Mansfield Town form and stats
The visitors are W1-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the League Two.
Mansfield had fun at their own home (Abbey Stadium) last time out, beating Dagenham & Redbridge (after extra-time) 2-1. H. Charsley and N. Maynard scored. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Harrogate Town.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager G. Coughlan when N. Maynard scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 115th minute. Late drama in the previous game, when N. Maynard scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time to defeat Dagenham & Redbridge (after extra-time).
