'Bright as a button' - player ratings from Mansfield Town 3 Chesterfield 5

It was so good, it was easy to forget it was the Jersey Mike’s Trophy.

The rivalry between Chesterfield and Mansfield turned a Group game at Field Mill in an often underwhelming competition into something that really mattered.

On the ropes at 2-0 down, then 3-1, and then the four unanswered goals in as mad a 30 minutes as you’ll see all season.

This was a 5-3 to add to a 5-1, a 4-1 and a 4-3 in the previous three games.

Paul Cook’s side continue to creak at the back and sparkle in attack but rarely fail to entertain. Blink at your peril.

Here’s our player ratings from Field Mill

Zach Hemming 7: Gave the early penalty away but sharpened up to help his team win the second half. Double stop from Luke Bolton was important amidst all the madness.

Junior Eccleston 6: Not easy coming in to keep out a team clearly a notch up on what Chesterfield play week in and week out. Caught out for Mansfield’s second goal. Stuck to his task and was in there grafting right to the end.

Tom Naylor 7: Captain-for-the-night slotted in alongside Kyle McFadzean in central defence. In the right place at the right time help himself to a goal against his home-town club. That’s Naylor’s second in three appearances.

Kyle McFadzean 6: Feeling his way back after the best part of a month out. He’ll be better for a hard shift against Michael Smith and Co.

Tom Pearce 7: Out-done by the wing-back for Mansfield’s opener. Not alone in being stretched at times by some League One-quality attackers. Gets an extra mark for the inviting ball in for Naylor’s header.

Rafiq Lamptey 7: The physicality and pace of the game was a test for the young Millwall loanee. Still helped give Chesterfield a foot-hold with the nicely flighted pass for Joel Randall’s goal right on half time. Booked.

George McEachran 6: Covered loads of ground as always. Did 78 minutes before coming off with a knock.

Dilan Markanday 8: One stray pass, plenty instances of skill and trickery. He’s never far from the action.

Joel Randall 8: The best player in blue in the first half. Controlled, composed and another cool-as-you-like goal, his second in as many games.

Dylan Duffy 9: Two deadly finishes helped turn the match on its head. Filled in different positions. Man of the Match. No surprise there.

Fraser Bryden 6: One of ten changes to the starting line-up. Got in a couple of threatening positions in the second half only to have the ball whipped away from him at crucial moments.

Substitutes:

Louie Marsh (for Randall, 65) 8: Bright as a button when he came on. Shaved a post, forced a finger-tip save, won the penalty. Played a big part in the comeback.

Josh Koroma (for Bryden 65): 7: The fresh legs of Koroma and the other subs really helped Chesterfield finish the stronger. They were all good calls from Paul Cook.

Kiano Dyer (for McEachran 79) N/A, Liam Mandeville (for Markanday 79) N/A, Jack Simpson (for Duffy 87) N/A. Not used: Gordon, Cook.
