County not Short on options

06 August 2010 10:30
Manager Craig Short faces plenty of selection posers as Notts County prepare to begin life in League One at home to Huddersfield. The former Magpies defender, who replaced Steve Cotterill at the Meadow Lane helm at the start of June, must choose between Rob Burch and Stuart Nelson in goal following the summer departure of Kasper Schmeichel. County`s third keeper, David Grof, who signed a one-year deal last week, has joined Tamworth on a month`s loan. Short also has options at centre-back with new signings Krystian Pearce and Liam Chilvers providing competition for Mike Edwards and Graeme Lee. Ben Burgess and last season`s top scorer Lee Hughes are likely to start in attack, although there is strong competition from Karl Hawley and the recently-signed Kevin Smith.
