Notts such a bad draw

Last updated : 23 September 2006 By Chris C
After two routs of lower league opposition in the 5-2 and 4-0 wins over Yeovil and Millwall respectively, Saints will go into this fixture in confident mood, particularly as Saints are currently enjoying our best away form in years.

Equally, Notts County will not be overawed by a visit from the high-flying Saints after an impressive away win against Premiership opposition, Middlesborough, and an undefeated home record.

While a 'big 4' Premiership tie would have been preferable in terms of revenue, Saints look set for another decent run in the Carling Cup for us to enjoy away from the pressures of maintaining our assault on the top of the League.

After his first senior goal for Saints in the previous round, David McGoldrick will be hoping for another run out against the side where we featured on a frustrating loan last season, making 6 appearances, 2 as sub, but failed to find the net. How he would love to show the doubters how he has improved a year on.
