Match Preview
Magpies duo may return Notts County boss Martin Allen could be boosted by the return of Gavin Mahon and Krystian Pearce for the visit of his former club MK Dons. Mahon has been a big miss for the Magpies, who have lost three and won one of the five matches during the midfielder's absence with a hamstring injury. Pearce has resumed training and been given the all-clear to play after missing the last two games because of a groin problem. The defender's return is particularly good news for Allen who is short of options at the back with the suspended Alan Sheehan and the injured Julian Kelly (calf), Sam Sodje (hamstring), Jude Stirling (knee) and Stephen Hunt (ankle) all out. Recent signings Damion Stewart and Kieron Freeman will make their home debuts should they retain their places in the starting XI. MK Dons are expected to be unchanged for the trip. Boss Karl Robinson is likely to select the same side that started the FA Cup replay defeat to QPR on Tuesday night. The Dons performed admirably against the Premier League club at Loftus Road, narrowly losing 1-0 after dominating for much of the tie. Robinson's only injury absentee will be Gary MacKenzie as the Scottish defender is still nursing the groin problem that kept him out of the trip to west London. With just five substitutes permitted in League One, as opposed to seven in the cup, Robinson faces decisions about who to leave out of the squad. Midfielders George Baldock and Anthony McNamee are the players likely to be omitted.

Match Report
County frustrate Dons Notts County fought back from a goal down to snatch a valuable 1-1 draw against promotion hopefuls MK Dons. The visitors took the lead after 26 minutes through an unlikely source, as Dean Bowditch's floated corner saw centre-half Tom Flanagan given the freedom of Meadow Lane to chest down and acrobatically hook a volley in to the top right corner. The Dons should have doubled their lead straight after half-time but Charlie MacDonald somehow only found Stuart Nelson's arms from six yards out. However, County were much livelier in the second period and had their best chance of the game after 53 minutes when Neal Bishop's superb through-ball fell perfectly for Lee Hughes, but his finish was well saved by David Martin. County boss Martin Allen and Dons assistant John Gorman were sent to the stands as temperatures boiled over before the Magpies deservedly equalised after 80 minutes. Adam Smith was harshly adjudged to have handled in the penalty area and Jeff Hughes calmly dispatched the penalty.
