Bad day at the office by too many, not helped by the strange decisions by the ref.
He was not interested in 2 decent pen shouts for us, although it looked the only way we were going to score.

Their goal - Robertson mistake taken forward shot going well wide ended up deflected in, it was that sort of game.
We could have played until Saturday and we still wouldn't have scored.....

The positives - Bright looks lively, he needs to start.
The negatives:
Midfield. Cain wasn't in it, Potts had a mare of a game.
Team selection - Samuel should have started, no point humping it up when the opposition are big lads. I'd never take Vassell off, he is always grafting and even when not playing well he's in the mix.
Set pieces - Taylor put 3 sh ite crosses in that didn't clear the first man, last chance of the game a free kick in a good position and Pugh the captain allows Taylor to over rule him and to take it - the result, it didn't clear the first man.
Missed opportunity for those selected - French lad, Cain, Philliskirk (after a 10 minute cameo) all missed the opportunity to push for a regular start.
McAllister played well last Sat - why on earth drop him today.
We are missing Daniel, someone who seems to hold the ball up and play others in.

The goals have dried up, GB needs to get his starting 11 in his head and stick with it.

 
Positives, a few more mushrooms will stay away and we get our club back sooner.

Negatives, still too many are legitimising their tenure.

Who'd have thought it just 5 years ago after doing the double over Liverpool in the Premier League that Mansfield would be doing the double over what was once Blackpool FC, Fleetwood would be pushing to go 2 divisions higher, Preston also 2 divisions higher and lower crowds than AFC Fylde!!! :rofl:
