After a bad start to the 2005/06 season which saw the Stags secure only one win in twelve games, manager Carlton Palmer was soon given the axe. His assistant Peter Shirtliff initially took the reigns as a caretaker manager and now has the job until the end of the season. He has steadied the ship at Field Mill, but inconsistency appears to be the Stags main problem. For example, at the weekend they earned a creditable 2-2 draw with Wycombe, yet a few weeks ago they went down 4-0 at Darlington. They lie in 20th place, just four points clear of the drop zone.
Experienced Norwegian defender Jon-Olav Hjelde was a summer signing from Nottingham Forest who has featured in the Stags defence of late. The 33-year-old had two separate spells with Forest. Jonathan D’Laryea is a promising young midfielder who recently signed a permanent deal with Mansfield following a loan move from Manchester City. Lawrence Wilson is a left sided player who only completed his temporary move from Everton to the Stags last week. He made his debut as a substitute in the Wycombe game. In attack they can call upon the experienced Richie Barker (left), who netted against Town last month and has 16 goals this season.
Danny Reet. Young striker who signed for the Stags in the transfer window from Sheffield Wednesday. Already scored against Town this season in a loan spell with Bury. Already netted a couple of goals for Mansfield, the livewire striker will be looking to increase that tally.

Town have enjoyed a less than favourable record against the Stags, although that balance was redressed slightly with the Mariners 2-1 win last month. Field Mill is certainly not a happy hunting ground for Town - they haven’t won there since 1956, failing to win in any of their last 13 visits.

It was just a month ago since the sides last met at Blundell Park. Ben Futcher made his debut at centre back as the Mariners won 2-1. Michael Reddy netted after nine minutes, yet Mansfield were the better side until Richie Barker hit a 79th minute penalty. Then, with just four minutes left on the clock, Andy Parkinson scored to make it 2-1 to Town.
