Notts County manager Steve Thompson believes his side have been missing the physical presence of summer signing Jason Lee in their last two games.
The 35-year-old has been sidelined by an Achilles problem and is a major doubt for the clash with Rochdale this weekend.
Thompson told the Evening Post: "Unless big Jason plays for us we seem to have a problem holding the ball up and it is always coming back.
"We miss Jason Lee. We miss his presence, but we have got to do it without him. Now we have a free week and will work on our pattern of play.
"When we get the ball to the frontmen, we will look at what we are going to do with it next.
"Defensively we have looked reasonably solid, so the focus will be on our attacking play when we get the ball."
