We’ve not been let down (though BCS and anyone else has every right to feel that). We did play hoofball too often. Three better teams will finish above us. We all had dreams of what might have been. But the team, the gaffer and the coaching staff gave us that chance, after the mess that was the GA era. We might yet go up. I doubt we will as we have a flawed mentality.

But, if we stay in L2, it isn’t the end of the world. Yes, players will leave, but we’ll hire new players. Players will want to play our brand of football. We’ll get new loanees too, because their clubs will look at the season as a whole and will know we’re a better prospect than most of the shit teams in this basement league.

Shout. Swear. Kick the virtual cat. Get drunk. But next season could be better than this.


You’re talking as if this season’s over. Far from it.

No, I’m not. We have a chance in the playoffs. But I don’t think we’ll win them. But, even if that’s the case, it’s not the end of the world.


We will finish above the other teams in the playoffs. Good reason to believe that we will still get promoted.

What happened in previous seasons has no bearing.

But agreee, even if we don’t, it’s not the end of the world.


I really want a day out at Wembley this season. But, even if we don't go up, I'm really confident that we'll have a great season next time and it'll be one to remember.
I can't see MW leaving yet but a few players have contracts running down that will go and some may be sold. Doesn't matter as there are enough good players out there to keep our current style. We'll be fine, even if we don't go up this season.

Just to caveat

I think we will ultimately fail in the play offs but win the League next season

So where do the ultra negative tactics come from that started around 20 minutes in? Is that MW or the players doing it off their own backs?


Didn't think we was ultra negative. Mansfield just got a toe hold in the game and then we were always chasing it.

For about 10 minutes we just passed it around at the back. The Mansfield fans were booing our negativity and most of us around me were just perplexed that we’d dropped to walking pace. For me that was where the game was lost and I’d love to know if it came from MW or the players.


We passed it around at the back because they backed off us. We were trying to draw them in. The booing was for their players, not ours.


Yes, this. Mansfield were coached to mark Payne, Wearne and Gilbey and sat very narrow to force O’Hora to play wide or backwards. But fans don’t like to see a lack of pressure, even if it made tactical sense for them.
