CITY were booed off after a wretched display in their 3-0 loss at Mansfield.
T&A chief sports writer SIMON PARKER provides the match stats and player ratings from an afternoon to forget.
MAN OF THE MATCH
He conceded three but without keeper Luke McGee City’s humiliation would have been far heavier.
MOMENT OF THE MATCH
Dylan Connolly had a huge chance very early on – put that away and the afternoon may have unfolded in a very different manner.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
City’s lack of any response from the moment that Mansfield took the lead. There was no hint of a fightback.
TACTICS
Gary Bowyer made one change from Colchester as Harry Pritchard started for the first time since December 21. Connor Wood reverted to left back with Adam Henley switching to the right. Clayton Donaldson was back on the bench.
