Martin has a few players to choose from for the number 10 role. I think that his selection will be made depending on what type of footballing side we are facing, whether they be a ball playing side or a direct playing one that are very physical for example.

@Chris I did a little research & Notts are 6 points in front of where they were last season at the same stage. Notts scored 14 points from their last 11 matches, so Notts are in a better position points wise & form wise, so there is hope we can improve on last season's points total.

Eleven games left. 5 home, 6 away. 3 consecutive sway games against Oldham, Harrogate & Salford will be massive. None of the eleven games left will be easy. Every one, a cup final. 82 points might be enough. 6 wins from 11 matches. Win our home games & one away. 14-03-26. Notts v Chesterfield 17-03-26. Accrington v Notts 21-03-26. Notts v Cheltenham 24-03-26. Oldham v Notts 28-03-26. Harrogate v Notts 03-04-26. Salford v Notts 06-04-26. Notts v Newport 11-04-26. Cambridge v Notts 18-04-26. Notts v Barnet 25-04-26. Colchester v Notts 02-05-26. Notts v Bristol R

During Martin's interview after the Walsall match he reported that Scott Robertson picked up an injury in training & that was the reason for his absence. It could be a knee injury. He's having tests and scans to ascertain the extent of the injury. Will Hinchy be recalled again from his new loan spell to give cover? We'll have to see. No news on when Jatta is likely to return. Martin didn't want to discuss it. Palmer failed a fitness test before the Walsall match.

I have to agree with @Piethagoram & choose Norburn for his two moments of quality that went a long way in getting Notts the win. Those two moments of quality could have easily been witnessed in a PL match.

@Chris I included the subs in the players list today because I believed they were game changers today. Just an observation, but sometimes I get the impression that some players aren't comfortable against sides that play a certain way. When Grant & Hall had been struggling & when they were replaced, Norburn seemed to improve. & the team played more cohesively, with a small change in shape. It seemed to me that Norburn showed a lot of vision with that cross field pass to Kouhyar. He has a bigger string to his bow than some imagine.

What a sublime cross field pass from Norburn to Kouhyar, & then Kouhyar's fantastic cross that found Jodi to head the winner. A great move that demonstrates the Notts County way of playing for all to see.

What a goal this was from Ollie Norburn, & it wasn't just the goal, he hardly celebrated & wanted the Notts players to get back to business to win the game. That's the sign of a leader

What a fantastic win for Notts. The win was just a typical Martin Paterson win away. Notts struggled for 70 minutes but the substitutions made all the difference. So who's your Man of the Match for Notts? Here are the players I have chosen for you to choose your favourite. Belshaw, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Norburn, Iorpenda, Jones, Grant, Hall, Dennis, McDonald, Bennetts, Kouhyar, Tangen.

Just look at this table. Notts in fourth place but importantly 8 points ahead of the team in eighth place.

Massive massive win. Whether we deserved it is another matter on the play, but the team stuck at it & some of Martin's subs changed the game today. Other matches have gone in our favour too, and we find ourselves in 4th place tonight.

GOOOOOAAAAAL JONES.Oh my goodness. What a smash and grab raid that was.Final score.Walsall 1 Notts 2

GOOOOOAAAAAL NORBURN79 - GOAL! Jones' corner is cleared out to Norburn, who chests the ball down and rockets it into the top corner from 20 yards!

Update Kouhyar replaces Tsaroulla.

Update Substitutions for Notts.

Back to it. No changes.

(45+1) Goal to Walsall. Walsall 1 Notts 0. We don't look like a promotion side on the first half showing. Behind at break.

Match is underway

In the two early kick offs Grimsby drew 1-1 with Bromley & Salford beat Barnet 2-0. These two results makes it imperative that Notts get a win today. Robertson & Palmer not being on the bench is a concern.
