Welcome back to The Last Word, and another frustrating defeat against Mansfield Town to kick the New Year off on the worst possible note.

Ian Evatt felt the performances merited more, and we had a split in opinion among The Buff regulars, but the bottom line was that despite territorial and possession advantage, Mansfield took three points and moved ahead of Bolton in the league table.

Marc Iles talks you through all the action, Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt chip in with their thoughts, and we hear from Ian Evatt and George Thomason.
