What position does he play?

From the OS......

"Sutton-born Jimmy Knowles is a centre-forward who was formerly with Nottingham Forest.

Knowles has a great work ethic, possesses bags of pace and has an eye for goal."

Jimmy Knowles played in the youth cup game at Bournemouth. He hit the underside of the bar. Looked a decent player.

Mansfield Town boss David Flitcroft has admitted he probably got it wrong by pitching midfield tiger Alex MacDonald back in too soon in last weekend’s derby defeat at Notts County.

MacDonald looked well short on fitness as a second half substitute, having been sidelined with injury since September.

Flitcroft said: “After being out for such a long time, with Macca’s enthusiasm and the way he’s been in training I probably got caught up in that.

Mansfield Town boss David Flitcroft has ordered his squad to leave the hurt of Saturday’s derby defeat behind them and focus solely on beating Forest Green Rovers on Saturday. The lacklustre 1-0 defeat at bottom club Notts County was a bitter pill for the embarrassed manager, players and fans to swallow.

But Flitcroft told his squad that the hurt had to stop on Monday and he wanted no ‘victim’ behaviour as, after a frank exchange of views at the start of the week, all eyes had to be on the future and securing promotion.

“We were all hurting and I felt that Saturday night, Sunday and into Monday,” said Flitcroft. “But it’s how long you let hurt last and affect you.

The hurt's still there for me David, only a 100% committed performance with the opposing custodian having to put his gloves, shirt and shorts in t'washer afterwards (unlike the Clownty goalie on Sat) will remedy the situation

Why not give the lad a go, he wouldn't do any worse than the lads up front atm with their one shot on goal in two games. If he gets the oppo stopper's gloves dirty just once he'll have done better
