Middlesbrough: One eye on Meadow Lane

Last updated : 15 December 2004 By Reggie Holdsworth

Notts County replay against Swindon Town at Meadow Lane tonight, the winners earning a home tie against Boro in the FA Cup 3rd round. The Magpies earned a replay with a late equaliser against the Robins at the County Ground eleven days ago.

County are struggling in the lower half of League Two and will see progression in the FA Cup as a boost to their league form. Swindon are currently mid-table in League One, just four points off a play-off place.
