How Mansfield Town's impressive defensive League One record compares against Lincoln City, Cardiff City, Bradford City and other rivals this season

Mansfield Town may have shipped four goals in their final game of the season but they still finished with an impressive defensive record overall.

It was another competitive and entertaining season in League One, with more than 1,500 goals scored across the board. Despite some tough runs of results, Stags wrapped up the season by finishing tenth in the table and smashing last year’s points tally by 11.

Mansfield Town’s defence was an ongoing topic of positive conversation throughout the season and Nigel Clough stated on more than one occasion that he is happy with the defensive signings the club have made over the last 12 months.

With 16 clean sheets in the bag and a losing match tally of no higher than three goals during this rollercoaster 2025/26 season, here’s how Stags fared defensively compared to the rest of League One.
