I think we've got to go external for someone with experience. Let Sam G get on with what he's good at.

Yeah I may have been a bit emotional myself when I wrote that, especially the England part. But he reminds me of the old Spectrum footy games where the ball is attached to his foot, he’s that good on the ball!

Swings and roundabouts isn’t it.

we had three shouts in one move in first half (foul on Lubala and two handballs), all were 50-50 shouts, none given.

Lubala was also denied a cast iron penalty in second half. He had to header over as he was pushed off balance by the defender. That’s not been talked about but both Lubala and Kone protested heavily to ref. I thought ref in general had a good game but that decision was one he got majorly wrong.

Yes, Skura played very well at the end. He barely won a header in the first half though against their admittedly giant forwards, and played a few shaky passes. This will be fantastic experience for him

Brilliant post 👍

The scenes at the end. The turmoil of the last week has brought everyone at the club together even more than before. The culture of this fantastic club lives on. Can't wait for next Saturday.

Funnily enough I can recall several occasions when the Mansfield players fell to the ground and rolled around after being tackled then mysteriously leapt up again when they realised that the referee (who I thought was ok apart from adding an excessive amount of stoppage time) wasn’t going to award a free kick.

Thanks John. 🐷

He will learn so much from Sonny in this loan spell. Some of his headers towards the end (against Flint!) were massive. On two occasions I assumed it was Sonny smashing the ball with his head 25 yards upfield, but it was Declan. We know he can play football with his feet and maybe adding some ugly stuff to his game will make him the player we all hope he can be. Really early on in his career but so much talent and potential.
