Re: Match Day Thread: Mansfield
Wrexham fans absolutely smashing the players and manager on their forum. Absolute wankers, as if they’re entitled to sweep through the divisions on their march to the premier league. God I hope we don’t attract these kind of people in the future. Sickening scenes.
Re: Man of the Match - Mansfield (A)
Garath has not been in the best of form in recent weeks, hence all the talk of Kodua being given a chance on the right. But class is permanent. You could see from his guttural raw of delight to himself after scoring that the goal really mattered to him. Maybe he had begun to doubt himself - it would be natural at his age to think that maybe the form would never return again. But that goal put any demons to bed. I was delighted for him and now expect many more goals to come (even if they're half as good as yesterday's I'll be very happy indeed).

It’s Alfie Mawson’s birthday today. He’s 31.

I'd be delighted with Buckingham and especially delighted with Schumacher
Re: Attendance Prediction - Mansfield Town (a) - Sat 18th Jan '25 - Match 26 in 24/25
Mansfield really are having a great season in terms of crowd numbers, they sell out in the home areas nearly every game which is around 6900.
Yesterday was the 10th time we had played them in the league and apart from one game back in Level 3 in 2003 they have never had a crowd more than 3237 against us with an average over the 9 of 3122.
It does make you wonder why we continue to struggle to get more than 4000 home fans through the gate on average, especially with the season we are having.
Re: Squad strength - January 2025 transfer window
He's out of contract in 5 months so we could sign him irrelevant of Derby.
Re: New Manager Vote
Realistically Sam Grace won’t be in the mix at all and probably doesn’t want to be. As Flymo says let him crack on with what he’s good at as we kick on with the development teams and academy.
Apart from Schumacher though the other names mentioned all feel quite meh. The Buckingham rumour probably true, he would likely apply for the job. Brentford bloke seems plausible as that would seem to fit our strategy. I imagine the Holden rumour was made up by his agent thankfully and I just can’t see the owners going for a non league manager.
Re: New Manager Vote
As much as he did wonderfully yesterday (and this week in general), he seems a reluctant manager and I think giving him the no 1 role would be a very bad move indeed.
Re: New Manager Vote
It sounds brilliant.
Just the sort of possible snippets of hand me down in the know stuff.
