  Mansfield Town boss Adam Murray insists discipline will hold the key to his side's play-off prospects after they earned an important 2-1 away win at Carlisle United. Goals from Colin Daniel and Reggie Lambe saw the Stags end a run of seven league games without a win, moving them to within six points of a play-off spot with five games remaining. And with individual error, rather than overall performances, being his side's downfall over the past few months, Murray believes a more controlled...
