We're winning. But we've been shit. Its very tough, they're blocking us through the middle. Cooke isn't getting any change and is having to drop far too deep and when he gets the ball he's no options. They're pinning Crankshaw and Vernam back and Sutton is invisible. We always do better after half time which tells me S&T watch the game and adjust accordingly, fingers crossed we do it again.

They’re pressing us so high that we’re struggling for time on the ball. Hopefully they’ll get knackered as the game wears on.

Fuck me it's worse than twitter on here. Mansfield have set up to counter us and are doing it well. That doesn't mean we've been poor. Don't understand it either. It's not been a smorgasbord of action but Mansfield haven't had a shot on target in that first half and we had a few despite not getting corners.
I think at the moment they're just trying not to get relegated as their passing (hence them dominating posession) hardly screams tiki taka.

Newport losing 1-0 and Exeter are drawing. With a win we would go ahead of them and be 9th by my estimation

The substitutions have been worrying. Every one has made us weaker.

Been more equal this half and to be fair I don't recall them having a shot on target so far. Great defensive performance so far

It always feels like a deep relief after the game when the whistle does go but in fairness you usually look back on it and can't actually remember us allowing them a sight on goal at all. This back four look absolutely immense at the moment.

Paudie and Canavan. The most impressive defensive performances since OJs legal team.

Paudie and Canavan. The most impressive defensive performances since OJs legal team. I thought those two, AOC and Watt all had superb games. Vernam and Crookshank looked decent too. Rowe was quiet apart from the goal. Sutton didn’t do much. Cooke was tidy and Wood did well defensively. Tough scrappy game but five on the trot’ll do nicely.

Another clean sheet, Mansfield didn't look like scoring. Happy days.

Played like we were pissed tonight. Gave the ball away for fun and a better team would've punished us. Mansfield were decent until it came to scoring which they never looked like doing.

Never thought we were going to concede tonight.
That's the change for me. We look like we can hold a lead for the first time in God knows how long.
