Ian Burchnall names Notts County team to face promotion rivals Halifax Town

Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall named an unchanged team as his Magpies side went in search of a fourth successive win against Halifax Town tonight.

Fresh from beating Eastleigh 2-0 at the weekend, a performance Burchnall hailed as the most complete of the season, the Magpies boss kept faith with the same 11 that produced such a classy display.

In what was a 4-2-3-1 formation, on-loan Liverpool prospect Vitezslav Jaros assumed number one duties behind the back four of Jayden Richardson, Richard Brindley, Kyle Cameron and Adam Chicksen.

In midfield, Matty Palmer, who has played every minute of Notts' National League season so far, partnered Ed Francis as the two sitting players in front of the back four.

Ahead of them, Elisha Sam started on the left with Ruben Rodrigues handed the number 10 role while Callum Roberts occupied the right flank.

And leading the frontline on his own was Kyle Wootton who was searching for his 18th goal in all competitions.

The substitutes bench also remained unchanged from the weekend.
