That should not be too difficult.

Stags current PPG 1.18 over a season would total of 54 points.
Stags would need to have a PPG of 1.76 for the rest of the season to reach the Play-Offs, which is usually Top 3 form.
Stags are 7 points from the relegation zone and only 6 points from the Play-Offs.
I'm hoping I don't have to change the title thread again.

We seem to keep picking up injuries in the same positions, either both centre halves or both midfielders now again yesterday without both strikers Oates & DJ.
Once Bowery went off yesterday we were left with just youth players really, and that will not be enough against most teams, as has already been proven this season

We have just had a terrible run of form, which is unlikely to happen again but we’re still in touch with the playoff pack.
The strength in depth argument is complete nonsense. Yesterday we had Gordon and Rawson on the bench and we’re missing Johnson, Oates and Lapslie through injury. We never missed a beat.
I’m also confident we’ll strengthen further in January.
Re yesterday’s game, we looked less effective in the last half an hour because we had two kids in the pitch, who did well but are still developing.
There is every reason to think we can grab a playoff place.

Getting 3 points against Scunthorpe was massive and we did it without Johnson, Lapslie, Oates,, Nartey, we finished with Three youngsters on the pitch Stirk, Sinclair, Gale,
While Scunthorpe came at us with nothing to lose being 3-1 down, , With youth and Academy players being our future, i was pleased with the job they did.
Can Stags Make The Play Offs, does it matter losing in the play offs leaves a shadow on the season any way.
We cannot afford a new stand, or a Hotel, or afford players needed for league 1, We have to build a team like a jig saw puzzle, 1 piece at a time, top 10 is comfortable

Not really, 6 points off the playoffs in a very poor league after we hadn't won in how many games???... were not a bad side at all and some strong signings coming in January.
Were beating the teams around us at the minute, beat those above us when the time comes and we will go from there.

So do you know who they are. Positions, from which leagues?

An injury to Quinn is my biggest fear. He really does make a massive difference to this side.

Agreed, he is one of our best signings for many years. It is good to see a played who has been at the highest level have such enthusiasm, clearly love playing for us and make such a difference to the way we play

I don't know where you keep getting this idea about not affording players, the stand or the hotel from.
We have the money for whatever is needed at the time, Clough, Quinn, Johnson Hawkins and Bishop to name a few, regarding the stand and the hotel, the money will be there when the time comes just like it was for the new training grounds and academy.
Without trying to cause any offence we are not Derby or Burton or most league clubs, we are Mansfield Town and we are lucky enough to have the owners who will give everything needed to get us success when the time is right.

Not been told names
Just know Sharpe wants a strong squad that can compete, no second string backups that are well below the standard, Planning started pretty much after deadline day. Rollin, O'keefe looking like they will both be gone at the minute, Walsall very keen on him and few clubs like O'keefe. Burke out on loan looks likely. Ins will depend on outs by the sounds of it.

From the presser today young Nigel seems to have rubbished your claim of 'some strong signings coming in January'.
