Creepy crawley up the leaguey scorefred

[BH_Stag]

Frustrating that Reed isn’t in the squad after being in it last week.

[yorkshire stag]

if that’s not two up top at home today he wants his bumps feeling

[Cleveland_Stag]

That team is objectively bad. Playing a wing back formation when Bowery and Akins are your wing backs is so daft. Our lack of centre back depth is haunting us yet again - Harbottle out, meaning Hewitt (who’s our best crosser of a football by far) has to go to centre back.

Can’t see us performing well today or creating many chances at all, so just got to hope we keep a clean sheet and nick this from a set piece or something.

Again no Reed or Maris. Don't understand Wallace over Boateng, especially at home against Crawley.

[Cleveland_Stag]

Why isn’t Reed in the squad either after he was on the bench last week? We are incredibly frustrating. Him nor Maris will be ready to start next weekend either will they.

[Chrisuknottm]

His default position is naturally defensive and the injury list is his get out of jail card rather than just going for it and having a go

[Johnny H]

Looks like another 5311 formation....at home too with 5 strikers in the squad
Not the side I would pick and I will again say that Jason Law and James Gale should both be starting.

Come On You Stags......

[MTFC Man]

The return of Quinn will be big, hopefully can put us on the front foot. Exactly the team I would of put out with the players available although it is frustrating to have to play Hewitt at Centre back but we don’t have the ability to play a back 4 when Wallace is our only available Defensive midfielder.
It’s harsh on Gale but don’t think you can start him over either Oates or Kiellor Dunn.

Jason Law has clearly done something wrong to be left on the bench game after game despite so many others being out of form and devoid of ideas

Most managers default position is not to lose. The injury list is fact not a get out of jail card.
Have to say though not the team I would have picked but I haven’t managed for years and played for England

Christ.

[Cleveland_Stag]

How many home games in a row have we had multiple youth team players on the bench after they’d played the morning of the game? It’s so sad

[Cleveland_Stag]

Again no Reed or Maris. Don't understand Wallace over Boateng, especially at home against Crawley.

Wallace will be subbed off at half time yet again when we’ve not scored.

[Costastag]

With the options available what else can he do ,good enough to get three points for me

[gazza1988]

Bradford 1-0 up after 6 mins.

1-1 now from the spot.

Grimsby gone 2-1 up

Bradford equalise after the hour mark.

Few more options in the first place ?

[Spiritater]

Probably because Boating couldn't tackle a rice pudding.

[gazza1988]

Bradford 1-0 up after 6 mins.

Bradford take the lead. 3-2

Thats irrelevant now ,i get the critic but its gone if we manage to get promoted i will laud him if not then its not my decision ,we just have to back him in the moment

He's been poor can't argue that, but Wallace can't pass and is too slow to be effective defensively

[gazza1988]

How tall is the Crawley keeper? Towers over everyone!

[MTFCMusings]

Four at the back with a diamond it looks like, or possible 4-2-3-1

[gazza1988]

Stags throw in on the left wing 10 yards from byline. Bowery (at left back today) takes it. It's headed back to him from a Crawley player. Tries to take on Gordon but puts it out of play for a goal kick.

[gazza1988]

Keillor-dunn find Quinn on the left wing he passes inside to an unmarked Clarke. He controls and turns and fires into the net.

Stags lead 1-0
