I think Coughlan will be a good manager for us if he gets enough time. He's been my favourite out of Evans, Flitcroft and Dempster. He seems to know what he wants on the playing side while being fairly likeable but not taking any nonsense. It will take time for him to rebuild the squad though...
Sweeney is mostly okay. Preston last season was a red card or mistake waiting to happen. I still sometimes think about that tackle he did against Cambridge at home. It stands out as one of the worst pieces of play I've ever seen from a Mansfield player.
I am surprised we kept Benning given that White and Preston are gone. I put them in the same category. Good players but form/injury issues. I thought Pearce might have done enough to prove himself worthy of another deal. Danny Rose seems to have matured/got his act together over the last season...
I'm finding working from home difficult. It seems to be much more challenging at home and I'm struggling to adapt and to separate work and home and switch off.
My brother is off with 80 per cent pay and I feel that he is the lucky one right now!!
When it goes into lockdown the authorities should take notes on these people who are blantantly ignoring public health advice so they can prioritise who to offer the ICU space and ventilator treatment. As they don't care about others, I don't see why they should drain any more capacity.
It does it appear that the supply lines are okay. Supermarkets were much better today although I can't remember the last time I saw any chicken.
My real worry is the amount of people who are not taking social distancing seriously or think that they are but aren't. A lot of people just seem to...
There'd have to be some circumstances where it was okay to buy in larger quantities, for example where someone is representing an organisation or a community of people who would otherwise be unable to obtain those supplies like in your case. However, I say make people go through the process of...
Are a significant number of people actually hoarding in massive quantities? I know people are definitely panic buying but I am reminded of the kulaks who were accused of hoarding the grain, but really there just wasn't enough grain. I have no idea how supermarkets maintain their stocks, but...
I have completed this.
My gut says commercialisation has probably improved the standard of football as the top clubs have tended to buy in talent from abroad and some of the youngsters have been forced down the pyramid, although it's very difficult to compare the quality without re-watching the...
You would think given that this place is run for profit that the service provided would be much more professional. Nope!
From the brief look I had on that board, the site of the competitor (that isn't run for profit) appears to have barely any downtime and looks and runs much more smoothly. It...
I think this is a very important game after our best performance of the season on Saturday. Another win and some of the optimism might return, but a loss would really bring everyone back down to earth.
There was a thread on our forum about a professional footballer coming out as gay on Twitter in the summer, but that player backtracked on the reveal. There was also a rumour on our forum (on the same thread) that several years back, one of our players was gay and the dressing room was aware...
I thought the whole team was excellent. If I was searching really hard for criticism, I might say that Bobby made a poor decision to catch that back-pass from Pearce and that Charsley and Hamilton could have been ruthless when they got into good positions.
It was way better than anything I've...
