Squad19 Jul 2027

Max Dickov damages knee ligaments — 15 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 15 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market19 Jul 2027

Mansfield Town sign Dylan Williams for $900.0K

The paperwork is done: Dylan Williams joins from Burton Albion in a deal worth $900.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

No thanks: Ryan Yates rejects the move

Mansfield Town had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Nottingham Forest, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Mansfield Town baulk at the price for Yusuf Akhamrich

Tottenham wanted more than $760.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Mansfield Town

Enso González and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Sunderland tell Mansfield Town: Lukas Jensen is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words at Mansfield Town training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nathan Moriah-Welsh is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Mansfield Town are still strangers to each other

11 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Market19 Jul 2027

The Tyler Roberts question follows Mansfield Town around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Tyler Roberts’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad14 Jun 2027

The knee: Max Dickov out for 52 days

52 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Mansfield Town lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

No deal for Oliver Skipp at that price

Mansfield Town offered $5.6M; Leicester City said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market14 Jun 2027

Mansfield Town say no — this time

The offer from AFC Wimbledon for Nathan Moriah-Welsh was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market14 Jun 2027

Louis Reed puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mansfield Town, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

Enso González due for a Mansfield Town medical

Everything agreed with Wolverhampton, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

Mansfield Town rebuffed over Lukáš Červ

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Burnley have kept their man, and Mansfield Town go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Mansfield Town

Samuel Loric was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout14 Jun 2027

Tyler Roberts gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Timothy Morgan out for 46 days

The medical room confirms 46 days on the sidelines for Timothy Morgan, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match13 Feb 2027

Edvin Austbø settles it late for Mansfield Town

The 88th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Edvin Austbø decided nobody was going anywhere. Port Vale had no time left to answer.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Max Dickov says Mansfield Town went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Mansfield Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hugo Magallanes was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets15 Feb 2027

Door shut on Joshua Quarshie

Mansfield Town asked and Newcastle United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A falling-out at Mansfield Town

Samuel Loric and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces15 Feb 2027

The crowd has taken to Edvin Austbø

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match13 Feb 2027

Mansfield Town see off Port Vale

Three points for Mansfield Town, 1‑0 the final word against Port Vale in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match9 Feb 2027

A bad afternoon for Mansfield Town against Rotherham United

0‑1 to Rotherham United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Mark McGuinness: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Mansfield Town will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Market25 Jan 2027

Max Dickov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mansfield Town can pretend not to have heard.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Mansfield Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hugo Magallanes was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Door shut on James McConnell

Mansfield Town asked and Liverpool said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A falling-out at Mansfield Town

Ryan Sweeney and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Victor Adeboyejo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Victor Adeboyejo, and the manager let it.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Liam Thompson runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

A loan move for Mark McGuinness is in the works

Mansfield Town have made the call to Sheffield United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Romelle Donovan is in the works

Mansfield Town have made the call to Brentford. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Match23 Jan 2027

Michael Smith rescues a point for Mansfield Town

It needed Michael Smith to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Bolton Wanderers, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Age has not caught Stephen McLaughlin yet — 8.04

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.04 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Max Dickov says Mansfield Town went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Finn Ashworth

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Mansfield Town

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Reece Cole was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 Oct 2026

Mansfield Town find a way past Rotherham United

Rotherham United made Mansfield Town work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Mansfield Town count the cost of losing Jacob Ward

36 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Omari Forson in the eights

A performance of 8.35 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A late step up for Harry Lewis

At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Alexander Bailey has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Alexander Bailey on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
