Eastbourne Borough welcomed back Marc Pullan and Paul Armstrong into the starting XI for the visit of Mansfield today.

Matt Smart made way in midfield for Armstrong's return while Gary Elphick was the surprise change at the back after a 13-game run in the side as Pullan came in.

Borough were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss at Gateshead.

David Holdsworth made two changes to the Mansfield side from their 2-1 win over Altrincham.

The injured Louis Briscoe was replaced by Jake Speight in attack while illness forced a change at the back with Luke Jones filling in for Luke Graham at centre half.

There was place in the squad for Leeds' Ollie Hotchkiss, who has come in on loan for a second spell.

Eastbourne Borough: Michael Jordan; Darren Baker, Neil Jenkins, Ben Austin, Marc Pullan, Dan Smith, Paul Armstrong, Andy Atkin, Matt Crabb; Jamie Taylor, Dan Brown. Subs: Matt Smart, Liam Enver-Marum, Danny Knowles, Simon Johnson, Gary Elphick.

Mansfield: Alan Marriott, Paul Heckingbottom, Gary Mills, Luke Jones, Scott Garner, Matt Somner, Rob Duffy, Steve Istead, Gary Silk, Jake Speight, Kyle Perry. Subs: Eley, Armstrong, Sturrock, Williams, Dobson.
