The difference was a couple of bits of sloppy defending by the Stags and clinical finishing by Paul Mullin who is having the best season of his career. Wes Hoolahan was also still twinkling around in midfield and I thought Harrison Dunk had a good game at left back.
The Stags got caught out on the counter attack for the first goal and this came just after Jamie Reid could have put Jordan Bowery through on goal after making a good run but his final ball was poor. I partly blame Harry Charsley, Ryan Sweeney Stephen McLaughlin and James Perch for the first two goals. For the first goal, Farrend Rawson gets involved with a wrestling match on the halfway line and James Perch gets caught coming inside to help him out. Harrison Dunk runs into the space and Harry Charsley fails to track him as he failed to track Declan John on Tuesday night. Ryan Sweeney and Stephen McLaughlin then leave Paul Mullin completely unmarked who scores with an excellent first time finish. Lethal. The goal came completely out of the blue.
For the second goal, Stephen McLaughlin should have done better with the defensive header from Paul Mullin's cross. He made two good defensive headers in the first half along with a good penalty area interception. However, Ryan Sweeney and Harry Charsley then make the fatal mistake of leaving League 2's top scorer completely unmarked as they wander back across the area. To be fair to James Perch, Ryan Sweeney is the closest to Paul Mullin near the touchline when Paul Mullin crosses the ball so James Perch gets back into the middle of the area to cover for him. Liam O'Neil then just chips the ball back to the far post where Mullin is completely unmarked. Ryan Sweeney then stops running and sticks his hand in the air to claim offside instead of running back to the goal line to try and make a clearance or a block. I also partly blame Aidan Stone for the goal as there is no way that Mullin from that tight angle should be able to easily side foot the ball into the far corner. Ryan Sweeney and Farrend Rawson should also have done better and blocked Knibbs' shot for the third goal.
I thought our two best players were George Maris and Ollie Clarke. Stephen Quinn and Jordan Bowery also played reasonably well and Stephen McLaughlin played well in the first half. He has become our main source of crosses in Kellan Gordon's absence. He then made the errors for the goals outlined above. However we are mainly leaking goals down our right hand side with six of the last eight goals conceded coming down the right. James Perch and Harry Charsley together on the right are a defensive weak link. James Perch did make one good defensive header at the back post in the 2nd half.
Jamie Reid had a poor game up front and struggled to keep the ball. He and Charsley seemed to be the main culprits for losing possession. Jamie Reid also missed a sitter in the 2nd half with the header from James Perch's cross after a nice little dribble by Tyrese Sinclair. Tyrese had a good little cameo appearance and deserved to score with his free kick. Jason Law played the one nice through ball where Bowery went down.
The pitch does not help us at all and does not suit our footballing game. That was particularly demonstrated when George Maris and Stephen McLaughlin were trying to pass their way out of the mud in the corner at the end. It resulted in George Maris conceding the free kick which resulted in the spell of pressure for the third goal.
I was hoping for a tilt at the play offs but injuries to Kellan Gordon, George Lapslie and Oliver Sarkic have exposed the lack of depth in our squad. We just need to aim to get to 50 points as soon as possible and then reassess the situation.

Really good summary Tippy. Pretty much agree with it all.

He already seems to have Lucas Akins lined up.
