That pass from Mellis...... Had the keeper not saved it it'd be all over goal of the weekend polls. May still do if it's a poor quality goal weekend

Agree. That was a visionary ball. Pure class.

You can't even say it was a hopeful ball. CJ told him exactly where he wanted it and Mellis put it exactly where it needed to go.

I am quite enjoying this CJ up front tactic. Then move him out wide later on. CJ would still be running round now had the game carried on playing until now. A big factor in this is DF's insistence on fitness work. When I saw the videos in pre-season showing all the work DF was putting in has paid dividends.

That Mellis pass would be applauded in the Premiership, he is a class act this season.
Mansfield Town, my club even though been exiled in London since 1983.

Yes Gazza, I think CJ has filled the role.
We should get cover for left/right back (if youth isn’t the option) and leave CJ further forward.

David Flitcroft's best decision this season has been to stop playing CJ Hamilton at right wing back. We are much more of an attacking threat with CJ on the left or up front.

I think K Hemmings lack of goal celebration speaks volumes about the trouble they are in.

I actually disagree to a certain extent. We've not lost a game when CJ played RWB. I fact whether it's down the right, left or centre. CJ hasn't put a foot wrong all season for me. I can see why Flitcroft used him as a RWB to "teach" him the defensive side of his game.

Thats the extent I would disagree. However I completely agree that he should be started elsewhere and should only be RWB to cover injuries.

He's a strange one, he's a left winger but we don't play with traditional wingers. He's been so good that we've had to play him and it's almost like we've had to shoehorn him I to the side somehow.
