Rob Milsom set for second Notts County debut against Forest Green

Posted Friday, August 31, 2018 by PA

New Notts County manager Harry Kewell will be in the stands for the Sky Bet League Two clash with Forest Green.

Mark Crossley and Jon Goodman will be in charge on Saturday, with Kewell to be in the dugout for the first time at Grimsby in the Checkatrade Trophy next Tuesday.

Midfielder Rob Milsom is set for his second debut for the club after following Kewell back to Meadow Lane from Crawley.

Matt Tootle is a doubt after limping off against Lincoln last week on his return from injury, while fellow defender Ben Hall remains sidelined with a groin problem which has prevented him featuring this season.

Left-back Nathan McGinley could be in contention for his Forest Green debut after joining on loan from Middlesbrough this week.

The 21-year-old, whose move will be made permanent in January, has already faced Notts County this season having played against the Magpies in the Carabao Cup in what was his sole first-team appearance for Boro.

Rovers boss Mark Cooper was able to select from a full-strength squad for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup tie at Wycombe but, after lamenting his side’s wastefulness in front of goal, could opt to make changes.

Christian Doidge, George Williams and Isaac Pearce all climbed off the bench at Adams Park, where Rovers twice fought back from a goal down only to go out on penalties, and are pushing for starts.
