Mansfield confident ahead of Iron visit

The Stags visited Southend on Saturday, coming away with all three points thanks to a hat-trick from Iyseden Christie - and Curle reckons that his side will be a match for anyone in the Third Division.

He said: "What the result will also do, of course, is give us massive confidence going into tomorrow's game. The players can only be lifted by what happened at Southend and they will be in a good frame of mind to take on Scunthorpe.

"It won't be easy - Scunthorpe are a threat and very well organised. But our level of performance was excellent on Saturday and I see no reason why we can't carry that on."
