Defensive lapse upsets Shirtliff
Shirtliff felt his side were more than worth their point
Mansfield manager Peter Shirtliff was left to rue a brief defensive lapse as the Stags took the lead but were held to a 1-1 draw at Grimsby on Friday.
"We are disappointed to only come away with a point, as we played well without getting the result we felt we deserved on the night," Shirtliff explained.
"We tried to play football and I think that showed in the first half.
"But after getting our goal we switched off in defence for a split second and they got back into the game."
