What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Well after recent displays nothing less  than a fully committed energy fuelled front foot approach will be good enough , a proper approach is needed , I'll be very interested in team selection , hopefully different options will be available after illness ect , or will it be give them a chance to respond , I would change it if possible sure KN will , we need a positive response and result against a difficult opponent , COYP

i can see them thrashing us because they play quite well at home.  

Bad timing game wise as they wont give us much space to play with and even when we do play well against them, they have that habit of scoring one more than us. We need three points here.

A good performance especially. I think a 3-1 loss is likely!

 Considering illness & injury who knows what the team might be......

I think some performances have been sadly lacking since early December, teams know to get after us and exploit our slow start to games and the lack of a regular striker will be our undoing again I fear.

Although I think we’ll see a better performance tonight I can’t see us getting anything 

sorry lads it’s 1 - 2 defeat (that’s if we manage to score) 

I'd be happy with a draw. This darned virus seems to have knocked the squad for six, plus the drop in form and confidence and we're up against a tough team.

We really need a result here, I haven't gone - not feeling well (and my legs hurt).

Yet I wished I was there and, regardless I would be trying to do my bit. Kinda nervous to watch my phone as updates come in as I really feel uncomfortable about how the game may potentially go. They'll be on a high, so we need a performance!

-Update-

Switched to following the game via the BBC, no updates came through on my app. I use I should have the PON page's up. Haha
