Rod Hull and Brown? Got a ring to it.

After reading some extracts from his book I wonder if Mark Walters would be worth considering

A complete punt that could be disastrous and could also be a revelation?

Yes please.

That was painful viewing, the team appear to be going backwards.  Players who looked decent starting to perform badly as well.  Brown seems to be making a mess of it.  Mansfield looked useless as well, even with 11.  That could have been a Flitcroft team playing a Flitcroft team today.

I’ve supported Brown until today but my patience has run out.

Yes this display was better than last week- however his record with us is shocking.

Played 24 won 6-25% win rate.

Subs today were baffling Adebayo had Preston for dinner last ten mins he was on yet gets substituted!

Brown either wins Tuesday or he should be out in my opinion

Somebody that isn't Brown. Or Flitcroft. I think Batch put his hat in the ring last time around, might as well give him a shot.

Fuck that. Its a hiding to nothing with this squad.

I'm in a quandary with Brown. Its been said He's cocked up by relying on Richards as our main goal threat, and Taylor is looking at the end of the road too - though he put sa couple of good balls in today.

I can understand why he took that risk, it could have worked out even though I hadn't expected it to.

Brown isn't a total turd that would get us relegated, but do I think given the window we'd end up play challengers. Probably not.

May as well give my twopenneth on the match.

Ref was wank.

OPPO: They looked dangerous early on trying to hit over the top between our two central defenders, and it nearly worked. They also forced a very good save out of Vigs in the first half, but after the sending off they created little . They did force Vigs into "sweeper keeper" late on with a good intercepting tackle.

Us: In a very disjointed performance. I thought the defense largely did well. The midfield kind of misfired a bit, Alazte was disappointing today,  Dave's distribution was off but he did protect and break up play.
Up top:  Anderson poor. Richards Poor. Adebeyo Poor. The latter had started to run Preston (who looked a bit pukka pied up). Then got subbed.
Actually thought McGlashen looked OK today when he came on. Can he play on the left, because I'd have had him terrifying Preston.

All in all we look devoid of goals and it was a frustrating, poor game.

Mansfield are a bunch of dirty moaning bastards and we couldnt break them down, we looked a bit better today than last week but still can't score....we still need a striker despite what Reg says.

Eh... back in the summer I pointed out that the sale of Norris and Mullin left the squad looking significantly weaker up front... further I suggested that replacing 2 who scored 19 betwen them last season with a loan kid Bayo, was asking an awful lot of him.

What I have said is that you don't need a striker who gets you 20 goals a season, fine if you've got one.... but not necessary as all the stats prove.

Franchise are in the auto slots and have scored the same number as us.... they've made better use of their goals by being solid defensively.

You can think of seasons, where Cox and Ajose were 20+ men and we nearly went down, whereas none of our 3 autos out of Div 4 have had a 20 goal striker.

Div 4 is attritional football, Stags have lost 1 game this season, so are hard to beat, which is how it panned out, so no real surprise.

Tuesday was always the more important game as it does represent a genuine opportunity to get a win.... a shame therefore that Cambridge got a very decent point today at Lincoln, so their confidence will be high.  We need a win soon, otherwise our safe midtable perch will come under a bit of threat.

Shit game, against 2 shit teams, with a shit ref. No urgency, no cutting edge and no fucking clue.
Sums it up exactly.

We could lose that with an experienced manager in charge as well?

Just as likely to lose our league status if we keep Brown

I disagree, Brown should have enough to keep us up, we have only lost 4 in 14, so have picked up something from 10 of our games... OK too many draws to really mount a challenge, and we do ned a win soon
