Notts' are next in action on Saturday 30^th January 2016 away at Luton with a 3:00pm kick off.

The Hatters are two places higher and have 34 points, only one point ahead of Notts, so a must win game if Notts intend to seriously push on for promotion.

Will there be any changes to The Magpies personnel before the transfer window closes? Can Jamie Fullarton come up with another away victory?
