Mansfield Town 2026/27 League One Preview
Mansfield Town have been the definition of unpredictable. Nigel Clough’s side put five past Luton at the One Call Stadium and then lost 5-0 at Reading a fortnight later, and eight points from seven games leaves them 17th with a goal difference of minus three.
The 3-1-4-2 gives Louis Reed a holding role in front of Elliott Hewitt, Adedeji Oshilaja and Ryan Sweeney, and the goals have been shared thinly – Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Michael Smith and Reed all have two. Regan Hendry has created nine chances and shares the corners with Liam Thompson.
Tenth and 65 points last season was Mansfield’s best finish at this level in years, and Clough has kept the core of it together. The margins have simply not fallen their way so far; a side conceding fewer than two a game is not far from the top half.

Mansfield Town’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Nathan Moriah-Welsh
- Free-Kicks: Louis Reed
- Corners: Liam Thompson, Regan Hendry
Liam Thompson has taken 7 of Mansfield Town’s corners to Regan Hendry’s 7. Louis Reed has had one of the direct free-kicks. Mansfield Town are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Nathan Moriah-Welsh, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
