Hull City reserves 6-1 Stags reserves
Watkiss furious
with reserves' showing
Teamtalk
Despite the strength of opponents Hull, Stuart Watkiss was
furious with his young sides 6-1 reserve capitulation in
the Avon Insurance League.
They had a team of tried and tested professionals out and
we only had four pros involved so, if the roles were reversed I
suppose I would have expected the same scoreline, he said.
Even so, we were poor and I have told them its not
good enough. The season is not over yet and I dont want
anyone at this club cruising along.
But there was a silver lining for Stags in that Michael Sisson
was man-of-the-match for the visitors and is looking ready to
challenge for a first team place at last.
And fellow midfielder Craig Disley came through his 45 minutes
and should be in the starting line-up on Saturday.

Playing in purple For
Stags:
Bingham, Asher, Clarke, Sisson, Holyoak, Buxton, Lazarus, Disley,
Mitchell, Elliott and Laws. Subs were Hurst, Shaw, Carter,
Robinson and White (Jason).
Hull played a pretty strong side, and were easily the better team throughout, scoring first (though Sisson's equaliser was excellent), made it 2-1 before half-time. Disley came off at half-time - he and Sisson were the only Mansfield players who looked good.
Hull scorers were Clayton Donaldson, Nicky Mohan, Rob Matthews, Adrian Caceres 2 (Southampton trialist) and Nathan Peat.
