Sadly can’t see this game going ahead again tonight. Over here in S Yorkshire we’ve about 6 inches of snow and although it’s thawing and rain is forecast this afternoon, the pitch is surely going to be waterlogged. Such a shame really because I think we were all looking forward to seeing one or more of our new signings and I’m sure the players were full of confidence after our win on Saturday. If by some miracle the game does go ahead, I really fancy us to win, so I hope they can defy the odds and get the game on.

www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/forecast/gcrnkg071#?date=2021-02-027 degrees in Mansfield forecast for both 6pm and 7pm. so i'm not buying anything about frozen pitches this time. with not much snow on the ground, and none further forecast. fingers crossed we should be ok. competition for places is going to be intense. Managers job done for him, which is just as well given his motivational skills. might only see 1 signing tonight. not sure which one. i'll go for 1-1.

It's fine down here, ws63 and I'm an hour away. It's currently 10 degrees. I'm afraid the climate gods have just got it in for Yorkshire just now.

That’s great news Andy, we’ve had a good six inches of snow in Barnsley and we’ve all been out clearing the street which is on an incline. Took a workman 3 hours to get here from Rotherham this morning but it’s melting quickly now. It is raining but it’s very light drizzle and forecast to get warmer so hopefully it’ll be on. I’m really looking forward to the game after Saturday and confident that we’ll carry on the winning mood if it does go ahead, so I’ll go for 0-2 to the Whites.

Think only Williams registered in time. Maybe Jensen. Iles was a bit unsure but he said only 1 of those.
Then again could that be the mind games of Evatt, he loves a surprise(is registration common knowledge or could we have got them in and released a wrong "leak".
Sometimes even without the players actually playing it can lift the rest of the squad, like a new manager watching in the stands, had nothing to do with it but suddenly players are running to the ground.
Likes of Delfouenso,Isgrove know that they cant put in those half baked efforts. And Gnahoua has done well to break in but could be out just as fast.

My positivity has returned completely – partly after Saturday and partly after the signings which I am impressed with.
Mansfield are on a 5 game winning run but all runs come to an end.
The manager is hinting that one of the new signings will play tonight. Could be Williams if Lee cannot do 2 games in 4 days. I would like to see the new keeper in soon. Gilks has done a good job so far but eventually should be replaced.
Will Delaney return? Probably shouldn’t as Santos and Baptiste were excellent on Saturday.
I originally had a forecast of 1-1 for this match but we need wins – many wins – to get this season going so another 2-0 win for me.

hopeless. how can they put that out so soon after the last one. looks like they deleted the previous tweet...all good to go. just half an hour before this.
they've clearly got some pitch issues, as Nott County game in National lge is still on..so far.

Well it’s chucking it down here in Barnsley, has been for the last 30 minutes so I still have real fears this will be called off at the last minute. Hope not I’m really looking forward to the game and there aren’t many spare dates left. Also, a win tonight will push us up to 6 points off the play offs with nobody else playing.
