Not looking good for Oldham and Scunny. As much as I dislike both of them, I'd rather be playing them than not

 

[BarraMatt]

Stags have been immense second half ,going up

Yep been impressed with you. Good side, top three.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

FGR sound about what some of their fans were saying on here before the match.

First half early on we had a foothold in the game and the commentators were optimistic that 'these can be got at' and then they've gotten stronger and now the commentators are just talking about how poor we are and how good they've been.

Yep, you seemed to be creating situations then squandering them, whereas while we're by no means super solid we do make more of what we create by and large and that's been the story this season.

 

[hellogregory]

As soon as the OG went in, the ref might as well have blown for full time. We are utterly pathetic. I’m absolutely ashamed of this shower of rotten shit for a football team.

 

[EricSabin]

Currently sat on my arse pissed at Sutton

Nothing game booooooring

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Colchester rubbing it in.

 

[Conker]

Another blatant yellow card for Banks waved away, this referee

 

[valefan16]

Good point considering the players available and fully deserved. Orient didn’t threaten at all and in fairness neither did we.

0-0 pretty much sums it up.

 

[Conker]

7 wins in a row now, handled the sending off well and came out deserved winners.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

On that showing, they were 2 mid table teams slugging it out.
No chance top 7 for either.
Only 2 decent players on show, hussey and ogie.
Stops the rot

 

[Pablosammy]

7 clean sheets in the last 8 games, and another solid workmanlike win. Not pretty, but effective.

Crawley looked solid and broke our play up nicely but failed to really create anything. We still look wasteful up front, but deserved the win.

Big game coming up, but I don't think we'll catch FGR so it's not the critical 6 pointer it could have been.

 

[hellogregory]

As easy a 130 odd quid as I’ll ever win. Wish I’d lumped more than the £200 at 4/6 on the home win. I guess the recent clean sheets put a very small hint of doubt in my head, stopping me putting a grand on it.

 

[Cas]

Fulltime and 0-0. Another fantastic away support let down by zero quality on the pitch. Really hope Adams gets the boot soon. We've looked incredibly poor against the bottom sides. Worst football I've seen since I started following in the early nineties.

 

[Huntsman94]

Big win that away at Crawley especially with Sutton, Northampton and Swindon dropping points. Big game against the league leaders next week but today’s win means less pressure on that one for us. Get in!!

Cattenacio Rovers.

 

[kieran_vale]

It was an absolute abortion of a game of football but to be honest we should be far happier with that than Orient should be. Both keepers had about as easy an afternoon as they could ever have asked for.

 

[Kauto Star]

Another poor away performance from our lot.

Mid table finish beckons again for us.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Well terrible second half after being comfortable first half, this group of players are appalling I’ve hated them since most of them were signed in 2020 and before. This isn’t a Bradford City team I’ll remember in 5 years similar to the ones from 01-12. January won’t get us where we want to be.

Rupp out he’s got to go down as the worst owner in our modern history.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Two teams with absolute zero quality today at Pools, both stunk the house down.

We gave away a stupid penalty and equalised with a peach of a shot.

Thank god for shite like Oldham and Scunny, they'll keep all our heads above water this season.

 

[Moomin]

Big win for us today at Walsall. Dieng and Diabate scoring with headers. Menayese sent off for Walsall which helped.

Only downside is Zanzala going off injured in the first half. He walked off so hopefully not too bad.

 

[Spanishstag]

Down to 10 men second half ,barely noticed with this team bowery runs for britain up front when we attack ,back when we defend ,cloughie is brewing something special with us

 

[chipmunx]

Mansfield were a decent but dirty side, clinical in the box and the type that will probably go up.
The ref didn't help matters by being inconsistent - Didn't book anyone for ages then booked White for a challenge that wasn't as bad as the Mansfield one 30 seconds earlier. Rawson who got sent of was just stupid - the ref had started to get get card happy and his 2nd yellow was just lazy play. What it did do though was put some pressure on the ref who the bottled what should have been a straight red for the Mansfield No25(?) Ryan Stirk who clearly elbowed White right on half-time. saying that Mansfield would probably held on for a 2-1 win even with 9 men.

Agree 100% if it wasn’t for Oldham and Scunthorpe we would be nailed on to go down. League performances are just not good enough.

We are completely void of any ideas when in possession, we panic then get it out wide to be whipped in aimlessly to nobody!

Shite

 

[AdamStag]

Absolutely delighted with tony performance, brilliant.

I don’t think we will agree over the ref as he was pathetic. we’ve done what we’ve done the last few months and that’s a cracking result.

Barrow are limited but you’re too good to go down, you’ll be like i several years ago. you’ll always remain 4-7 points clear and have no issues.

You’re good enough at home to collect enough points to be fine.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

tony performance

Bit of theatrical diving?

 

[The Terminator]

Considering the circumstances both clubs found themselves in for various reasons, 0-0 was always the likely result.

Neither keeper had a proper save to make.

Having said that, the second half performance attacking wise from ourselves was poor - not the first time that’s happened to us this season, we just don’t win narrow games, we either blow teams away quickly or fall short in narrow games.

Defensively I think both managers will be happy though. Both teams I thought defended well.
