Giles Coke on his 1st goal for the Stags:"It was a great time to score my first goal and, playing in the cup against Southampton, what a great game to score it in,"
"I thought we played well all the way through and deserved it.
"Nothing has changed much since the weekend but the players have just got together as a team.
"Rochdale is in the past now and we just want to forget it and move on."
"The fans were right behind us tonight and that's what we need - we want more of that. Now we need to build on this in the League.
Meanwhile Caretaker manager Peter Shirtliff was delighted with the win and performance. "I was delighted for the players tonight.
"After the weekend I challenged them and they responded in exactly the right way.
"They showed the passion and commitment I wanted and you could see the confidence creeping into their play as the game wore on.
"We played particularly well in the second half and I though the fans were top class and created a great atmosphere for us.
"As far as the manager's job is concerned we will just have to wait and see. It is only one game and all I am thinking about now is the game against Wycombe on Saturday."
Saints boss Harry Redknapp said "I made 11 changes tonight and everyone who came in thought they were good enough.
"But they couldn't handle how hard Mansfield worked us. They didn't take their chance.
"They can stroll around at youth and reserve team level, not a problem. But in real football like this you are put under pressure and Mansfield worked their socks off and some of my players found it difficult.
"That's why I believe in the loan sytem as you can see if they can do it in real football.
"If I told some of those players they were going out on loan to Mansfield next week they would look at me as if I was some kind of an idiot!
"They would tell me they were better than Mansfield. But it proved tonight that Mansfield are better than they are.
"There were no real shining lights out there for us tonight and I learned nothing. It was poor.
"I had a feeling all along that this could happen tonight and it did."
