Ryan Jarvis, Danny Crow and Jason Lee all start against Keith Hill's Rochdale as the Magpies cheif steps up his pursuit of goals.

Neil MacKenzie makes a long awaited return to the midfield, while Gary Silk is

Notts: Russell Hoult, Lee Canoville, Mike Edwards (capt), Michael Johnson, Stephen Hunt, Neil MacKenzie, Richard Butcher, Wayne Corden, Ryan Jarvis, Danny Crow, Jason Lee.

Rochdale meanwhile, restore Saturday hat-trick hero Rene Howe to their starting eleven, replacing the injured Lee Thorpe up top.

That is their only change although danger man Chris Dagnall returns to their bench after illness.
