"I certainly feel I am ready to push for a first-team place against Mansfield.
"Even if I just make the substitutes' bench I will be happy because I'm still determined to play a part this season.
"That decision is down to the gaffer, but I would be thrilled if I was involved - especially against my former club."
"I enjoyed my spell at Field Mill because it gave me a chance in League Two," said Bacon, who left for Hucknall in 2003.
"I was a local lad playing for a local side and, while I was there, it was great.
"But I have moved on now and you can't afford to keep looking back all the time.

"We need a victory because we have had a couple of defeats - against Darlington and Carlisle - in the past 10 days.

"It is important we win those to stand any chance of making the play-offs.
"I don't see why we can't go up because we have a good squad."
