Mansfield Town

Manager Paul Cox will be without defenders James Jennings, John Dempster and Martin Riley for our clash with Plymouth Argyle tomorrow (3.00pm).

Jennings is set to serve a one-match ban, whilst Dempster begins a three-match suspension for his red card in our stalemate at Bury in midweek.

Meanwhile, Riley is sidelined due to an achilles injury, which is expected to keep him out of action for two to four weeks.

As a result, Ritchie Sutton could return to the starting xi, whilst John McCombe, Paul Black and Ryan Tafazolli are also in contention.

Having kept seven clean sheets in 13 league matches, it is little surprise that our side currently boast the joint-tightest defence in Sky Bet League Two.

By contrast, The Pilgrims have netted just eight goals this term. Yeovil Town (six) are the only side in the Football League to have scored fewer goals.

Our last two matches, away at Torquay United and Bury, have both finished goalless. Argyle also drew 0-0 with Newport County in midweek.

The Stags currently occupy 7th position in the Sky Bet League Two table, whilst John Sheridan’s outfit find themselves three points above the drop zone, in 19th spot.

Plymouth’s only away win this season was a 3-1 success at Cheltenham Town back in August. Reuben Reid is Argyle’s top scorer with three goals.

Argyle last visited us on the opening day of 2002/03 campaign, when Andy White’s double and strikes by Craig Disley and Colin Larkin helped us to record a 4-3 win.

The Pilgrims have been victorious just once in their last 10 visits to North Nottinghamshire, which was a 3-0 success back in October 2001.

Our full record against Plymouth is as follows: Played 29, Won 6, Drew 7, Lost 16.

The referee for tomorrow’s match is Mr Gary Sutton. He will be assisted by Mr Alf Greenwood and Mr Paul Hobday. The Fourth Official is Mr Robert Ellis.

Mr Sutton last refereed us in the 2008/09 campaign, when we lost 3-2 at Stevenage Borough. He also officiated our 1-0 victory over Histon that term.
