port vale seem to be in decent form, undefeated in their last 5, with 3 wins and 2 draws. currently 7th in the league but i dont know much about them as a team since we have spent so long in the national league.

So, they should be bringing a fair amount. I hope they come friendly and lively, because when the Jimmy Sirrel stand is loud it does encourage the KOP. Port Vale are doing well, they'll be tough but I am not worried that they will outplay us. I am just encouraged to see how the game unfolds. I wonder how the team will look, considering we played mid-week and Saturday before that. It's good that Jatta, Cedwyn Scott and Scott Robertson are all back.

I am really looking forward to the game, it should be a good test for both teams.

This will be another important game for Notts to try to win.

The win at Carlisle was a great win which demonstrated the quality of the Notts squad, but also demonstrated their ability to adapt to different styles of play.

Notts need to continue that trait against Port Vale too.

I suspect that Stuart will try to pick his strongest side once again. McGoldrick will figure after he has been rested in midweek.

I expect that Robertson will maintain his place & continue his partnership with Palmer in midfield.

I also think that Stuart will retain Austin & Gordon in the first 11.

So my team would be

Bass, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Gordon, Tsaroulla, Robertson, Palmer, Crowley, Austin & Jatta.

Subs, Slocombe, Cundy  McGoldrick, Grant, Scott & Abbott.

Key areas will be all over the pitch. Notts will need to adapt and change styles if required.

I think it will be a close game but I think that Notts will edge it maybe 2:1.
