At 3-0 up I’d give the Wolves kid as many minutes as possible now. French on for DMH straight swap by the look of it. I'd agree with you.

Mansfield are truly dire. They’re shocking. I’m trying to gauge how much of this is is being good and how much them being shit. They’ve got Lapslie carrying the whole team. Who’s just been sent off 😂

Decent performance albeit against a team who we're as poor as we've been this season.
ROD 6. Couple of good saves but he's starting to really piss me off with his distribution and staying on his feet when kicking.
Hossannah 8. Great performance and attitude will just keep getting better.
Wood 8. A hand in all 3 goals and played his usual great game....Gets mom for his contributions but only just pipped Hossannah.
AOC 8. Gets a lot of stick but was at his best today.
BRE 8. As above.
DMH 6. The lad tries and will run for the cause but he's not a pro league footballer.
Watt 7. Reminds me a lot of Gareth Whalley and played the quarterback role well today.
Cooke 7.5 Tired in the last 15 but everything we did well today went through him and Pritchard. Was always chasing down out of possession too.
Pritchard 7.5 as above except he didn't tire.
Novak 7.5 Life in the old dog yet, did everything but get a goal.
Donaldson 7. Not sure he was as good today as people say but he had his moments and got the goal.
All in all very satisfactory, amazing what confidence it can give to players playing them in a position they can play in a formation that suits the players. There will be tougher teams than them but this division is garbage.

Keep it simple, 442, and we're ok.
Good win. Good performance.
Nice.

That dismal defence reared its head again as they managed to score after going down to ten men.
Can't figure out if we play better under 4-4-2 (which means bye bye Clarke, which I'm not sure McCall will do) or if Mansfield are just fucking shit, and I'm worried its more of the latter. Wood is shit hot though and that new lad from Leeds was cracking too

Did we look great today? No. But we looked OK and in control. Have to agree that Hosannah looked good, Wood back to his best and an honourable mention to Donaldo for the goal and some good hold up play. We'll face much better teams, well, better teams, but a job well done. Can't help but think that with a clinical striker we'd have put seven or eight past them.

There will be tougher teams than them but this division is garbage. I genuinely thought Pritchard was poor today. Hosannah looked good and I think he’d suit a wing back role. Of the two centre backs I thought there wa clear daylight between AOC and BRE. Wood a clear MOM - almost new contract material but best not to rush these things.

It was a better performance for sure but they were truly awful. Just have to hope there are more Mansfield's than Harrogate's in the division.
Three goals and a win, can't argue with that.
Please be considerate in your celebrations tonight.

Is anyone surprised that Cooke looks a lot happier without Billy Clarke occupying the space he instinctively wants to head for?

I don't want to see any more of that stupid diamond shite like we saw on Monday. The less fucking about with team formations in this division the better.

The less fucking about with team formations in this division the better. If Evans is fit play him wide right and I'd say that's our best team Staunton for BRE with French pushing both centre backs for a start and I’d agree. We still desperately need another forward though unless Samuels turns out to be a star.

Much better than Tuesday. Got to be the way forward, 442 and a full back playing full back. That made a huge difference. Bit disappointed we couldn’t keep a clean sheet and how often, especially Novak, gave the ball away cheaply.

Slagged them all off after Harrogate, but good on them for replying in the way they did. Not brilliant, but more than good enough and as said, playing players in preferred positions and the simplest of tactics can work.
Only thing as mentioned is the lack of a clinical striker. That game should have been 4, 5 up. But going into the last few minutes it's 3-1 - comfortable but I expect a lot of us were anticipating us to concede a second and be hanging on.
But for the love of God Stuart, injuries aside please keep it for Tuesday.
