Mansfield Town found themselves on the end of a 3-1 defeat against Championship side Blackburn Rovers last night, but the response was largely positive from Stags' supporters.

Mansfield are surely amongst the promotion favourites this season. They missed out on an automatic spot in League Two last season on the final day, going down 1-0 to MK Dons in a 'winner takes all' encounter at Stadium MK.

That consigned them to fourth and having lost momentum, they struggled to kill off Newport in the semi-finals.

The Exiles picked up a penalty shoot-out win and David Flitcroft paid for the failure with his job. John Dempster has taken over and signed Andy Cook and Nicky Maynard to spearhead the attack, but it was two players used sparingly under Flitcroft that impressed one Twitter user last night, not the new faces.

Otis Khan and Danny Rose were in and out of the side under the former manager, but both looked comfortable against Tony Mowbray's side. Hayden White also returned after his injury-hit campaign which is another positive for the Stags.

Here's the pick of responses to last night's defeat from social media.
