"I am looking forward to going back on Saturday. I enjoyed my time there, despite the problems we had being in administration for 18 months." Dearden told the Mansfield CHAD ahead of the clash.

"To fight the problems we had there and stay in the league we were in, the players did absolutely brilliant.

"It was tough but I always enjoy being involved in football.

"I don't know what manager from any level could have done a better job under those circumstances.

"But I am looking foward to going back and giving them a good game of football.

"Everyone is buzzing right now after our recent results. Some players can get caried away with the cut and thrust of local derbies. But I want to see us play football much better than we did on Tuesday.

"It is a derby and there will be a big crowd - eight or nine thousand - and we will get a tremendous following from here, especially after winning our last three. I hope we can get the result our supporters deserve.
