New look Notts County take on Lincoln

Posted Friday, February 01, 2019 by PA

League Two bottom side Notts County could have a different look as they host leaders Lincoln on Saturday.

Neal Ardley this week recruited defender Sam Stubbs, forward Craig Mackail-Smith and utility man Mitch Rose in an attempt to revive their flagging fortunes.

Striker Kristian Dennis has been loaned to Grimsby, winger Nathan Thomas has returned to parent club Sheffield United and goalkeeper Branislav Pindroch has been released.

Winger Enzio Boldewijn will hope for his first start since recovering from a knee injury.

Lincoln have Portuguese midfielder Bruno Andrade available again after suspension.

Recent loan signings Jordan Roberts and Mark O’Hara will hope to make their full debuts.

Striker Roberts and midfielder O’Hara, brought in from Ipswich and Peterborough respectively, both appeared as second-half substitutes in last week’s 3-3 draw at Bury.

The Imps learned this week that left-back Sam Habergham, out since last April with a serious knee injury, will not return this season after a decision to undergo surgery.
