Mansfield v Swindon Town matchday thread

[Posh Red]

We at least made a game of it in the second half and didn’t get battered.
Could have nicked a point, which on the second half would have been fair, based on the first half would have been daylight robbery

[adje]

Expected a dicking before the game. Expected embarrassment after 15 mins. But in the end we should have got a point

Yep

[Sippo]

Embarrassing.

I know someone who has seen the books, literally works in accounts, and our owner has no money. It's a sad state of affairs. Clem has messaged this person multiple times asking for advice.

Obviously not looking for bites, but we are in dire situation which is worse than people realise.

Poor first half. Could have been dead & buried.
Better second half. End to end. Could have gone literally anyway.

How Mansfield played during in injury time & their commentators reactions clearly shows they were holding on at the end.

Just like our whole season - some good, some bad.

Let's hope there's someone with the requisite funds who's interested then.

no it's not worse than we realise

[Batch]

fair result in my book.

Mansfield had so many good chances. We had a few ourselves, but far fewer

we all think he's fucked financially, and by extensions we as a club are fucked.

hope he sells up before it's too late

[Outletred]

Clem has to go before it’s too late

If we go into admin and get a 10pt deduction we are likely down

Going nowhere under this ownership

The suggestion from those in and around the know is that the asking price is too high, not sure how that squares with Clem being flat broke. He clearly doesn't have much money, but if he had none at all you think he'd be keen to sell a loss making asset at basically any price.

I've always liked Gunning and was happy he was given a chance, and at first thought he was a breath of fresh air with his new ideas and attacking play. But his last few games show he very hit and miss, and really hasn't got a clue !

His set up today was bizzare - Elboozi as a wing back immediately rang alarm bells. He's a great attacking winger, but it was obvious our right sided defence was really going to be a problem - and how that came to pass ! All their attacking play came down that side with Elboozi either awol or ineffective in defence, and Brewitt was soo slow coming over to help. The real worrying thing is that Gunning did nothing to address it, while all the rest of us watching could see it !

Khan was utter dogshit today, how he stayed on for the whole game I'll never know. Brewitt was poor and should'e been replaced by Kokolo, reverting to a back 4.

Could have been 4 down in the first half, but going forward we looked quite threatening, and Elboozi was amazing doing what he's good at ! Nice to see Glatzel and Drinnan get their goals, should boost their confidence. Unfortunately RHM has reverted to his normal self.

An entertaining game, but haven't seen anything to feel we're building for a better future !

Gunning:
- Frustrating result, but shows that we....
- A defeat is a defeat
- When you concede 3 goals that are horror shows then its a frustrating afternoon
- We worked on getting goal side all week.
- They had 5 mins where they were a tornado. We were chasing our tail
- Swan. Middle of the goal and free header.
- Being a defender its frustrating.
- Just have to have desirte to get close. We worked on dont mark space mark people in the box ALL WEEK
- The first 5-10 mins we were all over the place
- After that quite an even game
- Frustrating
- Tough to get the words out.
- To come to one of the top teams and go toe to toe but concede horror show goals
- We switched off after the goal.
- Dont mark one of the best player in the league and he scores
- We dont mark in the box and they score again
- Realism is that both teams had chances and didnt take them
- Both teams were on the front foot and both defences were a little shaky
- They couldn't cope with UGM who kept driving forward
- Could have been 5-5
- 3 at the back was to cope with their 2 strikers who play wide
- Zak tore the left back apart. We should have played it to him more
- They have score something like 25 goals in the last 5
- You come here and its just lapses in concentration that did for us
- So frustration that it was lapses of concentration
- Drinan was clever and a threat all game. Came alive after 20 mins. A real positive his performance
- Realism is that if you go to places like Stockport (solid performance) and Mansfield (gone toe to toe) and score 2 goals away from home and get nothing
- It was a 50/50 game
- We switched off and 'it is what it is' (Took ages for his first one today - Thought he might get through the whole interview without one. But, it is what it is!)

Should't this be on another thread - certainly not match day !

Would he, should he, expect to make money on his gift of 50% of the CG?
