The atmosphere at recent Notts County home games really has been impressive, especially given the situation we have found ourselves this season.
The optimism around Meadow Lane has made both the 2-1 wins over Crawley Town and then Cheltenham Town all the more enjoyable.
Performances may require further work, with spells in both games being quite stale at times – the important factor is the fact we are able to win games.
It's especially good to see two home wins back to back, and it just goes to show how things legitimately seem to be turning around when you consider that it wasn't that far back that we had lost 10 league games in a row.
For me Accrington Stanley is always a difficult game for Notts, I wasn’t overly disheartened by the result but the performance was bad by all accounts.
With Kevin Nolan quietly working in his management style and with the January signings at his disposal, it would seem the club has adapted, working as a priority fully focused on making our home form and Meadow Lane a place where we can be entertained.
It’s still early days, yet the passion has been restored in the stands and even speaking with fans, you can see an eagerness for the new era to be successful.
In our most recent match against Cheltenham Town, it started quite slow and scrappy.
Neither side looked all that convincing going forward, however Notts did look the better of the two even early on. With the players working hard on the pitch, chances fell and it created more reasons for our fans to sing their hearts out.
The goal made a massive difference, under our new boss Notts does seem like a team wanting to have fun on the pitch.
If you took a few moments to look around the stands, you would see just how much of a relief it was that we had scored – not because we desperately require wins in order to secure safety within League Two but because it felt like there is a massive difference around the club.
I wrote a tweet after the Accrington game after seeing fans disheartened, and I suggested that perhaps Meadow Lane would be where we found the form to find safety.
Certainly, I feel far more optimistic about home games now, than I do about away games.
Yet all the remaining games are of huge importance and we don’t need Adam Collin or Mark Yeates to inform us fans of this.
In fact, I would hope all the players focus on their performances and when the media come across to enquire about upcoming games – it would be welcome if they let this do their talking.
This past part might sound a little blunt, however I am now at the stage whereby I would just want to see safety and continue to enjoy the feel good factor. I don’t fault anyone trying to be optimistic, it’s simply down to the fact I’ve heard it all before.
Our next four games will confirm just how important things will be, if Notts can continue to pick up wins and perhaps a draw or two – things will look vastly different.
The league table now allows for breathing, hopefully after Exeter, Leyton Orient and even Yeovil Town this will be more so the case.

Richard Duffy has claimed that Notts County have "nothing to fear" when Exeter City visit Meadow Lane on Tuesday night.
The Magpies are looking for their third consecutive home win following their 2-1 victory over Cheltenham Town at the weekend, in which Duffy scored.
Exeter have the best away record in League Two, with a massive 10 wins out of 16 fixtures on the road so far, but the former Wales international is up to the challenge.
Duffy told the Nottingham Post: "They've got the best away record in all four divisions I think. They will come here full of confidence.
"They've been on a great run although they lost to Plymouth at the weekend. But we have nothing to fear given the way we played in the first half against Cheltenham.
"We saw the game out in the second because they are not an easy team to play against. They are direct and you have to defend for your lives."
Duffy had kind words to say about the turnout in the game against the Robins, adding: "The crowd got behind us and it was probably the best first-half performance of the season.
"It was great support for where we are in the league. The teams around us are getting nowhere near that, so a big thanks to the fans for turning up."

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has revealed that Jon Stead was in fact the subject of a bid from the United States, but was not willing to let his top scorer go.
There were rumours going round in January that the striker was on the radar of an American club, but ultimately he stayed put at Meadow Lane.
Stead scored his 11th goal of the season against Cheltenham Town on Saturday, which proved crucial as the final result was 2-1 and helped the Magpies create some distance between them and the bottom two.
Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "He's had a great opportunity to go and play across the water and it would have been life changing for him and his family. But I just told him that I could not let my top scorer go.
"I brought people in who can work with him, but nobody who could replace him. He's been first class since I came in and I just thought it looked like a different Jon Stead.
"There's been a lot of speculation but we finally put that to bed earlier this week. He has been fantastic since I came in so I am delighted for him."

