Holland expects tough task
Mansfield assistant boss Paul Holland knows his side are in for a tough task when they take on high-flying Northampton on Saturday.
The Stags are buoyed by their 5-0 thumping of Boston last weekend, but face a Northampton side who still harbour serious ambitions of automatic promotion from League Two.
Although confidence is high in the Field Mill camp, Holland knows his side will have to be on the top of their game if they are to get a result against the Cobblers.
He told the club's official website: "Northampton are a good team. They were pre-season favourites to go up and I think that they haven't disappointed anybody.
"They are up there or thereabouts so we know that we have to be at least as good as we were at the weekend if we are to get anything out of the game."
