28 September Games

Sounds like we did what you do when you're a half decent L1 side and that's go to a side in the situation that Cambridge find themselves in and get a straight forward win. Should probably have been three or four, though.

Big blow to lose House after 5 minutes, for the first half we had two Academy lads up front in Draper and Makama.

Club record 13 unbeaten away from home now, the last defeat being at Blackpool on NYD when we had 12 out ...who we're at on Tuesday.

you said what’s coming….

Its always your poorest performance of the season when you dont win ,

I think we played better against Birmingham (for twenty minutes at least) and got beat comprehensively. Although tbf for over an hour we barely touched the ball in that game.

We typically don't play too well in London.

I always felt Stockport would score, Barnsley just come across as a team without a backbone.

 

[Stocky]

I thought we deserved a point to be honest. They did restrict us to few clear cut opportunities but at the end of the day they're a team who make the play offs last two seasons and they had the 1-0 and were only interested in stifling it to see it out. Was a bit of a lucky goal but we did build territory and Barnsley almost asked for it IMO.

We can and do need to play better though. Combinations don't seem right for us. But I think we get the season to work on it as we'll be nowhere near the top and nowhere near the bottom.

It’s interesting watching that game, from a mansfield perspective did either of them look better than us? nah.

It’s an interesting one in this division to what the expected quality is - like against mansfield, barnsley had the chances but didn’t convert.

There was not a lot between Mansfield and ourselves last season. Only difference was Challinor being ambitious compared to Nigel Clough.

I'd be stunned if either of us are in trouble after what I've seen so far. It's not arrogance, we'll get some pumpings but there are points there to be had and it's becoming quite blatant now.

We were pretty poor cutting edge wise tonight but got a point away at a side who have been in the League One Play Off Final and Semi Final the last two years

You’re right. challinor had the money of a top 3 side to be ambitious whereas clough had a budget of a 7/8th side placed side - so wasnt allowed the same chance - stockport lost 8 last season - 2 of them against clough.

clough got mansfield promoted despite having a much smaller budget.
