I think it will be a few months before Cedwyn Scott returns. Luke Williams and Notts don’t want to put a time frame on it until he’s closer to recovery. I don’t see many updates happening after this; look at the Will Randall injury. It wasn’t supposed to be long until he was fit enough for action, and that was said in the pre-season.

With Cedwyn Scott out, we may finally see what Junior Morias has to offer. I don’t expect many changes to the starting 11. Luke Williams should be encouraged by last Saturday’s performance and, where possible, avoid making changes. Tactically, Notts should be in a strong position because Accrington Stanley likes to have the ball themselves. Hopefully, Notts will enjoy the majority of it.

Connell Rawlinson - talks the talk, walks the walk. More power to him.

A draw would be a good result after the two recent defeats but getting back to winning ways would be a good boost for the Notts camp.

I would want Notts avoiding thinking this would be an easy 3 pointer because most of the sides would have felt the same about playing us until recently. I think the game has a draw all over it.

The win and performance is more solid than the last two draws, I take nothing away from them but its a solid foundation to build progress from.

Notts have to be sensible and confident going into the game, it's another one of those games that the club should be thinking about how to get three points from. A draw wouldn't seem good enough for me but it's all about progress at this stage.

Stead comes across as a very likeable guy, he's done well this season and he's quickly becoming a club legend. I don't understand why some portions of the fan base get onto his back.

Notts are a shambles this season, they have to go into half time either having pulled one back or preventing a third from going in. Re-grouping may see a spark. I feel the games lost at this stage.

A good performance could lift the players confidence, as would a clean sheet. They will be playing to keep within Kewell's plans tonight.

The result ruined my weekend but it could be worse, just think if we had not secured our safety before.

Audel is not a player I rate but under Cooper he has come into his own, performances by him are much better and consistent. Perhaps confidence is all him and the squad need to succeed?

Gutted to be reading that we lost the lead, story of our lives!!

If we do win all will be forgotten!!

The support shown by fans deserved a far better response in terms of the players performance. It was woeful, yet I won't say it was all down to nerves or the occasion but we simply got out classed. Bad decision to think we could fool Mansfield.

The FA and League Cup are useful for pay days, the JPT offers nothing.

They beat Brentford? That must have been their cup day. This will probably end up a draw in my opinion.

Two strikers at home, play people who are fit and ready to get stuck in. I felt Moniz just stuck to playing the same old against Oxford and that does not always work. Is he scared to make changes? Give more deserving players a chance?

When will the officials actually improve? I hope these are good.

Nice to see you cover the league news, its interesting.

Hopefully we will keep Craig Westcarr quiet tonight. You Pies!

Well done Liam, keep it up!

I will take your score prediction Joe, I hope we can get 3 opening wins because the squad must be on a massive high. COYP

@notts-joe I may have a piece for you, can I send it without it being linked or whatever its called to my account?

Big signing, we are really preparing to exit this basement at the first attempt. This is much like unlike Notts, we have always relied on the players who got us relegated to move up, which is why we have struggled. Brilliant to see Stead join the ranks here!
