STAGS will want to quickly forget about this trip to Northants.
They were overwhelmed by a team that set out to make sure the visitors were put firmly in their place.
During the 80 minutes Stags could barely muster an attack and the Towcestrians ran at will through some less-than-effective tackling.
Alistair Dunsdon's efforts at full-back were the only bright spot for Stags as they saw their promotion prospects take a major hit.