Kevin Nolan has described his Notts County charges as "absolutely fantastic" after their 2-1 home win over Cheltenham Town on Saturday.
The Magpies moved three points clear of League Two's relegation zone as Jon Stead and Richard Duffy scored, while Manny Onariase's late strike did not prove more than a consolation in the end.
Nolan told the official Notts site: "I've got to take my hat off to the boys - they were absolutely fantastic.
"We created a lot of chances, which is very pleasing, and hopefully we can now start to chip away at the goal difference we've inherited over the last few months.
"The more games we win, the more the confidence comes back.
"Attention now turns to the next game. We've got to make sure we're professional and ready for Tuesday (against Exeter City).
"It's going to be another tough one and it's about building momentum."

Notts County have extended their gap above the League Two relegation zone to three points after a 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town in Saturday's game at Meadow Lane.
The Magpies began brightly and took the lead in the 24th minute when Michael O'Connor unlocked the Robins defence with a delightful pass which curled into the path of a charging Jon Stead, who bore down on goal under pressure and rifled past Scott Brown into the roof of the net.
Just nine minutes later, Kevin Nolan's side had doubled their lead with the kind of goal which has often been their undoing this season, so it was a relief to see it scored at the other end of the pitch as Mark Yeates swung a corner into the box and Richard Duffy shrugged off the opposition defenders to nod home.
Notts could have been three to the good just before half time when Stead raced through one-on-one, but Brown blocked well this time.
Despite a tactical shuffle by Cheltenham boss Gary Johnson, which saw his side improve, Notts remained a threat as substitute Jonathan Forte hit the post and Tahvon Campbell skewed the follow-up wide in the 75th minute.
Manny Onariase managed to grab a late goal for the visitors to set up a nervy finish for the home crowd, but the Magpies held firm and secured all three points which gave their first against the drop a much-needed boost.

Notts County and Cheltenham Town have faced off just nine times in their history, and all meetings have come in the 21st century.
The first clash was on 28 September 2002, when the Magpies played away at Whaddon Road and won 4-1.
The last game, meanwhile, was earlier this season, a 3-2 win at Whaddon Road with Jon Stead bagging a brace after Jonathan Forte opened the scoring four minutes in.
As it stands, the Magpies have 5 wins, 2 defeats, and 2 draws against Cheltenham.
Cheltenham Town was founded in 1887 by Albert Close White, a local teacher.
However, the town has prior football history - in 1849, the first use of three official referees in a match, two in field and one in tribune, was recorded in Cheltenham.
Promoted to The Football League as Conference Premier champions in 1999, Cheltenham have played as high as League One, the third tier of English football, spending a total of four seasons there.
Their best FA Cup run saw them reach the last 16 (fifth round) in 2002.
The last piece of silverware won by the club was the National League title in 2015–2016.
Its league status was lost with relegation in 2015, only for the team to return, as champions, a year later.
Two former Notts managers, Steve Cotterill and Martin Allen, have also done time at the Gloucestershire club.
Team news
Notts County boss Kevin Nolan hopes Thierry Audel will be fit to give him a full squad to choose from against Cheltenham Town.
Audel limped off injured during the first half of the defeat at Accrington last weekend and the Frenchman will be assessed.
Fellow defender Carl Dickinson has returned to training this week and is available along with midfielder Curtis Thompson, who served a one-match ban against Stanley.
Former Newcastle United striker Shola Ameobi could be in line for his home debut after joining the Magpies last week on a deal until the end of the season.
Cheltenham manager Gary Johnson must decide what shape to select his team in.
Last week's more positive side drew 1-1 at home to Newport, having most recently won 3-2 at Luton in a defensive 5-4-1 formation.
Recent signing Liam Davis made his debut last week and is expected to retain his place.
Danny Wright could be pushing for a recall after appearing against Newport as a substitute.

