Published Date: 17 April 2008
JOHN Mullins admits what has been a decent season for him personally would turn into one to forget if the Stags are relegated.
The young defender has shone at both right back and centre half in a season in which he has matured into one of the club's most consistent performers.

But he said: "All I am concentrating on is staying up.

"It is professional pride. It is all that is in my thoughts. We are all positive and believe we can pull off this 'Great Escape' as it's been dubbed.

"My performances have not been bad, though I always believe I can do better.

"I always give 100 per cent and if we stay up I will think I have had a half-decent season. But if we got relegated it wouldn't be one I would want to look back at. If we do stay up then maybe I will feel I have achieved something.

"The lads in the dressing room want to keep Mansfield Town up. This is a big town and we don't want to be a Conference side.

"We want to stay in the Football League. We keep talking about it but actions speak louder than words and we have to win on Saturday."

Player of the year for me, without question, even ahead of Micky B

Good on Johnny Mullins - my player of the year. Just hope we can keep him next year. Doubt it given Haslam's continual lack of investment - regularly fails to pay good players competitive wages over the past decades (Thanks Keith - at least you've had plenty to spend). Johnny's the sort of lad who we could build a good team around and supporters love his attitude.

Mullins would be a great captain. Play him in the middle with Bappa, Bucko at right back. Don't be too critical Adam he's Mansfield thro and thro and he grafts for the cause! What do you think Dot?

Also ill back up my rant, we concede less silly freekicks when he isnt playing, we have less fouls less cards and most importantly more clean sheets and even with white in net

Mick'heykeith' - I am confident for Saturday, but not so for our future. We need a Dagenham defeat Saturday too!

What would the Chad do without Adam999, dot, and Mick'HeyKeith'? Clearly 3 of the best Stags supporters (I notice Bernie Cat has gone quiet). I know what you mean about Bucko and free kicks, Adam. But he does work hard and never gives up. He wins a lot of 50:50s and sets a good example. It'll be interesting to see how we do for the 2nd match in a row without him in the team. I don't care who plays as long as we win. I think there'll be some unpredictable results amongst County, Dagenham and Chester. There's always the chance that there'll be a shock win. Darlington are on a real downer. I fear Daggers may get a surprise win. I think we may go down unless the Spireites beat County. County are the worst team in the league and by rights should go down. But there's no hiding place now. It's all about us winning - nothing else is good enough (and that's a mathematical fact): 7 points from 9 minimum. The Stags team is good enough to get them (although if Micky B. is not fully fit, it's hard to see who else might score the goals we need). One thing's for sure. Dutch has got to come up with some new ways of breaking teams down - go for the draw and that's us gone. To win 2 of the 3 matches we've got to make and take more chances.
