Gary Roberts on facing Wealdstone:
“They’re a really well-coached team who like to play through the thirds. They play out from the back and they are one of the better teams in the division.
“It was a really great result for them at the weekend. I watched them against York and they were really impressive. For a team who’re part-time, they’re doing really well.
“They’ll come here with no fear at all because there’s no expectation on them, which is a danger to us.
“We’re on our home ground again and if we replicate the Notts County performance in our last home game then hopefully we’ll be okay.”
Liam’s predicted line-up
4-2-3-1 Fitzsimons; Sheckleford, Palmer, Grimes, Clements; Jones, Banks; Mandeville, Akinola, Dobra; McCallum.
Subs: Williams, King, Oldaker, Colclough, Quigley.
