Possession
Mansfield 56% rovers 44%
Shots
Mansfield 17 rovers 3
We’ve stepped down a tier with so say a better team but this doesn’t make good reading

Stats don’t reflect the performance We didn't look threatening going forward (similar to pre-season) and it took a wonder goal for us to score. Lost count of the amount of times we needlessly gave away possession. |

A lot of their attempts were nothing efforts and the majority whilst they were chasing a win when we were down to 10. The stats are correct that we didn’t creat a lot though |

Lost count of the amount of times we needlessly gave away possession. Agreed, I thought we were poor on the ball, especially first half and we weren’t creative enough. I thought we looked solid though and were worth a point. It was more of a comment to say the stats make it seem like a massively one sided affair, which for me, it wasn’t |

It was a fairly even first half. We had a good chance with Anderson through on goal, they had a great chance when the ball was fed to Ollie Clarke in the box who scuffed it. Bit of poor defending on a set piece late on and we trail.
Second half we started very slowly. Literally all Mansfield, I thought it was only a matter of time before they’d score a second. Then Harries hits a belter of a shot from 30 yards, completely out of the blue which gives us energy and hope. The Rovers crowd in magnificent voice, makes a genuine difference you know.
Then it started to revert back to how it was before the goal. Mansfield put pressure on us in search of a winner. We held firm and limited them quite well but with only Saunders isolated up top, there was never any attacking options to play to when we did get the ball.
The Coutts red card incident happened, we went down to ten and chucked two centre backs on to keep the point. It was always going to be us defending for the point after that. Didn’t quite happen in the end thanks to a dubious pen, which was a shame.
Just think you need the context rather than looking at the stats if you haven’t watched it. We were second best true, but that’s not quite the full story of how the game went.

The stats are correct that we didn’t creat a lot though Ok sorry took it as sarcastic but that’s fair enough. Just find it strange we were more than competing against decent league one opposition last year with so say (an awful team) but the lack of goals killed us, like we never really got dominated. Then we hear this is a team we can get behind and we are playing lesser opposition and it looks like we’ve been bossed a little bit. |

Lost count of the amount of times we needlessly gave away possession. This was also happening a lot pre season but also ignored as being 'only pre season'. Its not asking much to expect the team to put a few passes together yet here we are |

Bossed by a squad which has been together a few seasons v a virtually brand new squad with a number of injured players. If a football clubs could just change its entire squad every season w/o any issues why do they bother handing out 2/3 year contracts to most players? |

That squad was pretty much chucked together this summer |

They are also playing against international teams not established league sides like Man C etc. |

I'm a big believer in the only statistic that matters is who scored the most goals.
That said the stats I've seen make for worrying reading, im hoping this is early days and we'll come good

No panic here.
Collins, Pitman, Nicholson (best player in the league) & Finley all to come in.
One down, only 45 to go.
