points make prizes and flitcroft has nowt to come, it's negative and unproductive why some are defending his his point a game record is beyond me, county will soon be above us and we will be in the bottom 5, I don't want to be relegated again but with a 20% win rate we will be, got to go DF.

I can’t defend DF’s record, his subs or the constant drawing but if we beat Crewe then it doesn’t look terrible. The most annoying thing is even with a top 3 budget, we’re still being typical Mansfield.


If we beat Crewe? This game hasn’t even been pencilled in yet. The game in hand won’t matter when we are 15 points off play offs!

Exactly, we could be miles off by the time we play them. Soon it could be ‘if we beat Crewe and Grimsby’. Playing catch up with games in hand isn’t good for anyone, particularly if you have a win rate as poor as ours.

No it’s not but being 2-1 up going into added time and throwing it away is.

We’ve now dropped 8 points from winning positions. It’s not good enough

We didn't play well today, they were better with the ball than we were. Midfield struggled and gave away possession too easily. We moved it quicker but gave it away every time. We sat back and did the same as the other late equalisers went in. Either we are not as fit as we think we are or our tactics are breakable, But we had a least six goal scoring chances and again should have been three up at half time, FACT

Sounds like a plan :lol: Obviously JR won't even be thinking about changing manager, but the pressure will increase the longer we are mid table. At the start of the week 5 pts from the 3 games would have been acceptable, but it is very frustrating how missed chances and a very late equaliser have cost us 4 pts.

We need a goalscorer not a new manager.

We seem to be creating chances, but not taking them.

If we are only one up near the end of the game, the opposition are going to throw everything at us to save the game.

I'm as disappointed as anyone but sacking the manager isn't the answer.

Besides who is out there that is better and available?

Lets sack him and get Oldhams manager in. He can keep a clean sheet. Should have been 4-1 but we can't put it in the net.

I get the distinct feeling if we had conceded early in the first half and lost the game 1 nil there would have been less disappointment.

I understand the frustration, but I'm sure the players are feeling gutted too.

An away point gained against a better side on the day apparently or two points thrown away?

Take your pick.

On balance, today's result is fair. We don't put enough of our chances away. We are missing a killer in the box and I think that will cost us this season.

Also, I agree that, for his budget, Flitcroft's points haul isn't good enough. If things don't pick up by Christmas id consider a change.

Bellwhiff, couple of questions. Are you genuinely confident he can take us up this season?

Out of curiosity, if results carry on like this, i.e 20%(ish) win ratio, at what stage of the season is enough enough for you? Or would you give him the full season even if we were pottering around in midtable?

I would definitely give him a full season if we're mid table for most of it. It only takes 3 or 4 wins to move you up a quarter of the league.

Maybe not but my point is we can’t keep latching onto the game in hand. It’s not even pencilled in and we have no idea when it’ll be. Would I fancy us to win away at Crewe? Absolutely not
