We are expecting a tough game on Saturday.

Notts County seem to have tightened up, and toughened up.

They have got a hard-working unit and the new manager has got them well drilled.

They will play a classic 4-4-2, with a big man and little man up front, and a sitter and a runner in midfield.

They will be a tough prospect and won't make it easy for anyone because they are desperate for points.

There are a lot of teams down there who are starting to grind out clean sheets and grind out results, and Notts County are amongst them.

They will be looking to capitalise on this game and perhaps build on their recent good results and get a win.

It's going to be a tough game for ourselves but I've said to the lads that the next two games are critical for the club's success.

We have a fantastic opportunity to make it three back-to-back wins now and push up towards real tangible prospects of the play-offs.

Then there's a huge game on Tuesday for real tangible progress in the cup and a real opportunity of playing at Wembley.
