There's a lack of steel throughout this team. When things are going well we look really good. Players knock it about and we are unplayable. The problem is when the opposition are in the ascendancy. Too many go into hiding and we lack the guile to turn it around

Some teams will get a real good hiding this season, but those games don't get you promotion. Its the grinding out the win when you really don't deserve it and that's beyond us

My only concern is that we are missing the big awkward centre forward who can come on and win for us.
tippy tappy football is great to watch but sometimes plan c needs deploying.
1-0 up looking like we are under the cosh bring on ???. Hoof it to him and scare them.

Management is so easy :D

Matt Preston brings steel to the team, but he's injured at the moment. There is also solidness from Bishop and Davies.

A Stags fan after the Colchester game made the point to me that he still thought our defence was not strong enough. He doubted that we could go away against a decent side and frustrate them like Colchester did to us. The way we set up in our 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1 system means that we have to stay on the front foot. Once we lose our momentum going forward then we are always likely to concede a goal.

I always thought we needed another centre half if we are playing three at the back. We also only have Hayden White who is a natural right wing back. Paul Anderson could do a job there but he is unlikely to be brought back at the moment as he is out of favour at the moment.
