[Essex2Wessex]

Cambridge thoroughly deserved that. In command throughout.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

V
ery good half and could have gone in 2 or 3 to the good. Great save for the penalty from Mullin.



I’m sure Forest Green won’t be they poor second half but they couldn’t get near Hoolahan or Boateng in that first half.

I put the Forest Green commentary on because my home one doesn’t seem to be working. If you close your eyes and listen to it you have no idea what is going on.

The thing is our away commentators are shite, but actually the home ones (from BBC Glos) are not much better.....

 

[Huntsman94]

See you have another midweek banker against Colchester.......Games are catching up with you
*I expect Exeter to turn you over by at least two goals* then your Banker against Colchester will finish goal less.

Going to enjoy the coming few days on here

Oops

well done.....hold my hands up

Neither did I to be honest. If we can pick up 6 points from Colchester and Mansfield followed by having our first week’s rest since early January, that would set us up nicely. Today wasn’t pretty however.

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Good value for the win today us, but Colchester were really bad.
Not Southend bad, but still bad.
Decent commentary.
I’m started to warm to Clarke, he’s got us playing ok.

 

[Si Robin]

We were awesome today, 2-0 flatters Salford, it could easily have been 4 or 5.

If we can play like that for the rest of the season then we should go up quite easily.

That if is doing an awful lot of legwork though.

 

[Vanni]

Fair play FGR fans.

I've changed my mind. FGR > Halifax Town

 

[pontoonlew]

Shame they’ve been cack all season then isn’t it!

Exactly my point, they’ve been cack yet STILL outshone the Messiahs mess

Of course what I really think is you bribed the ref and Hoolahan needs drug testing as that's just not possible in a man his age, but thought it was best to look like a gracious loser.

 

[AdamStag]

at least you backed Bolton

i did, won be £180

cheers!

 

[AdamStag]

Says a lot that you couldn’t ever beat our shower of shit players who are an embarrassment to our club.

That was an astonishingly bad game and you deserved to win that

Yeah they didn’t offer much, first half they were terrible. Improved second half when our nemesis Senior came on, expected more from Nouble but they look like we did a few weeks back pre Clarke.

Good commentary though, very fair and non bias, were cooing over us first half which is nice to hear.

Don’t mind Col U though, their chairman was very supportive of Carol when they first took over and offered anything she needed so hope they stay up (as long as not at our expense!)

 

[wessy]

Football Gods with us today a poor first half ,Walsall deserved the lead, better second half without playing really well, Lee and Santos played well , but the gods saw fit to send a Walsall Player off and award a penalty, so the run continues but some good wins at the top today. We are still in the mix.

Everyone writing of Morecambe because it's Morecambe but a great win at Harrogate....

Agreed. Always think they’re lower than where they actually are and surprised to see them still in 6th!

Glad to see Salford falling away. Have said it all season long that they looked poor when we played them and seemed to be in a false position.

No excuses your player made a meal of it but you cant raise your hands like that these days.we are in trouble something has to give soon.

 

[AR27]

Another poor performance from us. Our run of scoring worldies has now ended and we're back to not being able to score in a brothel.

I hate to say it but performances are getting worse by the week and today was very Gary Bowyer like, which doesn't bode well whatsoever. We're sat in mid table with nothing to lose and we just continue to set up so negative every week. Very disappointed.

 

[Pablosammy]

To be fair, we got more than a bit lucky.

 

[shoddycollins]

Anyone seen Devon_Lad?

We got beat so I expect we'll see him soon

 

[shoddycollins]

Just to pile on to our misfortune, sounds like Brennan Dickenson could be out for a while with an injury picked up at the very end.

 

[Gladders]

Shame they’ve been cack all season then isn’t it!

Lew only sees good things when it suits him.

Despite them coming on and us playing slightly better (wasn't difficult after the first half) we still didn't create a chance from open play until the final minute when we hit the post.

Williams while scoring the goal , had at least two other similar free kicks go way over the bar, and several crossing free kicks and corners that didn't beat the first man, one even went out of play before it reached the box! If it was LJL hitting the post in the last min he'd be saying he has cost us 2 points, no mention of Williams doing that.

Spokes now has more lge appearances under Hurst than he did under Holloway as well, so Hurst has shown more faith in him that Holloway ever did.

Notice he had nothing negative to say about LJL today so doesn't mention his name at all. He's now beating Matt Green lge goal scoring record playing less than half the games and scored more than the beloved Hanson again playing less games. He is also now our best scorer based on minutes per goal this season (not difficult with this squad really, but not bad for someone who is crap at scoring!).

 

[loz]

Fucking get in there. We are becoming masters at winning games late on.

next time I tell you "you will be ok" will you believe me?

 

[Chris FGR]

Everyone writing of Morecambe because it's Morecambe but a great win at Harrogate....

They looked very good at our place last week, more then deserved the point could have got more. Definitely contenders I reckon.

 

[Son of Cod]

Haha, spot on.

Grimsby were dreadful today and the fact you got a point says it all about this Mansfield side.

You should have seen some of our other performances for some truly dreadful football. We are in the swing of actually playing alright for 45.(!£ in every game at the moment. We shaded it today but it seems a bit OTT to gave that to accolade either side.

 

[BarraMatt]

next time I tell you "you will be ok" will you believe me?

I'll try!

 

[stevowanderer]

Is Norman always like that? Was on the floor every 2 minutes? He was embarrassing. Thought ref had given a pen at the end for a second. But the one when we were attacking in the left corner when he backed in and just threw himself to the floor. Can’t believe the ref gave it.

Tbf he did make a bit of a meal of it Dapo but he had his hands on his throat. You played well first half. Completely nullified us and scored a good goal. Thought we were in big trouble.

I thought we had a half each, the fact we conceded due to a free header, and the free-kick was another shocking individual error by Sweeney, and we drew, so basically it’s same old Mansfield.

We are shite at keeping the lead, at home, against bottom Grimsby, take the lead twice and we still fuck it up. Shocking.

I forgot to add that Clough brought on Sweeney (CB) and played him upfront, utterly bizarre from him today!

 

[Conker]

After that second half, it’s the other way round.

You had the second half but yeah, I mean we are poor but probably a bit better than your lot all considered.
