[WestYorksBlade]

Wtf were we doing for that last thirty minutes

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Outstanding effort from Burrows and Seriki to not once make a yard on their L1 opposite numbers

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Wow, what a shock.

Not.

I'm still not sure exactly how Wilder conspires to lose these cup games but it's definitely intentional.

Wtf were we doing for that last thirty minutes

Trying not to score?

 

[Champagneblade]

Amazing lack of chances created in the last 30 minutes, chasing the game

They’ve been poor subs in midfield.

Soumaré was very involved and Davies was well out of touch when he came on. Arblaster miles off it. Soumaré should have stayed on with Arblaster off if we wanted to win it instead of using it as a training match.

Congrats to Mansfield. Gave it a good go.

Get that Mansfield shirt hung up.

But hang it in the Manager’s office rather than the dressing room.

4 conceded at home is abysmal. Should never even happen in the top flight.

Chong was garbage. Mee looked dreadful. Apart from a couple of expected saves, Davies never looked like offering any sort of barrier. Seriki is miles better than Hoever on first showing. McGuinness has the turning circle of an oil tanker. Campbell and Ings were both anonymous. Burrows poor as well. Need to have a long hard look at themselves.

Definitely. As soon as we got the third he changed it to kill momentum.

 

[Jan Age]

FA Cup it happens and credit to Mansfield for doing a job on us.

This just serves as a reminder to all … Wilder is not the long term answer and this football club is a complete mess right now.

Any change to the starting 11 and it’s noticeable drop off in performance and mindset.

Fully expect wilder to come out and defend it all as usual.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Well not really shocked by that...well done Mansfield.

 

[Notts Blade 123]

I'd consider getting Campbell out the door, he doesn't look interested. I can see what happened at Stoke now seems to be replicating it here.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Absolutely fucki.g disgraceful performance.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Some of the players there should be nowhere near the 1st team for league games.
Their CBs probably had their easiest game of the season against Campbell and Ings.
Mcguniess and Mee got the run around by an Aldi Oli Burke.
Hamer aside from his great goal, really should show so much more against league 1 but the game just bypassed him.

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

We might as well have just let Mansfield have a bye in to the next round.

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Horrific and embarrassing. Usual bla bla bla from CW probably put a Mansfield kit on wall what a tosser

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Ho hum. Enjoyed it as a spectacle tbf as I wasn't bothered about a cup run

Campbell, Ings and Wilder need to go.

Ruben Selles' brief tenure at this club was the best thing to ever happen to Chris Wilder.

 

[54yrblade]

Delighted for Nigel Clough. We played some good stuff under him and he knows how to tackle a cup game. Shouldn't have been sacked.

Today showed little has changed. Pedestrian play, poor defending, lack of a plan until Wilder sh*t the bed as did the players, and we went into panic mode.

Well done Mansfield - a great result for them.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Nothing like fans losing the plot today! We got done by an underdog, it happens. Not sure it’s a “Wilder Out” result!!

I agree mate … he’s still the same old making the same old mistakes and trotting out the same old shit

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Yeah, it happens every January

 

[Steve.C]

Tinker man not very good a tinkering. Conceding 4 at home to a league 1 side!
Not going to win the FA cup, but some extra cash might have helped because parachute payments have gone. Season over I reckon.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Mansfield 4 ferkin 4 that was abysmal the movement was so shite it was embarrassing lot of players a long way off it time to clear the decks

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Wilder will be in the Pub tonight being bigged up by his arse lickers. The bloke is really starting to boil my piss. Claims to be a fan and serves that shit up?

 

[Jan Age]

Nothing like fans losing the plot today! We got done by an underdog, it happens. Not sure it’s a “Wilder Out” result!!

I always what him out at end of season anyhow.

We are a team low on confidence facing a potential banana skin in the cup

What you do is play your strongest team and then brig on subs at the earliest opportunity once we’ve built a lead and give the fringe players minutes.

It’s hardly rocket science but wilder gets it wrong once again

 

[toledo]

I am getting tired of these feelings but on this occassion, lets give the opposition all the accolades because Mansfield came to win, were fantastic, gave every ounce of their energy and we simply kept going square passing at the back and very few times did we ever go forward with speed, agression, or tactical nuance.

Our defence today was shambolic, our crossing horendous, and we were 4-1 down before we even thought about getting goals in any type of aggressive way.

But, again, big kudos to Mansfield, theyt deserved the win...

[Pole pot]

Disgraceful Disgraceful Disgraceful

 

[utd4ever]

Yeah I guess the true blades will be jumping for joy now we are out. Irony of it all.

 

[pollster]

82 nd minute ONLY
Brooks on the left - Hamer on the right.
Wingers have swapped wings since the dawn of time
But then they attacked wide as they should.
Wilder KNOWS BETTER
F off Wilder

So disappointing
It was still there to win at 4-3 with the own goal.
The only good news is that Ben Mee who is key despite his age as a LCB looked to be badly injured but only had a knock in the face.
This is far far worse than the 2-1 defeat at Mansfield of the fourth with Woodward Currie and Salmons etc as it is solely caused by an imbecile manager who is failing in his fourth season in a row and still getting away with it.
F off Wilder.
On the bright side we could be not last on MOTD but I doubt it's c;lassed as a big shock with the disasters under Wilder and COH.
