Magpies turn their focus to League after two cup exits

TOUGH AWAY TEST AGAINST CHELTENHAM ON MONDAY

- By SAM ALLEN

NOTTS County's full focus returns to the League Two campaign now as they prepare to face a resurgent Cheltenham Town on Monday night (8pm).

The Magpies were disappointed to exit both the FA Cup and Vertu Trophy with defeats to Brackley Town and Manchester United Under-21s in the last week but their League form in recent weeks has been very strong.

Four wins and a draw in their last six League outings have seen Notts climb to fifth in the table, only two points behind current leaders, Walsall, with a chance to make it five consecutive League matches without defeat on Monday.

They travel to face a Cheltenham side who are four unbeaten in the League themselves, with three wins in that time under returning manager Steve Cotterill, who has inspired a turnaround since replacing Michael Flynn following a winless start.
