First home game of the season and it's a cup game. Most likely low on the list of priorities but Ian Evatt is keen to win as he lives in chesterfield so he thinks it is a derby match which is worrying. Mansfield back in league one present tough opposition. The last fixture between the clubs in 2021 was a ding dong do as king Arthur scored the winner in a 3-2 win at field mill. Team news. Only the 2nd game in and we've lost Forrester for 3 months and Lolos for an unspecified time out. Also out. Mendes Gomes and Williams no return date, Dempsey should be back for the Wrexham game and Jones back in training in 2 weeks. Possible starting 11. Southwood. Toal Forino Johnston. Osei-Tutu Matete Morley Schon. Nlundulu Adeboyejo McAtee. Kick off is 7.45 and live on sky sports plus.

There'll be two or three knocks for the weekend.
Keep the cones locked in the cupboard and kids toys away from the stairs.

You can tell by the number of posts can't you.
Everybody is excited to have drawn Shrewsbury away in the next round.

Out of all the ties drawn our one where we play a team in our division is the worst.
Even the all Championship ties in the southern section are better than ours.

Sorry not been around last few days. Some old issues taken over a bit. Missed most Tuesday. Hope be back for Sunday.

Stock up the fridge with cold ones.
Pass me a beer
We are taking a fluid approach in the run up to the window closing.

It doesn't look good for a quick Lolos return.
Are we grasping at straws asking for a 2nd opinion?

It's Saturday
Finish work at lunchtime. Down the pub for a couple of pints and a pie. Then a stroll down to the ground for the match.
No?
Do I not like all this messing about with fixtures, just because the telly folk say so.

Extended highlights including all the pens. How Mansfield missed the last 2? Pressure on Charles if missed would have gone out. Matete cool as. Let's not let Randell take one of the first 5 next time. I am catching up.
