An Andy Booth goal for Huddersfield has more than likely consigned the Stags to a play off place come the end of the season. The win for Huddersfield has left the Stags trailing the automatic slots by 7 points, with just three games to go. Although the Stags still have to visit the McAlpine stadium soon, even the most optimistic Stags fan is getting the sleeping bag ready for the mad scramble of play off tickets, for when they become available.
The Stags stay in 6th place following the midweek results, and are 5 points clear of Oxford, who slip to 8th, following Yeovil's win over York City. One more win from the remaining three games, should see Mansfield finally secure that play off place.
