From Mansfield Manager Graham Coughlan.
GC: "Swindon are top of the league and winning games of football. For us to give them a competitive match on Saturday, we need our players to turn up and all give an eight or nine out of ten performance. I believe we can do that and we're looking forward to it."
Yep and thats a big ask to have a team sat in 21st place to have a whole team of 8 & 9's.
GC: "I do believe our lads are turning a corner and the mentality is changing. We have to get the balance right in training this week between attacking and defending. We are looking tighter [at the back] and dangerous when we play on the front foot going forward."
Well you have to improve as there are only 3 teams lower than you in the table!
GC: "Jack [Evans] has come in and done well. He's come from under-23 football, which is different to league football. He's growing into it and has done well. He's pushed the midfielders to the next level as he's asking questions about their jerseys."
Up against Doughty and grant plus possibly Lyden he is going to have to be at the top of his game!
GC: "Macca doesn't have a chance of returning for this Saturday - he's still a week or so short. We're aiming to get him back for Northampton but he won't make this weekend."
You can guarantee he will play then!
GC: "Matt Preston picked up a niggle in training on Friday but we'll have to gauge that one in the week. Kellan [Gordon] is some way short - he's been out on the grass but hasn't taken part in any of our sessions."
Or Nigel as the other players call him! I want him to play hes a walking red card!
Kellan Gordon another guaranteed starter then, And he been smoking weed too? tut tut.
