Published Date:
24 December 2007
MANSFIELD Town boss Billy Dearden made three changes for the Boxing Day match with promotion chasing Peterborough after a late injury crisis.
Central defenders Jake Buxton - who has suffered from tonsilitis since Christmas Eve - and Alex John-Baptiste were both ruled out.
John-Baptistse failed a late fitness test on his recurring back injury which flared up again over Christmas.
Gareth Jelleyman switched from left back to centre half, joined by Austin McIntosh for his first start since picking up a hamstring injury at Accrington.
Dan Martin returned after a three-week lay-off, but had not trained all week.
The Stags are unbeaten in their last three home games but without a League win since 3rd November after just one point from their last five matches.
MANSFIELD TOWN: Muggleton, Mullins, McIntosh, Jelleyman, Martin, Hamshaw, D.Laryea, Dawson, Arnold, Boulding M, McAliskey. Subs: White, Brown, Holmes, Wood, Boulding R.
