Notts County v FC Halifax Town LIVE

Notts County: P27 W18 D8 L1 F69 A25 GD44 Pts62

Halifax: P25 W9 D5 L12 F24 A33 GD-9 Pts32

Two goals from Macaulay Langstaff and one apiece for Cedwyn Scott and Kairo Mitchell helped County to a 4-1 win at The Shay in August.

Only Yeovil have scored fewer National League goals this season than Halifax (24)

Johnson, Senior, Debrah, Stott, Senior, Golden, Keane, Hunter, Gilmour, Cooke, Dierseruvwe Subs: Arthur, Harker, Alli, Slew, White

Four changes - Dieseruvwe for Harker, Stott for Arthur, Hunter for Slew and Adam Senior replaces Capello and makes his Town debut. Osawe drops out altogether. Looks like a return to 3-4-2-1 to me

Slocombe, Cameron, Baldwin, Rawlinson, Nemane, Palmer, O’Brien, Chicksen, Rodrigues, Austin, Langstaff. Subs: Scott, Jones, Bostock, Vincent, Bajrami.

Couple of different variations of how Town could line-up defensively - Adam Senior could be RWB or one of the back three. Similarly, Jack Senior could be LWB or part of the back three, with Tylor Golden able to play on either flank. However they do it, it’s certainly a defensive line-up by Town. Only really Cooke and Dierseruvwe as proper out and out attacking players on the park.

Well something had to change from Wednesday night. Whether they are the right changes remains to be seen. It;s clearly going to be another Solihull - setting up to disrupt, destroy and play on the break. My concern would be whether Mani Dierseruvwe gets enough support from Jamie Cooke. Will it be a flat midfield 3 of Gilmour, Keane and Hunter? If so, how much of a threat are Town really going to carry going forward? Town can’t just defend for 90 minutes. Judging by Scunthorpe’s goal on Wednesday, they can’t really defend at all at the moment
