Good game and enjoyed it, well played Stags.


They didn't make any mistakes, they were both excellent. Their goal came from Maris giving the ball away and Stone diving over the shot. Not convinced by McLaughlin at left back but he generally did well, as did Perch. Clarke wasn't at it at all and Lapslie still looks lacking in match sharpness. If we had Stanty up front we'd have won 4-1, I've said that many times this season, very frustrating as worse teams than us will go up this season.

Really pleased for young Ty who I've watched closely since he arrived. He's going to do well for us and has like Jim matured physically. Raw as yet but he's so much potential it's unreal. The energy of his age and willingness to fight lost causes will see him cause defences problems. Has to be said, if Maynard was in Ty's starting position for t'goal would he have been bothered?

There was a thread a couple of seasons ago after a pre season game , think it may have been At Retford . I commented then that Ty obviously had potential but it was very obvious he had been used to being the best player in a youth team and he tried to do it all on his own . He was also muscled off the ball far too easy.

Last night showed he more than held his own in a mans game and he is developing in to a very good team player in men’s football.He has also just signed a new contract so it would seem he is happy with his development. Very promising for player and club

The long crawl to safety continues and another game that sums up our season. Play well, fail to take our chances and then make silly errors to give a goal away.

Stephen Quinn was outstanding and he was my Man of the Match yet again. I've given him Man of the Match in 3 out of the last 4 games and he was only just pipped by Tyrese Sinclair at Exeter City. Stephen McLaughlin also played really well down the left and seems to have a good partnership with Quinn. The Irish connection. Our left hand side was really strong especially in the 2nd half - Sweeney, McLaughlin, Quinn, Sinclair.

Tyrese Sinclair had a really good second half especially when he came over to the left and started to link up with Quinn and McLaughlin. He scored a great equaliser - robbing Liam Shephard in the area and firing into the roof of the net and he could easily have had a hat-trick. He ought to have scored from Quinn's great cross in the 3rd minute and put the rebound off the post in the net from Quinn's shot in the 56th minute. He also had a chance to score from a header from McLaughlin's cross in the 40th minute which he might have scored if he had been a foot taller. James Perch was also steaming in behind him.

Ryan Sweeney had a very good game and was rock solid at the back. He even started venturing forward when we were chasing the equaliser. That's two good performances from him on his return to the team. James Perch and Farrend Rawson also played well at the back.

Apart from Stephen Quinn, the rest of our midfield were below average. It took ages for George Maris to get into the game in the first half and he didn't look his usual self. I would have been tempted to have subbed him at half time. That might have meant Stephen Quinn playing in holding midfield though and Quinn was doing really well on the left. Ollie Clarke could have moved to that position but he was not having his best game either and was giving the ball away a lot. It's interesting to note that Michael Flynn told Lewis Collins to go and play off the back of Maris when he came on as a sub because Flynn thought Maris looked tired. Ollie Clarke and George Lapslie worked hard but they are both not back to their best yet. Jordan Bowery worked hard up front as always but I don't think he had a shot at goal. He received the ball in a good position in the area in the 78th minute and needed to smash it with his left foot but tried to turn on to his right.

I felt sorry for Aidan Stone as he had played really well before his bad mistake which brought back memories of Oldham away. He has loads of potential to become a very good keeper. He's generally done well in a struggling side in what is his breakthrough season. I'm sure Nigel Clough is probably thinking of replacing Marek Stech and keeping Aidan as a No 2 keeper who can push for the No 1 spot.

We are surely going to break the club record of 20 draws for the season.

Agree with those praising Quinn, he is a proper footballer.

I think the goal keeper’s position makes the difference here even though it is only by a few yards. In the first, the keeper is closer making the angle a bit tighter but the Newport keeper stays back giving a bigger target. Fine margins.

I think that's harsh Darren. He had no chance with that. It was just unlucky that it rebounded away from three of our players who were unmarked in the box.

Otherwise I agree with your assessment, which is excellent as usual.

Certainly played a part but the option to go high was still available to Ty at Exeter.

He's got a lot of power in that right foot, another yard out from the free kick and it was in.
Not watched the highlights yet but thought the free kick deflected slightly up.

A real goalmouth poacher would have been anticipating that hitting the post. Arguably Tyrese should have been throwing himself at Quinn's cross shot and tucking it away first time. I'm sure Tyrese's annoyed with himself that he did not get on the end of it and I bet Nigel Clough thinks the same.

A bit harsh, he was behind the defender and didn't see the ball til it hit the post, he might of heard it before seeing it.

I don't think Clough does think that. He said to me that Sinclair should have done better with the two first half chances, and didn't mention that one. He just said that Quinn was unlucky.

As Rob mentioned earlier, Stanty would have stuck that one away :lol:

It's these fine margins we need to improve on to win games.

He said worse teams than us will go up this season. In my experience the teams that are promoted are the better teams as they have won more points. Our performances this season haven't been good enough to earn promotion. After 40 games the league table is a good indicator which teams have earned promotion. Sadly our league position reflects that we have not been a good team over the season.
Next season we will be better.

We can outplay most teams but we don’t have any decent strikers so ultimately we are pretty rubbish to be honest, without scoring the goals it’s worthless.

Still, I'm glad Clough came in when he did. If we'd have stuck with GC for even a couple more games we could've been in a much worse position that what we are in now.

Our strikers aren't the best, but we need to stop these silly errors. It's almost 1 a game that leads to a goal. The game yesterday would've been a perfect performance if Maris and Stone hadn't ballsed up

There i was thinking Stone was having a good game, when in a few seconds a terrible mistake puts us on the back foot, I know Maris being robbed of the ball was also a mistake.
The way the team responded to going behind was very good, and for Sinclair to score with 6 minutes to go was fantastic and to see how the rest of the team enjoyed his moment with him had me smiling, i thought it was a good performance but mistakes cost us again,
Our results are still not making us safe and means i am watching the Southend games so i have tension twice a week thanks to ifollow 3 hrs to Crawley game.

Rob is right. Worse teams than us will go up this season. Thats what the data tells us. They have more points than us, but it very simplistic to simply say they are better as there are too many variables at play.

We have been constantly let down by having no striker and poor goalkeeping. this is also shown within the performance data.

These are the reasons I disagree with the fans who think we need a complete clear out. We don't, we need a better front 3 and a first team keeper. If we play exactly the same but have more of a gol threat we'll make the playoffs

Our strikers options in that it’s pretty much Bowery and Reid on their own isn’t even good enough for the division below. But other that that yeah individual mistakes is a huge problem too.

Reid might not be up to league quality, but I don't think Bowery is half as bad as some make out on here.

So by definition having no
goal scoring striker and a poor golkeeper means we don't have a good enough team (at the moment) to justify us being promoted.
The teams in the automatic promotion places have at least 18 points more than us with games in hand. They have performed as a team better than we have.
We may have a better midfield than most however a team includes a defence and a strike force.
The league and ultimately performance data doesn't get you promoted it's about achieving points per game and always has been.

I’d keep Bowery despite his inconsistency, think he can play a part.
