Don’t think it was for lack of trying, unless they offered paltry amounts. They made Fat Mike offers each time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Probably wrong, but I feel like the last time there was a title race, top 4 race, and relegation battle going this late into the season was 11/12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely lovely if their season just fades away to nowt n all. Howay the Eintracht. Feels like that was a sliding doors moment for them and they've missed the opportunity to kick on.

UncleBuzzcocks Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Salford v Mansfield on sky sports with Matty Longstaff and James Perch playing for Mansfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Early goal for Salford who have to win to keep their tiny playoff hopes alive. Matty just missed a glorious chance a minute after the above post, and I didn't realise Perch was playing. Bristol Rovers will be hoping Mansfield don't win. 1-1 - nice free kick.

Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I've never really followed Longstaff / Mansfield's progress in the same way as I have with Anderson / Bristol R, so apart from the 5 goals, I'm not sure what the general opinion of their fans have been on him. I guess that's largely because he's almost 3 years older, still playing in L2 at 22, failed at Aberdeen etc. and almost like he's peaked at Newcastle with that Man Utd winner, and unlikely to have a future. I wonder what sort of career he goes on to have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 2-1 Mansfield thanks to a pen just before half time. Eventful half. It's so tight for automatic promotion up there, with 4 sides having some sort of chance. Advantage Mansfield as it stands, but then Port Vale play Newport at 3pm (also on Sky) and will have the chance to jump into 3rd themselves. Port Vale have Exeter away on the final day, who have the title in their own hands, Mansfield have Forest Green at home who have led the league for so long but have been struggling for a while, although still in title contention. Northampton who were in 3rd at the start of the day have lowly, but safe, Barrow away on the final day, whereas Rovers have already relegated Scunlhorpe at home, so you could still make a case for all of 4 them to go up automatically, and it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It's actually a very enjoyable match. 2-2 now, and end to end. Lund, who was lucky to stay on the pitch, equalised, and then hit the bar with another header, and then Mansfield could have scored again just before as well. Mansfield have brought a lot of fans, so it's a good atmosphere, and both sides really need the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mansfield born so joins the biggest team in the area / county in Forest, and plays over 200 matches for them. Gets an unlikely move to Premier League Newcastle, even if not vintage Newcastle, and is involved in 81 games there. Moves to Wigan where he is a regular for two years in the Championship, gets to live in West London for a few years at QPR, and then ends his career at his home town club, where he is presumably vice captain. Not bad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 How big is that Bournemouth vs Forest match tomorrow at 7pm? If Bournemouth win they are up, if Forest win then it's massively advantage Forest on the final day, and if they draw, then it's as you were, still advantage Bournemouth, but a tougher looking final day match. In some ways it would have been better if it was the actual final match of the season itself, but at the same time, at least we get a massively high stakes match, rather than it potentially not happening if results in match day 45 went a different way. It sounds strange, but I've warmed to Forest a bit since our takeover, and their great league and especially cup run. They are obviously a significant / traditional club and would offer the Premier League far more than some of the clubs currently there, but when the apathy was in full flow, and we were just stinking out the league looking to finish 17th, I couldn't really be bothered with another club like that buzzing and being delighted to be back, whereas now my mindset is different and I wish them well, if that makes sense.
