Noah WakefieldHOST
I thought we were actually pretty good, particularly in the first half.
Noah WakefieldHOST
And even with 10 men, John Rooney said it himself in his post-match interview.
Noah WakefieldHOST
He reckons with 10 men, we would have gotten at least a point.
Noah WakefieldHOST
And I'm inclined to agree with him.

Alex ReedHOST
I feel like that is one way where you can really bridge a gap against a team that is on paper better than you is just by being really energetic and putting them off.
Alex ReedHOST
I don't know what you think.
Alex ReedHOST
How should we, how should John Rooney approach this one, do you think, tactically?
Noah WakefieldHOST
Well, yeah, I think both approaches carry their risks.
MarkHOST
Let's go, let's do a tale of the tape.
MarkHOST
The managers, Nigel Clough, he will know all about the FA Cup and John Rooney as well for my boys uh mansfield 12th in league one whereas we are a third in the national league north three wins in five for mansfield three wins in five for mac uh we did beat anstey nomads three nil in the fourth qualifying round replay after we drew one each at the leasing.com stadium um My man to watch, Danny Elliott, missed out on that Crystal Palace game last season with injury.
MarkHOST
He's back, he's fit, looking fitter than ever.
MarkHOST
Ten goals in all competitions.
Jonathan BullGUEST
He made every decision on that side.
Jonathan BullGUEST
So, you know, I saw myself, it took a while, but going into that sporting director role, I think Rob did the more kind of visible and marketing and face of, and then obviously John Rooney did a fantastic job being the new manager.
Jonathan BullGUEST
So there was kind of three of us.
Jonathan BullGUEST
We brought Ant Keran back down from where he was because he was known to us.
Jonathan BullGUEST
every other year we lose money because it's really difficult and this is where the kind of fans have to understand as an owner and a fan I'm split and I'm also highly competitive so I genuinely want to win this league and I want to win the next league and I want to win the league after But it's finding the balance.
Jonathan BullGUEST
We could make this club sustainable tomorrow if we cut the first team budget in half and had what some of the other teams in this league have and finished 13th.
Jonathan BullGUEST
But would as many fans turn up? Would the players be happy with that? Would we lose John Rooney and Fran? The answer is yes to all them things.
Jonathan BullGUEST
People would not be happy.
Matt SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
At home to Macclesfield or Anstey Nomads.
Matt SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Matt SmithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

MarkHOST
There was calls from the fans with the keeper coming very far off his line, but we won't.
MarkHOST
gone about that but Corey Grantham on 21 minutes he opened up the scoring Christian Dibble didn't made a bit of a mess of the shots and Grantham then put the ball in the back of the net bought a few changes from John Rooney Aidan George came on and he provided the cross for Danny Elliott to head home on 81 minutes Ruben Gill was sent off for Anstey as was the manager Conrad Logan um but we go to leicestershire on tuesday night i will be there um i hope the burgers are good uh charlie one worcester one um one for the purists this one um mike calvary on 40 minutes gave charlie the league the national league north squad before a classic classic goal for worcester in the 93rd minute umar on barrack A goalmouth scramble.
MarkHOST
There was about five players in the goalkeeper on the line and he still managed to get it in.
MarkHOST
But that's the type of goal I love.
Alex ReedHOST
The South Shields game, as you say, it just went all wrong I think on that, that left side of defense as you say just, um, C- Borthwick-Jackson getting sort of caught up the field, not tracking back, having balls just played over his head into loads of space.
Alex ReedHOST
And probably the best that we looked was either in the second half against South Shields when, uh, John Rooney told that, that same back line to probably drop a little bit deeper to prevent those runs in behind from Paul Blackett.
Alex ReedHOST
But also in the FA Cup replay at Scarborough as well I thought we were defensively actually really solid in that game, which was nice.
Alex ReedHOST
And that was with a back two of Borthwick-Jackson and Heathcote, and then later on Tom Wilson got brought on and they were just heading and kicking and clearing everything that came to them, and dealt really well I think overall with the, the threats that, that Scarborough had.
Alex ReedHOST
I think he was probably my standout of the outfield players.
Alex ReedHOST
I know Christian Dibble also made a string of good saves as well.
Alex ReedHOST
But yeah, a lot of very strong performances thanks to the change of system from John Rooney in game.
Alex ReedHOST
So, so yeah, as much as I, [laughs] I kind of agree with you there.
DavePANELIST
I mean, just thinking back, you know, the, the reference point of all reference points is, of course, the, uh, Ian Evatt team.
DavePANELIST
And let's, let's not forget, John Rooney wasn't great in his first season, was he?
StevePANELIST
Mm.
StevePANELIST
Oh, no.
