“I am getting to know everyone and settling into the place.

“The standard is not too different to Scotland, where I was, so it's a bit of an easier transition coming from there.

“I am enjoying it and continuing to get fit and strong.”

Stags twice led today and then trailed 3-2 before Lee Gregory's injury time penalty leveller and Baccus said: “It was a strange game and I thought we had the better chances and could have got all three points, but we will take a point in the end.

“We could have put the game to bed early, I had a great chance myself which I would score on another day and we shut the game down early.

“He (Lee Gregory) showed nerves of steel at the end as it took a while to take the penalty, so I was happy for him.

“Our squad can definitely compete at this level and we have good depth in it.

“We need to continue this form form, work hard and stay humble and I think results will follow.”
