12 days to go!

Last updated : 30 July 2007 By Gary Moss
1. Pilkington: a mid-table keeper at best

2. Edwards: His loss will hit the side hard. A defensive gem that could miss most of the season

3. Leaderless side- No 'Mr Notts'. A lack of long serving club player in the teams spine

4. Many new faces means it could be another seaon of transition

5. Thompson- still lacks tactical nous
Meadow Lane:  League Two Fortress?


6. Meadow Lane- not much of a fortress

7. New strikers but Jason Lee is still the only proven goalscorer

8. Inconsistent players may stall promotion bid

9.Thompson: not scared to unsettle players

10. New signings still to be questioned. Canoville from relegated Boston. Mayo failed in the past at Lincoln. Mckenzie never really settled. Weston: unproven. Sam: didn't warrant a new deal at Walsall. Will they deliver?

Some points that may go against the Magpies as they bid for promotion.
