I keep marveling at what a fine win that was, and a quality game too (credit to Mansfield). To do it in the context of the week we have had is just incredible.
Put it this way: Blooms came in after an amiable departure as the heir apparent when the team was flying, and we still put in an uneven performance with a loss away to Shrewsbury. Today we went into the game with less momentum, a more difficult opposition, and a contentious week...and put in a brilliant display.
I think one of my main emotions today is relief that we can get back to (mostly) focusing on the players!
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.
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.
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.

One other moment few will have seen but the benefit of TV replays: Leahy and Humphreys look of sheer joy at each other after McCleary’s goal.
Good call.. On a mooch in the city tomorrow and may have to pop in..

Lovely stuff. Also nice to see Humphreys talking to Skura after he'd given the ball away cheaply.
We might be ok you know.
