Notts County currently feel like they can beat anyone in League Two, according to defender Elliott Hewitt.

The Magpies have won two out of two away from Meadow Lane under new manager Jamie Fullarton, beating Crawley Town 1-0 and Luton Town 2-0, and will head to bottom side York City on Saturday.

"We fancy ourselves against anyone at the minute," said Hewitt, who could be switched to right-back against the Minstermen if loanee Gary MacKenzie is preferred in central defence.

"York are struggling, but you know what it's like, any team can beat anyone in this league.

"I think it will be tough. They will try to get at us, so we've got to make a quick start, try to get the first goal and kick on from there.

"[Fullarton] has made us more solid as a team, The two away performances were probably the best ones we've had in a long while, especially against Luton I thought we did really well.

"Everything is a lot more organised. You know your job; he gets his message across clearly to you.

"Under the last gaffer, he was a lot more attacking. We played lovely stuff at times, but were just left a bit wide open at the back.

"We just need to get the right balance, which I think we're starting to get now.

"Obviously being a defender it's good for us because it's clear what he wants us to do, and that's first and foremost defending.

"And I think we've done that really well, in the last two away performances in particular."

He's been great all season but needs to play at RB. I think Mackenzie will start with Haydn in the middleΒ 

I agree with CS above.

Since his surprise inclusion, he's been brilliant but as a CB he leaves us wide open. Poor Hollis had to cover him at home, so I would prefer him to play back at RB. Hopefully his comments ring true but we need to see more, there's no doubt about that.

I hope he's right.
