Stags Stories with The Chief, Krystian Pearce

Sat, 30 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Kystian Pearce was a true fans favourite who, thanks to a combination of Graham Coughlan and Covid, never had the chance to say goodbye... until now!

The former Stags captain joins us to discuss his five season Stags rollercoaster, where he went from mid table obscurity, to the brink of promotion, before crashing back down again.

Serving five very different managers, the centre back cemented his place at the club and watched it evolve, in this eye opening interview he reveals more about a fragile Mansfield Town being turned into promotion favourites, how Steve Evans and his mate Dodgy created a championship environment, when it really went wrong under Flitcroft, why John Dempster didn't gain the players' respect, and how Graham Coughlan's ghosting behaviour led to a baffling exit.

The chief also speaks openly and honestly about the Sheffield Wednesday pre-season friendly and the incident of racist behaviour, what really happened and how the long lasting impact went unseen.

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 08:42:30 GMT

The Stags have finally put an end to their winless run in League One, thanks to a 1-0 victory over a Reading. It came just days after a narrow defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the FA Cup - a day to be forever proud of. But with a new found confidence, can Clough's side kick on and secure safety with Barnsley and Bradford up next?

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 08:53:59 GMT

The excitement around the town is growing and the national media are honing in as the Stags prepare to take on Premier League leaders Arsenal in the FA Cup 5th round... but delving deep into the Stags core tells a story of frailty as the winless run in the league now stretches to nine.

Can the Stags turn things around in League One on Tuesday night after the lord mayors show, and perhaps even use the big stage as a platform for future improvement?

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 08:41:34 GMT

Never fall in love with a loan player, repeat NEVER fall in love with a loan player...

Jamie McDonnell (& Nottingham Forest) have broken the Stags hearts as that rumoured move to Oxford turned out to be true... but as the tears of sadness flowed, a smile broke through as Oliver Irow, on loan from Spurs, gave us one of the best debuts EVER.

Tonight we'll talk about the T&Cs of loans, transfer business, current form and the big question - with the Stags again teetering in the middle (4 points from the play-offs, six from the drop zone) which direction will they move in?

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 09:34:28 GMT

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?

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:31:51 GMT

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!

SE09EP09 To Me, To You

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 06:59:50 GMT

A late winner from Dom Dwyer secured a deserved three points for Nigel Clough's side, in a week where injury worries mounted and harsh words (towards officials) were had.

Tonight we reflect on that Rotherham victory and discuss plenty of other topics including Clough's honesty and 15 years of Radford family ownership.

SE09EP04 Subtle Tweaks

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 06:52:53 GMT

Two back to back wins in sky Bet League One have coincided with a subtle tweak to the formation - a coincidence? We think not.

As we revert to a back four, tonight we'll discus why we think the tactical tweaks, enforced no doubt by injury, have helped the Stags to put points on the board and bring out the best in certain players.

Also this week, more chat about the (Jordan Bowery) Bishop street stand, a look out what's next, new faces and much more including as ever your views, opinions, observations, questions and comments in the live feed....

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 20:19:52 GMT

There's no denying it - Mansfield Town FC are WOEFUL at the minute, despite a brave fight back at Rotherham to pinch a 3-3 draw, Clough's men fall apart on Monday, missing a golden opportunity to secure safety.

Now we live in hope that Reading can do the job for us, because honestly - left up to us in our final three games, league two next season could be a big possibility!

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:56:21 GMT

It's been a mixed few days for the Stags in the battle against the drop, a poor display at Bristol Rovers brought home all three points, but a good (by this seasons standards!) display at home resulted in a loss... can Clough's men find a happy medium and limp over the line?

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 21:13:28 GMT

With another two defeats collected in the last week, it feels like the Stags are HMS Titanic - heading straight for the Iceberg of relegation.

With star man Lee Gregory OUT for the remainder of the season and several others still missing, the violins are almost playing BUT can the Stags turn the ship around just in time?

