Today's Matches: A look ahead

Notts' first team squad are now in Devon, and play the first of two friendlies while down there today, against non-league outfit Bideford AFC.

Mills will be expecting another win today

Bideford are quite a few steps down the non league ladder, though they did win the Screwfix Premier League last season, whatever that is.

It may well be an under-strength County that play today, with Millsy's men facing Swindon at the same ground on Monday. On-trial Tamworth defender Lee Ayres, though, is expected to play.

Kelvin Wilson, buoyed by the signing of his first professional deal earlier today, may also feature. Young striker Shaun Harrad may also hope that the tour of Devon will see him break his first-team goal-scoring duck.

Elsewhere, Notts' youth team take on Ilkeston Town today at the New Manor Ground. Like the Bideford clash, this kick's off at 3pm.

The youngsters will be looking to carry on their good form, after they beat Sutton Utd (first team) on Tuesday thanks to a goal from the prolific Kris Nurse.

The youth side, under the new management of Steve Spooner, will feature also feature a number of trialists as they face the tough challenge of facing Ilkeston's first team- which contains a number of ex pro's.

You can hear commentary of this game, which will also feature updates from Bideford, over on Magpie World.

NCM will bring you reports from both games later on today.
