No need for that opening post Dickie lol. I fully expect all bar one Stags fan to predict a Notts victory or a draw regardless of what history tells us about this fixture.
After the corresponding fixture it would be nice if the pre match predictions didn’t change once the final whistle blows this time

.
Agree with Wooderson, a few games ago this would of been guaranteed pure torture. However with the reinforcements now in and settled , and on the back of two impressive performances we should at least be in with a chance of something.
Saying all that, I wouldn’t be surprised if once again we fail to win or more likely lose. As the whole of L2 knows we can’t beat Mansfield even when we are clearly the better side on paper, or higher in the table or in great form. This time around we aren’t any of those things unless you isolate just two games. I fully expect the usual curse to strike no matter how improved our midfield , defence and overal character is.
Luckily we have surprisingly got 4 points from the last two games which is unexpected to say the least so this is a bit of a free hit.
I’m going 1-3 in a controversial game which include a sending off. The poor performance and defeat at Newport is the perfect prequel to a Stags victory here