Notts County goalkeeper Adam Collin has admitted that the season has been tough so far, but believes that the Magpies are "steadying the ship" following Kevin Nolan's arrival.
The 32-year-old joined Notts in the summer following a career which began at Newcastle United and saw him turn out for the likes of Rotherham United, Carlisle United and non-league Workington AFC.
He told the Eastwood & Kimberley Advertiser: “The move to Notts County came about as soon as John Sheridan and Mark Crossley were appointed as the new management team.
“I was out of contract after a successful three years at Rotherham United and they got in touch asking if I would like to come in as No.1 goalkeeper.
“It’s been a very tough season so far. We started well and then all of a sudden the wheels fell off and we lost 10 games in a row.
“We were conceding too many goals and not scoring enough and now, with a change of manager, we look to be steadying the ship and getting back to looking a solid team.
“The new manager has come in and looked to make us harder to beat and more solid. We have good players we just needed a settled shape to the team and to be more organised.”
Collin also spoke about playing in the derby against Mansfield and keeping a clean sheet, as well as feeling pride at having youngsters from his academy in attendance.
He added: “The derby was a great game to play in. The atmosphere was fantastic and to get a clean sheet and to make a good save off the deflected shot was the highlight for me, plus to have quite a few of my young goalies from the academy there watching was a big bonus.”
The AC1 Goalkeeping Academy is based in Mansfield and currently has around 30 youngsters learning the ropes - for more information click here.

Kevin Nolan has revealed that Richard Duffy has chosen to have a clause removed from his Notts County contract which would have trigged an extension in order to continue being picked for the Magpies.
The Notts boss claimed that Alan Hardy, having taken over the club a month ago, was not happy with the clause, given the club's risky situation near the bottom of League Two, but they would review his deal "as soon as we're safe".
Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "When I first came in he had to make one more appearance and he would've got a new contract.
"But the chairman wasn't happy with that, so we spoke to Duffer and said 'if you take the clause out you can be available to play'.
"He said 'take it out, I don't care, I want to play for this club' – and fair play to him, hats off to him, the man has been absolutely fantastic since I've walked through the door.
"The fans should know what he's done because he wants to play here, he wants to do the business here.
"I've seen a lot of players down the years when they've got it, going 'no I'll just sit here and take my money'.
"But that's not Richard Duffy, he wants to be involved, he wants to help the cause.
"And he knows if he keeps performing the way he is there's going to be people wanting to sign him at the end of the season, and hopefully it's going to be us who gets him.
"I've said to him, 'as soon as we're safe, we'll talk'.
"Hopefully we will get safe as soon as possible and then we can start talking contracts with lads who we want to keep.
"Listen, that's way down the line. All I want to do is put it out there what that lad's done, and how much he's here for the cause.
"When you've got people like him in your dressing room you've always got a good chance."

