Both sides are expected to give some fringe players a chance in tonight's clash, although Notts manager Billy Dearden & assistant Steve Parkin have insisted to the players they would like this game taken seriously, as a win would be handy.

Paul Bolland- Expected to start tonight
Squad member Michael Brough, who is one of the fringe players expected to start tonight, told the Evening Post:

"The message we have been given is that this is very much an important game for us. We are not doing very well so far and a win of any kind would be a boost.

"We need to get into the winning habit again."

The attendance is also expected to be tiny, but the club remain hopeful as they have cut ticket prices to:

Adults: £8
Senior Citizens: £5
Juniors: £2

The starting line-up for tonight is anyone's guess although it is hoped that Billy might forget his over 21's only policy for just one night and let a couple of youngsters play.

Only Clive Platt and Paul Riley are unavailable for Notts who should also include Paul Bolland in the starting line-up, Bolland and Brough in the same midfield anyone?

Notts (Probable): Garden, Jenkins, Fenton, Livesey, Nicholson, Bolland, Brough, McFaul, Baraclough, Stallard, Hackworth

Subs (From) : Mildenhall, Barras, Bostock, Caskey, Francis, Baldry, Heffernan, Richardson.
