MATCHWATCH : Mansfield Town (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

Very much been coming. Not doing enough to close down the cross. Striker just drops off Mbengue who holds his ground.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Good header. Shame we couldn't hold out to HT, but can't say they didn't deserve it.

[Royal_jimmy]

Another pretty rubbish performance. Deserverly pegged back and a good goal from them

has anybody seen my BROGUE IS KILLING HNA sign yet?

i am at the game UNLIKE IAN

Only seen a DD is a oxf*rd sign.

[Snowflake Royal]

Stats are very one sided, which reflects what I've seen. It's been all Mansfield and our goal was definitely against the run of play.

Think we really miss Elliott holding his ground fairly centrally in midfield. Something I wasn't expecting to be as important an aspect of his game as it appears to have been. I think Knibbs is better on the left of midfield tending to come inside a bit more.

Hi ho. Honours even at HT. Let's see what Noel can do with his talk.

Maybe Rushesha for Camara a bit later, shift Knibbs out left and maybe have a bit more presence in the middle of the pitch

So Ian is at the match?

[WestYorksRoyal]

Poor but thought we'd got away with it to HT. Overpowered in the middle. Goal was far too easy to get the cross in with Kanu backing off, and then a free header. Placed very well though.

Tbf to Kanu, he must be 4th choice LB or so, and that was already pinpointed as our weakest position in pre season. Don't think he's ready for this level, let alone out of position.

Tighten up central midfield and it will all step up.

Yeah, there was one of them on every seat like at the FA Cup semi final.

[Pepe the Horseman]

That'll add another £10m to his price tag.

[Snowflake Royal]

Bindon bicycle kick. Kerching. +£5m

[Pepe the Horseman]

Blatant foul on Knibbs there too.

[Millsy]

Bindon now officially the first £1billion player.

[Uke]

Another 3 million on Tyler’s tag

[Snowflake Royal]

It's not a Reading game without a denied penalty

Definitely a good shout, but maybe goes down a little easy. With our record we're not getting it unless the defender takes a huge scything swing at both legs.

[Millsy]

Looked like a pen to me, waiting for replay.

[Snowflake Royal]

Garcia getting stripped

[Pepe the Horseman]

Not even a foul by Mbengue let alone a yellow.

[Snowflake Royal]

Not even a foul by Mbengue let alone a yellow.

Nah, he had hold of his leg and brought him down. Great spot by the officials.

[Snowflake Royal]

Technically two fouls worthy of a yellow by their 3 on Garcia then. Including the most cynical swipe at his legs you'll see.
