Can we play you every week?: Mansfield have now won all four of their clashes with Salisbury since being relegated into the Blue Square Premier. They won 3-0 at Field Mill last season and have triumphed 3-2 and 1-0 in their matches at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

Mansfield's man of the match: Gary Mills. Just pipped Louis Briscoe for the honour after producing what was arguably his best display in a Mansfield shirt. Tenacious in the tackle, intelligent in possession, he was never far away from the action and put Mansfield's third goal on a plate for Kyle Perry.
