Thought the lads gave it all this afternoon when we went down to 10 then 9 men.. Kearney, absolute quality addition (apart from end product today), smith - monumental. Wish we'd started Youngy (despite lack of match fitness).
No point going on about the ref.. He was inconsistent, but I wouldn't say awful. The major decisions went against us! His Linesman (on the Pop side) though was attrocious.. I think Williams was prob offside, but so was their first,even when the first shot that Stuart saved was struck.
In recent seasons gone by though, we'd have capitulated and shipped 5 today. Fair play to the lads, they kept playing football and looked the more threatening in the 2nd half.
Heads up lads, get yourselves back together and play like that next week. Luton won't know what hits them.
Doughty should have kept his mouth shut for the first yellow and Chrissy Senior should know never to raise your hands.. It's asking for a Red card. Mansfield are very poor! Bully boy tactics with little quality (apart from Briscoe who I thought looked dangerous all game til he went off). Thought their forwards were woeful. If I was an olympic judge i'd have been giving 9.9's for their dives!
