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

I'm hoping that we pick up from where we left the Halifax game. It's good to see the players who came in, did well - it shows Neal Ardley that we do have depth.

Understanding our options and adjusting during games would help.

It will most likely be a game where we have to be solid at the back, alert and aware. I don't know much about their players but they seem to do well if given space.

im hoping that ardley gives osborne the start ahead of shields.

i think lacey needs to remain in the squad, with rose playing further up the pitch. i can see the game being a 1-1 draw, but i will take it.

I am looking forward to the game, it will have a good vibe I think.

I'm not getting carried away by beating Halifax, but that said I do think we should do well. A draw wouldn't be the worst case scenario but winning at home is something the players should strive for.

The game will only be as difficult as Notts makes it, if we match them and ensure more effort is put in. The rewards will come.

The players haven't put in a good performance at Meadow Lane for some time.

If they put a solid one in, I am confident 3 points will be ours but I can see a small setback with Christmas. I hope for a win, a draw seems more likely but I fear a defeat in truth.

Avoid hoofing it for the sake of it, mix play up and Notts will do just fine.

I don't expect Notts to pass them out of the park, but working more should be a benefit.

I see it being a draw, Kristian Dennis getting the only goal for Notts.

Well that sounded pretty marvellous on the radio. Clinical in the first half, totally shut them out in the second. And it sounds like Osborne and Dennis made the most of their call-ups too, more of the same please!
