Re: Game going ahead?

I think we won 1-0 at Chesterfield with a Peter Mumby winner.

Mansfield was a bit lively!!

Re: when we signed Gazza from Everton

Thought his first game was midweek v Bradford and he was ok, when we played Sheff U and Wolves they put him under pressure in possession and he was hopeless. Dispossessed in bad positions, after that he was probably only good when the ball wasn't moving.
