Keeper Scott Shearer missed out after taking a nasty knock to the head on Saturday.

The club said yesterday he would be fine to play tonight but it was Brian Jensen on the team sheet after Shearer was believed to have suffered concussion.

That left Mansfield without a back-up keeper on the bench.
