Tell us how you really feel Andy! Wow, they only lost 2-0 but you'd have thought it was 8-0! That's 15 matches without a win for Mansfield… They’ve had a couple of draws but most of the results have been losses. They’ve got a tough run in too but I think they’ll be just about safe come the end of the season due to the bottom four having too much to do.

To be fair to them, League 1 is really strong at the moment. Bottom 4 aside their aren't really any 'dud' teams...

He's not a happy chappy is he? ;)

Credit to him for telling it how he sees it. Nonetheless, it's a bad sign when the assistant manager gets wheeled out to do interviews. 15 matches without a win is shocking, but I think the points gathered early in the season will help get them over the line. They're still eight points clear.

They are for now, wouldn't bet against them being safe

Mansfield's situation is surely a lesson for Notts if they manage to win promotion.

Notts will need to ensure that they have the players that can step up another level & if not,Β  be prepared to go into the transfer market, to ensure they do not struggle as Mansfield have done.

I think it’s a bad sign when the manager, or assistant manager in this case, starts to criticise the players publicly, it doesn’t actual sound if there’s much togetherness when that happens, I don’t mind them being honest and saying it was an awful performance but I’d rather hear them say β€œwe are in this together, we all take responsibility and together we’ll work hard to put it right”, or words to that effect.

If the manager throws the players under the bus they aren’t going to want to play for him, they are in danger of losing the dressing room in my opinion.

how am i only just learning about this, the comments are funny but at least hes speaking some sense. i do think hes speaking more out of frustration which is making him a little too honest. its not the response you want trying to secure a league one place. mansfield fans will like it, but he is blaming the players and taking no accountability for his or nigel cloughs actions.
