Gary Mills, once more, will throw together another improvised line-up for tomorrow’s clash with Southend United as injuries, and not forgetting generally shoddy performances, continue to bog the progression of the Magpies under Mills.
This week, fresh injury worries will make for difficult-listening when the team sheets are announced come Saturday afternoon with Gavin Gordon – injured during last weekend’s plucky 0-0 draw with Northampton – the next Notts victim. The, at times, little more than hapless front-man will be sitting out of tomorrow’s contest with ankle troubles.

Chris Palmer and Stefan Oakes, who played his first piece of football of the season in the reserves on Wednesday, will both fail to feature tomorrow, despite both being on the return to training recently.
On the other hand, Kelvin Wilson [calf] and Ian Richardson [hip] will both return to the fray after recovering from their respective niggles.
Mills, however, does have options in attack with Matty Williams now fully recovered from his concussion injury.
The Notts manager may also hand on-loan West Ham striker Youssef Sofiane and Marvin Robinson, who he has said has impressed him a great deal, their home debuts.
NOTTS (probable): Henderson, Wilson, Edwards, Richardson, Ullathorne, Pipe, Bolland, Pead, Scully, Sofiane, Robinson.
Subs (from): Deeney, Whitlow, Gill, Williams, Hurst, Kuduzovic.
