Never an easy place to go Mansfield away. Always seem to struggle there. I fear them a little but I’m sure they will be fearing us just as much. Would happily take a point given our superb start and their record against us at home but I’m sure Chally and the boys won’t be bothered about that. That’s in the past…so lets get all 3!

I don’t think they’d be risked as a starter, last 15 mins though would be a decent run.
We’d be mad to risk anyone, I can’t really see Challinor changing it too much if at all.

We do always struggle against them, last season we drew at their place despite going ahead and looking quite comfortable.
They’ve still got Flint at the back, he’s experienced but lacks pace, something we can exploit.

We’ve been pretty poor the first half. Fevrier shouldn’t have lost the ball for the goal and Addai should have stopped that all day!
Fortunately we’re back in it through another Wootton header.
We’re attacking the County end this half, hopefully we can attack them and they’ll crumble, as much as we’ve been poor the first half, they don’t look great either, it’s anyone’s game

I’m with you on this. We’ve been bad in spells and they’ve not done much other than capitalise on our error, but not much else in open play.
I just wish JK wouldn’t make it sound like we’re about to score every time we pass the halfway line .

1-1 Mansfield to take the lead and Camps to score late on to rescue a point. Never an easy place to go Mansfield.
Well guessed my friend 
.
Interesting game I thought. Started well and they then came into it and got the goal. We then seemed to spend a lot of time passing along the back and not getting very far. Improved into the second half and I thought we were going to get a winner but it wasn’t to be. Ref was a bit lenient I thought with some of their tacking!

@Wayne I thought the Ref was losing it at times. Some of their tackling went unpunished when I thought he could have given a yellow.
As for our play I don’t think it was that they were difficult to break down, I just think we were a bit too safe with it at times.
One thing that’s not been mentioned, I thought Will Swann looked bright for them on Saturday, led the line well and ran back winning the ball back a few times.
He always looked lovely for Newport, I’m not suggesting we should have gone in for him but he’s certainly not a bad striker at all.

I think you’re thinking of Will Evans mate?
