8 vs 6 on shots to us - encouragingMust be giving it a real go
Hopeful for 2-1

ok, two scenarios are ok for me now; we score 6 in the second half, making Paolo Di Canio's head turn bright purple before falling off his shoulders (where it will then be pounced upon by a small dog - a jack russell perhaps - with much comedy canine football to ensue), or - we get shellacked for 44 minutes somehow manage not to concede a goal, then score 2 in injury, the second of which is scored by Bobby Olejnik after a freak boot out.

Either of those would be fine.

sounds like a good derby match at alfreton, half time score is 3-4 to mansfield!!

Well, by the sounds of things, the lads do not seem at all awestruck by the situation they find themselves in and are showing no fear against the league leaders. They're giving it a damn good go.

I'm saying this only having this fair forum and BBC live text to go by, however. What say you?

Not good enough so far. Really unspectacular game, not a lot in it but Swindon have edged it. As usual we've played pretty football at times, particularly first 15mins, but since then we've found it hard to keep hold of the ball and play the game we know we can. Swindon have done a good job of nullifying us.

Hard to see where we can change it. Morris has been poor, perhaps get Jarvis on there and see what he can do?

bixie another ex torquay player m green scored for mansfield

I was gonna to this as Alfreton is only 15 minutes down the road but we're playing Swindon and THAT is important!

oh jeff, that's worried me now, i was happily believing the sky man and was unconcerned at the scoreline. Sounds like i shouldn't be so trusting of the sky man...coyy.

You just know that the game will finish 4-3, as well...

just a wednesday goal for you then andy, heard theyve hit the post a couple of times in first half?

Dammit Torquay, we are CRAP at kick and chase! It's feck all good whacking it long to Howe, that won't work. Play some bloody football.

Matt.

Call me pessimistic but I don't think we'll win 12-1
