And drop Walker?

Tippy Tappy Football wrote:I know Conker. It is a brave manager that subs his top scorer but if you were looking at it from the standpoint of who is playing better then arguably Nicky Ajose was having a better game. However Tyler has scored in quite a few games this season when he was not playing particularly well.

No drop Ajose, Walker and Grant cannot be touched currently. Still would be harsh on Ajose but CJ is a star man.

I would play Jones at RWB. It is a close call between Ajose & CJ, but right now I would keep starting with Ajose & Walker as the front two. CJ would make a great impact-sub for the last half an hour.
Walker has a habit of scoring late goals, so I wouldn't take him off!
Martin Shaw wrote:I made it 15 Tippy, including the 3 goals:
The Stags were ahead after 8 minutes with a goal from Jorge Grant, his 4th in the last 3 games, placing the ball left footed into the bottom right corner of the net from 11 yards after great work from Nicky Ajose to get in a shot from the right that was parried by the keeper.
Then a minute later, Hamilton’s throw-in found Walker who sent a left footed shot well wide.
Mansfield went close to scoring on 35 minutes when Grant’s free kick from 31 yards was just wide of the post hitting the back stanchion. The free kick came after brilliant skill from Grant himself in the build-up to winning the free kick when Walker was fouled.
A minute later, a great move involving Mellis, and Tyler Walker’s shot was deflected wide with the keeper completely wrong-footed.
And straight away in the second half, a superb one-two between Hamilton and Grant on the right, with Hamilton’s on-target shot being blocked.
On 51 minutes, Grant won the ball and played to Bishop who found Walker on the right, whose cross-cum-shot was wide of the left post.
A minute later, Preston’s high ball forward presented a half-chance to Ajose who tried to head over the keeper but the keeper saved above his head.
On 57 minutes, the Stags were in front. Jorge Grant’s corner was controlled beautifully by the groin of Krystian Pearce to send the ball goalwards, Callum Evans tried to clear off the line, his clearance hit Fiacre Kelleher and rebounded back towards the net. Pearce claimed the goal, his first goal of the season, and if we’re being generous, which of course we are to “The Chief”, it might have flicked off him as it went in!
On 62 minutes, Hamilton laid off to Grant, who cut inside and his left footed shot was just wide of the right post.
On 64 minutes, Neal Bishop continued to surge forward despite being held back for a good 15 yards by powerful Macclesfield substitute Brice Ntambwe. The resulting free kick from 24 yards was fired over the bar by Grant.
On 72 minutes, Smith pouched a cross and got a break moving by bowling the ball out, which culminated in Tyler Walker’s great shot from 20 yards superbly tipped over the bar by keeper O’Hara.
On 81 minutes, Benning crossed from the left and Danny Rose headed well wide from the edge of the box.
On 84 minutes, Benning’s free kick floated into the box was held underneath his bar by the keeper.
And from the resulting corner, Mansfield sealed the game with another goal from a corner. Mal Benning’s corner from the right was headed down and goalwards by Matt Preston, it was half-blocked by sub Ryan Lloyd and might have been going in, but Tyler Walker took no chances and stabbed it over the line from 2 yards. Keeper O’Hara tried to save it but it was already a foot over the line before he pulled it back and the linesman immediately signalled the goal. Mansfield had a little bit of bad luck at Forest Green with a refereeing decision, but had a bit of good luck here, because Walker was a fraction offside as Preston headed the ball goalwards and therefore the goal should have been ruled out. No matter, it was Walker’s 20th goal of a fabulous season for him.
On 90+1 minutes, a long ball forward for Danny Rose, who got past one defender and shot at the keeper.
