Ex Imps Out Of County Clash

Ex Imps Jamie Forrester and Richard Butcher will BOTH be missing from the Notts County line up for this Saturdays Christmas clash with The Magpies.

Forrester picked up a red card and a three match ban for a late challenge in the dying minutes of County's defeat against Chester last weekend, and in the process picked up a three match ban due to start this weekend.

Forrester is County's second leading scorer this season and his presence will be missed.

Butcher is currently injured and out of action until Christmas, and as County's leading scorer is the other threat that Lincoln would have to deal with. However the skilful midfielder will not be able to showcase his obvious talents against City.

Also missing for County will be recent loan striker Jonathon Forte, brought in from Scunthorpe. The Iron have recalled the player following an injury crisis at Glanford Park, and once again County's loss is City's gain!
