Defender Ryan Tafazolli is set to make his first team debut in our Blue Square Bet Premier clash with Braintree Town this afternoon.
The 20-year-old’s inclusion in the starting XI, in favour of defender Luke Jones, is one of five changes that manager Paul Cox has made to his side.
Chris Clements replaces Anthony Howell in midfield, whilst Lee Beevers comes into the team in favour of wide man Lindon Meikle.
Attacking-midfielder Lee Stevenson starts ahead of Louis Briscoe and Jake Speight replaces suspended striker Matt Green.
The Stags XI is as follows: Marriott, Sutton, Geohaghon, Tafazolli, Beevers, Clements, Murray, Daniel, Stevenson, Rhead, Speight. Subs: Howell, Meikle, Briscoe, Thompson, Jones.
