Danny Rose growing in confidence after broken jaw return
Although not fit enough for a start yet, Mansfield Town striker Danny Rose is growing in confidence as he bids to return from a double break of the jaw.
Rose came on as a sub for the last half-hour against Cambridge and then topped his fitness up with the first hour of the midweek reserves game at Notts County.
So far the injury has not been further damaged and boss David Flitcroft said: “You know it’s there.
“But the more you do the more you get confident. It’s just a confidence thing with Danny now.
“More than anything it’s just about getting the minutes into his legs.
