Dearden slams awful Stags

Mansfield Town boss Billy Dearden admitted that his side were awful in their 4-0 home thrashing at the hands of Wycombe Wanderers.
The defeat in driving rain and gale-force winds left the Stags still marooned in the League Two relegation places, as Dearden's men failed to build on their excellent FA Cup third round win at Brighton.
He told The Chad: It was an awful performance on an awful night, we were terrible. Conditions were bad, but it was the same for both sides.
"You can't single out anyone on our team. Our lads did not play anything like they can do.
"We were second to everything and I was disappointed with the performance of what was basically the same team that did so well to win at Brighton on Saturday.
"The squad is threadbare right now and we had two YTS players on the bench tonight, but the lads who go out there have to do better than that."
