MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (a)

[Snowflake Royal]

I’m sure the groundsmen have their reasons but I don’t get why they’re adding MORE water to this quagmire.

And yet, it still looks 100 times better than Vale's pitch the other week

[stealthpapes]

Mud starting to come through along the flanks

[Snowflake Royal]

Time for my regular... I do love Mansfield's colours.

[Snowflake Royal]

Real shame that bounced in front of Kelvin and popped up awkwardly on him

[stealthpapes]

Oh and the goal mouths will cut up.

Right, watching the game now

[Orion1871]

Mansfield still got the killer up front then.

[Snowflake Royal]

Ooof so nearly for Savage.

[Orion1871]

Ffs Savage.

[bcubed]

Ooof so nearly for Savage.

Has to do better than that

[WestYorksRoyal]

We'll score here. They have more of the ball, but we're much more dangerous with it.

[Orion1871]

Stupidity from Burns there.

[Brogue]

Real end to end game. Could go either way this.

[Snowflake Royal]

They're certainly giving us huge space in behind at the back.

How have they just got a freekick for the keeper winning the bal fine and their defender falling over from having bearhugged Kelvin nd throwing him 10 feet?

[Snowflake Royal]

That was a foul on Kelvin. No one giving him an option too.

[Orion1871]

Normal service resumed for Kelvin there. Bless him.

[Royalwaster]

Why is Young not even on bench?

[Royal Ginger]

Williams having a good game.

[Snowflake Royal]

Never a corner

[Orion1871]

No Reading, that is not it. Especially on this pitch.

[Snowflake Royal]

So brainless... I'll play a shit short freekick that puts my team mate under immediate pressure so he has to hoof badly clear straight to Mansfield.

If they just played slightly smarter we'd have far more possession. Or even if we just set up to go long and practiced it for accuracy, but most our long balls go nowhere near our players. Or we go long to 1 vs 3 and not near the 1.
