Grimsby v Mansfield Preview
By: Alex Green
Date: 14/12/2007
WITH only one win at home all season Buckley’s men will hope to get a long awaited second against bottom of the league Mansfield Town. Three points would pull Town further away from relegation while a defeat could be disastrous and maybe terminal for Buckley.

Power struggles and ground restrictions aside it’s a calamitous time to be a Stag, officially the worst club in the Football League after dropping bottom last week. Mansfield will want to retrieve some pride with a win at Blundell Park and why not everybody else does? It’s nearly a year since Bill Dearden (left) returned to Mansfield after driving down Mansfield Road to Meadow Lane where he took charge of over a hundred games for County. With crowds staying away and continual problems with the safety aspect of Field Mill the once proud Stags, who were challenging for promotion a few years ago, are now fighting it out at the bottom and staring up at another 91 league clubs.
Mansfield's away form is an embarrassment with only 3 points from a possible 27 and no wins. Grimsby don't have a better chance of picking up 3 points, which they so desperately need but not everything is so easy. Even with one of the highest league scorers so far this season Boulding's goals still can't stop the desperate position they are in at the back. The real frustration for Mansfield fans is that they will lose by the odd goal or two and not find themselves on the end of a hiding. Every week promise is there and the quality and facilities are all ready to be used. Boulding, Brown and another ex-Mariner McIntosh (left) all have experience at a much higher level of football and it’s this experience that will get them out of the trouble they are in right now. Mansfield are surely too big to be relegated or should we ask Oxford fans that question?
Michael Boulding. Just to twist the knife in to our striker problems both Lester and Boulding find themselves up at the top of the leader board which I'm sure none of you need reminding. The former Mariner has settled in at Mansfield and moved the family in with sibling Rory also at Field Mill. But it’s the older of the two we have to worry about. His lighting pace is still available in abundance and his accuracy has improved since he left Grimsby. Boulding is a real hero now for all Mansfield fans and its surely certain that he will get on the score sheet.
