He’s not league standard, may as well gone for an opposition player. We genuinely laughed when they announced that.

Playing with macca is like playing with 10 men as it is.

Not one Mansfield player played well today and Coughlan tactically got it wrong.

When down to 10 men, generally always become more organised and resolute because they have to be. In these times, you have to have the ability to break teams down with some creativity and we did not have it. Bringing Bishop off and switching to a narrow CF trio was an error. Instead, we played with an asymmetrical 433 with only one 'wide' player, CJ, who was poor today. Widening the pitch is critical (and obvious) to opening up space between the opposition. We didn't do that.

Coughlan claimed he 'couldn't have done anymore' and I do not agree at all. He got the shape wrong, as well as the personnel in my view. Khan should've been introduced when we needed more creativity and the reshuffle of shape was ineffectual.

Both manager and players let us down today.

But we had our most creative player according to many on here still on the pitch, Mellis?
He went missing again as at Shrewsbury against 10 men, woeful!!

Mellis is our most creative player and yes he was poor today. He is not Kevin De Bruyne.

Mellis has not got the legs or the ability everyone thinks he has.

Can't remember him making a telling forward pass today.

I've said this for a while .
CG said in his post match, these players have cost managers there jobs and he doesn't want to be next.
He's a massive job on.

Think Holloway got it spot on after the red card. Immediate substitution sacrificing a forward player for a defender. We never really troubled them after that

We're not out of the woods though are we?

We probably need 20 more points this season to stay up.

Show me where they're coming from.

It was always both, but (whereas I can’t prove they wouldn’t have) we’d have never came from 2 down against port vale to draw or from 2-1 down against Cambridge to win when they went down to 10 after the epic clusterraspberry at Shrewsbury under JD
