Shirtliff wants Fans Back

Last updated : 16 March 2006 By Editor
Speaking to the Mansfield CHAD, Shirtliff said "I hope the fans come back and get behind us. We took 3,700 fans to Notts County which was followed by just over 3,000 in our next home game which was very disappointing. Hopefully the positive winning football we have been playing will help bring back the fans."

On the upcoming clash with play off chasing Northampton, Shirtliff said "Northampton have a very strong and experienced squad and we expect a good game and a competitive match. But we are in good form and are going into every game full of confidence and looking for a win.

"They gave us a tough game down there and we were very unlucky to get beat by a brilliant strike. I'm expecting another tough game but are confidence is high and it should be an excellent game."

"I don't think we will be bringing anyone else in on loan. We have great competition for places at the moment and we have a strong enough squad to cope with the rest of the season and I am not expecting any players to be departing."

"There is a great atmosphere around the place and I'm confident that whichever first eleven I pick they will play well and give a good account of themselves."
