Nigel Clough is delighted by Mansfield Town's change in fortunes at One Call Stadium.

Tonight's 2-1 win over Salford City came just three days after the 4-0 win over Port Vale, the club's first League Two home win of the campaign.

“We want to make it a difficult place to come, even without supporters," Clough told iFollow Stags.

"I thought the quality of the football was outstanding tonight.

“Second-half was a different proposition, we had to fight, scrap and defend at times.

"When we had opportunities, I thought we were a bit unlucky nothing dropped for us in the second-half."

George Lapslie fired the Stags in front before Jordan Bowery netted his sixth goal in four games, the Ammies pulling one back in time added on.

“We scored two great goals again, and could’ve had more," Clough continued.

"He (Bowery) had another couple of half opportunities as well, but it’s lovely to see him with a big smile on his face with the goals he’s scoring at the moment.

“We just want to stay the front foot. We’ll do less running that way if we keep working and keep them in their half.

"Some of the one and two-touch football around their penalty area was brilliant tonight.

“It was a whole team performance. You couldn’t pick a man of the match tonight – there were 11 of them."
