* The unofficial "Official" Boro v Mansfield Town FA Cup 3rd Round Matchday Thread and Programme *

Boyd Munce and Joe Gibson the pick of the bunch there for me. Gibson reminds me of a certain right back Newcastle have just signed! Looks a Wilder player.

Boyd Munce looks cultured and technical and lovely to see him score on his debut after how buzzing he is to be here.

Wonderful goal from Ikpeazu, he’s got a worldy goal in him to be fair.

professional first half now let’s make sure the attitude is good in the second and get the job done.
 
3 regular starters plus 4 young lads from the academy then 2 old timers as well in the starting 11.

Decent game, both sides looking to attack. Great experience for the young lads, playing against an aggressive side.
 
Living dangerously in the last few minutes - we need to get a grip again. Maybe a bit early, but I'm sure Jones and/or Hernandez will be introduced at some point to stretch Mansfield.

Edit - and as I type that, two different subs are getting ready. Shows how much I know. But Crooks should help us steady the ship, and I'd love to see Tav grab a goal in the last half hour.
 
Kokolo showing his inexperience there, messing about with it in a dangerous area. This game isn't won yet.