It's time to drop some truth bombs before the water, becomes a little too choppy.

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 21:06:55 GMT

Defeat to Wycombe left us "wandering" when Lady Luck is going to shine on the Stags from the officials, but yet again it was another pleasing enough display.

Ahead of the next three games, all against teams in the bottom four, can the Stags find their groove again and complete the only task we came for: survival!

Plus tonight, an honourable mention for "Great Scott" and with not long remaining in the transfer window, we'll look at imbalance on the left and options up top with Gregory (potentially) joining Oates in the medical marquee!

After an FA Cup victory and ending the goalless run, it seemed like things were going well at Bolton too, but then Boateng did a Boateng and Clough's men fell to another defeat... there's lots to talk about and lots of debate to be had.

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 21:19:50 GMT

Multi million spending Birmingham City couldn't stop little Mansfield's excellent start to life in League One, but as the shoe moves to the other foot - can Clough's side weather the storm of being the giant to kill, and enjoy a run in the FA Cup?

SE08EP10 Keeping It Simple

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 20:12:08 GMT

Two wins and two clean sheets on the road have propelled the Stags up to third place in League One with eight games played, but can they maintain that form as they welcome a man who's as fast as lightening, it's frightening - and a Blackpool side unbeaten in six games?

In this week's instalment we'll reflect on excellent goalkeeping and the fine art of keeping it simple, as the Stags collect 17 points... a feat it took until Boxing Day to do the last time they were in League One.

Stags Stories - Martin Pemberton | Mental Health Awareness Special

Wed, 15 May 2024 20:16:58 GMT

TRIGGER WARNING - This podcast may contain subjects that some may find upsetting.

Former Mansfield Town star Martin Pemberton joins us for an episode of Stags Stories like never before - as we tackle Mental Health and Wellbeing, exploring the dark side of what can happen when the full time whistle has blown.

Part of the 2001-02 Promotion squad, Martin shares his memories of that time including how boss Bill Dearden took a chance on him at a time he thought it was over before it begun, and how his two season spell was the best time of his career.

Not only does Martin share more about his time at the Stags, he speaks openly and honestly about his own battles with Mental Health. From being a star on the pitch, to struggling to adapt to a "normal" every day life.

Now running "just 1 to 11 it coaching" - Martin is an advocate for speaking up and uses his own experiences to help others.

In this episode, Martin & Craig speak openly about their own experiences with Mental Health, looking at triggers, signs and more - encouraging people to seek help if they need it, and to use the power of Football for good to check in on friends and family.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 21:05:02 GMT

A case of "After the Lord Mayor's show" hit the Stags at Walsall with the hosts running out 2-1 winners, but would a better line of sight, or even some technology, have made it a different story?

The defeat saw the opportunity to go top of the table pass but results in midweek very much balanced that out - join us to discuss all!

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 20:55:00 GMT

A 4-0 win at Forest Green Rovers seems mild in comparison to the 9-2 romp at home to Harrogate - let's be honest, who saw that coming, and who predicted Boateng getting a start, let alone three goals!! We're here to discuss a mad week, and hold our hands up as we eat a huge dollop of humble pie - fair play H, fair play....

Hi everyone, Craig here. Today (October 10th) is Mental Health Awareness day and there's something I want to share with you all about Mental Health. This Podcast isn't about football and it's totally fine if you don't listen. I discus things which some may find upsetting or triggering, so again please feel free to NOT listen. Likewise, I swear a bit.

I'm fine, this is not about me (well it is in a way but not in the arrogant way) and I'm getting help - it's for you, to hopefully spread the message that it's OK, to not be OK.

As the rain fell to mask our disappointment at last weekend’s typical defeat at the hands of Harrogate, we thought our chances were slim – but thanks to a very late Crewe penalty last night, the Stags have not one but THREE – mathematical chances to finish in the play-offs after all!

