Still makes me sad to think we had Maynard in for training early last season but couldn't sign him because we had Nicholls and Miller instead. :ffs:

Had Maynard packed his shooting boots, this would have been a very different story. I thought that was an open entertaining game with 2 teams really going for it(well, in Mansfield's case, until about the 70 minute mark). Both sides missed great chances, both sides hit the post. I felt we...

Been well on top for most of the game, but we keep seeing moves break down because of our insistence of chipping in crosses rather than trying to pick them apart on the ground. Both sides look fast and confident on the ball, very shaky off it. Mansfield hitting it forward at every opportunity...

Well, they have been paid as per an EFL statement, so no issues from me about them playing tomorrow. I do hope they can get the club sold ASAP.

Woah, you're getting the wrong end of the stick. I'm not questioning their actions last weekend. I'm just curious what's changed this week? What assurances have they been given exactly then? I don't blame them for taking a stand last week. It helped raise their issue to the highest levels and...

Huh? Why, have they been paid or something? I'm not being funny, but the stand they took last week will look pretty hollow if they suddenly are mentally recovered enough to play this weekend and no money has received.

Jesus dude, this stopped being funny like 3 posts ago, give it a rest. Dangerous fixture this. Yes, the form book says we should win, but Mansfield in my eyes are a talented team playing very badly. Can't write off a team with Maynard, Rose and Cook upfront. I'll take any sort of win, sets us...

Dear me, the Patriots are never far away from controversy are they? Do we believe their version of what happened or were they stupid enough to get caught cheating again?

This weekend is creeping ever closer. I wonder if the players are going to continue their hold out?

That's not true, we're doing well.:dk:

Everything set up for us to blow that game, but thank god we didn't. Small, quiet crowd, pressure all on us, wet and cold, lost our main striker after 30 minutes, but still came through. First replay won in almost 20 years, first win over a non league team and first time reaching the 3rd round...

I will be furious if they lose tonight. Don't care how bad the performance is, just win. Simple as that. Everyone was excusing the 2nd half in the first game, saying "we're in the hat". Fair enough, well win the replay then. Eastleigh aren't great away from home, have picked up 1 point from 2...

You can be flippant all you like. The fact is, it wasn't postponed. This wasn't a frozen or waterlogged pitch, it wasn't floodlight failure etc etc. It was the Macc players refusing to play. As he rightly said, they could have played. I understand why they didn't, but the fact is, they refused...

January will separate the runners from the riders. I can us losing at least 2 players in January. I also reckon Cheltenham might lose Broom, who was rumoured to be scouted by Posh. The Swindon/Bradford/Doyle saga will be fascinating. I know Bradford are tight to the wall with their FFP, but...

Despite media reports claiming the Alex would be seeking 3 points for Saturday's cancellation, that now won't be happening. Probably just some angry frustrations on Friday leaking out, but thankfully calmer heads have prevailed. Although we now want any new signings and their 2 suspended...

Mansfield are going to fire Dempster and we're going to get the dreaded new manager bounce next week, I can feel it.

Is there a bigger one man team than Swindon right now? They are totally screwed if they lose Doyle in January or to a long term injury at any stage.

Hmm. The owner is in advanced negotiations to sell up according to the owner himself. Any idea on who the new guy might be?

Frustrating, but I understand the Macc players position on this. I expect the EFL will tell us to replay the fixture in the new year, which isn't great, but it shouldn't hit us that badly. We won't get the points, there would be uproar from most of the other top half teams if we did.

Ah yes, Crewe and it's famous canals........
