THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Said it before, say it again. Think our fanbase has handled this very well. I know we were mediocre as fuck in 16/17 but when we lost there the first time it really felt like the end of the World. It felt like we crawled our way to the end of the season, and we actually had a few good results to end the season but it hung over us.
From the moment we lost that, the fans after the game seemed pretty "fuck it we move" and aren't gonna doubt these players. Which helps, unlike last time, having a better aide.

It really is an indication that though it hurts, it is a moment in time above all else. This was as big, points wise as Saturday would've been if not arguably bigger. And we won.

Just shows you that stats can be absolute bollocks, especially at this level. Apparently Mansfield had 8 big chances (rarely ever see as many as that) vs our 0.

So Dennis' miss and Gilbey's chance at the end that was saved weren't big chances? And where on earth did they get 8 from?

Talking to one who said they've been the better side in most games. The ones they've lost have been due to dodgy ref errors and we're always in the game.
That is the worst they've played all season and mainly because we made them look that way.

3 from the pen (2 saves then a goal on the 3rd shot), 4 together in the 2nd half when we made the quadruple block and 1 other at the beginning of the 2nd half. That's a max of 3 goals in my book.
We had both goals and the shot their keeper turned over near the end at the very least

Looking at the highlights neither of our goals was a big chance, the Dennis header probably was

Dennis definitely was, as was Gilbey’s chance towards the end. Agree neither goal would go down as a big chance

Yes. Sat was an opportunity thrown away by not playing as well as we showed last night, and against Newport the game before, we completely blew it against a crap side.

An alternative view might be that we lost against a side that exploited our vulnerabilities. We currently struggle, particularly away against more physical sides and have a tendency to over commit in certain circumstances. We played below our capabilities, largely because we were made to.

This. And we are far from alone in having that weakness - hence why we are still very much in the running, and why this league has been throwing out seemingly bizarre results all season.

I was busy last night with a work thing. I didn't get home until very late and had no access to internet so I missed the game and the score line altogether until I checked this morning. What a treat to wake up to! I've spent the last 20 minutes reading through this thread and it was highly enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed the comments calling out MW's team selection and of course Dennis's inclusion in the starting line up We are a fickle bunch eh.

COYD's! Promotion is on!
