Clough ’n crumble

Mansfield 2 Stockport 1

NIGEL CLOUGH wants Mansfield to take their home form on the road.

Clough’s men came from behind to beat Stockport and make it three straight league wins at home.

Antoni Sarcevic gave Stockport a second-half lead but three minutes later goals from Will Swan and Ollie Clarke turned the game around. Mansfield boss Clough said: “I think that is 23 consecutive games in all competitions we have scored here now at the One Call which is incredible for any team and I think we’ve taken something like 49 points out of 54 in the league.

“That is up with anybody in the country. I think the fans have seen some very good games here already this season.

“Now we need to get something on the road.” Stockport boss Dave Challinor said: “If you are playing near your own goal and make mistakes then there is a good chance the ball ends up in the goal. And that is happening far too often and is resulting in us losing games. It’s killing us.

“If it doesn’t change then the personnel has to change.”
