Notts County vs Accrington Stanley preview - Hollis missing for County

Posted Saturday, November 08, 2014 by PA

Notts County will be without Haydn Hollis for Sunday's FA Cup first-round tie with Accrington at Meadow Lane through suspension.

The 22-year-old defender serves a one-match ban after picking up his fifth booking of the season in last weekend's home loss to Walsall.

The Magpies must also leave out winger Stephen McLaughlin, who has extended his loan spell from Nottingham Forest but is not allowed to play in this competition.

Top scorer Garry Thompson could be rested after picking up a slight knee injury in last week's 2-1 home loss to Walsall, while defender Louis Laing missed that game with a dead leg.

Accrington have been a handed a boost with the news that Kal Naismith is back training in east Lancashire.

The ex-Rangers trainee has not played since mid-October after returning to Scotland following a bereavement.

Luke Simpson is expected to continue in goal after Fulham loanee Jesse Joronen, only brought in because Aaron Chapman sustained a foot injury, picked up a serious-looking knee problem.

Experienced full-back Nicky Hunt will serve a one-match ban after picking up five yellow cards while midfielder Anthony Barry misses out again through injury.
