ONE TO WATCH
NOT only did Nicky Maynard win promotion with now defunct Bury last season, he was also one of Richie Wellens’ main transfer targets during the summer.
Comically, Town’s 39-year-old manager found out he had missed his target when browsing through social media.
A rather infamous video that showed Stags’ CEO Carolyn Radford picking up the striker from a foreign airport confirmed he had joined the promotion hopefuls.
While those promotion hopes have been slightly dampened by Mansfield’s inconsistent form, Maynard has again proven himself as a capable player - scoring seven league goals this term.
Keeping Maynard quiet could pave the way to another three points for Swindon.
