Notts County One Step Closer to English Football League Return After 3-2 Win Against Boreham Wood

A remarkable turnabout was always within reach. I know people thought I were deluded for suggesting it or questioned my faith, but I always felt that an early goal would give us that spark. I couldn't stop shaking after the game. I also still feel slightly concussed after being hit in the head twice by accident, but it's worth every moment.

Our fans were class from pre-match to the moments after the final whistle, so pleased for us all that we're going to Wembley.

i felt a bit fed up with how notts played in the first half, it became disappointing to see how poorly we defended and although i credit Boreham Wood for their pressure they were gifted their second. the first was a very well timed run and excellent finish, they deserved that but the game from a notts perspective needed more robust defending.

a much better second half with goals coming right when we needed, i thought ruben rodigues struck a very poor penalty, he did not look confident leading up to it but i dont think anyone should really complain. jodi jones is just incredible and if we dont act to sign him he has shown others that he is class. strike whilst the iron is hot notts, get him on board.

I was on the edge of my seat! Notts has a history of struggling in important matches. Boreham Wood's first goal was skillfully executed, but Notts' defense was lacking. Some fans thought Sam Slocombe could have done more, but the real issue was a lapse in defensive focus. The second goal was a disastrous mistake. In the second half, Notts played more like their usual selves. If their first goal had come later, the outcome may have been different. Penalties are always nerve-wracking, but Luke Williams' decision to switch Jodi Jones and Aaron Nemane proved successful.

Even though we were down 2-0 against Boreham Wood, we rallied with determination and spirit to triumph 3-2 in extra time - an incredibly moving win.

It was absolutely amazing to see Notts come back and score 2 goals to even the score. When Ruben Rodrigues missed the penalty, I was worried it wasn’t going to be our day. But despite all the emotions, Notts kept their cool and pushed for the win.

There is no greater feeling than achieving a victory like that, especially after being 2-0 down and enduring the gloating of their players. Listening to their fans sing chants that, in retrospect, make them look foolish - yes, everyone does it, but they only did it while they were winning. Boreham Wood supporters could learn from us and sing more consistently throughout the entire 90 minutes.

I don’t know how you guys survived that game. It had everything and my heart stopped at halftime. I felt for you guys, I really did. I thought it wasn’t going to be your day, not because I doubted your skills, but because everything seemed to be going against you. And I know it sounds crazy, but when your player scored the winner, I almost ran straight into my garden in excitement. Football is one heck of an obsession and I’m thrilled for you guys!
