Team News vs. Blackpool

Last updated : 26 September 2003 By Richard Brown

Notts County

Paul Bolland - may feature
Billy Dearden is expecting late fitness tests on three players before he names his squad that will travel to
Blackpool tomorrow.

Dearden lives in hope that he will name an unchanged side from that that beat Ipswich Town, something that the Notts manager has seldom managed this season. However, Steve Jenkins [back] looks doubtful.

In an interview with
Nottingham’s Evening Post Dearden said ‘It would be nice to have the choice,’

 

We wanted to name the same team against Rushden after we beat Chesterfield and were not able to. But, we will have a look at Steve today and make a decision in the morning.’

H
opefully the other injured lads, Michael Brough and Paul Bolland, will also be available.’


Bolland missed County’s victory over Ipswich during mid-week due to a knee problem.

 


Paul Heffernan could also be restored to league action after completing his three-match suspension for a red card he received during County’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of
Peterborough back in August.


Line-up (from): Mildenhall, Jenkins, Nicholson, Fenton, Barras, Baldry, Baraclough, Caskey, Richardson, Platt, Stallard, Garden, Riley, Heffernan, McFaul, Bolland, Brough.

 


Blackpool

Tommy Jaszczun is a major doubt for Blackpool as the defender is struggling an ankle injury that has prevented him from making any first-team appearances this season.

On-loan Sean Doherty will be involved having sat out the midweek Carling Cup win over Birmingham due to suspension.

Striker, John Murphy is pushing for a recall after firing a recent hat-trick for the reserve side, although Mike Flynn (calf) is expected to be out for another four weeks.
