Notts County face fourth placed Barrow at Meadow Lane tomorrow with the Magpies looking to go level on points with The Bluebirds in the promotion push towards the football league.

Last time out The Magpies came through a tough FA Cup tie at Ebbsfleet to win in dramatic last minute fashion and in the league they came back from 2-0 down at home to Hartlepool to salvage a draw in what has shown Neal Ardley’s sides never say die fighting spirit.

Barrow have won their last two league matches against Sutton last week and at Dagenham & Redbridge the week before and County manager Ardley is aware of the Cumbrians qualities stating “Barrow are a really good team and a very open, expansive side, “They can go in behind, have great width and will control the game if we allow them to have the middle of the pitch.”

“We will respect them because they’ll give us a tough match but, rather than worrying about them, we’ll look to cause problems in the way we go forwards.”

Ardley stated “They’ll feel the way they play will cause us no end of problems and we believe the same – we’ll go about things in our usual style to try and win the match
“It’s a game that could be end-to-end, which I won’t like too much because I prefer when we have more control, but no one knows who’s going to get it.”

The match likely to come too early to feature new signing Alex Lacey who’s who isn’t yet match fit but will certainly include the Magpies in form strike duo of Wes Thomas and Kyle Wootton.

Of the away sides players to watch Barrow have their own in form striker Scott Quigley who has 12 National League goals so far this season whilst John Rooney is the younger brother of ex-England international striker Wayne.

Tickets are still available with adult prices £20 and remember children under 7 go free whilst kids under 12 only need to pay £1.
