Notts County held neighbours Nottingham Forest to a 2-2 draw in front of a lively crowd at Meadow Lane on Tuesday evening that offered some positives to the newly promoted Premier League outfit.
Saturday’s game is set to be the return to the starting line-up for Henrich Ravas, the Derby County loanee, since the fifth of December, facing a play-off rival, it is a massive chance to earn the number 1 shirt with Ben Killip injured.
Being beaten 5-0 is never a happy experience, but Aveley’s players will have learned a lot from their expense at Meadow Lane as they bowed out of the FA Trophy.
