No changes to line-up

Dearden, speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post, said that it is unlikely there will be any changes with only Simon Baldry, if he recovers from injury, having any chance of breaking in the starting line-up.

"Simon's chances are not looking brilliant," he said. "We will see how he is today. I can't see there being many changes.

"To be fair, I do not have too many options to think about, had I wanted to.

"It would be easy to string five across the midfield or back, but perhaps it is better to stick with what we have worked on and rely on the lads to prove they are better than they suggested at the weekend.

"Everyone was shocked by the way we performed. They let themselves, the staff and the supporters down - but it was a surprise, when you consider the way we had played in pre-season.

"They have the chance to make amends tonight.

"This is an important game for us, in terms of morale and money," he added.

Do you think not making changes is a good thing or not?