But, being mathematical equations means it’s not just as simple as winning – Clough’s men need to rely on ONE other team LOSING (draws will not be enough) whilst they themselves need to score X amount of goals dependant on which team slips up to match.

SE06EP45 Memories of yesteryear and the dreams of tomorrow

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 19:23:35 GMT

Twenty-one years ago, Mansfield Town secured promotion to what’s now League One on home soil.

Ten years ago, One Call Stadium was again a party zone – with the Stags having clinched the conference title and promotion back to the Football League.

In the here and now, four games stand between Nigel Clough’s men having a shot at levelling up to League One once more – but with three of the final four being at home, the question is – can the Stags merge the memories of yesteryear into the dreams of tomorrow, and make them a reality.

When the Stags recorded a win at Swindon last Friday, we all thought the Easter weekend would propel and perhaps even solidify us in the play-offs, but those pesky Easter Gremlins ruined our plans with a 1-1 draw against the leagues bottom side leaving us in limbo.

With six games now to go, the Stags are again on the outside looking in – a point off of the play-offs but with a vital game in hand, will the next seven days see the pendulum swing once more, or have Clough’s men missed their golden opportunity?

Perception is a funny thing, like – is it two solid clean sheets at home, or two wasted opportunities to get a tighter grip on a play-off place? Is it, unbeaten in three, or without a win in four? After two dull 0-0 draws, we’re all a bit in limbo, which with nine games to go – isn’t great!

Tonight we reflect on the previous two games, praise James Gale, take an in depth look at our run-in and much more where ss always we welcome your comments, questions & opinions in the live feed comments!

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 20:13:43 GMT

BUT, was it just plain bad luck or is there something more concerning to address, as the rotten stench of desperation lingers!

Stags Stories With Carlton Palmer - The Other Side of The Story

Sat, 10 Jul 2021 15:09:17 GMT

Carlton Palmer is probably the most controversial man ever to be given the post of Mansfield Town FC manager. Arriving in November 2004 when Keith Curle was suspended, Palmer answered the call for help for long time old-friend Keith Haslam.THAT Relationship coupled with numerous comings and goings of fan favourites was the start of a difficult, sometimes toxic, relationship between Palmer and the fans. Eventually appointed after nearly FIVE MONTHS as Caretaker Manager, Palmer would go onto rebuild the squad for the following season, only to resign in dramatic fashion LIVE on Mansfield 103.2 Radio after a horrendous game at Rochdale.For the first time in detail – Carlton reveals why he walked away, shunting the blame onto one individual – a man he appointed! The interview reveals more from Carlton’s perspective about his tenure as manager, including battles with mental health for his players, tough decisions and fan pressure. …..A note from Craig;We understand that this will be the most controversial episode of the Mansfield Matters Podcast to date, but wish to stress that if a majority of you guys hadn’t backed the idea when Carlton showed interest in coming on the show via Twitter, it wouldn’t have been made. The content we create is ALWAYS for you, fellow supporters of Mansfield Town FC who’ve followed the journey because to them like us, Mansfield always matters.One hesitance we had about inviting Carlton on was that he’d come on and just defend long term friend Keith Haslam – we (Carlton and I) agreed that that wouldn’t happen, it was the opportunity for Carlton to share his story and put a few ghosts to bed, in fairness to him – he keeps that promise.Genuinely we as a Podcast hope you enjoy the episode and leave you to make your own minds up, but reiterate one thing; think before you act (you know what we’re talking about here). I, as the one who hosts/ edits etc, take full responsibility for the airing of this episode – Nathan (who IS featured on the show), along with Cam and Simon (who were unavailable for this one) should not be subject to any negative feedback or abuse as a result of this. It’s a Podcast, it’s a piece of content, nothing more – nothing less.Thanks, as ever, for your support. Craig

Stags Stories With Adam Rundle - I Got Carlton Palmer Sacked!

