MANSFIELD Town suffered an FA Cup hangover as they lost 2-0 at home to Kidderminster on their return to league action today.
After a heroic display in the 2-1 third round loss to Liverpool last Sunday, they were punished for a poor first-half showing this afternoon.
Kidderminster scored twice in the middle of the first half through Mickey Demetriou and Lee Vaughan, with Demetriou also hitting the post at the One Call Stadium.
Matt Green twice hit the woodwork for the Stags in the opening 45 minutes and despite pushing on during the second period and Kidderminster's Sean Clancy seeing red for a late lunge on Lee Beevers, Mansfield could not get back into this Blue Square Bet Premier match.
Paul Cox's men travel to Stockport on Tuesday night before visiting Southport next Saturday.
