'Top-of-table clash an exciting prospect, but it's just another game'

GOING away to the League Two leaders is not just like every other game in reality, but Notts County and their head coach, Martin Paterson, must treat it as such.

Bromley are leading the way heading into the final third of the season, and they welcome the Magpies this afternoon (3pm), who are hot on their tail in third place, a point behind second-placed Swindon Town with a game in hand.

They will end the weekend just two points behind Bromley if they can get the better of them in this meeting, but Andy Woodman's side have yet to lose a league fixture on their own ground this term, with nine wins and five draws from 14 home matches.

Six wins on the bounce puts Notts in a great place mentally heading into this top-of-the-table clash, and after a busy couple of weeks, Paterson and his group were pleased to have a normal training week to decompress and refresh.