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 11:46:35 GMT

Winger Adam Rundle faced an uphill battle when he joined the Stags. In January 2005 he was brought in and lined up to replaced fans favourite Wayne Corden on the left hand side of the Mansfield midfield, but soon won supporters over with many a decent display.In his 18 month stint at the Stags, Rundle would become part of a vastly changing Mansfield Town, on and off the pitch, and became part of a dressing room which would see the Stags grace St James’ Park, Newcastle in the FA Cup.Headlines were written on Rundle going back to his home town and, to be fair, he put in a class display – but many years on the now part time singer, reveals why the game on the big stage took its toll on his confidence, anxiety and self-belief.During his Stags Story, Rundle also reveals all about the struggle of living away from home at a young age in some questionable digs – plus reveals how he was the one to spark the resignation of controversial manager Carlton Palmer.This open, honest and thought provoking conversation may contain discussion topics which some people may find upsetting – for support, visit https://www.mind.org.uk/need-urgent-help/using-this-tool Throughout the 2021/22 campaign, we’re supporting the Mind Charity with a variety of fundraising ideas, including a LIVE event coming very soon – help us out by answering a few questions https://bit.ly/LegendsLive2 or by donating to our Ko-Fi page https://ko-fi.com/mansfieldmatters

Stags Stories: Neal Bishop

Sun, 07 Mar 2021 16:58:02 GMT

A year ago today (7th March) not only did supporters not know they wouldn’t be attending a game again for the foreseeable future, but midfielder Neal Bishop didn’t know he’d played his last game for the Stags.Having signed the previous summer, Bishop was an integral part of a Mansfield Town side which pushed for, but ultimately failed to gain, promotion. The following season was a struggle and a change in management, twice, helped the former Notts County and Blackpool man make the decision to hang up his boots at the end of the season and his contract.As Covid prevented a proper send-off, Craig, Nathan and Cam sit down with Bish to reflect on his time at the club – from wonder strikes at West Brom to storming out of team meetings as team mates show a lack of respect to the management, there’s no holding back, as Bish recalls his Stags Story.

The Stags are turning corners, but as Graham Coughlan highlights with a passion - it's not enough to win games and do what he came to do. So this week, Craig and Nathan are back to take a look at the differences Coughlan has made, reflect on indifferent form and much more inbetween! www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags

SE03EP29 In The Eye Of The Storm

Thu, 13 Feb 2020 20:25:00 GMT

Over the last four games the Stags have had a REAL chance to put daylight between themselves and the chasing relegation pack – but two drab draws and two familiar defeats means it’s not just storm Dennis coming to town, there’s a much bigger problem brewingThe Stags need to baton-down-the-hatches and find some security at the back ahead of a home game with Newport County, where old wounds perhaps still cut deep.Also this week we’ll try and put our finger on the exact moment the storm clouds began to form and head inside what must be the most tense dressing room in Sky Bet League Two right now – as Graham Coughlan starts the feel the pressure, and the frustration.Additional Media iFollow Stagswww.mtfcmatters.co.uk

SE03EP28 Opposites Attract

Thu, 30 Jan 2020 21:06:48 GMT

It’s been one hell of a week following the Stags – just when you think you’ve turned a corner with a 3-0 victory over Bradford, jumping for joy – you land Geraldine Granger vicar of Dibley style into a big muddle puddle, as Oldham beat us 3-1 in midweek.This week as the transfer window draws closer to closing we ask if we need any more new faces and try and work out exactly why Mansfield deflated so god dam quickly, with the next three games critical for project survival.As always you can help us out with your theories, comments and questions in the live feed as we head inside the dressing room, going on a journey from MacDonald’s elation – to Coughlan’s deflation…This is the Mansfield Matters Podcast… whatever next! www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags

