Does seem very odd this close season some have gone early for sure but considering pre season starts next week for many a lot do seem a bit light on troops.
I know County have a subscription of defectors coming from the foreign legion but many others just seem to have let it slip their mind.
But until you've sat down and read a teamsheet that lists your front 2 as Rhead and Oliver you won't understand that Green and Westcarr looks like Pele & Maradona, Messi & Ronaldo or dare I even say Richards & Bingham.
Comfortable with 16th, very happy with 12th, ecstatic with 10th upward.
Don't think we'll be anything above mid table but considering how bad we where last season some kind of progress and better football is all most stags fans will want.
Hand on heart I cannot see us heading for the struggle...
Seems odd to me the main league 2 experts are the ones who have been out of it for a few years.
We have seen many good teams do a lot worse than they should have and a lot of bad teams do better than they should. At this stage would be ridiculous to pass judgement on any other squad right now...
I have never seen Reid have a good game anywhere if he's the best player in League 2 then I'm tee total.
Sure fire way to get him scoring a hat trick at the mill but can only comment on what I've seen.
If Curle sticks to his plan you'll be fine if he loses faith and the plot it can all unravel very quickly hopefully for you guys he's learned this lesson.
Any right minded and realistic Stags fan would be happy with more entertainment, some actual football and a finish anywhere around 16th as progress.
You can't call that a success but progress is a key word this season. All that said right minded and realistic are not terms often linked to our...
I'm by no means touting us as promotion contenders or pointing any fingers but does seem our elderly neighbours are ignoring recent history on teams dropping from league 1, especially when they think they think they are above all this.
See you've fallen into the trap, he is in the squad (they keep it on the quiet to prevent the team hotel, bus etc being mobbed) He also played the full 90 he is just so damn quick and can find space where no one else can that you didn't actually see him.
He scored 4 although they went...
Murray is clearly open to give an opportunity to younger lads with a point to prove rather than the usual merry go round of L2 players. I'm not saying it will pay off big time but I for one am happier with this than overpaying the previous bunch of hoofers.
As someone said other than 5 or 6...
Hartlepool have signed Carl Magnay from Grimsby. Obviously a minor coup opposed to The Bingham!!
I don't understand why all teams say "highly rated" for players like this, never heard of the lad but if you're playing for Grimsby at 26 how highly rated can you be exactly??
So Trapdoor if you are a trust member and effectively a shareholder do you get to see more granular detail or do you just have good faith in your nominated officers at the club?
Personally I hope for a balanced view I'm not naive enough to think we will get absolute full disclosure across the board because what kind of normal company would do this. But at the same time we don't want to be treated like mushrooms either.
You will always get the usual bit from your...
That's great stuff and all sounds positive for you guys and a very sustainable model genuinely pleased that's the case. It's good to see a lot more clubs are taking this sustainable route. When our owner came in he splashed his cash to get us promoted but some pretty harsh lessons where...
I may be being a bit slow here Cambridge fans but if they are excluding the Man Utd money where has the additional 1.5 to 2 million come from? Have attendances gone up a lot last season or just better running of the club? Just seems a massive leap, our club is doing more commercially than ever...
We heard he was interested in joining us Sunday night but only forum talk as his family are very local to us.
No offence to Exeter fans but its not often Mansfield is considered a geographical advantage to anywhere never mind Devon so hope we make the most of it.
