Newport vs Mansfield, play-off semi final

[Stringy]

Well we bloody messed Saturday up didn't we?

 

[Stringy]

Kick off is at 7:45 and is on Sky for anyone interested. I am not feeling confident if I'm honest.

I think the side will be:
Logan,
Hamilton, Pearce, Turner, Sweeney, Benning
MacDonald, Bishop, Mellis
Rose Walker

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

I can only see defeat tonight, probably by 1 goal.

 

[Indian Dan]

Hope the game has more life than this thread!

I dislike Flitcroft, but the Stags fans on here are a decent bunch so I’ll go for them.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

Ajose back with the squad, flip flop must be desperate.

It's not a game we wanted to play in!

 

[Wooderson]

Surprised Benning has been left out, always rated him when I’ve seen him play.

 

[darren gregory]

Newport the only ground i've never been to apart from Salford/ Fylde in League 2.
Or one of my favourite away games Mansfield.

Good luck to both sides, amazed Newport sneaked in so fair play to them.

 

[darren gregory]

Surprised Benning has been left out, always rated him when I’ve seen him play.

If there is a better left back in the division i haven't seen him.

 

[Stringy]

I rate Benning too but he's had two poor games in recent weeks. Think we will be aiming to get Hamilton in down the left. I'm happy enough with tonight's selection.

 

[Lborostag]

At least he replaced Benning with someone who can actually play left wing back rather than a centre mid

 

[Stringy]

So we're all happy with the team?

Mansfield missing out on last day, were probably hoping to be in Magaluf now scruffing teen sluts and celebrating promotion, Newport however have flown into them and will be well up for it. I'm going for Newport home win, they've been a good cup team this season and it's an awful pitch, it might even be put out of Mansfield's grasp before they get it back for the home leg.

Just read this on the BBC live feed

"However, that disappointment should not take away from a remarkable campaign under David Flitcroft, who led the Stags to safety last season and has turned Mansfield into genuine promotion candidates."

And yet some Mansfield fans complain about Flitcroft...

 

[kieran_vale]

Really nice play by Mansfield there to take the lead. Great finish from Hamilton.

 

[Luke Imp]

Newport are a threat from set pieces, they've been under the cosh for most of the game so far, you get a chance to get the ball into the box and he opts to throw it short and lose possession...

 

[spireite]

All the doomsaying Stags fans will look pretty silly when they go on to win the playoffs

I should imagine he did lead us to safety, we were 1 point off the promotion places when he took over!

 

[Stringy]

Conrad Logan or Gordon Banks?

Especially you

 

[Spanishstag]

Loving it pissing it

 

[kieran_vale]

He's been brilliant until just now but that is utterly brainless from Conrad Logan. Undone all his good work.

Game's too soft. Never a penalty.

 

[AdamStag]

So this ref has not given them the most blatant red card going then gives them a penalty which isn’t.

Cheers pal.

 

[Conker]

This referee has absolutely fucked us over, we had a good claim for a penalty, a red card and now that penalty decision to Newport.

 

[Lamby]

Cheers pal.

Was defo a pen, ssh.

 

[spireite]

That's an absolute stonewaller to be fair. Every ref in the world will give that
