A tad harsh. It could have either way until 80 minutes

We were outplayed from 20 minutes in. A must win game and we didn’t lay a glove on them after Dean’s goal.


Yes we needed a second goal, to congrats Mansfield, but let down no.

Absolutely. And did we go looking for a second goal? No.


Of couse we did.

We were clearly watching different games.

One nil up, then that was it. Was the plan to protect that lead? No attempt to press for a second, just happy to pass around at the back, sideways, backwards, tragic to watch to be honest.

Lewie was constantly targeted as the weak link and that’s where the equaliser came from, I’m sorry to say he was way off today and should have been hooked at half time.

Mansfield were better than us today, although that wasn’t really difficult and deserve to go up automatically

109% spot on.

Hear hear.
It just wasn't our afternoon. Even if we had WON it wasn't as if autos were then confirmed.

Mansfield definitely deserve to go up, alongside with Stockport.

Even if we had won today, I still think Mansfield would have ended up securing the 3rd spot on the final day. You just have to look at their goal difference to see how superior they have been over the course of the season.

We gave away two soft goals and then had to chase the game.

I’m not unhappy with them. We gave it a good shot.

I'm 'singing the positives' on here se coir but their equaliser was due to awful/ghastly/naive defending.
Right in front of me their player is allowed to get it, turn, and put a decent cross in.
Bt...hey dudes. It is what it is.

Also there has been 2 games this season we’ve described as “must win”; Stockport and Mansfield. We lost 5-0 and 4-1

I was previously looking forward to the play offs, not anyone. How on earth are we going to win 3 must win games


You mean two must win games, because there is no chance this team does anything in a playoff semi. We really don’t handle big games well at all, mentality issue tbh.

Also wish the club would stop lying and admit Tomlinson is out for the season like we know he is. Saves the disappointment at 2pm

Maybe the club doesn't know how long the injury is for? Williamson - 'It's one of those injuries which could be two days, could be two weeks'.

I know many are obsessed with picking apart every little thing the club does these days, but accusing them of lying when we have no idea what's going on is a bitch of a stretch
