Rovers haven't lost to Mansfield since 1998. Since then we have won 3 League encounters, won 1 and drawn 1 in the FA Cup. The last League meeting between the two sides was back in 2004, which Rovers won 2-1; Gregg Blundell getting a brace.

Unchanged starting XI and bench from Notts County.

Good Morning everyone! Early rise here in Canada.
-
I player working? mine isn't at moment
-
Working okay for me
COYR
-
Working for me Martyn but I'm listening to Radio commentary.
-
How we started?
-
Sounding a bit scrappy at the moment
COYR
-
Radio Sheffield for me then. I'm using Safari on MacBook and no Joy. Player works but not for the live coverage.
-
Sounds like they're up for it as you'd expect. We sound like we have carried on from Notts Co when we couldn't keep the ball long enough.
Keeping it scrappy plays right in to their hands. Houghton, usually the one who keeps it simple, is struggling to pass it accurately.
Early days, we can only improve!
-
Houghton having a 'mare with his passing by the sound of it.
-
Marosi haunted by the ghost of Sullivan past again.
-
What does that mean??
Marosi haunted by the ghost of Sullivan past again.

Hope it's not 2016 has claimed another one

I'm sat here watching GSS, and they haven't mentioned our game once, not once. Just the ticker tape thingy running past now and again. You'd think they would visit us a couple of times to see how the game is progressing.
-
Awful first half from Rovers
-
Halftime 0-0 sounding a scrappy game with not to much quality on show. Sounds like fatty is giving the 4th official grief at every opportunity.

Marosi haunted by the ghost of Sullivan past again.
A moment of brass abandon, rushing out when he maybe would have been wiser to stay back. Said in an xmas themed way :blink:
-
Appalling is the only word for that half, far too slow, no movement, poor passing, caught in possession and a lack of passion.
-
Fergie will sort it at half time

All the more sweeter,for when we turn the performance around in the second half,and beat them after giving them false hope. ;) :scarf:
-

Loving the confidence we have in our manager these days. Seems there's always been a torrent of slating unless we're in the top 3 or so. Hard to please us Rovers :cold:
-

Never mind about Mansfield, what about the Rovers?
-
He might change it like he did v County. Need to get better possession but it's a risk that might leave us open to be countered.
Hang on to your hats!
-
Needs Keegan on to sort the middle out and give the team structure.
-
Tough game we need to settle down.
-
We have a proper ''homer '' ref. here
-
Shit 1-0 scored by Green who should have been sent off 5 mins ago
COYR
-
Come on You Reds.....
-
b*llocks.
-
Not at it today need to wake up
-
Still on our Christmas hols........ffs
-
There's always going to be games like this where we're not all there, the ref is a homer, and a decision re the headbut (though would need to see it) goes against us and the fecker scores. Win this and we're champions! :laugh:
-
Basics that's all we need to do properly
-
Sounds like we're being bullied and we don't know how to handle it. Ref not helping mind.
This is where we miss the quality of Coppinger. He'd make the best of possession and draw the fouls.
-
69 minutes, first proper shot on goal.
-
Still time - keep the faith...
-
Nobody to bring on to change it though
-
Come on Rovers,good teams can get a result,even when your not at the races,by our standards. :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :scarf:
-
Id take a draw now

Sounds like the pen was too clear to deny, if that's what you meant? Let's see if he can't surpass himself and cancel a clear goal for us.

85 Keegan for Mandeville #stags 1 #drfc 1

Full time,that'll do for me,good return over christmas,Looking forward to beating Stevenage now :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Good point. We move on....
-
Will take that as we didn't really get out of 1st gear until the 70th. minute. :rtid:
-
It's a point. Onwards and very much upwards. Copps to come back in and maybe one or two more before the end of the month!
-
Full time 1-1 take that having been a goal down. Unlucky not to get all 3 when Rowes header hits the post and comes out
Onwards and upwards
COYR
-
In the end we were unlucky I think, a good point in the end though.
-
I think he's struggling to find a system that works in playing Marquis,Mandeville and Williams together...Good point though
-
Copps to start on Monday will give us some fresh legs after a busy Christmas and New Year period.

I like that he's trying to do that. Copps could be the missing link in that over the last few games? Alfie May could make it interesting!
-
46 points from 23 games. Averaging 2 points per game. :D
-
Who comes out Copps???
-

Fourth best return after 23 games in our entire history, after 1946-47, 2003-04 and 1927-28
-

Probably Mandy unless we have a pen then Marquis cos his pens are crap 😀

you working on a NOW system 3 points
or a THEN when it was 2 points
-
Converting all seasons to either 2 points per win or all seasons to 3 points per win for a fair comparison gives the same results:
1946-47: 39 at 2 per win/57 at 3 per win
2003-04: 34 at 2 per win/49 at 3 per win
1927-28: 34 at 2 per win/49 at 3 per win
2016-17: 32 at 2 per win/46 at 3 per win
Next is 1953-54: 31 at 2 per win/45 at 3 per win
-
Brought down blair
Rowe was fouled for our pen.
