With Notts County captain Michael O'Connor still suspended, Kevin Nolan could make his first start for the club as a player by lining up in midfield against Hartlepool United.

Would you like to see him don the shirt? Or should he stick to leading things from the touchline?

Curtis Thompson does well enough, although he's not a like for like replacement and there concerns we tweaking the tactics to suite his style of play.

So, Alan Smith or Kevin Nolan? Mmmm..... Let's think about this one for a minute.

I doubt he will, there have been chances for him to play before now and he hasn't.

Want the boss to boss personally , doing a great job so far , so stick to Gaffa , I'm sure if he did put the shirt on he wouldn't lack anything a combative midfielder needs , but just concerned about if anything at all , game fitness , i would like to see him in notts team at some point , but for now just be the Gaffa .
