I thought Stags passed the ball well in the first half, and despite some poor defending for both goals, certainly should have been in front at half time. With the advantage of the wind in the second half, I expected us to take advantage, but for the first half of the 2nd period, it was like watching a different team. They couldn't get hold of the ball, and seemed rushed in possession when they did vet it.
All the new signings showed what they can bring to the team, but also demonstrated why they are playing in League 2, with occasional poor passes, rushed clearances and missed chances.
Yeovil are not a bad team, and have a lot of pace up front that will cause problems for a number of teams.
Disappointed that we didn't get 3 points, but it's an away game early in the season at one of the furthest destinations.
Lots of promise in this team, despite a scrappy performance today. If they can play like they did in the last 30 minutes of the first half, this will be a great season, but if they play like they did in the first 15 minutes of each half, it will be frustrating for everybody.
l'm not sure if there was a man of the match for me, I liked the energy of Bishop, Khan and Macca in midfield, each of them breaking up play and trying to create things. If I was pushed, then Davies put a good shift in and deserved his goal, but should have had a second...
