So after our injury time comeback at Yeovil we're back at TNL where we rarely score or win. Mansfield are clearly a good side who are tough to beat and will know how to stop us. We're pretty solid and confident after last week though so can see this being another draw probably 0-0.

Flitcroft and Cooper appear to be mates,going by the amount of praise they've showered on each other/each other's clubs in the build up. Going on what Coops said Mansfield play decent stuff so there should be plenty of pretty passing on show. Question is will there be much end product?

This is the game the neutrals will want to see, 2 sides who play football how god (Goma Lambu) intended the game to be played. None of this kick and rush Cowley ball.

1-1 but football will be the winner

So FG have drawn 6 of their 10 home games, we've drawn 8 out of our 10 away games.

Rather bizarre - hoping for a much better show than what we put up last season. Wouldn't actually mind a draw here, though they've gone off the boil a little of late

Be interesting to see who starts in goal after bobby olejnic ruled out for the rest of the season ,flitcroft hasn,t messed about by signing jake kean on a short term deal not sure who will start,think we could nick a win

My prediction is a 1-1 draw unless a County fan is reading this in which case I’m predicting a 2-1 win and a below par attendance.

FGR drew seven of first 14 matches but have not drawn last seven matches.
A positive result for Mansfield match looks likely.

Think the pensioners have got more than enough on their own plate.

I see the draw is the least likely outcome according to the bookies, with Mansfield favourites to win it. That's logical from a form point of view, but we all know this will end 1-1.

Clearly Flitcroft has got Mansfield ticking over nicely something he failed to do at Swindon. I see them creeping into the third place spot by the end of the season. I hope I'm not raising too many expectations here, lol.

To be fair he had Swindon well in the play-offs before he left with less money so not quite sure that's correct.

Look if we have one of those rare days where our players actually know how to score we could win but yeah a draw is pretty likely.

My only wish for today is that Mansfield enter into the Christmas spirit and bring us an early present of a match-day atmosphere...our place has been like a morgue for weeks. It is starting to affect the players and even the manager has made comment about it in his pre-match interviews. As for the game, I think a draw is on the cards, our favourite outcome at home and theirs away. Hopefully both teams will disregard this and go all out for a win, if that happens we should get a fairly open and entertaining game.

I forgot to ask - How is Paul Digby doing? I see he’s suspended today which I’m glad about.

Really well from what I read from afar, contender for PoS for quite a few.

He was a victim of Steve Evans buying several centre midfielders so never had a chance here, never heard what you paid for him.

I noticed that week or two ago now, is having two accounts against the rules on here? I’d hope so.

You only noticed now? Having a conversation with yourself on 2 different accounts which always appeared online at the same time as each other. :doh:
