Loan-signing, Wayne Henderson looks set to waltz straight into the starting

Mildenhall set to be replaced!
line-up ahead of Steve Mildenhall after he dropped a clanger in the opening day 1-1 draw against Chester City last Saturday. 20-year old 'keeper, Henderson, signed from Villa yesterday on a three-month loan yesterday, is to provide cover for fellow countryman, Saul Deeney who is still recovering from a sore shoulder.

Meanwhile, in a defence that looked rock-solid throughout Saturday's promising draw, captain, Mike Whitlow - who picked up a slight knee-ligament strain - is to be sidelined through injury. Luckily, however, there are plenty of players available to stand-in, and NCM fully expect Mike Edwards - who played in the heart of midfield on Saturday - to fill in for the injured veteran.

The game has also come too soon Chrissy Palmer (ankle), Stefan Oakes (groin), as they both await a more accurate analysis of their injuries which could see them injured for up to two-months a-piece. Tony Scully may also be welcomed back into action tonight, allowing the Magpies to revert to a 4-4-2 formation.

In the Kiddy camp, former Stag, Iyseden Christie is still recovering from a broken foot and so will miss tonight's contest.

Notts (probable): Henderson, Pipe, Ullathorne, Edwards, Baudet, Richardson, Bolland, Gill, Scully, Gordon, Hurst, Wilson, Mildenhall, McIntyre, Harrad, Williams.
