Robins needs to set his team up to go at them. We need to create more chances so I'd play Reid from the start with JCH up front with McNulty.
From what I remember Mansfield were no mugs at the the Ricoh and most things went through Hemmings and Rose was quite tricky.
JMD seems to have had a blinder in U23, on paper it would be great to have somebody creating from both sides and if he plays like he did against Stoke I'd put him in.

not excited at all. a win will change that mind..
Shipley ,Vincenti on the bench, still to be convinced on Vincenti and JMD, but it could be a battle.
Bayliss or Kelly?

It depends on Doyle, I'd much rather have Doyle doing the mopping up and then letting Bayliss go forward.
Can't see him dropping Kelly .

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 beat Mansfield this time. (However I always think we are going to win). My optomism this time is based on the second half performance of JCH. If he as like that we have a chance.

This game will have a bit of an edge to it. Robins weren’t best pleased with Steve Evans antics in the reverse fixture and there was also crowd trouble - add to that they’re in good form and we need to win to stay in touch.

You can probably add Swindon to that list, even though we won.
I also feel that JCH is the missing link, and am looking forward to ticking a new ground off the list and coming back with three points.

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.

These are the fixtures where it's difficult to see us winning on current form but that form changes eventually and we are due that and a good second half at Brighton should have us set up and ready to go. Mansfield have been strong of late but they are due a poor game and think we may go and capitalize on the day provided we play to attack.
Think it could be like the Luton game away, where the unexpected happens.

Exactly that team, just logged in to put that on here.
4-3-3 and go at them from the start, no dicking about playing for a point

I'd be tempted for Reid instead of ponti

I'd give Ponti the nod just based on the impact he made when he came on against Brighton. If Robins goes 4-4-2 then I agree that Reid should start, to get crosses in for JCH to get on the end of

also for the fact that Ponti wants to actually play for the club

Why do you think of him as suspect, Wingy?
