Martin Shaw at Aggborough Another
disappointing away day for the Stags as they lost their fifth consecutive game
away from Field Mill. The key points of the game was some terrible Stags
defending down the Kidderminster right-wing and inability to pick up attackers
in the box from crosses. Stags made one change from the side that had been
held by Carlisle, as Michael Boulding replaced Danny Bacon in attack.
Kidderminster included in their side former Stags striker Stewart `Turbo`
Hadley, who returned to the Harriers side due to injury to
fellow striker Ian Foster. There was a good following from Mansfield with about
300 fans making the journey from East to West Midlands. Stags needed a
lift from somewhere but it never came, and despite having
an even share of possession, like in the first half, Mansfield in truth never
looked like equalising. Again it was the home side that created the better
chances. The best chance was another free header from 6 yards, this time from a
left-wing cross, but Durnin headed well-wide.
