Joel Fretwell has been appointed Mansfield Town FC manager.
This is my first ever FM game I have purchased and didn't even know that it was possible to create a story like this, so I have gone back through the game and wrote a bit down to upload here to start my story
As the season got underway, the gaffer knew that this side needed strengthening and off he went to look for suitable candidates to lead this club out of the BSP and onto better things.

Mansfield (Nix,Foster) 2 - 2 Crawley
As the season got underway, Mansfield got off the the worst possible start going 2 goals down and heading for certain defeat. But then the fightback began as Hotchkiss played a wonderful ball over the top, for nix to lash it into the top corner.
With just 2 Minutes remaining, Sweeney whipped in the corner for Foster to be stood tall and head it past the stranded keeper in the Crawley net. A welcomed point for the first ever game.
Mansfield 2 (Ferguson,Nix) - 0 Luton
After picking up a well earned point, a search for the first win began and it got off to the best possible start when Ferguson provided a beautiful solo run to hammer home after 5 minutes. However, From then on, constant Luton Pressure was on the horizon with Barnes Homer cracking the woodwork. However, 10 Minutes from time, Nix replacing Ferguson came on and latched onto a through ball from Ragaven to seal all three points
Mansfield 2 (Speight,Lichaj) - 0 Salisbury
Coming off the cracking performance against Luton, Mansfield only added to their confidence. Speight, coming into the line up for the Injrued McGurk showed his raw pace to race onto a pass from Silk and slide it underneath the keeper. Salisbury were never in with a chance with the way Mansfield were playing and just after half time, Lichaj recieved the corner from Sweeney to hammer it in from 12 yards.
Mansfield 2 (Speight, Ball) - 1 Barrow
This was to be there toughest test and showed a real will for fightback from the squad.
After 30 minutes the game was playing very bland with Barrow putting on the pressure, only to see a through ball get dispatched and go into half time, 1-0 down. At Half time, aall three changes were made, Duffy,Shaw and nix off, Speight,Ball(debut) and Ferguson came onto the scene. From here on it was continual Mansfield Pressure with Speight slicing the defence open and placing it into the far corner. With the clock ticking down, something special was to be produced and it came from David Ball. He picked up the ball, 30 yards out and whacked it past the Barrow keeper, to keep the strong start going.
Mansfield 0 - 1 Ebbsfleet
After avoiding the loss for the start of the season, Ebbsfleet proved a stubborn task. After 3 minutes Ebbsfleet were ahead, but it was all they could Muster. Mansfield were very mucht the dominant force but the Ebbsfleet goal could not be broken with Cronin saving three 1 on 1 chances from Hotchkiss.
Mansfield 2 (Ball, Ferguson) - 1 Chester
After recording there first defeat a bounceback was needed. It Occured at the Diva Stadium. Chester took a surprise lead after some poor defending from silk allowed them to break down the right and the cross converted.
However, After Ball and Ferguson arose from the bench, the momentum quickly swung with Ball tapping in from 7 yards. It was all down the sheer determination for the winner, Ferguson, taking on 3 midfielders and hammering in a low shot from the edge of the area to give Mansfield the win they deserved.
Mansfield 1(Sweeney(Pen)) - 0 Kettering
This game was possibly the least entertaining you will ever see and it was decided after just 2 minutes, when Farkingham burst into the area, only to be bought down by a desperate challenge. Sweeney had no problems putting away the spot kick for his first goal since his move.
Mansfield 0 - 0 Kidderminister
Talk about a boring game above, this may be just as bad, Only three opportunities all match, the most notable falling to Challinor, who hit the woodwork from 20 yards
Mansfield 1(Ball) - 0 Stevenage
David ball was the decider by two teams occupying the play off spots. Stevenage were dangerous early on with Romon Rose leading there attack, but it was Ball that stole the show with a superb solo run, leaving the defence for dead and slotting it on the inside of the onrushing keeper.
Mansfield 2 (Speight, Challinor) - 2 Grays
The fans were pretty upset with this performance although they can take encouragement from the fightback produced. Grays, sitting bottom after the first games with only 2 points should have been pushed over, But it was Grays that took a 2-0 Half time lead.
Speight pulled one back with a drive from 16 yards into the bottom corner only for Challinor to steal a point from the impressive Grays with a thunderous strike from the edge of the box.
Mansfield 2( Lichaj, Ball) - 1 Rushden and Diamonds
This was an impressive victory by Mansfield, who were thankful for heroics from their keeper Alan Marriot, denying the impressive Aaron O Connor on more then 5 occasions.
Mansfield took the lead after 10 minutes when Lichaj headed strongly from a ferguson Corner. Rushden then pulled one back with an effort from fully 25 yards, only for the last minute to provide welcome result for the fans when Ball latched onto Fosters pass and slotted under the keeper.
Mansfield 1(Speight) - 0 Oxford
Oxford were simply dominant all game with Constable striking the woodwork three times. But in football, sometimes you have to scrap for your lives to get a result and it came, one long ball from Farkingham was controlled well by speight for him to strike it into the far post. A victory that Mansfield will be very happy with
Mansfield 0 - 0 Hayes and Yeading
Really boring game which could've been decided in the 88th minute when David Ball was one on one with the keeper, only for him to make a world class save and provided Hayes with a much needed Point.
