"The Stags went very close again after 88 minutes. Boateng lifted the ball out to Quinn on the left touchline, Quinn found McLaughlin who put in a lovely cross to Oates on the edge of the six yard box. Oates turned it goalwards but the keeper made a magnificent save palming the ball up on the line and catching it as it dropped down. Oates unlucky on this occasion, I don’t think he could have done any more."

I thought Rhys Oates should have scored especially if he had gone for the ball with his left foot.

"Salford were ahead with the first attack of the game. Brandon Thomas-Asante got away from McLaughlin and slid a lovely ball forward for Callum Hendry to get in behind Harbottle and roll the ball past Pym into the right corner of the net from 16 yards. No chance for Pym, but the defending from McLaughlin and Harbottle could have been better."

I think Jordan Bowery could have done better as well. He could have tried to throw his body across Hendry to block the shot.

He’s not a defender.

This is when stags are at their best, not the greatest performance on Saturday but we made good chances. I can’t help but feel what cost us the game was the desire to shoe horn Bowery into the side even though it cost more effective players playing in their proper positions.

Ok, who would you have played at centre back if McLaughlin played at LWB.
Those accustomed to privilege may feel that equality is oppression.

Would have started with Hewitt, and would go with a back 3 next week of O’Toole, Harbottle and Hewitt. Gordon and Macca on the wings and play Hawkins up front. All just my opinion however!!

from my report: Elliott Hewitt wasn’t fit enough to start having played just 30 minutes of pre-season

If MacLaughlin was literally the only player we could put on a pitch, he should still be played at LWB. Stick 3 guys on each others shoulders in a long coat at CB if it means MacLaughlin plays at LWB, I dont care how it's done - he's no more of a CB than anyone else on the pitch, so why him there? He played a part in conceding the first goal. Play Clarke just ahead of JJ and Harbottle? Play Hewitt for the first 30 mins and see how he goes? Play Cooper for the first half and see how he goes? Play a 442? Play Bowery there? There are countless alternatives than having the leagues best wing back at Centre Back, jesus christ. I still haven't come down off the ceiling about it.

Quite a baffling decision, still can't get my head around it.

These opinions are valid if all players were match fit, Perch , Law , Wallace out injured and others coming back from injury and not match fit.
The team was not at the races but they took their chances, we fluffed ours losing away from home quite common in football.

His opinions are still valid even if you don’t agree with them.

from the pitchside footage, I think my original description was fair
