5. Stephen McLaughlin - 6
Came on for Sweeney on 64 minutes and slotted in well with a steady 30 minutes in his usual left-back berth as Stags switched to a back four. Photo: Chris & Jeanette Holloway
6. Louis Reed - 7
Typical bustling display from Reed, especially in the first half, with pleny of important tackles to break up Wigan attacks and smart use of the ball to get Stags going. Unlucky not to add a goal to his performance after seeing a shot well saved just after the break. Photo: Chris & Jeanette Holloway
7. Lucas Akins - 7
Made an excellent tackle on Fraser Murray to stop a dangerous attack on 15 minutes and showed his defensive qualities throughout, Cool finish to get Stags level again, but had a quieter second half. Photo: Chris Holloway
8. Nathan Moriah-Welsh - 6
Put a good shift and tried to make thing happen but could have done with a few more runs foward. Steady but far from spectacular Photo: UGC
