Manager Paul Cox will hope his side can finish a positive week by registering maximum points from tomorrow’s trip to Wycombe Wanderers (k/o 3.00pm).
Our side registered their first point in League Two following last Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Exeter City, before our second-string won at Doncaster Rovers in midweek.
Both matches provided many impressive individual performances, which will have left our boss pleased ahead of the trip to Adams Park.
TEAM NEWS:
The Stags will be without goalkeeper Ian Deakin (shoulder) and midfielder Keiran Murtagh (knee) for tomorrow’s trip to Adams Park.
Wycombe skipper Stuart Lewis begins a three-match suspension following his straight red card in the defeat at AFC Wimbledon last weekend.
Meanwhile, Matt Bloomfield could make his long-awaited return to first team action on Saturday.
Bloomfield has been out of action for over a year with a pelvic sheer injury, but played 45 minutes in a midweek friendly win over Maidenhead United.
RECENT FORM:
Our side collected their first point of the 2013/14 campaign following last week’s goalless draw with Exeter City at One Call Stadium.
Meanwhile, The Chairboys lost 1-0 at AFC Wimbledon, but collected three points on the opening day, thanks to a 1-0 home success over Morecambe.
Both teams also fell at the First Round stage in the Capital One Cup.
The Stags lost 2-0 at Tranmere Rovers, whilst Sean St Ledger’s winner deep into stoppage-time earned Leicester City a 2-1 victory over Wycombe at Adams Park.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS:
Our last meeting with Wanderers came in February 2008, when Jefferson Louis struck in stoppage-time to earn us a hard-fought 2-1 win.
Nevertheless, that is the only time we have been victorious on seven previous visits to Adams Park.
Our fell record at The Chairboys’ home is as follows; W1, D4, L2, F7, A8.
