[when i score we riot]

Poor Mark Travers will not be allowed to touch the ball by Dr. Tarkowski

It’s not red it’s burnt orange

They should be burnt in a skip

Mansfield very capable of grabbing an equaliser here tbh.. they certainly know where the net is. Just need to maintain our concentration.

 

[lieneverton]

Dropped off last 5 mins with the changes. Just get a 2nd please.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Striker is a prick.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

Red or orange, @davek will be fuming.

It’s an homage to his footballing hero Ross Barkley

 

[MondayHater]

Aw, shame. To be fair to Beto he only wanted 90 mins there.

 

[PeregrineT]

Great job by Beto, just no one else existed up there.

Some nice touches from Barry, early days I know but I just haven’t seen anything yet that makes me go “yeah, this lads got it” as I say, early days and he’ll need time to settle.

I think most of us agree on this. He's really good at getting involved and seems to have some purpose and poise in his play which is sorely lacking in Beto's game.

Striker is a prick.

Was gonna say the same thing, been leaving little bits on Tarkowski. Hope one of them bend him in half, just for entertainment value.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Difference in link up play between Beto and Barry is stark

 

[Davideeyore]

Questionable from Beto need to be quicker

 

[Toffe3m4n]

We faff far too much in and around the oppo box. Frustrates the hell out of me..

 

[ChesterBlue]

Barry is a big upgrade on Beto

 

[Nymzee]

We’ve gone dead after the subs.
