thoroughly enjoyable match by both sides.whoever is coaching mangotsfield is doing a wonderful job

 

[Graham Clark]

An entertaining game and a shame that it wasn’t made available to a wider audience. Full credit to Mangotsfield for making a real game of it. Well organised, physical and committed they posed a few problems but eventually the better class told.

Playing –1-4-2 as the first team Argyle sometimes struggled to play through the thirds and were wasteful with the few chances they did create. Some stand outs - Rutherford and Waruih at wing backs and Jenkins-Davies In midfield. A special mention for Caleb Roberts who oozed class at such a young age In the middle of the park. Looked a real talent. Definitely one to watch and no wonder Neil Dewsnip got him on the path to a professional contract at 17.

However to progress further the team will have to play better than tonight.

Were there any Mangotsfield players who caught the eye?
They are from the South West, after all.

I would imagine a lot of the Mangotsfield players would have been Bristol City and Rovers cast-offs. They're a big fish up in Bristol.

yes I would imagine there are a few good players from Bristol who the pro teams miss. Mangotsfield also had to beat some bigger non league clubs to qualify so they must be half decent. I don’t think it was an analogous fixture to a game between the Argyle & Mangotsfield first teams where you might expect a wider winning margin.
