I will be missing my first home game in three years and only my 8th I think in the last 20 years, as my sister is getting married and there is zero chance of me worming my way out of not going to the wedding!
The first goal in our games is very key, we've only come from behind to win a game TWICE in the last two years.
Mansfield seem similar to us, they're searching for consistency.
Jay Simpson did actually have a back injury last week, which was why we only had 6 subs (Not taking the piss!) whether or not he is fit Saturday who knows, but we are a better team with him in it.
We've started our last two games really poorly - Stevenage we should've been 1-0 down in the first 15mins, but we scored first, went on to win 3-0 and easily saw the game out and played quite well. Grimsby we had a bad first half, which Alex Cisak kept the score at 0-0, second half we were better and took the chances from Grimsbys mistakes and saw the game out quite well I thought, despite them pulling it back to 2-1. Palmer will be on the bench again I'd have thought.
