Its always dangerous playing a team who have just had a bad defeat, but still I can't see Crawley being as good in defence as Salford... and I recall Yems liking to play football so I think we can look forward to a reasonable game ...

I have no idea what team we will be able to put out tonight. Our four centre halfs are all injured. The defender we brought on was knocked spark out so has a 19 game ban from sporting activities. Our captain, Francomb, is injured.Nadersan is injured...its going to be a roll call of who can play and where can you play before we name a team. Any sort of footballing style will probably take a back seat and we just try not to get a hammering!

We will win 0-3.

Sometimes just a bit realistic. i said if we could get 8 points from the 6 (this being the last one) and still be anywhere near the playoffs would be a cracking effort, we’ve got 8 points from 5, so anything tonight would be a bonus.

This league is crazy, and if all of a sudden like yourselves can pop into the playoff picture from a good run anyone will feel that they can (we’ve done the same)

If you offered me 7th now i’d snap your hand off.

I think after getting players in this season like Hawkins, Johnson and Oates, as well as the recent loanee Longstaff, you should be looking for a higher finish than 7th.
To be honest before a ball was kicked I was expecting you guys to be doing what FGR 'were' doing.
I quite enjoy the fact that nobody is really expecting us to go up as it takes the pressure off a bit.
Still plenty of points left though and everything to play for so its all set to be a very exciting finish!

Will do for me

Interesting line up. No Nombe sadly with Zanzala standing in, but Coley replaces Stubbs, which suggests a 4 4 2.

Hopefully that will wrong foot Crawley..

[Ninety Per Cent]

I remember when Canavan was our number 1 boo-boy. But still played regular.

Us - Watson, O'Malley, Delaney, Taft, Nuttall, Rowe, Sinclair, Feeney, Burns, Grant, Cribb.

Crawley side tonight.

Only five subs. Not sure how fit Francomb, Nadersan and Nichols are. Not sure who is joining Francillette as centre back (who's playing right back).

Guessing at a 4-3-1-2 system.

Adebowale is a centre back who hasn't been anywhere near the team this season. Went out on loan etc and I thought he was away from the club now.

Morris
Francomb
Francillette
Hessanthaler
Tsaroulla
Powell
Payne
Tilley
Nichols
Appiah
Nadersan

Subs
Davies, Ferry, Adebowale, Marshall, Hutchinson.

We're gonna win this!

Oh dear

4 subs only and one is the fitness coach….

 

[Conker]

No Quinn or Longstaff in squad for Mansfield.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Pretty much our strongest line-up and good options off the bench. We should run riot, but most probably will concede an early goal/red card and go home with nowt.

 

[BarraMatt]

Sweating.

 

[Bottega Don]

4/5/6 tonight? How many Barrow want they will get

 

[BarraMatt]

4/5/6 tonight? How many Barrow want they will get

More likely to somehow get - 4.

 

[Chris FGR]

Better from us so far, deservedly in front courtesy of the Matt attack

 

[kieran_vale]

Terrible from Martin there. That should never have led to a goal for them.

 

[BarraMatt]

Scunny down to 10.

 

[Bottega Don]

Another red card for us, that's what happens when you surround the ref and force him into a decision.

Will end 6 or 7 here

 

[BarraMatt]

We've typically missed a massive chance.

 

[Bottega Don]

Yet another game ruined by a ref desperate to be the star of the show.

We're bad enough on our own why refs feel the need to do this is beyond me

 

[kieran_vale]

Get in there Willo!!

Deserved equaliser. As bad as Martin was on our goal their keeper just made a right blunder.

 

[valefan16]

Least we deserve that!

 

[Bottega Don]

We've got 10 men with a 16 year old playing in CM with a 18 year old winger at LB now

If Barrow don't win this by 2 goals or more they need to be relegated on the spot

 

[Super_horns]

Good shot by the Port Vale guy but keeper ought to have done better .

Sutton equaliser looks offside.

 

[AdamStag]

Soft as from bish, that’s soft as.

I mean no-one i’m the ground is going to say vale didn’t deserve that.

 

[Conker]

Think that first half was absolutely embarrassingly bad. We decided to gift each other a goal a piece.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

We’ve had a lot of ball, not done anything of note though. Wouldn’t surprise me if this ends 0-0.

 

[Bottega Don]

Diving to try and win a penalty when you're 1-0 against 10 men bottom of the league is another level of embarrassing

 

[kieran_vale]

Would say we’ve been the better of the two sides. Some good attacking intent even if not really worked the keeper much. Wilson’s workrate up front has again been first class, been a big surprise for us that part of his game.

 

[valefan16]

Good performance tarred by one bad error by Martin for their goal which is about the only threat they’ve had thus far.

It’s a bit like the game at Field Mill but the other way around.

James Wilson is on it today and that’s making a huge difference as he’s well above this level. Would love to see the offside for him just before half time. Looked well on from where I was sat but angles and all that can be deceiving.

Referee is crap. Doesn’t seem to be getting a grip of Mansfield leaving a foot in enough, they do look like a red card waiting to happen mind which probably means one of ours will get sent off.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Can't let this one slip. Grant left his studs in and had to go - Gotts also bundled over in the area but ref bottled it cos he's taking sympathy on a frail Scunthorpe.
