Stags fans stress Mansfield Town 'can't play without' key duo next season after Peterborough draw
Stags fans are feeling positive with how their 2025/26 season has unfolded, as Mansfield Town now have just one game left before the summer break.
Nigel Clough’s side are up to five games unbeaten following their draw against Peterborough United on Tuesday. Stags’ point against Posh takes them up to 62 points in the League One table, comfortably clear of last campaign’s tally of 54 and well and truly safe from the danger zone.
Mansfield Town have lost just once in their last 14 league games, marking a strong run of form towards the end of the season. They now have just one fixture remaining before the term draws to a close and they can focus on summer recruitment and new contract announcements.
Depending on how other teams above them perform this weekend, Stags have the opportunity to finish as high as ninth in the final League One standings, with a maximum total of 65 points up for grabs. Their final opponents Cardiff City will make the trip to the One Call Stadium, having already comfortably confirmed their promotion to the Championship.
Supporters were pleased with Mansfield’s latest performance against Posh and have had their say on Stags’ run of results in these final weeks of the season. Here’s what has been said following the 0-0 draw at the Weston Homes Stadium.

One of the main takeaways highlighted by fans replying to Mansfield Town’s posts on X was the call for key players Jon Russell and Tyler Roberts to sign new deals at the club. Russell is currently on loan from Barnsley and Roberts’ current deal expires in the summer.
“Sign Jon Russell please. He just had a 10/10 game,” one supporter replied.
“Jon Russell and Tyler Roberts are monsters. We cannot play without them in the next season,” another said.
Roberts also earned praise for his performance against Stockport. Several fans were calling for the striker to be given a contract extension after his goal proved to be the difference for Stags, earning them a big three points.
Supporters have also had their say on Mansfield’s draw against Posh in the comments on Chad’s Facebook page.
“Good season and great Cup runs. All being well, it gives Nigel some big funds to strengthen the team,” one fan wrote.
Another echoed previous calls for Stags needing to tie down Russell and Roberts, highlighting them as key members of this current team.
“Stags needs Tyler Roberts and Jon Russell, will be hard to keep hold of them,” the fan commented.
Mansfield Town have one last match before the season ends for the summer – a final home clash against high-flying Cardiff City, who will make the step up to the Championship next term.
