Over 50 years of support and only 3 QFs in that time. Pathetic.
Have been scarred ever since1 -
We started with three in midfield and we were getting overrun.
So Bowyer pushes Pratley forward to create a midfield four and we were still being overrun.
Too many sloppy passes and being second best to the ball means they have dominated. We can’t keep possession for any kind of meaningful spell.1 -

We are the definition of a non cup side.1 -
The Stevenage side were nowhere near the threat this Mansfield side were likely to offer I'm afraid.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Bolton, Man Utd, Middlesbrough and Sheffield u.
I take it all back. Far from pathetic.0 -
Agree, not been awful but not been good.Pelling1993 said:I can't be the only one that thinks were not playing that badly? Could've easily have had 2 or 3
Two standouts have been Dijksteel and Sarr. Both have had a lot to do without getting much support from their fullbacks either side of them. Both generally looking more stable and reliable than even a few months ago. Dijksteel perhaps could have done more for the goal, but as became standard in the last 20 minutes of the first half Mansfield were in running at him and he had no fullback cover and only Sarr covering the middle.
Taylor Maloney is a player I really rate. He's always looking for the ball, has a good range of passing, takes up good positions, and puts himself about a bit. But something I've noticed a few times now is he has a bad habit of under-hitting passes badly. I suspect some of that is the difference between U-23 and senior football. But certainly something to work on.
When we have gotten to ball to Grant and Ajose they've linked well and looked dangerous, despite not taking chances. But we have to get the ball to their feet more. We don't have Taylor to get flick-ons or hold the ball up.
Pratley has been very poor for me since moving in to midfield. I continue to not understand how such an experienced player (at higher levels as well) can give the ball away so frequently and just get caught so badly out of position. Genuinely thought he was better at CB where at least he couldn't roam around.3 -
As already mentioned... It doesnt help were missing Taylor and his ability to hold up the ball.
Grant is doing his best by running on to the long balls as usual and making it uncomfortable for their defenders when they're on the ball yet Ajose is doing neither, instead he's dropping deep with the ball which simply gives the Mansfield players time to get back into position1 -
Get Clarke on. We might as well get his next injury out of the way sooner rather than not.5
-
Oh, we’ve been awful alright. It’s not over yet, but Let’s not gloss over it.0
-
Disjointed. haven't taken at least two good chances, Grant and Lapslie.
Sarr is supposed to be the mainstay.
Maloney and Stephenson anonymous.
Ward not that interested, nor Ajose.
Sarr has a presence because he has to, Lapslie beavering away, Marshall occasional showings.
No sense of a team that knows each other.
We might score, but I think Mansfield will score again too.
Got to massively improve.0 - Sponsored links:

Stevenage also made 9 changes for their game against us.
Mansfield have made 2 changes only.
It's more or less their 1st team, unbeaten in their last 11 games.

Good job you weren't at the Wycombe game a couple of years later then. That would have left you in an even worse state.ForeverAddickted said:

Ajose is doing absolutely nothing.
I would replace him with Clarke with about 30 minutes remaining.
The minutes on the pitch can only help him regain match fitness.1 -
The lads are back out at the One Call Stadium. The second half will be getting underway any moment...

KICK-OFF!
Jamie Ward gets the second half going. No changes for either team at the break.

Get Fosu, Clarke and RHF on. Shake things up, triple sub and go for it.2

Ward won't want to risk getting injured, before the international break.seth plum said:

Bowyer got him pulled out the Norn Iron squad last time - so that he could play for Charlton.
He'll be on a promise this time. Expect him to be hooked early.

It’s not, but I’m yet to see what Ajose is good at to be honest. Maybe if he actually tried once in a while...Oggy Red said:
Although to be fair to Ajose, holding the ball up is not his role.Exiled_Addick said:
Average age of 11, and no one up front to hold the ball up and build attacks around. We really badly miss Lyle Taylor, and it’s exaggerated by just how bad and unsuitable as a replacement for him Ajose is.EastStand said:What’s wrong with our midfield? Why can’t we keep the ball?
There's no replacement for Lyle Taylor in the squad - except maybe Reeco Henry-Lovechild, perhaps?

47' Hamilton breaks down the left for Mansfield and Phillips tips his shot wide.

Hamilton shouldn’t be getting a shot in, should have been stopped way before then1

I thought Ward took himself out of the team for the last International Break seeing that O'Neill didnt have a gripe about us when he then played against StevenageOggy Red said:

50' Maloney shoots from range and home skipper Krystian Pearce blocks it bravely with his gentleman's area.

Mellis mistimes his challenge on Maloney, giving the visitors a free kick just inside their own half.0 -
making 9 changes & only fielding 5 subs tells the players that the manager doesn't care, so why should they. cant blame the players if the manager doesn't want it. may have even told the players not too go in hard so as to avoid further injuries.
the only thing I do insist on is that we fecking try shooting for a change.0 -
Much better through ball from Maloney
Shame the corner was shite0
