Notts County vs Boreham Wood - Vadaine Oliver starts ban as Notts County host Boreham Wood

Posted Monday, November 14, 2016 by PA

Notts County are missing Vadaine Oliver for their FA Cup first-round replay with Boreham Wood.

Oliver was sent off just 25 minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 4-0 defeat at Blackpool on Saturday and starts a three-game ban.

It leaves the Magpies short up front with nine-goal top scorer Jon Stead out with an ankle injury and not expected back until Christmas.

Michael O'Connor, Jonathan Forte and Adam Collin all returned for County's heavy loss at Blackpool and boss John Sheridan is likely to make changes again after accusing his team of failing to perform on Saturday.

Boreham Wood will be without midfielder Conor Clifford as they look to spring a surprise.

The former Chelsea youngster is suspended having picked up a fifth booking of the season in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Bromley, a game in which he also saw a second-half penalty saved.

Summer signing Kenny Davis is likely to be drafted in for Clifford having come off the bench at the weekend.

That means boss Luke Garrard could name the same starting XI which led 2-0 in the initial tie at Meadow Park.
