BRIAN Horton has vowed to continue with the more attacking 4-3-3 formation that produced an improved display against Mansfield when high-fliers Notts County visit tomorrow, writes SIMON CARTER.

Despite targeting the Notts County game for a comeback for last year's 26-goal hero Jon Parkin, Horton says the big man is still some way from fitness.

But he added: "I don't think we have been missing Jon that much in recent games, now that Allan Russell has found his feet."

Former Stoke boss Gudjon Thordarson has led a quiet revolution at Meadow Lane, transforming a side that narrowly survived relegation into promotion contenders.

LAST YEAR: Macclesfield 1 Notts County 2.

KEY OPPONENT: Rob Ullathorne, talented wing back.

PREDICTION: Maccles- field 2 Notts County 1.
