Mansfield Town match last season's League One points tally with Leyton Orient draw
Mansfield Town played out their sixth 0-0 League One draw of the season as they picked up a point against Leyton Orient on Tuesday night.
Nigel Clough made four changes from the side that lost to Wigan Athletic last weekend, giving the nod to Harry Lewis, Regan Hendry, Joe Gardner and Tyler Roberts. Lewis had previously been absent to attend the birth of his child, providing the opportunity for Anthony Nunez to make his debut in goal against Latics.
Stags travelled to East London for the first of their final six games of the 2025/26 season, hopeful of taking inspiration from their 4-1 win over Leyton Orient the last time these two sides met at the One Call Stadium in August.
The O’s, who are desperate for points to move them further away from the bottom four, registered just one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes at the BetWright Stadium. They move four clear of the danger zone with that result, while Mansfield Town stretch their margin of daylight to seven points.
Stags are now level with last season's overall tally of 54 points, with five games left to play in this campaign. The draw keeps their points tally ticking over as they fight to secure their safety in the league in these final weeks. Mansfield’s final run will see them face Luton Town, Stockport County, Huddersfield Town and Peterborough United, before closing the season at home to Cardiff City.
League One scores around the grounds
Stags weren’t the only side to play out a 0-0 draw on Tuesday night, as Port Vale and Barnsley’s meeting also ended goalless. Promotion hopefuls Bolton enjoyed a dominant 5-1 win at home over fellow play-off competitors Stevenage, while Cardiff held Huddersfield to a 1-1 draw at the Accu Stadium.
Elsewhere, Wigan – who frustrated Mansfield on Saturday – kept their winning run going with a 3-0 victory over Rotherham to take them above Mansfield in the standings.
