Mansfield Town must learn from early-season frustrations - Graham Coughlan
Mansfield Town must learn from their mistakes as they prepare to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing draw.
That is the view of manager Graham Coughlan who has the task of geeing his Stags up for the weekend's arrival of Exeter City, after two late goals saw a 2-0 lead slip at Brisbane Road.
The squad will report back for training tomorrow, and kick the week of by reliving their draw against Leyton Orient, which followed on from game day one's goalless draw against Tranmere Rovers.
"We'll watch the video on Monday, we'll go through that and put it to bed and then we've certainly got to learn from it," said Coughlan, who doesn't believe the build up to facing the Grecians needs much in terms of tweaking.
"I'll ask the lads for the same again this week as they were onto something.
"They've done extremely well and I have to feel for the dressing room as they should be sitting on six points, two victories and two clean sheets."
Coughlan admitted he was 'fuming' following Saturday's draw, but knows he isn't the only one hurting.
He added: "Fair play to them, they're down, I'll need to pick them up.
"We will, we'll stick together and get back to work."
