Stanley are back at the Wham Stadium tomorrow as they welcome Notts County.

The Reds will be out to beat the Magpies and keep pace with the top three in League Two

The Opposition

Notts were tipped by many to be among the promotion contenders come the end of the season when the campaign began.

After relegation from SkyBet League One last season, manager Ricardo Moniz wasted no time in overhauling his squad, bringing in a large number of new signings as he attempted to take his side back up at the first attempt.

But his tenure was shortlived, with the Dutchman leaving the club late last year and replacement Jamie Fullarton has the task of getting County up the League Two table.

Manager

220216 jamie fullartonJamie Fullarton was appointed as first team manager in January this year, replacing Ricardo Moniz who was sacked at the end of December after just nine months in charge.

Following a successful playing career, Fullarton has had coaching roles at Bristol Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest before taking over the management position at Notts County.

In between his playing and coaching careers, Jamie set up an academy in Spain which has already seen eleven players graduate to achieve professional contracts in both England and Spain.

One to Watch

Striker Izale McLeod’s four goals in December earned him a PFA Fans’ Player of the Month nomination.

The former Charlton, Barnet and Portsmouth frontman, among others, arrived at County in August and was presented to the crowd before Stanley’s 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane.

McLeod scored 21 goals for Crawley last season and has got nine goals so far in this campaign.
