    Doyle - yellow cards

    Doyle is a clever player. He spoke about the booking on the radio and more or less said that he knows what to do to avoid a second yellow and getting sent off. He will do well to avoid another booking before the next cut off point( if there is one) but it wouldn’t surprise me if he managed it.

    Evans’s Behaviour

    How do you know? Same topic as MK and Brighton I know, but the morons standing in front of us weren’t too nice. Constant abuse of the Mansfield fans (it’s not banter it’s just abuse) and the Mansfield stewards, hardly watching the game. One of them deliberately stamped on his seat until it...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Again it is all about opinions but I would agree with his comments on the FGR match. I thought that they were up for it more, were quicker in the tackle, won more second balls. I don’t think it was a case of not trying by us More of a less determined state of mind. Strachan used to say that the...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    We all have opinions about games, tactics and about players. That’s as it should be. However to categorically state that Robin’s view of a game is way off is a bold statement. This is a man whose whole working life has been in football. No doubt he will have been connected to Man Utd as a...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Feb

    Unusually for us this season, I felt we started strongly at Swindon and could have been 3 up before they took the lead. We were hanging on at the end though.

    Match Thread Coventry City at Mansfield Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Feb

    Despite the poor performances in many games this season, there have been only two league games where I felt we deserved to lose. One was the Accrington home game where we were easily beaten, the other was home to Mansfield where I felt they shaded it. (I wasn't at Morecambe). I think we will...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    I was at Forest Green (seen all but two games this season). Some of the football has been poor. We have been too defensive. Despite all the negatives I would still want him to stay and build again next season.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    It’s keeping a manager who has brought in his own team and for three quarters of the season (don’t know what will happen in the final quarter) has kept us in contention. If you could guarantee that manager number 11 of the Sisu reign was going to be successful I would be with you. The truth is...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    I would keep him for next season, yes. If you look at his record when he took over Rotherham in this league I think he fulfills your criteria.

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Who would you want the club to try to get in to replace him? Who do you see as better than him?

    Should we name and shame

    True unfortunately.

    Sorry to be a pedant. It wasn’t me that went to Wasps but a mate!

    Should we name and shame

    You’re glad we are not a family club? That’s an awful lot of potential fans excluded from games.

    Should we name and shame

    There is an edge to football that I like. At the football the result really matters to most of the people that go. (But probably not the idiots who spend most of their time looking at and goading the opposition fans). I attended Wales v Ireland rugby international last year and for most people...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    It would be good if Boddy came out and said as you have said above, that we are planning for the long term. I suppose with the legal action ongoing it is hard to say that and carry it out when we may be homeless next year. However, if they did say this at least everyone would know the plan and...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    This is the same argument you used for getting rid of Mowbray. We are now three managers on from him, still dropping like a stone. If you could guarantee that the next one is the one to change things then I am with you. The fact is you know and I know that the same old things will be being said...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Your opening sentence here I think adds weight as to why finally we should stick by someone. As soon as things don’t go to Plan the manager is under pressure and inevitably gets the chop. You are obviously hoping that someone new comes in, it all goes great from the start and we are on a...

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Sacked and left before being sacked. How did their replacements fair? Robins left before the Northampton debacle and then Pressley installed and then sacked after being given a four year contract. Venus and then Slade, did they take us forward? Robins produced an upturn in fortune when he took...

    Isn’t the board just Tim Fisher?

    Should Mark Robins be sacked?

    Does sacking the manager mean we will avoid this fate and start going in the other direction? From the evidence I see over the last ten years at this club it is sack the manager and continue to fall. Time to give someone a chance.
