Day 142

Our rivals at the top of the table, Mansfield, just got through a draining FA Cup First Round Replay with Torquay, and we play them in three days. That’s great news for us—we get to face off against a tired Mansfield team.

Star striker Ben Hutchinson looked particularly exhausted. If he plays against us on Saturday, he’ll be below his best. They’ll still have the home ground advantage, though, so the odds won’t be stacked in our favour. Interesting bit of trivia there, actually, in that we’ve yet to lose an away game and they’ve yet to lose a home game this season. More concerning is that they’ve conceded just three goals in ten home matches.
