Last time out
Our last game with Mansfield came towards the end of last season at Rodney Parade. The Stags were in the hunt for a playoff spot and, after some early scares from us, snatched the lead in the 23rd minute, with Hiram Boateng poking a scrappy goal past Joe Day.
The game would remain tight, with County finding Mansfield's keeper Christy Pym in fine form. The visitors would eventually grab the second goal of the afternoon thanks to a brilliant solo effort from James Gale.
Aaron Wildig headed us back into the game in the 86th minute, but it was too little too late, as Mansfield held on to secure a 2-1 win.
