Brief Synopsis!!! (Mansfield)
- Thread starter Mark Pedlar
- Start date
Strange game, could have been all over in the first 15 mins. Quite how Mansfield missed so many good chances was astonishing.
As others have said, getting results when you're having an off day is a good sign!
Kudos to Sarcevic, that was a first class penalty.
Canavan - great goal & great block.
Hardie - lovely burst of pace & a tidy finish!

Thought we looked as if we were starting extra time at 3pm having already played 90.
A 4 day Marbella break (like under Adams) would do us a world of good at the moment.
We’ll take the 3 points and move on ...

And even then...if the ball had not come down and hit him on the head and bounced into the goal it may have been a great save !!?? :greensmile:

That's exactly how I saw it. It was a cracking save onto the bar from a shot out of nowhere. Very unlucky to have bounced down and hit him and gone in the net. He was excellent today in both shot stopping and distribution.

Strange thing to say.
We’re in excellent form & for the most part we’re producing excellent performances.
Nothing needs changing.
Player Ratings: Plymouth Argyle 3 Mansfield 1
Niall Canavan, 8
The goal wasn't his only game-changing intervention, as he parked himself superbly on the goal line in order to deny what was a certain goal when the score was 1-0.
Tyreeq Bakinson - 7
The youngster also offered a great range of passing to supplement the quality of the team, calmly distributing the ball under pressure. Bakinson truly hit the ground running as well as the woodwork, twice!

Agree but it wasn't. He was out of position which caused the issue. He knows that and to be fair to him he didn't know the shot was coming in.
Bakinson thought it was a GK error as well at his mom speech.
Look he had a terrific game and kept us in it, I am a big fan of his but Macey last season would have been hung for that goal on here ( admittedly he wouldnt even g
have got to it) and it was an error. All players make them every game.
And as I said it could have been a pen as well. That's not faultless in my eyes.
Would we have list today without his talents ? Absolutely. Faultless? Nope. :thumbup:
Their goal was a funny one, the 19 comes on, seconds later hopefully swings his left peg at it and catches Palmer and everyone else by surprise, a fluke more than a big error.
I like Bakinson alot, has the occasional switch-off and complacent moment but looks like a capable midfielder i.e. some kind of goal threat, rather than a defender playing midfield, we had to suffer that long enough with Songo'o alongside Steptoe's Dad. If playing a back five we shouldn't be slotting a defender in mid as well should we. But with wing backs and midfield changes relatively frequent we're still looking loose too often, needs improvement. But better lucky than good.
Hardie looks decent, we needed options up front and now we have some, yay.

Hope no-one else in the league gets hold of a video of the first half; it could give
them funny ideas. A combination of giving the ball away in dangerous areas (multiple offenders),
deciding not to bother to try to block/tackle after all (Sawyer), and stopping to appeal for offside
(Bakinson). The only thing worse, thankfully, was Mansfield's atrocious finishing.
We then resorted to far too many long, and generally inaccurate, hoofs.
It wasn't until the last few minutes, when Moore finally reverted to wing back, that we
looked more like our normal selves.. Bakinson my man of the match, and Canavan also
made a huge contribution today. Hardie has pace, and took his goal in a way that must have
made Mansfield fans very envious. Palmer was asleep for the goal.
We got out of jail today, but hopefully it'll have been a learning experience.
