At the half way stage in the season the Stags are 5 points BEHIND where they were last season, but a mirrored second half of the campaign would see them ten points better off in comparison.

With the league so tight, would a mirrored points gain be enough and can the two new arrivals (at the time of writing!) make an instant impact in the FA cup this Sunday?

Winning at Bolton, a side unbeaten at home in their previous 26 games in all competitions, with (in reality) just nine fit players shouldn't even be a thing - and yet, stealing a 1-0 win with 21% possession is just so Mansfield!

The victory capped off the calendar year in style and gives us something to smile about, with more tough games coming thick and fast as we start 2026!

Join us as we discuss all of that and more, including the traditional end of year quiz - and as ever we welcome your views, opinions, observations, questions and comments in the live feed....