This season came off the back of a truly calamitous campaign in 1996-97 that saw Notts County embark on a record 20-match winless run and suffer relegation to the basement division for the first time since the 1960s. The manager was Sam Allardyce, who had inherited Colin Murphy's rudderless team part-way through that awful run.
Allardyce made only modest changes to the previous season's squad in the summer. Dennis Pearce and Mark Robson arrived from Wolves and Charlton respectively, with the outgoings including Paul Rogers and Tony Agana.
The season began with back-to-back wins over Rochdale and Hull before a controversial defeat at home to Lincoln in which Devon White took an early bath. This was followed by draws against Cardiff and Hartlepool as the Magpies started to look in danger of losing their early momentum. However, their position at the top end of the table was cemented by four straight wins including a 1-0 win over Mansfield featuring a possibly offside Gary Martindale goal.
By this time Notts had a settled and confident team, something that eluded them in the previous campaign. Darren Ward held down the number one jersey, the talismanic and slightly caveman-like Gary Strodder was partnered at centre-half by Matt Redmile and Ian Richardson at different points of the season. Ian Baraclough, who in the previous season had played at left-back and had famously been voted the worst player in the club's history, was moved into midfield and did sufficiently well to attract the attention of QPR, who he joined in March. The Notts midfield also had its share of young talent in Steve Finnan and Shaun Derry, while Gary Jones partnered Sean Farrell up front. The team was captained by reliable right-back Ian Hendon, still probably the best taker of a penalty I have seen. While lacking the subtlety of the class of 2010, Allardyce's team offered just the right blend of guile and muscle to succeed in the fourth division.
Notts rose to the top of the table with a 5-2 home win over a farcically bad (and relegation-bound) Doncaster Rovers team in December. Not on the score sheet that day was Doncaster native Gary Jones, who by that point had only netted five times. However, Jones would go on to score 23 goals in our final 23 games!
The win over Doncaster was the second of what proved to be a club-record run of ten consecutive wins stretching from the beginning of December to the end of February. This record was clinched in a memorable 5-3 victory at Lincoln in which we raced into a 3-0 half-time lead. Early in the second half keeper Darren Ward missed the ball when attempting a clearance, leaving the Lincoln player with a tap-in, and 15 minutes later the hosts were level. However, Notts were determined. Seconds after the restart Jones charged down a clearance by the Imps' keeper and eventually a ninth straight win was secured in front of well over 2000 travelling fans. The tenth win was secured at Field Mill, with hundreds of Notts fans locked out.
By the time the run ended, Notts were clear at the top of the division by a big margin and promotion was just a matter of time. Promotion and the title were clinched in a tight 1-0 win over Leyton Orient on 28 March, with six matches to spare. This made us the first team ever to win a championship before the end of March. The curtain came down on the season with a 5-2 home win against Rotherham in front of over 12,000 spectators, as well as the obligatory pitch invasion and an “interesting” rendition of "We Are The Champions" by Allardyce.
The record-breaking team was broken up soon afterwards. We went into the following season with a raft of new signings to replace the likes of Phil Robinson, Shaun Derry and Ian Baraclough. And although both remained at the club, the Jones-Farrell partnership was also not to last. Sean Farrell suffered a long-term injury early in the following season, and Gary Jones never recaptured his form and eventually left the club for Hartlepool. By the end of 98-99, only five of the first 11 had featured in the championship-winning campaign. However, the 97-98 season remains a masterclass in turning a failing team around.
Disappearing from view (sorry WSC)
Devon White
Following a stint at Lincoln City in the mid-80s, the physical, Nottingham-born striker drifted back into non-league until Gerry Francis took him to Bristol Rovers, where he scored 53 goals in 202 appearances. Francis then took him with him to QPR in 1993, where he scored nine goals in 26 Premier League appearances before joining Notts for the first time in 1994. White had rejoined Notts from Watford in early 1997 but left again in September after losing his first-team place. After a subsequent spell at Shrewsbury, he returned to non-league football and is now an electrician.
Went on to greater things
Steve Finnan
Steve Finnan originally arrived as a young loanee from Birmingham City in the 1995-96 season and became a fixture in the team that reached the play-off final in what is now League One. He joined permanently the following season and was a key supplier of goals from the right wing in 97-98. Kevin Keegan then signed him for Fulham for £600,000 in November 1998. In the 2000s Finnan mainly played in the right-back position and became part of the Premier League furniture for Fulham and subsequently Liverpool, where he became a Champions League winner.

Mark Yeates has claimed that the next two games for Notts County - both at home - will have a huge bearing on whether the club will survive in League Two or not.
The Magpies welcome Cheltenham Town to Meadow Lane at the weekend before hosting Exeter City on Tuesday evening.
With Kevin Nolan's side just a point above the bottom two and basement side Newport County having a game in hand which, if won right now, would put them above Notts, Yeates wants his new club to keep up the good work at home.
The former Leyton Orient manager has enjoyed an unbeaten start at Meadow Lane since taking over as Magpies boss, having drawn against Mansfield and beating Crawley.
"It goes right down to the wire with these things," Yeates told the Nottingham Post.
"We are hoping to get a good run of results and put a bit of breathing space between us and other clubs.
"It's only February and you don't want to be putting negatives or positives on anything at the moment.
"It has to be one game at a time. I know it sounds like a cliché but it has to be like that.
"But we've got two home games coming up which I think are going to be massive. If teams are going to win leagues or stay up, then they have to have a good home record."

