Stags' Foster ready to tackle Tamworth

LUKE Foster is quietly confident Mansfield Town can complete a league double over Tamworth – and make it five games unbeaten.

The Stags captain feels belief in the camp is growing after victory at the Lamb last month and a win over Salisbury last weekend has sandwiched draws with Hayes and Yeading and Luton.

Foster knows a win over Gary Mills' men would set up the Stags perfectly for Tuesday night's home showdown with fellow Blue Square Premier play-off hopefuls York City.

"We are on a nice run and we are looking pretty good, but we just have to keep focussing on ourselves," he said. "There is a bit of confidence about the team.

"We conceded two goals from deflections last week against Salisbury, but we have also scored four goals.

"We won a lot of second balls last week and got in people's faces and we have to do that again against Tamworth.

"We beat them comfortably at their place and they are not on the best of runs but that does not mean we will take it for granted.

"But if we can play at the right tempo at home there aren't many teams who can stand up to it."
