Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Lovely stuff. Also nice to see Humphreys talking to Skura after he'd given the ball away cheaply.
We might be ok you know.
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Really good, exciting game today and at times some excellent football and some determined defence late on.
Fantastic win and atmosphere at the ground and great to see the players encouraging us to make more noise when we were under pressure.
Just one observation to add that I really enjoyed and not really seen mentioned on here.
Shortly before we scored our second their No 11. Who had been a moaning, whinging prick most of the second half, had a pretty much open goal with the ball at his feet 5/6 yards out and managed to steer it well wide of the goal rather than give Mansfield the lead which they would probably have kept.
‘Served him right’ I thought at the time and Karma was delivered on him shortly afterwards.
Re: New Manager Vote
I agree - I have never felt for even 30 seconds this season that Birmingham would not win the league. I hope they pound Wrexham and Huddersfield into fine dust!
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Great performance but wow we really do have a lot of strength in depth, apart from maybe right back at the moment. With Sadlier, Low and Westagaard and maybe Anders to fit into the team, we have more exciting times ahead.
Sonny times ahead 👍.
Re: Man of the Match - Mansfield (A)
You’re absolutely right, we’ve got an embarrassment of riches, but we’re shuffling them around to fit a square peg into a round hole. I commented on this earlier, but Bez is having to take an extra touch or two to get set as he’s out of position and it gives the opposition vital seconds to reset. Sad’s will be game changing when he’s back, working with Harvie and terrorising the midfield, which is and has been our weakest area since Morley left.
But to come away from there, with three points, wow. Successful promotion campaigns were won of those sorts of games.
Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Cam seems completely emotionally attached to this club. This is a credit to what our club has always stood for, it’s our house and we are family. I think when he goes back to Ipswich and goes on to have the stellar career he deserves, and I think he has England potential one day, I think he will definitely have that trip back to Suffolk with a tear or two in his eyes.
Re: New Manager Vote
Yeah I Woodman. I'm sure they can Russell something up, Des going to be lots of speculation but it seems to be even Steven's at the moment. Perhaps some have a Claus in their contract that we have to meet.
Re: Man of the Match - Mansfield (A)
Good post - I still think a major issue is that Bez is out of position on the wing. Since we insist on Fred and GMac spotting each other on the right, we have had no true wide men for a while out left.
Bez is really good in the box itself, but gets marooned out wide as far as being able to create much. I think it is a case of him being too good of a player for the manager to feel like he can leave out, but I would prefer Fred/GMac as the main men on left and right, with Kodua backing up GMac and Udoh backing up Fred (till Sadlier is back) and both Udoh and Lubala as options for spotting Kone.
