Regardless of what went on before, keeper shoulda put that first goal round the post.

I like the managers reaction. He looked and sounded furious, and yet gave reasoned answers. Not just angry for the sake of it. Like he said we are on to something. From the highlights it seems like we were ok against a decent team. Maybe the keeper could’ve pushed that shot around the post, but at full stretch it’s not that easy. The unforgivable part for me is letting a player just waltz past 3 or 4 defenders in injury time and then not to mark the guy in the 6 yard box. Some good stuff going forward but obvious problems still exist at the back.

Relaxed into the feeling of 'job done' which at 2-0 is always risky.

I thought it was a great save by Marek Stech. The shot is deflected right into the corner and nearly goes over the line. Stech actually scoops the ball out to stop it going in. Freeze frame it at 1.34.

The main culprit was Farrend Rawson losing Josh Coulson who he had been marking at the corner. Rawson realises this too late.

I think he's done well to even get to it... never mind palming it which ever direction.

But he puts it right at the feet of a centre forward Infront of an open net 1yd out TTF. That's not a good save. Thats a bad save.

Could have and should have put it out for a corner.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I think you are being very harsh Arsene. Stech had to scoop the ball out to stop it crossing the line. He did very well to get to it. It was not possible to put it out for a corner as the ball was on the line when he gets a glove on it.

Not at all impressed with our keeper, the ball he dropped in the first half nearly let the O's in.

3 changes that would benefit us are :-

O'Driscoll in for Meyanese
Maynard in for Bowery
McLaughlin in for Benning

at least stronger on paper .... i hope

There was no way that Stech could have put that ball around the post.

Literally all he could do was stop it from going in. We had 5 players in the box who failed to compete for the cross and failed to react to the rebound. That's where the blame lies.

A new season, but nice to see the usual Mansfield Town fan way of pulling apart a young player. Menayese is young, he will make mistakes, but he has massive potential and needs to play games not be pulled apart every time he makes a mistake.

O's first was mightyly lucky. Coulson's effort would've gone wide without the deflection,.

Agree that maybe benning would benefit from a spell on the sidelines (would possibly motivate him to fight for his place) however I think your totally wrong on the other 2.
Bowery was decent yesterday....stuck in the peno well & never stopped working/tracking back for the team, Maynard would never be seen putting a shift in like that.

Meyanese lost his man for the goal but you can't say we hadn't looked solid up until the last 10 mins.

Bowery had a very good game yesterday. His tracking back was immense as was Cookies.

[kevin kents tasce]

A strange one re Bowery. His work rate was exceptional.and in addition to.him.holding the ball up well he tracked back consistently.

My only issue is that he offers very little goal threat.

I suppose it is personal preference, but I want the strikers to be goalscorers first and defenders second.

[part time pete]

I would imagine that the average field position of Bowery would be farther from their goal than Charsley , just like last week.

Will put it in my stats piece again, just waiting for l stats to update as it caught me out a little last week. Should be out tomorrow at some point.

Its MENAYESE for christs sake

[gazza1988]

I can see Bowery being a bit like Tom Curtis. Looks like he does nowt but once out the team we look don't quite look the same. If you get my meaning.

As for Stech. That is the fault of the defenders. A keeps job at a basic level is to keep the ball out of the net. He did that.

Orient did a similar thing for our 2nd. They failed to mark Cook, left him in acres of space. It happens. The difference to our is our keeper kept out the initial shot, their keeper was in no man's land.

[one f in mansfield]

The manager says we should be putting pressure on centre halves instead of playing for time in the corners , Players playing from their own Hymn sheet for the last ten minutes .So when we are 2 up , why is he not screaming at the players when we have one player in their box for a corner ?.The players switched off and got punished but the tactics come from the management .Its an empty stadium and a manager can easily get his ideas across to the players .

[geoffhill]

Sometimes players just don't listen.

[gazza1988]

If it's not his instructions then it's his captain's, surely?

[sunray]

If we believe Coughlan for the next game we can expect the captain to loss the arm band and two players dropped. If not then he might as well let the players run the games in future. Surely they need a practise session on getting messages through to players on the pitch not just stand there open mouthed.

The Cowley brothers are still looking for a club

In an empty stadium I think Evans would have got his thoughts over to the players on the pitch.

[Conker]

Incredibly harsh viewpoint.

Let’s not forget he’s still a rookie.
