Speaking to the BBC after the match, defender Johny Mullins said "The fans today were magnificent, we just wish we could have given them a goal".
"It was brilliant, the lads had been talking about it all week, and it took me about 20 minutes to take it all in."
"We can't say enough about them, we just wish we could have given them a goal at the end to really celebrate."
The Stags took just over 4,000 to Meadow Lane, it's biggest following in this fixture.
