JAKE REEVES won the mind games to convert two penalties in Wimbledon’s win.

The midfielder said: “With the second one, I’ve played with their goalkeeper Sam Slocombe. I thought that he would think I was going to be very confident in myself to put it in the same area – so I guessed that he was going to dive, it’s always a guess, it’s a gamble.”

ADAM CAMPBELL believes it is a positive sign that Crawley eked out victory despite a below par display.

The Crawley forward said: “We have played a lot better this season and come out on the wrong side of the result.

“So I’m buzzing to score a couple today.”

DAVID HORSEMAN is happy to see his Forest Green players arguing with each other.

The Rovers boss said: “I love it, all it is is demanding standards. People are always going to make mistakes, but what we have not had is that little bit of bite.

MANSFIELD 1

Akins 49

JAKE YOUNG says Swindon can target the play-off places after finally ending an eightgame winless streak.

The striker said: “The key word is probably relief because it’s been a tough spell. To put that spell to an end gives us a chance to kick on.

“We are two points off the play-off places so we are not a million miles off if we carry on like we did today we can kick on.”

WREXHAM 6

ANDY CANNON says Paul Mullin’s hat-trick shows the Wrexham striker is back to his best.

Midfielder Cannon said: “That was just like him last season – when he gets the ball in or near the box, it goes in the back of the net. That’s what you expect and he does that so well.

“We needed to bounce back after last weekend (losing at Accrington) and we did that superbly.”
