Mansfield Town manager David Holdsworth says he has not finished bringing new players in to Field Mill.

Holdsworth has already signed six new players since replacing Billy McEwan as Stags boss.

He told BBC Radio Nottingham: "If you lose one player at the moment it can have a harsh effect so I definitely want some more flexible players.

"We can't keep leaking goals so we've got to utilise players in the right areas. I a team who keep clean sheets."

Holdsworth also agreed that the scheduled game against Altrincham on Saturday had to be postponed because of a frozen pitch.

He said: "I don't think there was any doubt once the frost took hold. I was thoroughly looking forward to it but that's football I'm afraid."

The new Stags boss will now have to wait for his first game in charge, which will now be against Crawley on Saturday 17 January.
