Austin is a good fit and deserves it after working so hard at Salford.
Austin to start for me. He would have been our first choice RWB had AN not signed a new contract.
100% Austin for me.
After listening to Notts County talk the other night who had Tobi on as a guest, it was funny to hear him let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, when telling Tom and George, that Nemane had signed and been training with the lads all the time in pre season :D.
I think Nemane has something to offer but it's just a pity that all that pre-season didn't include how to cross a ball so it hits one of our players heads. I'm beginning to think that the low hard ball he tends to fire into the six yard box is LW telling him not to waste the ball on trying to cross it. Nemane needs some "Dink" training.
I'd calculate that having Austin there would give us a slightly better chance of winning the game than TAR.
But thinking of the season, and seeing FGR at home as a winnable game anyway, I'd like to see TAR play. Austin's proven his worth many times over. TAR really needs to create his own luck, take his chances, and be more regularly available in order to kickstart his Notts career. Nemane's out but TAR can't play because of a toe! It's starting to look cursed.
He's always looked really good but he needs to play in games like this if at all possible.
I’m equally happy whoever starts.
I think Austin will get more game time throughout the season, so purely for that reason I’d go TAR.
I also think if TAR is fully fit and Austin gets the nod, TAR then knows he’s 3rd in the pecking order for the only position he can really play for us.
I'd suggest TAR is very happy to be at Notts whether he's third choice or not.
Having watched the interview with Toni last week he fast becoming one of my favourite players but Sam Austin has earned the right to start after a really good performance at Salford, he should be rewarded for that I think.
