Hove Albion respectively, continues to see the One Call faithful tested as the slide continued.<\/p>\n<p>Two further defeats saw the losing streak stretched further, and the Stags slipping even further down the league table, to fifteenth, on thirty-seven points; ten points off sixth place Charlton Athletic (the last play-off spot, with a game in hand), the Stags are also, worryingly, just eleven points off fourth-bottom Burton Albion, who sit in the last of four, relegation places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NORTHAMPTON TOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Late September would see the Stags, in the midst of their winning streak, collect a 2-0 win away to Northampton Town, Clough utilising a 3-1-4-2 formation with the following line-up<\/p>\n<p>Christy Pym; Elliott Hewitt, Deji Oshilaja, Baily Cargill; Louis Reed; Keanu Baccus (George Maris), Hiram Boateng (Aaron Lewis), Stephen Quinn (Jordan Bowery), Stephen McLaughlin; Lee Gregory, Will Evans (Ben Waine)<\/p>\n<p>A little over four months later and the Stags faced Northampton again, this time at home, slipping to a 1-0 loss, the hosts\u2019 sixth straight, this time Clough adopting a 3-5-2 formation in the last outing<\/p>\n<p>Christy Pym; Elliott Hewitt, Aden Flint, Jordan Bowery; Lucas Akins, Keanu Baccus (Stephen Quinn), Aaron Lewis (Hiram Boateng), George Maris (Alfie Kilgour), Stephen McLaughlin; Lee Gregory (Jordan Rhodes), Caylan Vickers<\/p>\n<p>Substitutions withstanding, the line-ups are pretty much the same, although recent signings are being integrated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLAYERS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Loyalty does count for a lot in the beautiful game, but it can also come at a cost as well.<\/p>\n<p>At Mansfield, and there\u2019s some really good players on the books shown by their appearances, the struggles this season is not just because of any inexperience at a higher level, but also for lack of back-up.<\/p>\n<p>In Mansfield\u2019s case, that is with their defence where goalkeeper Christy Pym has played 31 times and his understudy, Scott Flinders, five \u2013 and that\u2019s where the department ends \u2013 no main support.<\/p>\n<p>The back-line, and with Alfie Kilgour having returned from a lengthy lay-off, both Stephen McLaughlin and Deji Oshilaja have made more than thirty appearances, and another four have registered twenty plus.<\/p>\n<p>Back-ups in George Williams and Calum McDonald seem to have fallen out-of-favour whilst any further back-up, four academy players with one appearance apiece.<\/p>\n<p>Midfield and stack for the Stags, there\u2019s no real issues there (not there\u2019s issues with the defence, they just need a break\/freshened up), and the additions of Jordan Rhodes and Caylan Vickers up top, should help push things on.<\/p>\n<p>The likes of Aaron Lewis, George Maris, Keanu Baccus, Louis Reed, Hiram Boateng, and Stephen Quinn, as well as a talent pool from the academy, give them strong options in the centre of park, with a defender-or-two able to push forward, and a striker-or-two able to drop back.<\/p>\n<p>Up top, and they need to start firing more, the Stags can rely on a plethora of strikers, Rhodes and Vickers being added to Lucas Akins, Jordan Bowey, Will Evans, and Lee Gregory, as well as a handful others \u2013 however, they\u2019ve only notched 35 goals in 28 games, one more than Rotherham United, two more than Exeter City, and ten less than Peterborough United, all sides beneath them in the table.<\/p>\n<p>A possible line-up, taking into consideration perceived lack of availability, and new signings, for Clough\u2019s side, could look as such (5-3-2)<\/p>\n<p>Christy Pym;<\/p>\n<p>Elliott Hewitt, Alfie Kilgour, Baily Cargill, Aden Flint, Frazer Blake-Tracey;<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Lewis, George Maris, Louis Reed;<\/p>\n<p>Lee Gregory, Jordan Rhodes<\/p>\n<p>(Subs chosen from \u2013 Jordan Bowery, Deji Oshilaja, Aden Flint, Stephen Quinn, Hiram Boateng, Stephen McLaughlin, Caylan Vickers, Lucas Akins, Will Evans, Scott Flinders\/Harrison Leech\/Lincoln Wolf)<\/p>\n<p>Whilst continuing blooding academy players with the like of Taylor Anderson, Darien Wauchope, Finn Flanagan, Ronnie Kokkinos, and McKeal Abdullah being afforded further opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEXT UP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s back-to-back away games for Clough\u2019s Stags as they travel to ninth place Leyton Orient (11 February) followed by a trip to Blackpool four days later (15 February); February closes with back-to-back home games with Lincoln visiting on 18 February, before welcoming high-flying Wrexham on the 23 February \u2013 a tough ask but the Stags will need to aim for maximum points in the first three of those matches ahead of the Wrexham visit.<\/p>\n<p><img  title=\"\"  alt=\"Peter-Mann Mansfield Struggling To Stop The Rot\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.nottinghamsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Peter-Mann.png?resize=150%2C150\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>*Article provided by\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/petermannwriter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peter Mann<\/a><\/em><em>\u00a0(Senior Correspondent).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>*Main image\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mansfieldtownfc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@mansfieldtownfc<\/a> Stags Manager Nigel Clough says &#8220;confidence is dwindling&#8221;.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great start to life in EFL League One would see Nigel Clough\u2019s Mansfield Town side reach the dizzying heights of fourth place, back in late October, following victory away Wigan Athletic.
