Team, tactics and formation we wanted......

[Parkinsons Perm]

And we still lost, what more can he do, he can't put the ball in the net for them.

Pearce outmuscled for the knock on in lead up to first goal!!!

Maynard should have had another hat trick!!

I hope he sticks with it (White RB, Gordon RW for Macca) and doesn't revert to negative 5 at the back hoping to eek points out.

[PEAR CIDER]

Agree. Players need to own this

[Sedgwick]

A good manager will believe in it and not change everything.

[nick_stags]

Completely agree

[Spiritater]

have mentioned i think they're nowt but a bunch of spunkless bottlers?

[Parkinsons Perm]

I agree, I've been Dempster out camp most of season but it looks like he's staying. It's exactly what you've put above why I want him gone.

We've tried 5-3-2, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 he's no conviction in any of them!!!

[1966Stag]

An average set of players with a below average manager, at least we will not have to worry about bottling it in the last 10 games, season's over after first 15.

[daddycool]

How did we lose that ? ,possession and chances we should have walked it

[Foresttownstag]

The teams body language after the Salford first goal was poor, they looked down and out.

[Parkinsons Perm]

How did we lose that ? ,possession and chances we should have walked it

I agree with that too and its why I put he can't put it in the net for them. P poor finishing cost us

[my name is jonas]

I actually thought that was one of our best performances this season.

Maynard really should have got 1 or 2 in the first half. Cook put one on a plate for him in the first 10 mins. Score that and it’s a different game.

How we come away with nothing I don’t know.
Khan, Bishop and Gordon never stopped running. Can’t fault the fitness levels today either.

Unfortunately it was one of them days where we didn’t get the luck, seems to be more often than not this season though.

[yellowstagsfan]

As big as Cook is Seems to get knocked over too easily and doesn’t win a lot in the air

This home and away tactic is not doing well. We set up to win at home and draw away, but we've hardly picked up any points at home.

It's just not working. We're 18th.

[Chrisuknottm]

Totally agree with everything said. Just home and you have to shrug your shoulders and say that's the game. Gave us the team and formation we wanted....they never stopped running....just the final ball quality lacking and shooting on target with venom. I'd rather lose like that than the defensive rubbish served up before. It happens. ..on to Walsall.

[Parkinsons Perm]

That's because he held it up instead of flicking it on to nobody

I really hope he goes to Walsall with same formation except White and Gordon down the right. Go for it John but I think he'll revert to type

[cassellswasmagic]

Macca is stealing a wage!!! I didn’t think he was playing until he got took off.
Maynard should have had a three goals again, but we are so shot shy it’s amazing and the defending is shambolic at times. Not JD’s fault.
Shaughnessy is class. So much so he makes the rest seem below average.

[yorkshire stag]

i really hope he isn’t in charge at Walsall, it’s painful John, bloody painful

why the hell are the board putting up with this, Why ?

you will lose the 2000 as quick as we gained them JR, change it please

It’s no coincidence that Maynard had a lot more room with Cook doing all the dirty work up front .

John Radford obviously has money and has invested heavily in the club but the key to get Mansfield moving forward is to invest in getting the best managerial team possible. An experienced team that knows which players to bring in and how to utilise them effectively. Evans was tried but Evans focus will always be Evans. Flitcroft was given money but wasn't experienced or good enough to know how to get the best out of what he had.

The appointment of Dempster is just another managerial appointment mistake.

[yorkshire stag]

yet the board sit back and allow another week go by without acting, beggars belief

admit it!, wrong choice .......it happens

just don’t put the paying public through another week of this please JR

I wonder if Pep might be interested

Bit of scope of finding something suitable between Pep and John Dempster.

Haha. True. You can put every Stagsnet contributor in the mix.

[geoffhill]

Jimmymac.How you can say that DF wasn't experienced enough seem a strange comment when he has achieved promotion with Bury.We played quite well last night but just couldn't score.Pearce at fault especially for the second goal.we have a good enough squad to win more matches than we lose.Not sure that replacing the manager would improve matters.Any team can win in this league.Just see where we end up.Mellis and White would help.
