Shayne Bradley scored the only goal as the Stags Reserves beat Loughborough Students 1-0 in a friendly. German defender Mathias Sellman played in his first trial game for the club.

Sellman on form for reserves
Teamtalk
Former German Under-21 star Matthias Sellman gave an impressive 70 minutes
for Stags reserves in their 1-0 win over Loughborough University.
But the 28-year-old was suffering from a stomach bug and it is undecided if
he will be extending his trial period for longer.
"You could tell he had played at a good standard and can play a bit, but he
wasn't feeling at his best and that didn't help him," said Stuart Watkiss.
"I don't know what his plans are now and whether he intends to stay longer
with us. But I would need to see him more than once to form an opinion and
he may just be one we will have to monitor."
Striker Shayne Bradley, who has spent much of this season sidelined with
injury, scored the winning goal in the first half before limping out once
again - this time with a hip injury.
He is unlikely to be in contention for a first team place this weekend.

SPOTLIGHT ON SELLMANN
Evening Post, 04 April 2002
As foreign players continue to shine in the English game, it seems
Mansfield Town realise there could be some untapped European talent who
could do a job for them, as IAN WILKERSON discovered yesterday. . .
There are times when you enter a football ground and are deafened by the
din of expectation, find yourself covered in ticker tape and discover the
queue for the burger bar and/or the toilets is just too long to bother
with.
The excitement is too much to cope with. After a week watching the clock
tick at work, at last you are here.
It's the big match and you're part of the gathering. This is your home from
home. You belong and all you need is that goal or three points to provide
the vital buzz to get you through the next seven days.
This is, however, not one of those occasions which generate such emotions.
The main event is a friendly between Mansfield Town Reserves, of which only
four have first-team experience, and Loughborough Students.
The crowd is made up of the management teams, office staff, the odd
first-team player and a collection of youngsters spending their Easter
Holidays with the Football in the Community team, while both linesmen are
Stags trainees.
Cauldron of intimidation, it ain't.
But the man wearing the number six shirt is the reason why we are all here
because, had it not been for him, we would all be carrying on with our
daily business.
Instead everyone has assembled to have a look at 'the German' in the
anticipation that Stags may have speculated in an untapped market and come
up trumps.
Matthias Sellmann is 28 and has played more than 400 games in the German
Second Division, the last one of which was on Monday.
After spending the week training with Stags, he will be returning in time
for Kleve's next game on Sunday, although their promotion bid has gone off
the rails.
It's a pretty gruelling schedule but you wouldn't have known he had faced a
week of travelling and had only met his team-mates about an hour before
kick-off.
When manager Stuart Watkiss announced he was having a look at Sellmann and
that he was a big lad, he wasn't joking.
He towered above those he opposed but while his frame suggested brawn and
power, there was the subtle touch here and there that demonstrated why he
was capped 23 times by Germany Under-21s.
There is little to ruffle him as every pass appears to reach its target.
He looks comfortable, suggesting he is of sufficient ability to do a job
for Stags at whatever level they find themselves playing at next season and
no-one is going to beat him in the air.
After watching his side concede nine goals in two games, any such
characteristics meet with Watkiss's approval at the moment.
But, as we chat about all sorts of footballing issues, he's nodding and
raising his eyebrows in the right places and seems to think he has not
wasted his time.
While in the last few days, his postbag may have contained one or two
pieces of advice as his team's fortunes appear to go down the swanny, much
of his correspondence are requests for trials.
One or two make it for a reserve-team run out but Watkiss was keen when he
received a call from former Stags striker Neville Chamberlain, who has been
acting as a go-between.
Gary Blissett, the former Brentford and Wimbledon striker, who is now
coaching the youth team at German side Elversberg, recommended Sellmann to
Chamberlain, who was at his old stamping ground to watch him in action.
He said: "Mansfield are the first club we have spoken to because I know
Stuart and we will see what happens."
Sellmann played 70 minutes before being substituted by Stags assistant-boss
Neil Richardson but enjoyed the experience.
Although he lists Borussia Dortmund among his former clubs, he has been
looking forward to trying his luck in England since one episode many
natives would want to forget.
He said: "I thought it went well and I was very impressed with how good
some of the young players were.
"I have wanted to play in England since I watched the European
Championships in 1996.
"I think the English have got a great attitude to their football and it is
much better than in Germany and I would like to play here."
Whether the Stags faithful will get to see Sellmann in an amber shirt will
depend on how he does during the remainder of his week before he flies back
to Germany.
Then, maybe, he will be back in the summer, trying his luck to earn a
contract with Mansfield or another lower division outfit.
But talking to him, it seems he is another foreign player desperate to have
a chance to play in the country that invented the game.
He recognises there is a great atmosphere and he wants to be a part of it.
And if he makes it, there are bound to be a few more people watching than
the select few who took in the match yesterday.
