Can’t disagree with any of the earlier observations. Mansfield were well-drilled, got into space to make themselves available for passes, and finished their few chances.
Stanley, yet again, looked listless and like few knew what to do with the ball, other than give it to the nearest player whether he was already marked or not. They started ok but had lost the game after Mansfield’s second goal.
But then nothing changed in the second half, until it was way too late.
Thought (for once
) Brett Ormerod summed it up well after the game - Stanley tried to play “off the cuff” whereas Mansfield played to a plan.
Such a massive difference and disappointment from Tuesday night’s performance.
