Very well taken goals. Barnard also took his goal well for Stevenage.

Victory should have been more convincing. Even at 2-0 an error let in Mansfield and made for a tense end.
@duncansheekey
Was an excellent performance against really poor opposition but it should have been more comfortable. We missed a host of extremely good chances.
@joe_steward90
It's an excellent start but we need to get a run started. One swallow doesn't make a summer.
@terryed123
Credit where it's due they dug it out. But only we could sign a much needed striker and he gets injured!
@cpmaint
It feels like a new signing having Michael Timlin back in midfield. He makes the side so strong. We seem to miss him when out injured too.
@trevoremery2
Should have been three or four up by half time, but it was a well earned three points against a very poor side.
@danbasildonblue
At least last season the loanees we got started the first game before getting injured!
@schummerdave
Let's hope Sokolik coming back will be a good omen like it was last year.
Well done David Worrall, another good goal to add to his last one, I rate him as a player, along with Deegan
@theessexway
A good result and performance. Should’ve won by more but after the last few weeks who cares!
@essexkilns
Very pleased. Great goal from Ryan Leonard and nice to see us score from a set piece which we don’t do enough.
