Head2HEAD & Team News - Mansfield Town
Last updated : 06 October 2007 By Bigrich.....
Bottom of the league Mansfield Town will visit Millmoor in what is a big game for both teams.
After picking up just 1 point from 2 poor showings this week, Mark Robins will be looking to his players to produce a better performance after admitting that the fans were getting upset at the poor performances, While Mansfield who are 5 points away from safety already will be hoping they can continue their recent form at Millmoor. Although they have only won 3 of the 31 meetings at Millmoor, the Stags have won their last two games at Millmoor.
Mark Robins will be without Bruce Dyer who has gone back to Doncaster Rovers with a back injury and Liam King will also sit out due to a leg injury. Peter Holmes is in contention for a return after missing the midweek draw at Macclesfield while summer signing from Matlock Town Tom Cahill could make an appearance from the bench.

Despite looking as useful as a chocolate fireguard, Robbo praised his strikeforce of Chris O'Grady and Derek Holmes this week, so we expect to see the duo start the game.
Mansfield have a slight worry over goalkeeper Carl Muggleton who was knocked unconscious during the midweek 2-1 defeat to league leaders MK Dons, however it is expected that he will be fit to keep his place. Former Miller Martin McIntosh is also a doubt with a Hamstring injury while Gareth Jelleyman is a definate absentee with a knee injury.
Local duo Matt Hamshaw and Michael Boulding (who was at Millmoor 18 months ago) are set to play for Mansfield.
A big game for the Millers at home, a chance to redeem thier lacklustre performances of the last few weeks, a win and good performance is a must to keep the home fans onside.
