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.

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!

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.

Appalling is the only word for that half, far too slow, no movement, poor passing, caught in possession and a lack of passion.

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.

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.

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.

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
