And Sunday

MICHAEL SALISBURY

Assistants: Matthew Lee and Anthony Da Costa

Fourth Official: Peter Wright

Hope they all have great games

Is that Salisbury father or son? I was convinced that the son was poor and the father, much better, but the most recent performance by Salisbury senior was dreadful.

Graham is the elder. Michael is his son.

Shame the ref couldn't make it. Ended up with Breakspear

2nd time in a matter of weeks that Donohue has pulled of a County game.

Hopefully the return leg will see better refereeing.

To be honest we got away with a few last night

We all moan about officials decisions but you got to take your luck when it comes

Had the ref given the obvious fouls against Mansfield players during the match and booked their players for simulation (especially the first half hour) I doubt they'd have got into any of the positions to have threatened our goal to begin with.

Instead of "Long Ball, unpunished foul by Mansfield player, loose ball, breakaway by Mansfield, dive and Mansfield free kick/counterattack and Mansfield chance" it would have gone "Long Ball, free kick to County, County attack". Every time. Though they'd still have had to pick up on Matt being held in the box at every set piece for us to get the numerous penalties we should have had.

Your looking at the game with amber specs we wernt no wall flowers mind

First half of the second leg perfectly illustrated what a difference getting some of the 50/50 decisions can make.
