Excellent interview with James Gray on radio lancs at the final whistle.

The idiots who said Coleman shouldn't be manager because he can't get the players fit and he isn't professional enough should give it a listen.

James is on a special fitness regime including sessions at edge hill university to ensure he is match fit for next Saturday. All set out by John coleman.

sean webb remember him scored for nairn in the scottish cup

You know what, I had actually convinced myself that we won that. Worrying!

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Five consecutive Saturdays and five wins. When did we last do that?

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Fair play to the lads as well as John and Jimmy.

I must admit they wernt my choice but what a fantastic start they have made.

Long may it continue :)

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Just back from the game and it was a weird game !.
First chance I've had to look at how coley has set them up (4-2-3-1) and wasn't disappointed in the first half,indeed we gave them a football lesson and should have been four up as the keeper saved three one on ones when we cut them up with outstanding football.
The second half they come out the blocks,stopped us playing and launched the ball at every opportunity .
There is hoof ball,but mansfield took it to another level.
Our CBs got no protection but stood firm and will feel tomorrow they have fought mike Tyson
We deserved the win and showed we can battle as well as play,very happy !!!,
I nearly forgot,another clean sheet :)

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Agree wi football19 first half yeh woulda thought we were the home side,A concern to me is last 2 games we seem to have sat back second half?:eek: The defence were solid n held em out,But that wont always be the case, Another very welcome n today a deserved 3 pts, Mansfield though could have got summat when down to 10 men, couple of decent chances,:eek: needs thinking about imho.

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Agree Cashy,although with a bit of composure we could have easily put the game to bed when they threw men forward,but we made poor decisions when in good areas.
This will give Coley something to moan about !!!

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Wonderful result to wake up to. Well done you warriors in red. What a great 24 hours for me :)

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

Spare a thought for Tom Aldred who apparently lost one of his front teeth on the pitch today, talk about putting yourself on the line!

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

its ok,if he loses em all, i have a spare set he can have.:D Stevo wasn't out wi the lads pre kick off, seems ominous to me.

We were told in the crown when we got home that Stevo hadn't travelled with the team yesterday because he'd hurt his back

Re: Mansfield match thread
 

So now we know what he wants for Christmas !....should he want to wish us all one in the first place that is !!:hothothot
