But you could then say if that went in then the chance that followed which they scored from would not have happened.

Also could say we had a stonewall penalty shout and also seamen should of easily buried the chance at the same time instead of wildley smashing it behind.

Post by: jmt23 on January 28, 2023, 03:48:54 pm
This is exactly like the Tranmere game. We start relatively well ( OG aside) but they are just more up for it.

Given the hype we had before the Tranmere game - we can’t wait, we are up for this match… you would think the manager would ensure we didn’t fall into the same traps.

SOD teams were  always lauded as a passing teams, yet SOD always said you have to earn that right - at times we started direct and in their faces.
We do not do this, and need too, and given we are playing an aggressive style team, the manager should have thought  about this.

Push them back, make them nervous, then establish your game.

I have only seen us 6 times this season but takeaways so far.

We persist with Miller on his own.   The lad runs himself to the ground but it's not the best use.

We are so slow playing from the back.  Gives other team time to organise and we lose the ball.

We are not an attacking threat.   Countless times we don't test the keeper at all.

We are poor at preventing crosses

Needs to play with a higher tempo

Post by: Thorney on January 28, 2023, 04:04:21 pm
Think some of the reactions are a bit over the top. I'd say we have been in this throughout. A quick on goal. And there goal came from a period when we had been easily on top.

We have had a stonewall penalty turned down. Another penalty from a block by the mansfield defender from seamens shit which was clearly blocked by the arm. We have had some nice play. But the issue is they have had 2 go in (most important bit like).

Hurst and maxwell have linked up well going forward. Shame the 2 on the right arnt doing the same.

Some reactions would have you believe that mansfield are running riot and we are playing like the tranmere away game. Let's turn 1 in and mansfield will start to crumble
Title: Re: Mansfield v Rovers
Post by: Lesonthewest on January 28, 2023, 04:08:12 pm
Well from that first half, apart from the usual one of no shots on target, Seaman is not good enough for this level. Mollyneux looks disinterested &  a complete passenger, Biggins anonymous, Miller completely isolated, we're still a soft touch, & we miss Knoyle.

We have been at least as good as them just a shame we can’t defend
so we haven’t then? Defending is part and parcel of the game.

We’ve gifted them the first 3 goals, missed an open net, should have had a penalty but our lack of midfield bite keeps getting us beat, 4-1 down to a very average side, embarrassing

Another game where the GD is -3
So we cant defend
We haven’t got a midfield that’s strong enough
We can’t score when we do have chances
But we are sustainable

Well that was my half time optimism shot to bits.
Defence just crumbled again

We have to my mind and I’m only listening on ifollow, created as much if not more, and better chances to score. We have also had 1-2 penalty shouts?
That does say to me we are ok ish going forward, the problem is very obviously defensively.

I expect we will win the next game which almost hides some of the deficiencies- I hope to god DS has some ideas on what good defenders look like in the summer.

Well for the 1800 supporters well done I don’t see where your optimism comes from. The transfer window has been average  at best . But we move on to the next game.

We came out in the second half with some decent attacking intent. But very poor defending and inability to even tap the ball into the net from close range only results in one thing. A heavy loss against a very mediocre side.

We are deficient in all areas of the pitch plus off the pitch
