I can honestly say, this was my first thought when the draw was made.
Well not quite the relegation bit, but the feeling that we will get hammered and really don't need this type of distraction in our current position in the league and poor form.
However, as others have mentioned, it could have a positive effect on the players to get themselves fit and up for a scrap, whether its to see where they are in relation to some of the best players in the world or even if it is to just not be humiliated.
It may be the catalyst for a turnaround in our form.
No doubt that our Vincent will be saying to our Neil, "I want to see us do what we did to them here four years ago", although I hope he has learnt a thing or two since that famous day.
One thing is for sure though is that he will want to beat Mansfield even more than pre-draw.... thinking of the spondoolicks between now and the end of Jan.
We'll do Man City at home no problem.
(Mansfield fan)
Whoever Man City play it’s likely it’ll be the Saturday or the Sunday.
They got Bristol the Tuesday before and West Brom the following Wednesday.
A Friday night kick off will probably be unlikely but possible but certainly not the Monday evening.
It’ll be Leeds 2002 all over again.
I know we have to turnover Mansfield first but does anyone have any idea when they will decide what day the Man City game will be played.
I'm flying to Boston on the Saturday morning so I'm hoping for a Friday night game but Ill need to do a little bit of rearranging as I planned to stay at the airport hotel that night.
