Same again for County

Notts County have no new problems ahead of the visit of Gillingham.

Magpies manager Shaun Derry made four changes against Crewe in midweek as Mustapha Dumbuya, Garry Thompson, Shaun Harrad and new signing Stephen McLaughlin came in for Alan Smith, Curtis Thompson, Blair Adams and Zeli Ismail. Following the 3-0 win at Gresty Road, Derry could opt to name an unchanged side on Saturday.

On-loan Nottingham Forest winger McLaughlin looks certain to make his home debut, having impressed during his first appearance for the club against the Railwaymen.

Hayden Mullins (leg) is nearing a return but this game looks like coming too soon for the midfielder.

Gillingham could welcome back Stuart Nelson for the trip to Nottingham.

The experienced goalkeeper has spent two months on the sidelines since injuring his thumb on the opening day of the season but is closing on a return.

Peter Taylor made several changes for last week's stoppage-time defeat to Sheffield United, bringing in the likes of Callum Davies, Amine Linganzi and Joss Pritchard, but could shuffle his pack once more ahead of a busy October schedule.

Danny Kedwell (knee) remains Taylor's only notable absentee.
