Another tough home tie against a team that failed in the play offs last term.
Mansfield stand in 8th place having won 3 of their 5 games and losing the other 2. Assuming we haven't added to our squad by then I expect our only change will be to bring Will in to the starting line up and maybe Ali Smith in for Harry. Another hot afternoon.

I’m going pragmatic for this prediction. Need to get one spot on or otherwise I might get pelted by eggs and tomatoes 🍅 next time I’m ggl. Should be a thriller… SU 3 v 0 Mansfield D.Wilson 32’ 53’ 81’ 🎈⚽️

Will the three new players Matt promised us before the end of August, be sitting in the stand today?

Tope the goal-scoring hero again. Would be nice to see him start against Chelsea in mid-week.

Lovely to get another 3 points. Feared the worst when news of the equaliser came in! Did Rose even have a save to make? Good that we’re proving defensively solid even without Goodliffe.

An entertaining game and a good advert for League 2 apart from the ref.
The cooler conditions than the first couple of home games helped: not as energy sapping and no "official" drinks breaks.
Some of our passing (and movement) at times was very crisp - not one of our usual strengths to be honest.
I feared the worst after Mansfield, who looked a very decent side, equalised but it was heartening how the players responded to grab the three points.

So, our cloggers and anti football (Mansfield's pre match forum thread) once again overcame their apparently more refined approach.
Shocking from ref today. No idea when to play advantage. Massively inconsistent especially with use of cards. Appeared not to know the difference between a foul and a fair tackle (the free kick they scored from looked a good tackle from my angle).
Super sub Tope wins the day again. He is improving too as he scored with his first touch today. Against Barrow it was his second.
What a cheat Quinn is too. Caused the first half handbags, feigning injury to try and get Easty in trouble when he Easty had pulled out. Still, previous with Gunter of AFCW already this season. But I suppose to the average Mansfield fan that's not anti football.
Not sure what the hold up was for in second half. Quinn appeared to be involved with that too.
Sutton 3 Mansfield 0. Great 3 points.

Most of the first half we never looked like scoring although our general play was good. Neufville however pounced on to a good through ball ,drove forward and scored to liven up proceedings.A good solo effort. Second half started in the same vein and i wondered how long it would take for Matt to replace the front two. Too long i feared as the ball was just not sticking up front and Mansfield were coming more into the game and eventually equalised. Only then did we make subs and fortunately Tope was on hand to force home a winner which on the balance of play we deserved. Let's hope that Matt can get that extra forward we badly need.

Great 3 points. I had it from 'on high' in the stand that the long hold up was because a comment of a racially offensive nature had been heard.
