Notts County are closing in on a deal to sign centre-back Mark Ellis from Tranmere Rovers. They are currently down to two centre-backs as Ben Turner is currently out injured with a calf injury.

Ellis has bags of experience (he's 32), but did his ACL in 2019, I think. Came back last year, but it doesn't look like he's been playing much. Let's hope he's able to get match fit immediately and can alternate with Rawlinson and Lacey when needed. Being able to play Ardleyball (i.e., messing around with the ball at the back) will also help.
I got no problems with the style...
as long as it fits the personnel and they're able to execute it. If they can't (and they can't), it's a disaster waiting to happen and a recipe for playing most of the game in your own half, even at home against poor sides