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Aaron Collins has spoken fondly of his loan spell at Notts County, praising the club's staff, players and fans.
The 19-year-old made 22 appearances for the Magpies - 18 from the bench - scoring three goals in all competitions, including a strike in the FA Cup against Boreham Wood.
“I was able to settle into things really quickly,” Collins told the Wolves website.
“I signed on a Thursday for Notts County, then on the Friday I trained with the team for the first time and on the Saturday I made my league debut for them and I scored.
“I managed to start off really well and that is because I think I settled in there really easily.
“I haven’t got a bad thing to say about the club, they were fantastic with me. The staff were very welcoming and the players were all really nice to me throughout my time with them.
“Like I said, I started off really well and from there I just wanted to enjoy myself and enjoy the football that I was playing.
“I didn’t perhaps play as much as I would have liked to but that was because they had two really good strikers who were already at the club and it was hard to get into the team.
“However, I scored three goals - all on my left foot - and it was a good experience to have and it was nice to score some goals in the league.
“It was a really good way to start things off at the club and I was just happy that I could give the fans something to cheer about because I wanted to make a good early impression and I felt I managed to do that.
“I felt like all the way through my time with County that the fans were great with me and it was nice to feel welcomed immediately because sometimes that isn’t always the case.
“If you don’t get off to a good start then sometimes things can turn sour but luckily that didn’t happen for me.
“The fans were always interacting with me saying I should be playing more games and when you see fans calling for that it gives you that little confidence boost and it makes you want to try harder for them because that is what they want.
“When I got my chances to play, I tried to give them something to cheer about and I just want to say thank you to them all for making me feel so welcome during my time with the club.”

Notts County boss Kevin Nolan has claimed that shouting at players in the dressing room does not work, as his charges "know what is expected of them".
The Magpies hover just above the League Two relegation zone following their 2-0 loss at Accrington Stanley.
Notts currently have the worst goal difference in the league and have suffered 17 defeats out of 29 games, but Nolan insists - speaking from experience - that a more constructive approach works better.
"I know I am a shouter and bawler on the side, but in the dressing room I don't because I want the message to get across," he told the Nottingham Post.
"I remember when I was a player you sort of switch off when somebody is having a go and becoming confrontational.
"If you talk to the players how you would if you had won then I think it sinks in more.
"The majority of the time I just say how disappointed I am, what I was disappointed with and why. They will get all the information back once I have shown them the video.
"But it's important that we don't get too high when we win, and too low when we lose.
"We have to keep a happy medium. That is what I am here to do as are Tommo (Richard Thomas) and Norm (Mark Crossley).
"But the players know what is expected of them and come the end of the season I am sure we will be happy."

Shola Ameobi has pledged to use his experience to help Notts County stave off relegation after describing joining the club as a "huge honour".
The 35-year-old penned a contract until the end of the season before the 2-0 defeat at Accrington Stanley, in which he came on as a substitute.
He believes that having played at Newcastle United alongside Magpies boss Kevin Nolan and player-coach Alan Smith, the three can be a catalyst for an unturn in form.
"I know the manager and Alan Smith very well from our days at Newcastle," Ameobi is quoted by the Shields Gazette as saying. "So it has been great to join up with them again.
"I feel I can use my experience to help the club on and off the pitch and the manager will value that.
"It's all about playing - that's all that matters. Regardless of who you play, you still get the same buzz and the adrenaline still pumps. I'm really excited to get back playing again.
"It's a huge honour for me to join a club like this, one of the founder members of the Football League."
Manager Nolan is also delighted to have the considerable experience of Ameobi on board.
And he revealed the frontman was training with the Newcastle Under-23 side in order to remain fit, with a view to a return to football.
Nolan said: "Shola is a great lad and he has kept himself in great shape by training with Newcastle's Under 23 side for the last six months. I'm delighted we have been able to get the deal done."

