The seeding is an absolute joke

 

[jaycee]

Decent enough runout, couple of players getting minutes in, never feel totally comfortable at 1-0, but seen it out

 

[PeregrineT]

Thankfully this aged well

Oh it did, thankfully Garner made it really easy with an actual great pass, and this time he actually made the wide open pass.

He has a couple of good passes in him, but he just plays it safe and passes it back almost all the time, even in good positions. People wrongly fawn over a player that doesnt turn the ball over against a weak side but.....its really easy to complete all your passes backwards. Garner and Alcaraz way better today.

No - but knowing our luck we'll get one of the two away fixtures against one of them in this draw coming up

 

[D. Amokachi]

We normally make a right meal of these games (hi United) so no complaints at all about a dull 2-0 win.

 

[edge]

Not a bad game.
Mansfield and there fans made a game of it.
Hope we get a decent draw in the next round .

People wetting themselves at half time because Mansfield had the ball for 5 minutes. We didn't have a save to make. In total control for 90mins

 

[Mikey O]

Controlled performance and great for fitness/togetherness of the squad.

A little underwhelming but got the job done.

Good performances from…

Coleyman
Armstrong
Garner
Alcaraz

Still made a bit of a meal of it to be fair, but largely in control.

Job done, it was never likely going to be a mauling.

I factored in 4 minutes injury time and 1 in first half

Only just realised it was micheal bridges on comms, super player before the injuries
