Will Lennie keep the same line up?

I don't think so, as well as being suspended Rhys is returning from a back injury. He is away with Wales from next Monday and Lennie has concerns about his availability to play for the National team so I don't think we'll see him replace Steve Jenkins for City v Mansfield.

With Scott Young still struggling I expect to see an unchanged line up of

Alexander, Jenkins, Prior, Barker, Croft, Ainsworth, Boland, Kav, Mahon, Thorne, Earnie.

Weston could be on the bench which will be chosen from Margetson, Legg, Bowen, Bonner, Gordon, Collins.

City should be able to beat a struggling Mansfield but I'm seem to remember saying that about Notts County. Time for focus and support, 9 games to go, this one and the next one at home before we go into a run of three away games in a week. A win tomorrow would see back to back league victories and complete a double over the Stags.

Mansfield player manager Keith Curle serves the last of a three match suspention. I wonder if he still has nightmares from 1994, click here to access the classic video files and download Curle missing a penalty at the Grange End as Cardiff beat Man City in the FA Cup.
