Mansfield Town captain Jake Buxton is confident the Stags will soon start to climb away from the foot of the League Two table.

Despite reaching the third round of the FA Cup, Billy Dearden's side have won only three league games so far this season and are currently rooted to the foot of the table.

But a defiant Buxton told the Mansfield Chad: "Teams around us got results last weekend and we're now two games behind the other teams, which I think is the main reason why we're back in the bottom two.

"When we play those two games in hand we'll move out of the bottom two.

"Being at the bottom of the league hurts all the players and we have to work hard to drag ourselves up the table. We can't feel sorry for ourselves and we must all fight as a club.

"But we're full of confidence that we can get the results we need. Our home form is good and it's critical that it stays like that in our current situation."
