Out of the past three games this was Swindon best game with Matt Hewlett and Danny Invincibile having chances to score.
It was Mansfield who took the lead on 15 minutes after a goal mouth scamble which saw about 10 touches before Mansfield could take the lead.
On 39 minutes Swindon's Matt Heywood gave away a penalty, which Corden took and sent Griemink the wrong save to give Mansfield who were bottom of the table a 2-0 lead.
Alan Reeves pulled a goal back for Swindon just before half time with a close range shot to put Swindon back in the game.
Mansfield have one of the best goal scoring records, and one of the worse defences in the league so with 3 goals by half time it looked like it might be a high scoring game with more goals to come.
Swindon should have gone level after a goal mouth scramble but unlike Mansfield earlier in the game Swindon couldn't force the ball across the line.
Mansfield were able to hold out for the rest of the game, but unlike Swindon's last two games against Northampton and Cheltenham this game they did look like the might get a goal.
Swindon now face Bristol City in a local derby at the County Ground on Wednesday whoch using Swindon's logic of losing to the teams at the bottom and beating the teams near the top of the table we should win.
