SE03EP05 Beautifully Woeful And The Walking Wounded

There’s an old saying that pride comes before a fall – and that’s certainly true where Mansfield Town are concerned this week. A proud victory on the road to Carlisle backed up by an immense 45 minutes against Leyton Orient – but perfection doesn’t quite happen for the Stags, who went on to surrender a cast-iron 2-0 lead, to lose 3-2 and send the pendulum swinging back into negativity avenue. And if the defensive woes weren’t enough for Dempster to contend with, he’s got an injury list which is growing at a rapid rate, with Neal Bishop and Nicky Maynard definitely missing Saturday’s home class with Stevenage – and defenders Kellan Gordan and Hayden White also looking very doubtful.This week we reflect on what can only be described as a display of beautiful woefulness – as we try and figure out what caused the self-destruct button to be pressed, and try and scramble a side together for Saturday with just one fit striker, who on the Brightside has enjoyed a phenomenal start to the season.As always we’ll have your comments and questions from the live feed, plus tentatively head inside the dressing room to hear from boss John Dempster and long-serving defender, Sir Mal Benning..www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media | iFollow Stags Hosted on Acast.
