04/10/2008 - Team news: Port Vale v Notts County
After playing every minute of every game since the start of pre-season, on-loan defender Jason Beardsley was rested for the Magpies.
He was replaced at right-back by Adam Tann, and started on the substitutes’ bench.
It was the only change made by boss Ian McParland, following last Saturday’s first league win of the season against Aldershot at Meadow Lane.
The Valiants too, made just one change after defeat in their last outing against Gillingham, with Louis Dodds coming into the side on the right of midfield in place of Simon Richman.
PORT VALE: Anyon, Stockley, McCombe, Collins, Prosser, Dodds, Davidson, Griffith, Tudor, Richards, Rodgers. Subs: Howland, P Edwards, Perry, Glover, D Edwards.
NOTTS: Hoult, Tann, Edwards, Johnson, Clapham, Hamshaw, Butcher, Strachan, Weston, Forrester, Facey. Subs: Pilkington, Beardsley, Smith, Fairclough, Canham.
