Notts County vs Scunthorpe United preview - Noble back for Notts County

Posted Friday, March 27, 2015 by PA

Caretaker boss Paul Hart has Liam Noble available for his first game in charge of Notts County against Scunthorpe.

The midfielder has missed the last three games through suspension, a run of fixtures which yielded just one point.

County's 4-1 defeat at MK Dons last time out signalled the end of Shaun Derry's reign as boss with the club only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

Changes are likely as Hart aims to steer the Magpies away from the bottom four, with new loan signings Graham Burke (Aston Villa) and Jordan Williams (Liverpool) set to be thrown straight into the starting line-up.

Scunthorpe's new loan signing Theo Robinson could make his debut for the club after arriving from Doncaster on Thursday.

But the Iron will be without defender Miguel Llera, who sits out a one-game ban following his dismissal for two yellow cards in the midweek defeat at Sheffield United. His absence could mean a recall for Andrew Boyce, while on-loan Chelsea defender Alex Davey is in contention.

On-loan Everton midfielder John Lundstram made his debut in midweek as boss Mark Robins made five changes.

Forward Gary McSheffrey, midfielder Liam O'Neil and winger Hakeeb Adelakun will also be hoping to retain their places as the Iron chase their first league win in nine matches.
