Teenage striker Jimmy Knowles played himself into Stags manager David Flitcroft’s thinking after scoring four goals in a midweek win for Mansfield Town Reserves.

Flitcroft said: “I couldn’t get over to the (reserve) game on Tuesday. But we have a brilliant communication line open where we talk about young players and the next generation.