Michael O’Connor for me was the standout signing at the start of the season. As a player, he looked to have all the right qualities that Notts would require.
However, for the most part of this 2016/17 season, he has been nothing short of average.
I believe the recruitment at the club at the time had identified a player very much capable of being a fan favourite.
Whilst the decision to name O’Connor as the captain did seem to be a good call, I would say that in hindsight it has lumbered the Northern Irish midfielder with additional pressure.
He’s not an experienced head within the Notts camp, where too many players have largely gone missing.
It may have been wiser to name Jon Stead the captain, yet to say this season we aimed to sign “leaders” on the pitch, Notts really don’t have many other suitable candidates.
The captain [or Skipper as I prefer] must have the ability to drive other players forward, they’re the inspiration in the starting 11, the player that others look up to and demonstrates a never dying attitude.
There’s been no better leader during my time of supporting Notts than Neal Bishop, even when Notts looked out of games, Bish would lead the squad to the best of his ability.
As a footballer, he introduced the hard-working ethic that won over many fans.
His ability as a player may have been limited, yet he had many other defining qualities that made him the perfect candidate, none more so than the sheer desire to give 100 percent.
He picked others up, offered the type of personal pride that goes along way and that respect of the Notts shirt is a rare asset.
O’Connor could very well redefine himself under Kevin Nolan - his performance against Crawley Town was one of his better appearances.
I would like to see him communicating with his teammates more, ensuring that we attacked games and actually moved forward when possible.
His encouragement to anyone who may be struggling may offer the togetherness that the 2016/17 squad lacks.
You have to lead by example, something I do not feel O’Connor has been doing. Yet I wouldn’t question his dedication, more his performance and attitude to work on improving on the field.
Hopefully as I have mentioned we will see a different player under Nolan, there is no denying what skills and assets he can bring, the question is will he?
I think he may be one of the players who will largely improve next season, provided he stays around long enough.
If he focuses more on preparing for games rather than what he is doing on social media, gives 100 percent and tries to impress in the right way.
He can help to keep Notts in this division, and I am interest in seeing him alongside Nolan. If they, as a pair can offer a partnership that benefits the strikers and defenders, we may turn the season around without the help of signings made on deadline day.
Yet Mark Yeates, Jorge Grant and Marc Bola all seem excellent captures, so really it’s a suitable time for Notts to find its leader on the pitch.
Whilst I don’t think Michael may be anywhere near our worst player, I wouldn’t name him as someone who isn’t replaceable and as a captain I really do feel this shouldn’t be the case.
Notts have some key games to play in the coming weeks, like Cheltenham Town and later Leyton Orient.
These are all must win games and the inspired O’Connor that took the field against Crawley Town, helping to seal the second home victory of the season, would be like having a new signing within its own right.

Kevin Nolan has stressed to his Notts County players that every game from now until the end of the season is crucial if they are to survive the drop.
The Magpies slipped to one point behind League Two's bottom two after losing 2-0 at Accrington Stanley.
Nolan plans to debrief his charges by showing them the video of the game at the Wham Stadium before telling them to put it behind them and focus on Cheltenham Town.
The manager told the Nottingham Post: "Every game from now until the end of the season is a big game and it doesn't matter who you are playing. We have to make sure we are up for it.
"We can't put in inept performances against anyone and then think it's okay because we have another game the following week. It's not like that.
"When you are in this situation, every game counts no matter whether you are playing teams at the top of the league or the bottom.
"The Cheltenham game is no more important than any other. Yes, they are around us but for me it's 11 men versus 11. We've just got to be sure to be better than them next week."
Notts have lowered the home ticket prices for the Cheltenham fixture next Saturday at Meadow Lane to £12.
