Good value for £10. Two great strikes by Timi Elsnik gave the Stags a 2-0 lead. It's nice to have a goalscoring midfield player. It was a very open game. Too open for my liking. Crewe had a few decent chances. Matt Preston looked a little uncomfortable playing on the left of a back three but he did make a few vital interceptions/tackles in defence in the first half. Jacob Mellis and Neil Bishop played well in midfield. Danny Rose and Tyler Walker worked hard up front. It was a shame for Tyler that he missed another decent chance that he created himself. Hayden White looked a little off the pace after his lay off.
It was a great move by David Flitcroft at half time to go to a flat back four and release CJ Hamilton on to the left where he linked up well with Mal Benning. Jacob Mellis was on fire. A great pass to CJ Hamilton to give Tyler Walker a tap in for the third goal; and then he played CJ Hamilton in again but CJ missed a great chance to make it 4-0. The game was then over and became a little scrappy. Bobby Olejnik had to make a good save near the end. Krystian Pearce was rock solid in the 2nd half and won everything.
My MOM was Jacob Mellis for the 2nd consecutive game. I think he was involved in all three goals. Timi Elsnik probably comes a close second for his two goals followed by Matt Preston, Krystian Pearce and Neil Bishop.
Up to 9th with a game in hand.
Great summary TTF, In a nutshell IMO
Woohoo Eureeka 4-4-2 We will be running out to the tune, The only way is up!
Yeah because 3-5-2 clearly didn't work as we were only 2-0 up at half time
MOM has to be Elsnik, two goals, some great passing and made the difference, the others Darren mentioned also had good games