Thu, 23 Jan 2020 21:20:02 GMT

You know, the Chinese have a range of themes for their years – let’s hope that Mansfield’s isn’t one of same old same old – as yet again, Graham Coughlan’s men play REALLY well at one end, but can’t defend set-plays at the other, ultimately meaning it was a birthday to forget for yours truly, and a long journey home to boot as the Stags lost 3-1One new face was added with the Stags boss hinting more could be added before the window closes, but whilst that remains a mystery – one thing is clear, the Stags need to start improving as four of the next five games see the lads take on the teams around them in what’s fast becoming a relegation battle.This week as Nathan returns we discuss the next five huge battles plus reflect on the see-saw of positive Coughlan progress, vs the old defending errors as we head inside the dressing room to hear from Nicky Maynard and the Stags boss, the true GCAs always we’ll have your comments in the live feed – Can Mansfield turn their fortunes around, can we find an actual 11 as the injuries rack up and what exactly will this squad do, because it’s getting very simple now… sink, or swim.www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 20:33:34 GMT

For 45 minutes it looked like the week on the training ground which Graham Coughlan had been praying for had worked wonders – better football, better attitude, improved approach AND two very well worked goals…. BUT watching Mansfield is never THAT simple, and one moment of miss concentration and static behaviour, ultimately cost us everything.From 2-0 up and comfortable, the Stags found themselves on the ropes, eventually running out on the wrong end of a dramatic 4-3 scoreline.Keeper Bobby Olejnik likened it to hitting rock bottom, and with in form Plymouth up next – the Stags really have got a long way to go to turn this season on it’s head.www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags

SE03EP25 Resolutions

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 21:14:38 GMT

Quitting smoking, stopping drinking, cutting back on the chocolate, seeing the family more, ACTUALLY going to the gym rather than spending £29.99 a month on a promise – all common new year’s resolutions which have been probably been broken by now – just like Mansfield Town have broken theirs.A new year’s day win at Cambridge provided hope, but failure to beat Grimsby Town at home and ultimately losing to a side who had ten men for 80 minutes – means new year, same old Mansfield.The Stags are well and truly in a dogfight and tonight with Nathan away in the sun shine, Cam and I brave the misery of Mansfield to ask the immortal question, one we’ve been putting off and off – can the Stags do the basics, and survive.www.mtfcmatters.co.ukadditional media iFollow Stags

Remember, Remember the 5th of November – I doubt this cold, dark and wet November night will go down in the record books a Mansfield Town promise rockets and cartwheels to light up league two, but on Saturday delivered a dodgy sparkler from the back of Del-Boys van.After a cushty month which has seen boss John Dempster and Otis Khan recognised for their efforts, a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Colchester has sent our hopes hurtling to the floor like the aforementioned market trader in a trendy wine bar.With a tricky FA Cup tie on Saturday at a not so happy home to Chorley, the Stags need to play it nice and cool, rather than end up like plonkers.Tonight in an earlier than usual podcast due to work commitments, we take a look back at November’s false start and look ahead to see if the Stags can make things go with a bang at last, or if a new road may need to be taken, with a prime target back on the market. As always we’ll get your comments, questions and disappointing reactions to my bad bonfire night puns and jokes in the comment, plus hear from the man nominated for manager of the month John Dempster – and the man in form between the sticks, Conrad Logan.

The performance may have improved again, but once more it was the same old story as Mansfield’s sorry start to the season continued, with a 1-0 defeat at home to Plymouth leaving the Stags in 19th with a quarter of the season now played. As Mansfield prepare for a trip to the seaside to face Grimsby, hopes of getting minutes into returning key players were dashed by the rain and postponement of the reserve game – whilst both rain and sun have killed any hope of a live podcast this week – more on that in a minute.So whilst we may not be able to get your comments this week, its probably a good thing given how the results are going – we will however here from John Dempster and Conor Shaugnessy.Additional Media iFollow Stags

