Looking forward to this encounter should be interesting against the form side of league one.
Belshaw and Finley to return.
Hope Ollie Clarke gets a warm welcome.
Tight game 1 1 is my prediction.

This is a real challenge for Rovers.Coming back from Tuesdays thoroughly disapointing defeat at Oldham Ath against the current 'unbeatables' of MansfieldTown. .We must 'remember' we're a good team.
Ollie absolutely deserves a good reception.
A possible 50 50 between our former tough tackler and Sam Finley our current 'destroyer' is something to look forward to.Pure English EFL.Ouch!
Mansfield Town are probably the form professional team of Great Britain right now.What a fantastic run of results!"Cloughie" has the Stags flying and if we're not on our game they'll think it the 'rutting' season!
As Wareham has 'said',a win today would make our week look not so bad,at least not as bad as it does right now.
Remember Rovers!
We're a good team!
Up the Gas!

The manager said that Connor Taylor could be back too, didn't he? It would give us less stress than waiting for Cian Harries to be jeered and then make a costly mistake.
Mansfield seem to have goals throughout their squad and our Ollie has a few this season already.
Playing the way they do and the way Nigel Clough always sets his teams up, should benefit us. This could and should be a freak game of football and could go either way.

Just got a round robin email from t’clown Barton banging on about wanting more, and noisier, support today after the loss on Tuesday, can’t remember much more even after reading it all as it is in my iPad’s trash bin.
There would be more support if he were to leave, get sacked again, get banned by the FA again, get jailed again…

Hoping for a good contest, with Rovers just edging the 3 points. I would imagine that Connor will play, as it sounds like a condition which he has to live with at the moment, hopefully, for him, it doesn't become more serious.
Should be another good attendance at The Mem too. UTG

Affect bas, sorry but because English is my second language, i made the same mistake and many times. Back to the game, i would be happy with a draw but i see a loss and maybe by a few goals because our defence is dire |

Belshaw and Taylor start. Belshaw, Taylor start indeed, but Evans nowhere 😞 Harries dropped. But Anderson preferred to Thomas raises one of my eyebrows with Evans out. 🧐 |

We have played Mansfield 52 times, W22, D13 & L17 - We have won 6-0, 6-2, 5-0, Lost 5-0 and there have been 2 x 4-4 draws.
Mansfield are known as the Stags, play their home games at Field Mill, which has a capacity of 9,186.
Manager of course is Nigel Clough who played for Nottm.Forest, Liverpool, Man.City, Burton & has 14 England caps.
Has managed Burton in over 900 games, Derby, Sheff.Utd and since November 2020 Mansfield Town.
Mansfield's biggest rivalries are with Chesterfield and Notts County, with Doncaster Rovers tertiary rivals. Bad blood between Chesterfield and Mansfield has links to the miners' strike. Fixtures between Town and County are referred to as Nottinghamshire derbies. More recently, a lesser rivalry has grown with Grimsby Town.
Our old captain Ollie Clarke will play today but ex-gas John-Joe O’Toole signed for League Two side Mansfield Town on a contract until January 2022.
Tough game today, if we take anything from them i will be pleased.

Glad Taylor is back and that he is ok. I’ll go for a close 2-1 today and a reaction to Tuesday night.
Welcome back Olly Clarke, hope you are MOM for Mansfield and you lose! I’ll remember the goals at Telford and Eastleigh in the early days of the Conference. Thank you.
UTG!
