 Dearden says talk of Boro in the FA Cup is banned (Getty Images) |
Mansfield boss Billy Dearden has told his players to forget about FA Cup glory and to focus on their crucial League Two game against Darlington. The Stags host Middlesbrough in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday week.
But Dearden told BBC Radio Nottingham that Saturday's home game against the Quakers is the only thing on his mind.
"It's difficult because Boro's a big game for everybody. But I've told the lads we've got to forget about Boro. I don't want them mentioned," he said.
"We can't let Middlesbrough play on our minds - we have a very important game against Darlington, we have to get a result."