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 19:55:04 GMT

There’s an old saying that pride comes before a fall – and that’s certainly true where Mansfield Town are concerned this week. A proud victory on the road to Carlisle backed up by an immense 45 minutes against Leyton Orient – but perfection doesn’t quite happen for the Stags, who went on to surrender a cast-iron 2-0 lead, to lose 3-2 and send the pendulum swinging back into negativity avenue. And if the defensive woes weren’t enough for Dempster to contend with, he’s got an injury list which is growing at a rapid rate, with Neal Bishop and Nicky Maynard definitely missing Saturday’s home class with Stevenage – and defenders Kellan Gordan and Hayden White also looking very doubtful.This week we reflect on what can only be described as a display of beautiful woefulness – as we try and figure out what caused the self-destruct button to be pressed, and try and scramble a side together for Saturday with just one fit striker, who on the Brightside has enjoyed a phenomenal start to the season.As always we’ll have your comments and questions from the live feed, plus tentatively head inside the dressing room to hear from boss John Dempster and long-serving defender, Sir Mal Benning..www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media | iFollow Stags

Continuing our brand new series where Stags fans can hear from former famous faces of the club, we’re back with part two of our interview with two-time Stag Martin Riley - who joins us at the Capo Lounge, to reflect on his three seasons at the club across two different spells.Picking up with the Stags’ beaten in the conference play-off semi-final, Riley explains more about his departure and how the nuptials of boss Paul Cox, ultimately led to his return after just a season away – with the Stags now back in the Football League.Riley talks us over the following two seasons on the pitch, and reflects more on the antics off of it, with stories including the “tunnel of death” where the youth team were given a different kind of footballing lesson – and how Ollie Palmer and Ryan Taffazolli debate over when the titanic sunk. Riley also takes part in the ‘It’s all about you’ quiz and shares many more tales of his Mansfield Town journey. **WARNING This episode contains strong language and content which some may find offensive.

SE02EP44 Sad Leaving - The End Of Season Review Show

Wed, 22 May 2019 20:27:13 GMT

A few weeks ago we hoped that tonight’s show would be the one before Wembley, but alas broken dreams, missed opportunities and in the end – missed penalties meant league two was on the cards once more.The pace of football is quicker than CJ Hamilton at times and now a mere ten days from that defeat we have a new manager AND assistant at the helm ready to try and deliver the league one dream.Here for the final time in series two, we reflect on the season – the good, the bad and the ugly, as we choose our favourite moments, stand out performances and pull no punches in highlighting where it all went wrong!PLUS in a End of the season review show, we’ve squeezed in a quiz, and began to look ahead to the new campaign as John Dempster announces his retained list, ambitions for the transfer market and new assistant manager.THANK YOU to everyone who has watched, listened, commented, shared or interacted in anyway – we could not have done this without YOU! We’ll be back for series three in July and will hopefully be brining you news of a BRAND NEW SERIES very soon indeed!

SE02EP43 Hello Goodbye [The Shock Management Change Special]

Tue, 14 May 2019 19:25:12 GMT

When Mansfield Town crashed out of the play-offs on Sunday via a penalty shootout, few would have thought that despite a failure to achieve promotion that David Flitcroft would be sacked as Stags manager – alas, Football is a ruthless game and today, Flitcroft and his staff were dismissed of their duties, as a new dawn begins – a Dempster Dawn!Tonight in this emergency show Craig, Nathan and Cam reflect on the managerial change at the One Call Stadium and basically try and take it all in as David Flitcroft leaves the Stags, replaced immediately by Academy Manager John Dempster who is now in charge of “all footballing operations” We’ll take a look in depth at the decision to part ways with Flitcroft, was the decision justified or should the Lancastrian have been given one more chance to galvanise us?And as Flitcroft heads for the dole cue and the Stags prepare for another season in League Two, we ask where did it all go wrong, and can the Stags’ new manager pick up the pieces.www.mtfcmatters.co.uk

