Key Men
With 10 goals so far this season, Richard Butcher has emerged as Notts main threat this season. The ex-Peterborough man does not light the game up but he finds those spaces around the area and with 10 goals so far he is a midfield player with an eye for goal. He is a versatile player who can play in most places in midfield so Stockport will have to be wary of Butcher’s runs into the area because he as the ability to score goals around the edge of the area.
Stockport Striker Liam Dickinson will be the danger man on Saturday. The Stockport player has scored 11 goals so far this season in his 18 starts and 6 appearances from the bench. He will always try his luck with 66 shots at goals this season. Notts will have to keep a close eye on him
Prediction
We at www.youpies.co.uk think this will be a tough game for the magpies. Notts do play better away from the Lane and have gone 4 matches unbeaten. Stockport have done well this season at home and have scored 26 goals on their home turf which can only be bettered by one other club in our league.
So we think the score will be
Stockport County 2-1 Notts County
Sorry that’s how I see it
