Mansfield Town v Aston Villa all singing and dancing thread

[PeterWithesShin]

Every now and again Woodward asks a question as if forgetting he doesn't have a co-commentator with him...that is unless he's got an imaginary friend next to him that only he can see.

Maybe he has the same 'friend' that EC1982 was on about earlier?

[Smirker]

Okore hasn't put a foot wrong so far.

[PeterWithesShin]

Am I the only one doft enough to keep waiting for replays?

[PeterWithesShin]

Don't think much of the Haka the second half team were doing.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Ah thats the Tonev I know.

[Smirker]

Am I the only one doft enough to keep waiting for replays?

Nope, same here.

Tonev special there and not in a good way.

Okore hasn't put a foot wrong so far.

Looks very composed. He's not the tallest but he's got a good leap on him.

I was about to say I really do like Bacuna, just as he scoops that chance into another postcode.

Not watching it but I've always liked the look of Bacuna, last summer I said he was my favourite of the new signings.  If we played the right way and had 50-60% possession he'd be a very good fullback but if we're going to play like we did last year he needs to be on the wing.

0-1

[supertom]

1-0 Mansfied. From a corner.

Lambert out

[pauliewalnuts]

Score still showing 0-0, I see.

[Smirker]

I don't see Bacuna as a full back at all.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Nice enough ball in. Shay could have done better.

[paul_e]

I don't see Bacuna as a full back at all.

If you keep the ball well the main things you want from your fullbacks are the ability to get beyond the winger and make things happen and the pace to get back into position if it breaks down.  Where him, Lowton and Bennett have struggled is that whilst they're decent in both of those regards they're not defensively strong enough to hold out in a siege, which is pretty much what we been faced with for the last few years.
