After kicking off with successive defeats, Stags have turned it aroind nicely to record three wins in a row.
They face a tough task this weekend with Lincoln City away the task following hitting the big stage in the Carabao Cup at Everton.
But, win, lose or draw, the signs are there that the season will be an easier ride than last year’s nervy end to the season.
Around the league four teams are yet to get a first League One win this season, with Peterborough United, Wycombe, Reading and Port Vale all looking to register their first tick in the win column.
Blackpool and Plymouth – both tipped to have good seasons – have yet to get going with just one win recorded.
At the other end of the table Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town have both enjoyed good starts as they look to secure a return to the Championship.
