We've not looked nearly sharp enough going forward. A number of wasted opportunities - the wrong decision being made more frequently than the right one.

Kone has a sense of humour!

Good to see Vokesy getting a chance to support the coaching staff. I hope when the time is right we offer him something in the backroom staff.

His career at a higher level and popularity within the squad could be a real asset.

Kone just didn't want to stat pad the top scorer chart with a penalty

Nailed on pen

Not a great pen from Kone, but the presence of mind to follow up the save and bury it to put us 1 up

KONE

Bradley has been an absolute rock. Really appreciate his no nonsense style on away days like these. He never lets aerial balls bounce and wins his headers. We need to get Humphreys on the ball more. Bez having a frustrating game....

Fred has been a nuisance after that terrible pass in the box in the opening minutes.

Kone superb as always, but he’s still having to come out wide to get the ball and you can sense his frustration.

Grimmer and Harvie have been superb and Bradley is superb. Skura solid, but a couple of poor passes almost got us unstuck.

Think Bez is playing well, but him having to cut inside is allowing Mansfield to re-set.

Cam with a couple of magical touches and Scowen almost took out half their team!

I think the positives out-weigh the negatives, and we’re not short of getting position in their third, it’s just finding that final through ball.

Not panicking yet, but an early goal would obviously be nice.

I tell you what - Mansfield have impressed me over both games. Looks like they are a cutting edge away from being a few places higher. I could live with them winning the playoffs if we go up in the autos. Top man as manager too.

I’m at the game and it’s one of the most one sided games I’ve seen all season. PNE can’t get out their half.
