Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Are we expecting Coleman to make changes?
Give some of the new lads a run out?
Andy Mangan first start?

Are Mansfield likely to make changes? They do seem to be going all out for the league again and have made a decent start.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Think he might make a few for this un.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Still cant believe its £20 a ticket to be honest, quite clear that they don't want a decent attendance of any sort.

As for the team I would expect a few changes with the Charlton game only 4 days later. Annoying thing about this Cup is that we are only one game away from a decent draw against a "big boy" as it where.

Maxted, Rodgers, Wood, Mingoia, Williams, Sousa, Finley, Platt, Nolan, Watson could all play I guess?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Would be interesting if Platt got a game. I noticed him in the warm up at Bristol and he looked a big, strong lad. Has anyone seen him play at Rovers?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

good chance to rest a few and give others a game. think the interest in this game is on par with a checkatrade trophy fixture.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Good signing.
Destined to go places.
Good for both clubs a little like Dunne.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Team news is in...........

Maxted, Rodgers, Hughes, Platt, Wood, Finley, Conneely, Brown, Mcconville, Mingoia, Zanzala

Subs
Ripley, Johnson, Richards-Everton, Clark, Williams, Mangan

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

A wise choice imho.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Who is captain tonight? S.Mac?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Conneely (c) .......

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Why would you expect the captain to be changed ???

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Why not its a completely different team.? Aint really bothered just thought it was an idea.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Bury 1 up at Forest Carlisle 0-1 Blackburn

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Stanley also 1-0 Finley.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Get in there !

Finley looks a good young prospect that's for sure.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Radio lancs covering other games as main commmentary, but can get commentary at Home | Mansfield 103.2 obviously with a mansfield bias

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

1-1 Penalty Mansfailed.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

.......... Brought down in the box by Maxted :(

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

2-1 ...... ANOTHER penalty . WTF ?!

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Yeh it says Seamus on the BBC,:confused:

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

They got a second penalty:eek:

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Actually don't bother, its more than 50% music and adverts

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

3-1!!! what the hell is going on?!

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Oh dear.

Not a good night at the office so far :(

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Dan Jewell tweets we are wide open at the back.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

JC gets a yellow card :(

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Sounds like absolute pandemonium!! Yellow cards left, right & centre - typical Mansfield tactics & a ref who's lost his grip on the game

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Typical Mansfield then !

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

4-1, All over bar the shouting . :(

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

4-1 Harvey Rodgers having a mare according to radio Lancs.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

At least Coleman knows he has little squad depth, back to the loan market and free agents

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

never mind, maybe their fans will be in good spirits and allow our fans to leave the stadium this time

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Supposedly close to getting Dunne back, also after another striker.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Would be fantastic if we could get Dunne back. There's a chance with them signing Gibson.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Kayden scored for Ipswich good lad.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

5-1 WTF is going on?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

5-1 :(

All kicking off apparently . There's a surprise.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

5-1 McConville limps off and has an altercation with fans in the stands.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Can't see Coley ever rotating his squad again.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Seems like the war is on the pitch this time round rather than outside the stadium, so glad we don't have to play them again this season . . . . . . .

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

We only had 3 shots to Mansfields 10 that says to me our backup aint anywhere near good enough.:eek:

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

What, both of them? :rolleyes:

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

2 dodgy penaltys not an excuse but it puts you out your stride bad day at the office and can't just right players off 6 changes is a lot but this years aim especially with the windfall from the transfers means a cup run isn't quite as important as establishing ourselves in league 1.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Their 'fans' I presume, not ours :rolleyes:

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

attendance 1565 (76 from stanley)

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Agree about this years aim, but that scores ridiculous.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

6-1. I hope this doesn't destroy all the confidence in the team.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

6-1

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

6-1 more than a bad day at the office.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

What an absolute nightmare tonight.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

6-1, Full Time.

Pretty dreadful all round.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

So what does Coleman do? Go ballistic and have them in training all day tomorrow, or shrug it off and try and build up belief in their ability?
Feel sorry for the fans who made the trip.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Thats entirely up to him hes the gaffer.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Can only be described as a bad day at the office!!

Hopefully better on Saturday!!

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Just hope that the effect of tonight's result doesn't carry over into Saturday's game.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

buy the 76 a big-mac

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Shouldn't, hopefully have Coley's first choice team showing up!!

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

6-1 loss is dreadful. We obviously don't have a team that is anything like jelled. Although 6 changes is a lot the calibre of players we have should have been better than that' It was a mickey mouse competition anyway.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

well and truly stuffed. Too many with little game time against a side looking for a scalp. Hope regulars not too dis-spirited and barring injuries I think we all know the side that will trot out agin Charlton.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Well that didn't go thrillingly well, did it? But at least Charlton lost 3-0 at MK Pretend-Wimbledon, so they won't be on a high either ...........

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Hardly, they played there u23s with 1 first team player.
4 of them made their pro debuts from the start with another 3 pro debuts of the bench.
Charltons first team had a good rest in preparation for the weekend.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

The view from one of the more neutral Mansfield fans in attendance was our goalkeeper isn’t good enough for league 2, hence why he hardly played last season.
He also reckons 2 of the defenders clearly lacked any match sharpness and where constantly 2nd to the ball.
He also thinks Zanzala isn’t good enough for league 2, he lacks composure and his movement is too static for someone who’s game is getting in behind, which again based on the evidence we have seen last season and this season seems a fair enough assessment.
Zanzala is young enough to improve but with Mangan as the only alternative alongside Kee, do we need another striker option?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

I think the team we put out last night showed that we weren't really bothered about doing well in this competition,no disrespect to the lads who played but most have had hardly any game time yet & it showed.
I've no problem with playing a young inexperienced side to see what they can do but if I'd travelled to Mansfield & paid £20 to watch I might feel differently

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

I think you are being far too kind Accymad. When your chance comes you take it or get left behind.
I've no problem with losing - that happens - but 6-1 cannot be described as just losing.
If anything has come out of last night its the lack of depth in the squad.
What worries me the most is the injuries as well.
If McConville and Finlay are worse than thought ..........
We've thankfully resolved the keeper issue but we are desperate for two forwards a commanding old fashioned centre half and a midfielder with guile.
It was painful to watch last night.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

And JC , in his post-match interview seems to feel very much the same Di ! ...

As to the fans who must have suffered throughout the game and who must be applauded for their loyalty. The journey home must, as we both have known in the past , have seemed even worse !... well done to 'em !.


Better things on Saturday ?... 😎

ON STANLEY !... ON TO GREATER THINGS !.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Have to say i agree with twenty eight, AGAIN.:eek::D

the only problem is that we are in division 1 so that makes the mansfield fans comments even more serious. going to be a long hard season unless we sign better as for me the players that have been brought in seem typical division 2 signings. i for one expected better.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

You sound like that worries you Cashy :D

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Malik Wilks ........ is he the one that got away ?

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Not sure never really saw enough of him.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Apart from 8-2 at Peterborough in Season 2007/8 can anyone think of as bad or worse defeat since the club re-formed? I can't off hand.

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Yes unfortunately he is. Guile ability power pace and an eye for goal. ....... Problem is, we won't get him back but will see him at the WHAM.....he's on loan at Doncaster Rovers!!!

Re: Mansfield (A) League Cup Match Thread
 

Yes I know that ...... the post was having reviewed his goals already scored this season.
