Pearce relishing County showdown

County have hogged the League Two headlines all season as a result of their big spending, but the Cherries, who are still under a transfer embargo, have managed to outdo the Magpies and sit at the top of the table.But Pearce still expects Hans Backe's men to mount a strong promotion challenge and is keen to get a first-hand look at them."Notts County are going to be there or there abouts," he said. "They've obviously spent a lot of money and been on TV a lot, but they have some really good players."This will be the first time we have played them and it will be good to have a look at them. I expect they'll be in the mix at the end of the season."
