New boys Penney and Miller could make their Mansfield bows against Barnet
Posted Friday, February 02, 2018 by PA
Mansfield boss Steve Evans has two deadline day arrivals available for Saturday’s League Two visit of Barnet.
The Stags signed midfielder Matt Penney on loan from Sheffield Wednesday while a similar deal was struck with Peterborough for striker Ricky Miller.
Mansfield could move up to second spot if they win and results go their way this weekend.
But they are still without Jacob Mellis (hamstring) and David Mirfin (knee), who are both a fortnight away from being fit.
Bottom club Barnet have deadline-day signings George Legg, Tin Plavotic and Jordan Nicholson in contention for debuts.
Goalkeeper Legg and defender Plavotic arrived on loan deals from Reading and Bristol City respectively, while forward Nicholson completed a permanent transfer from Peterborough.
Bees manager Graham Westley is likely to remain without first-choice keeper Jamie Stephens (hamstring), along with defender Harry Taylor (metatarsal) and forward Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro (knee).
Left-back Elliott Johnson and striker Dave Tarpey are out with long-term knee injuries.
