

 

[toledo]

Mmmmmm interesting game …. Give Mansfield loads of credit, the have come to win…

Good challenge for us today..

Blaster overhead kicked it in! Deflection is being kind!

He’s crap but he’s above 6ft and can jump so naturally our defenders make him look like Drogba.

 

[Thrice]

It's probably safe to say that Tanganga and Riedewald are absolutely irreplaceable in this team.

 

[Champagneblade]

Get that Mansfield Town shirt and hang it next to the Wrexham and West Brom ones at this rate.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

I read about teams not getting out of 1st gear. Well we need to step up some gears , 1st gear not good enough

 

[54yrblade]

Not sure what anyone saw in Ings to sign him and Campbell isn't much better either

I'm actually enjoying the game but we need to wake up sharpish. Another Stags goal and hugely uncertain we've the bottle to come back

 

[raimond]

Did the 2.30 kick-off catch you out? You really are the saddest act on here, and that is quite a high bar these days.

Competitive field innit

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Prime Drogba at that

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Needs Tom Davies in the middle, anyone but Ings up top and basic marking from corners

 

[Blades1971]

Not picking up once is a mistake. Twice you get at U10 level

 

[Houston_Blade]

Needs Tom Davies in the middle, anyone but Ings up top and basic marking from corners

We’ll be saving his 20 minutes of fitness for a league game before he has another 3 months off.

I tell you exactly what we saw in Ings.

Blind panic after we’d sold Moore then failed to get McBurnie and realised we had no striker up front!

I’d say they bought him on name rather than extensive recent scouting.

It wouldn’t be the worst thing if he went to MLS or somewhere like that and we got another player in.

 

[Weasel]

If we had any sort of common sense as a side, and did the basics of marking right, we are winning this game. How many times have we left their players unmarked at the edge of the area when thry have a corner. They dont feckin learn. Thick.

 

[Darkoak]

Louis Reed.
Two goals in his previous 100 games for Mansfield.
Two goals in the first half today…

Not to pile on Chong, but at the corner he was marking no one and was closest to Reed. Maybe a word in his ear , if you're not going to mark anyone in the box, mark someone outside the box. MAYBE

 

[Jan Age]

Two thunder bolts from Mansfield to be fair

Despite wilder saying he wants a good run the selection suggests otherwise and the first half shows why urgent renforcements are needed this window.

If seriously wants to win this he needs to bring on the serious players

 

[Steve.C]

Ings career is over. Excellent one at that, but unfortunately legs have gone.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Who's supposed to be picking up Reed? Good goal though.

Some are beginning to see the light about him.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Yup

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Some really poor play from some today, to many tbh, as strong as people say we are today it shows a lot just not upto the job, but I suppose most teams can say the same.
Just show a bit of urgency, move the ball quicker ffs

I know there’s a theme not to pick on him but him losing possession started the move for the first goal and then he didn’t close down on Reed’s shot. Then he failed to do the same for the second. He needs to pull his finger out second half.

He’s not playing for Man U anymore. He’s playing for a team with standards!
