Jelleyman ready for war of attrition

Gareth Jelleyman reckons it could be a war of attrition at Harrogate on Sunday.
"I am sure they will come out the traps flying at us," said the Stags utility man.
"We have to be very professional and do things right – then in the end I hope our fitness will tell.
"I am sure having such a big home crowd compared to normal will lift Harrogate. We know how it lifts us when our fans get behind us at Field Mill.
"We have got to be on our toes on Sunday.
"If we perform anywhere near how we are capable we should get our first away victory of the season on Sunday.
"Then hopefully we can kick on from there. But we know it will be tough.
"Saturday at Rochdale was disappointing and we know we can't slip back into how we were playing before in that first 10 games.
"But confidence is still high in the camp and we have just got to scrub that one off and be positive."
If they can get through, Jelleymen, like the rest of Mansfield, is hoping for a plum third round tie. He said:"I can remember being drawn away to Chelsea when I was at Peterborough and they beat us 5-1 which was quite demoralising.
"They had players like Hasselbaink, Zola, Poyet and Terry playing and we ended up taking a hammering.
"But when we went to Newcastle we pushed them all the way and could have won it on another day. Anything is possible in the FA Cup."
