Robbie

So what did we get out of this match? Well we know that McDonald is a class act & is going to feature in the Notts starting eleven quite a lot. Ness looked good in the first half, but he has to build up his fitness.Tsaroulla impressed too on the right. The youngsters tried their best but lacked composure which is understandable. The standout youngsters were Ryley Reynolds & Madou Cisse for me, but all of them should be congratulated for their effort tonight. I was disappointed with Martin and Brown. I expected much more from them. I think that Stuart will have learned a few things tonight. On the defence side he has plenty of cover, but in attack there is concern especially Scott not playing tonight. Whether he's picked up an injury well have to find out But at the moment I think the Club needs to bring in another free agent for up front if there is someone available that can fit into our style of play.

The match is underway

A former French big time player's son is on the bench for Notts tonight.

These are the Notts youngsters in tonight's squad. Kudos to Stuart Maynard for selecting them all tonight.

The Notts team for tonight's game. It's a young squad for this match, but Cedwyn Scott is not in the team tonight. Hope he's not injured again.

Tuesday Evening Weather

This is such an important match for the squad players, those coming back from injury, & our leading Academy players who will be hoping to get some minutes on the pitch tonight. Tonight it will be the first time that we will have seen Lucas Ness in the black & white. It will be interesting to see if Stuart puts him alongside Rod McDonald who played so well against Burton. I'm sure that Robbie Cundy will feature too at the back, making a new defensive unit on show for Notts. Stuart has said that McDonald & Ness's way back to first team action will be carefully controlled to give them time to get back to full fitness. Scott, Martin & Brown should feature tonight too. Hopefully Cedwyn can get on the score sheet tonight which would be a lift for him & the club. Stuart said in his press conference that he will give Academy players more opportunity tonight, so if fit expect Cisse, Edwards, Sanderson, Muir & Adiefeh to feature. CMON U PIES
