“Fair play to them, they came after us.

“We started quite well but we were not relentless enough and we let them back into it, though Mansfield deserve a lot of credit for that as they had a part to play.

“We allowed Mansfield to step onto us and they got a bit of momentum, which was our making.

“Second half I thought we were much better, got a great goal from TC and then saw the game out really well.

“Any win at the minute is excellent and this is a tough, tough place to come.

“We never had real control in the game and Mansfield played their part in that.”
