McEwan's team have won only one of their last seven league games

Mansfield Town manager Billy McEwan says his players cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves after a run of one win in seven games.

The Stags were beaten 1-0 at Forest Green Rovers at the weekend and are a just a point clear of the Blue Square Premier relegation zone.

McEwan told BBC Radio Nottingham: "I feel sorry for the fans but we can't feel sorry for ourselves.

"We have to roll our sleeves up and work even harder to turn it round."

McEwan added: "I have every belief we can turn it round, but it's a test for the players and their character."
