Disagree with you Nick Southall that Nsiala is a loyal servant of the club, he f**ked off when the money came in for him and is only here because no one wants him. Play Pierre, Nurse or Josh Feeney please and bring Taylor Perry back. Wasn't it 'Gods will' that took him to Ipswich? Well what we're seeing now is definitely the work of the devil. |

Good first half , deserved the lead , once again , we lost the game in the dressing room at half time , Predicable that we would come out second half and be on the back foot , made a couple of too late negative subs and then roll over and concede a winner , like last week , plan a great , no plan b

I have little doubt that there will be calls for Mr Hurst's dismissal, and I honestly do understand the reasons, but - and yes, I always include a "but" because I realise that I am only offering an opinion - I cannot support such views; for reasons that are probably irrational and possibly fuelled by nostalgia, I do not believe that Paul Hurst should be offered up as a scapegoat - a sacrificial lamb - for the mistakes of others.

Could Hoole play in central defence. Can we bring in an out of contract central defender. We’re getting desperate now.

I know this will be controversial...but Shipley knows where the net is...i would be tempted to start him up top. I think I need to go lay down after typing that 🤣

Surely something needs to change 343 for me, come on PH why not. Not getting any draws is killing us Burton who haven’t won a game have drawn four. Big big week for us on the training ground looks like we may have yet more injuries to contend with aswell.

Pointless to get rid of Hurst. It's his team, wpuld someone else be able to get better out of his team?? Most give 110% every week. It's just a lack of quality due to budget. |

All I remember from Tom was one occasion he picked up the ball , made a good couple of touches as he advanced towards goal , he had 2 options , one to put in Perry , another to set himself up , he took a bad touch , and then tried to put Perry in and it was too late and nothing came of it , his only real moment |

Another game another defeat in a game we should have got something out of. I have said it before but as long as we have Lloyd as our main goal threat we are not going to score enough goals. How many points does Nsiala need to cost us before we see him as 4th choice. Lots of positives to take first half and some real good signs that we are starting to Gel as a team. Concerning lack of leadership after we conceded, game became scruffy and after the winner went in we could not string 2 passes together. We have said on here after a loss that its not games like that which will define our season but that is not the case today. These games are vital if we want to survive and I fear the way the match panned out will knock an already fragile confidence within the team. Yes I agree, it is sickening to lose to a goal in the 86 minute |

We are improving but sometimes you just need a bit of luck and we are not getting any. When things go wrong and area of concern for me is the lack of leadership, confidence is low . We failed to capitalize on our early lead Injuries have an impact as well. . |

All the shape went in the second half. Any defender who slides in a tackle in the pen box should know better. The forward was always going to go down. How on earth Lloyd missed the header to go 2-1 up.
We should have buried them in the first half, they were all over the place.
It’s not an excuse but the ref was pro Mansfield. If we had been wasting time in the final 15 like they did we would have ended up without a team.

Feels like a devastating blow losing feeney and having to bring Nsiala back in. I'll definitely take a point, at least they concede just as much as us. 0-0 then. I really had hoped to only see Nisala and Pierre on the bench for the rest of the season. |

Such a disappointing time to concede, but mostly disappointing as there was absolutely no need to Nsiala to dive in, but if you do you've got to get it absolutely spot on, and his trailing leg clearly made significant contact with the Mansfield player. Hoping we don't pay the price for not scoring more when we were on top. Another game he has cost us. |

Absolutely take 1-0, and the performance for half 25 mins or so a huge bonus. But concerns that despite that relative dominance they could only score from a fairly large Mansfield error, and didn't really create any genuine chances. Also that town have had 3 yellows and Savin down briefly with no keeper on the bench. That said, mostly a really good half. Intensity right up there and working strongly as a unit. Ojo and Gilliead have started all 3 games together since signing and you can see why, both huge workers. Crossing needs to improve a bit, but also a shout out for improved set pieces. Ojo and Benning good delivery I thought. Did I hear Stuart Dunn say that it was a choice not to name Young on the bench? Seems a huge risk to me. And J Feeney misses out due to a Hamstring issue. Same muscle that kept him out when he joined, which surely is a concern, as Nsiala has been the weak point again today for me Castledine also had a free header 6 yards out but did the harder thing of putting the header off target. If it wasn't for one of the best last defender tackles Ojo (I think) would have been through. Couple of decent crosses that deserved a better finish. Few half decent shots from distance well dealt with by their keeper. Like last week we have made some decent chances and should be a lot more comfortable at half time. We just need to make sure we don't sit deep. Winning the midfield battle and stopping Mansfield getting into our final 3rd was the reason we were so dominate. If we invite them forward they look like they have the quality up top to punish our unconfident defence. You must be psychic |

In the pre match thread I did say I felt that town could get a draw out of this, extremely frustrating to have period were we played well but failed to put the game to bed.
]A point thrown awa,yet again defending contributed to us losing this game.

Two schools of thought.
Play three centre halves in a back five in the hope that when one of the liabilities (Pierre or Toto) inevitably drops a howler, we've got another pair of legs to try and put the fire out. Also would allow us to bring back Shipley into the fold as a LWB and Hoole to have less defensive duties.
Literally play without centre halves. Chuck anyone in there in the hope they can't be any worse than what we've got already.
Either way it's basically rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. We're screwed.
