League Two Stags (2) v Rovers (2)

[Ian]

Ohhh, double save from Saunders shots. Should have scored. Rovers breaking with maximum effect here, Saunders causing them all sorts of problems with his pace.

 

[bigmart]

The game is quite stretched, our pace is causing problems on the break but Saunders really should have scored there.

 

[Ian]

ffs

 

[Sparky]

Shocking goal to concede by rovers 1–1

Yep, concentration went completely. Need to focus. Such a shame as we have been doing really well but as bimart says, the game is quite stretched. Should be some more goals in this one.

 

[Keith Hill (Bolton)]

Aaaaghh!
Not a good one to concede!

Poor defending from both Morris and Wood to let the cross come in.

 

[Ian]

Morris just gave up!

 

[Sparky]

Pleased we got in to the break at 1-1. Encouraging we’ve created a few half chances and the goal but need to try and get apter more involved. Defending well apart from their goal but will be under more pressure second half.
Turnbull and Morris both on a yellow need to be careful

 

[bigmart]

Morris just gave up!

Yes very poor effort from Morris.

We need to tighten up more in the second half, I would like to see Taylor on for Saunders in the second half.

 

[Ian]

Hugely competitive game though, much better than the usual away dross we have to suffer.

 

[Higgy 2]

I saw Belhouanan getting ready at before half time. Maybe Morris off, move Wood up to replace him....and Turnbull to LB to take car of the big no. 9 on the right?

 

[Sparky]

23% possession for us but 9 shots to their 8

 

[bigmart]

Leake on for Wood, yet another injury

A shame as apart from their goal tonight he’s been excellent in recent games.

 

[Sparky]

A bit worried about leake to be honest

 

[Boz]

The last time Rovers scored at Mansfield in the league we lost 6-1. Hope no repeat!
We played well first half conceded a poor goal and looked ragged for the rest of the half. Turnbull’s booking was harsh but Morris seemed to have lost his cool a bit after the error for the equaliser. Wood off injured, he was playing well. Hard to call but still think favours the home team.

 

[Sparky]

Apter at it again!! 2-1

 

[bigmart]

Get in you beauty
