The amount of late goals in this fixture since 2016 is mental.
Only two meetings since Sep 2016 did not have a very late goal - the last one earlier this season and a 0-0 in Dec 2017.

Going way back, Ian McParland famously equalised in the last minute of an FA Cup clash at Meadow Lane in 1985.

God, I really hope Burchnall isn't spotted in the crowd. That will be a time to worry.

When was the last time we went into a full league match without a full-time manager/coach?

Steve Chettle was the last caretaker, between Kewell and Ardley, he had four games in charge......

Alan Smith must have been the last caretaker who wasn't a full time coach, as he was still a player at the time.

Hope the post LW era starts well. Could do with some positivity going in to 3 tough games.

Team:

[Notts78]

Good to see some legs in midfield with Robbo, JoB was purring about him in the week. Comfortable with Rawlo being back as long as his remit is kick and head.

[SmiffyPie]

Suppose that's Brindley on for Rawlinson and Austin on for Bostock/Robertson (whoever tires first?). Quietly confident knowing that we will play to a known plan. YouPiesss!

[Notts78]

Just realised that Robbo has took number 20…. Hope he is as good as the last incumbent of that shirt
