We were very lucky to get a point away at Mansfield last night,Rickets is a liability and almost cost us a goal on many occasions,the penalty that Mansfield were given was not a penalty but thankfully Rickets made a good save,in the second half Rickets brought a player down which was a stone cold penalty but the ref did'nt give it so we were very lucky there.
I thought we lacked any kind of creativity in midfield and we looked clueless at times,we were solid in defence but we had to do a little too much defending for my liking,the 2 strikers upfront were playing a mile away from each other so any flick on from midfield was quickly intercepted.
If we play like we did last night all season then we will be relegated without a doubt.
The only positive i can think of is Omar Daley looked a threat all game but to be honest him and Nsungu looked our only threat.
Must say our away support was fantastic yet again,there were around 600 away fans and only 2500 or so in the stadium.

That's been our problem all season, no class in midfield. Nicky Law is a class apart but struggling with the lack of quality and support around him. Cracking goal from Nix at the weekend though.

As for Paul Evans, I never want to see that guy in a City shirt again. I'm sorry, but he's just rubbish.

I would have thought the answer to that question would be fairly obvious given that the game got called off about an hour before your post.

How on earth did we manage to win today? Omar Daley was absolute crap and other than his pace he offered nothing today and i lost count of how many times he lost the ball,Thorne and Ndungu looked a threat upfront but as ever they were playing too far away from each other.
The thing that annoyed me about todays performance is that very few of our players actually jumped to try win a header,i think i only saw Wetherall try to win a header but noone else,sort it out quickly McCall.
Stuart made a bold sub with about 10 minutes left when he brought Conlan on for Thorne but thankfully it worked out as Conlon got the winning goal,round of applause must go to McCall for that one.
Overall it was a poor performance and if we had been playing a side with even a little bit of class today we would have lost and perhaps should have lost today to be honest.

City can't afford to try 'win pretty' every week. They can play like that every week as long as there's 3 points at the end of it.

I agree,however some of our play today was very poor indeed especially where half our players refuse to challenge for headers.
