FA Cup Round 3 |
Attendance: 14, 466 |
Stags
bowed of the FA Cup at Premiership Leicester City today. Stags produced a
terrific first half performance to more than hold their own and were
deservedly level at the break. But the Premiership outfit out-ran the
Stags in a disappointing second half which saw under Mansfield under
constant pressure. However Allen Tankard could have earned the Stags a
replay in the final minute of injury time when he headed over from 6
yards. Report by Martin Shaw |
STAGS RATINGS | ||
Pilkington | 7 | Made some great saves, dealt well with most of the crosses, and seemed to be only beaten by 2 fine headers. |
Hassell | 6 | Too many crosses were allowed to come in from the left wing. Not Bobby's best game. |
Tankard | 7 | Defended well, and could have been the injury time here again. |
Barrett | 7 | Did well under severe pressure from dangerous and big strikeforce. |
Robinson | 7 | Mopped up the scraps well and didn't make any mistakes. |
Lawrence | 6 | Had a good first half pushing forward, but a little overrun in the second half. |
Corden | 7 | Great 1st half causing lots of danger down the left, but had to play too deep in the 2nd. |
Pemberton | 6 | Filled in reasonable well for Disley in first half, but too quiet in the second half. |
Williamson | 7 | Good tackling in the first half, and one great run to the edge of the box before being fouled, but disappeared in the second half. |
Greenacre | 8 | Fabulous 1st half, showing his class and not looking out of place, winning headers that he had no right to win, laying the ball off brilliantly, and scoring a terrific goal. Not given much of the ball in 2nd half. |
Bradley | 6 | Battled hard but tended to give the ball away too often. One good header across the goal early on. |
