Vital Quotes:

Notts haven’t managed a win since the victory against rivals Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium. Since then Notts have only managed two goals. Top scorer Mike Edwards and injury prone striker Steve Scoffham striking in recent weeks. Notts will be looking for this vital result to put to rest the thoughts of a nervy last month of the season. The corresponding game at Moss Rose finished 0-0 and the Magpie supporters will be hoping for more firepower than recent games. You have to go back to Mid January to find the last home win against Shrewsbury Town.
