Playmaker Oakes has once again tweaked the groin that kept him out for two months at the start of the campaign, and his chances of making tomorrow's fixture are rated as no more than 50/50.
Should the former Leicester midfielder be unable to make the encounter, though, Mills does have options. Unfortunately, the one he is most likely to take would be to recall transfer-listed Matt Gill to the starting line-up to partner Paul Bolland.
I'm sure most Notts fans will agree that the Gill/Bolland pairing was one we weren't looking forward to seeing again.
Bosnian midfielder Fahrudin Kuduzovic, David Pipe and Shane McFaul may also be in with a good shout of filling the midfield vacancy should it arise.
Elsewhere, Glynn Hurst and Gavin Gordon will look to continue their blossoming partnership upfront, with Matty Williams and Chris O'Grady waiting in the wings.
Notts (probable): Deeney; Wilson, Baudet, Whitlow, Ullathorne; Scully, Bolland, Oakes, Palmer; Hurst, Gordon.
Subs (from): Mildenhall, Friars, Pipe, Gill, Kuduzovic, McFaul, Williams, O'Grady.
