We're coming for you! We're coming for you! You ****** buggers! We're coming for you!

Cannot wait to get revenge from earlier in the season, I'm sure the atmosphere will be amazing from the Notts fans and everyone will be on their best behavior!

Firstly, I would like to say - I hope there's no trouble between fans (I'm expecting it because of things I'm reading/hearing).

I'm quite confident now, it's the wrong time from the Stags point of view for us to be improving - I'm sure @Dan feels the same way. I just hope the games entertaining and everything which the first home game should have been. I think either side could easily win it, however I am more confident for us because we seem a much different side under Cooper.

I'd like to see the same starting XI as I think everyone played well and earned their place!

**As a note to those travelling, the police have said there is no designated pub for notts fans and we should use the facilities at the stadium as the town centre pubs will be for home fans unless we make our own arrangements

I don't want the pubs anyway so ain't bothered about that. Hope there's no trouble and hope the 'Pies win, and Stanley gets a couple of goals. C'mon Stan i tipped you to score last week on "Meet The Fans" lets have a couple of goals this week, please. COYP. 

would be nice if we got the win but i think it will be closely fought.

cooper will need to be creative because they study teams well imo.

I really hope we beat them, thinking back to earlier in the season still gives me chills from them singing yellows constantly... Its going to be tough but we cannot lose to these!

They destroyed us at ML. Wanted it way more. Can't see Notts going there and winning. A draw I reckon.

3-3 

 

Cracking match, that i cant listen to. Oh well

COYP

I think we have every chance in continuing our form, so although a win would be my prediction - a draw wouldn't be bad.

This said, we must go out and continue playing as a team. We will require organization and discipline, as I do think it will be lively and Mansfield already played to a way which broke us down. We managed to turn that around in the cup game after, however on home soil I think they'll want to do the double this season. Just keep Noble a way from disagreements, play the ball calmly but move it quickly - things should click.

I'm confident that our fans will be rewarded.

Notts have been pushovers on and off the most part of the season.

Time to put this right tomorrow and go to Mansfield with the only thought of winning.

Mansfield are no mugs at home and I will take a draw now.

I think it will be tight, with one goal deciding it if there is a winner.

In some ways think the game could be won or lost in the first ten minutes. Aborah and Noble will be so important tomorrow, if they can play to their strengths then they will influence the rest of the team. 

Heading for the train, looking forward to the match.

Come on you PIES!

Painful and when the trouble kicked off, @magpiejue was caught in the middle of it - her mother is injured (elderly lady). I expected trouble but not from our own, it's just frustrating and wrong on so many levels.

At this stage I'm not bothered it's 4-0 to Mansfield (fair play to them).

But I'm concerned for any fans caught up in the stupidity.

Caps of a horrid season on the pitch and off the pitch. Is it next season yet?

What happened?

That's horrible. Hope Mum is OK.

A total embarrassment. Not one single player emerged with any credit at all. We were desperately poor in all areas, but especially in midfield. Aborah strolled around trying to look fancy and didn't break sweat, Noble was anonymous and Atkinson and Valencic were passengers. I bet we didn't even win 5% of the 50/50 balls in the middle of the park. Our gutless, spineless bunch of wasters made a distinctly moderate team look like world beaters. A thoroughly disgraceful performance.

I totally agree with elite, we were very poor today and even when we did play good football we didn't want to shoot and tried to pass it in when a shot would have been better, none of them can look at themselves and say they gave their all and played well

The game was a write off after they scored so early, I had a feeling that we could be on the end of a whipping.

2-0 down Cooper should have made changes. The formation tweak gave hope but the defending was very poor throughout, lets hope its a relapse but as I said in the PON match report it's a cardinal sin losing 5-0 in a local derby.

One of the worst performances in the last 10 seasons for me. Heartless! No passion or desire.

The less said the better.

I hope @magpiejue 's mum and indeed anyone caught up in any trouble yesterday is OK.
