No. Horrible defending. It was poor individual errors at the back allowing Mansfield these chgances. Better attacking we would be punished.
Easter went down for a pen following the keepers challenge and was about to be booked for diving. No need to dive as Easter had players unmarked who could just tap it in. But he went down. While the ref was about to book Easter for diving, apparently Easter headbutted a player? Got a straight red and not any yellows. DC gone mental with the officials at half time.
Radio saying DC fuming because it wasn't a dive and was a penalty therefore what happened after shouldn't have happened. Radio saying Easter did thrust his head in a headbut move but not sure if contact made but a red would be a right decision so will be a 3 match ban. All because Mansfield players surrounded Easter accusing him of diving.
I think DC will need to consider replacing Lines after 10 or 15 minutes because he won't want to go down to 9 men.
Just as he was hitting form we may lose Easter for 3 games.As soon as he got sent off one of my grandchildren has visited putting me listening to game in danger. Come on Rovers you can do this.
Lines subbed off. Also Leadbitter. Gone 432 formation. Harrison and O Clarke on. Nicholls J Clarke, Lockyer, Parkes, Brown O Clarke, Mansell, Sinclair Harrison, Taylor
Had a chance then. Taylor should have put Harrison through but miss hit the pass. Very brave to keep 2 upon front when a man down. Could be stupid or could be a great decision. But it ius brave though.
