Meanwhile, Garden has today been told he will not be offered a new contract and though he is currently injured, again will not travel with the squad tomorrow.
Saul Deeney will continue in goal for the Magpies as he looks to gain vital experience to enhance his (slight) chance of gaining the keeper’s jersey next season as Mildenhall’s understudy.
Gary Mills revealed yestereday that young defender Kelvin Wilson will most probably start at right-back after impressing the gaffer in the reserves, allowing David Pipe to play on the right side of midfield.
