Notts County vs York City preview - Jack Barmby set for Notts County debut

Posted Friday, September 25, 2015 by PA

Jack Barmby will go straight into the Notts County squad for the visit of York.

Barmby, a former Manchester United trainee, joined the Magpies on Thursday on loan from Leicester and the attacking midfielder could make his debut against the Minstermen.

Mike Edwards and Alan Smith are almost certain to retain their places in the team following the 4-1 midweek win over Crawley, with Notts boss Ricardo Moniz likely to keep any changes to a minimum after such a convincing victory.

Rob Milsom (knee) and Kyle De Silva (thigh) are nearing returns from injury and should be back in first-team contention in around two weeks.

York striker Vadaine Oliver will begin his three-match suspension after the club failed in their appeal against his red card in the 2-2 draw against Carlisle last weekend.

Emile Sinclair is in line to replace Oliver but, with the forward yet to start a game this season following a thigh injury, boss Russ Wilcox has raised concerns about his match fitness.

Instead the Minstermen chief may opt to hand a starting place to Josh Carson, who came off the bench to score a second-half equaliser against the Cumbrians.

Jake Hyde remains on the club's long-term injury list while Michael Coulson has resumed training following a groin operation but is at least a fortnight away from a return.
