Mansfield preview

Last updated : 13 July 2006 By Forest

Nottingham Forest travel to Field Mill on Saturday for their fourth friendly of the summer.

Mansfield, currently managed by Peter Shirtliff, finished 16th in League Two last season, a position they will be looking to improve on in 2006/07.

The most well-known player to Forest fans among the Stags squad is Jon-Olav Hjelde. The 34-year-old Norwegian defender made 190 appearances in two spells at the City Ground.

Young midfielder Giles Coke has attracted attention from a number of Championship clubs while the goal threat is set to come from Danny Reet, a 19-year-old striker who impressed after joining Mansfield from Sheffield Wednesday in January.
