Andy Garner urges Mansfield Town to keep momentum going to the end of the season
Andy Garner is urging on-song Mansfield Town to take their growing momentum into the final two games of the seasons
The impressive Stags made it seven points in a week after drubbing Huddersfield Town 4-1 in their own back yard.
It was a statement win which saw dominant Stags control the game from start to finish.
And assistant manager Garner now wants to see Stags keep that run going.
“It was a fantastic performance,” he said. “It’s nice to come away from a big club with a win and we have to keep it going now.
“We are building into next season, but we want to get as many points as we can, it’s as simple as that.
“We are going to try and get three points at Peterborough, we are going to try and get three points against Cardiff.
“We want to finish as high as we can with as many points as we can.
“We have got 2 x 90 minutes left, it’s not a lot. Let’s make sure we work as hard as we can to get a result on Tuesday and against Cardiff.
“It is a shame the season is ending but it is what it is. We have had the chance to make the play-offs this season and we haven’t done it. We have tried but we are not going to be negative about that. We still think we have had a very good season and hopefully we can build on this next season.
“To come here and score four goals is a fantastic result. It is important to get the first goal, it always is.
“There’s no better time to score the second goal than when we did. It kills them.
“We said at half-time we are not holding back and let’s go get another one.”
And Stags did that in style with the third coming via Regan Hendry’s 30 yard stunner.
“It was some strike from Regan,” added Garner. “When I saw him pull his leg back I thought ‘over the bar again’ and all that sort of stuff.
“I don’t think he will hit one sweeter than that, it was a fantastic strike and a lovely finish.
“It was lovely to see it go in and to get another goal. When you see the net bulge it was unbelievable and the gaffer was up straight away. It is lovely to see and brilliant for Regan.”
