Notts County head coach Martin Paterson expressed concerns that his squad is 'light' ahead of the new League One season. The team has made nine signings this summer, including Ollie Cooper on loan from Swansea City, but has lost 10 players since their promotion in May. With nine first-team players currently injured, including Jodi Jones, Paterson emphasized the need for experienced players to compete effectively. Notts County will begin their season with a Carabao Cup match against Burnley at Turf Moor this Saturday, followed by a League One opener against Leicester City a week later.