Fri, 10 May 2019 20:47:02 GMT

You know, anyone can climb a mountain – but only those with grit, determination and bravery will reach the top to be able to appreciate the view from the summit. Yes they’ll be stumbles and falls along the way – but it’s the response to those falls which define your character, and after Mansfield’s 1-1 draw with Newport last night – I’m proud to say that David Flitcroft’s men, are mountain climbers.For the second time this week Craig and Nathan chew the fat over the Mansfield Town rolercoaster, as a vastly improved display sets up an all to play for second leg at the One Call Stadium on Sunday.But as always life following the Stags comes with its controversies, should Mansfield have been playing against ten men, was the referee right to award Newport a late spot-kick, and is Gordon Banks’ save no longer the best save ever made – step forward Conrad Logan!www.mtfcmatters.co.ukadditional media Mansfield Town FC/ iFollow

SE02EP41 No Time For Reflection [Play Off Special 1]

Tue, 07 May 2019 20:27:04 GMT

Eight years ago today [May 7th] Mansfield Town were at Wembley Stadium in the FA Trophy final – a season which ended in heartbreak, well following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to MK Dons which came at the cost of automatic promotion, the Stags must now fight it out to return to Wembley – hoping for the elusive happily ever after.In this bonus play-off special episode myself and Nathan reflect on the result we all hoped would never happen at MK Dons and dust ourselves down, preparing for another week of all or nothing – with a showdown against Newport. But have David Flitcroft and the players been doing the same? What formation should we opt for when Thursday comes? Who should start? and can the Stags get the job done in the end?www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media iFollow Stags/ Mansfield Town FC

SE02EP39 Because Mansfield Matters

Thu, 25 Apr 2019 20:44:15 GMT

Watching Mansfield Town should come with a health warning – as with every single game the pressure to succeed ramps up and the danger of failure intensifies, and over the Easter weekend, boy did we feel that!A magnificent win over Morecambe on Friday sent the Stags to Oldham with a real buzz on Monday, but poor defending and another lack of concentration saw the Stags beaten and back to third.With two games to go and everything still to play for, this week we reflect on an epic Easter, and along with Bishop, Logan and Flitcroft come to one conclusion - that no matter what, only one thing matters now!www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media: IFollow Stags / Mansfield Town FC

Wed, 03 Apr 2019 21:31:59 GMT

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. – Well Mansfield Town have been on some journey this season, no more than Saturday where it took the 224 mile trip to Exeter to rediscover ourselves and bounce back into a more positive position to challenge for promotion, with just six games left to play in the mamouth journey of a league two campaign.The Stags’ luck on the pitch as they silenced Exeter with a 4-1 win switched to off the pitch as promotion rivals Bury and the chasing Tranmere both slipped up in their respective game in hand last night (Tuesday) to make things interesting once more.This week Craig, Nathan & Cam reflect on Mansfield's journey, plus chat about January additions, missing personnel, the potential of Willem Tomlinson and much more, including how the pendulum may continue to swing with six games to go.www.mtfcmatters.co.ukAdditional Media - iFollow Stags

SE02EP34 Fighting On Through

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 18:30:09 GMT

The race for promotion is hotting up and things are getting tight at the top. Whilst there may be ten points difference between Lincoln in first and us in third, only goal difference seperates us from MK Dons in fourth, with a marginal gap of points putting the slightest bit of light between the Stags and those in the remaining play-off places. This week on the Mansfield Matters podcast the pressure has got too much to handle for Nathan, Cam and Simon so Craig is going solo….ish, with just an audio version of the show as listening to his voice is bad enough – let alone looking at his face on the live stream! In this episode he talks about the importance of the 1-1 draw against Lincoln, the solidity of the back three of Preson, Pearce & Sweeney, the impact of Neal Bishop in the middle and why home form could be critical to the final eight games in the promotion quest.Thanks for listening, normal service will be resumed next week with a proper panel of people!
