Key Men

With 11 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 11 goals so far he is a midfield player with an eye for goal. Barnet will have to be wary of Butcher’s runs into the area because he as the ability to score goal around the edge of the area.

Lincoln have striker Jamie Forrester who has been in good form lately, contributing 8 goals in total this season. The Notts defence will have to keep an eye on the Lincoln striker around the area because he also looks shooting at goal with 53 shots on or off target this season in the league.

 

Prediction

We at www.youpies.co.uk think this will be a close game. Notts need to start winning a few games but with the current form not good we think the score will be
