Going to be some game this, Pies.

You've found your form again, and we're still marching on results wise, if not performance wise.

I'd take a draw, right now.

Our three wins on the bounce and the return of some of our most important players set us up beautifully for this. But as the only side in League Two to have shown any real consistency, Walsall have to be favourites for this. Hope we can channel the underdog spirit and keep the run going!

Walsall are the most consistent side in the division. Their results speak for themselves. They don't get the respect they deserve and they are fine with that I think. They keep doing their thing. 

It has the makings of a classic. The 2 best sides in the division. Home advantage could swing it in our favour. A point would be acceptable.

The most important game of the season for Notts on New Year's Day. Home advantage should help along with a big crowd to cheer the Magpies on to what could be a vital win.

Walsall are arguably the best team in the division currently & are seemingly a cut above the rest.

A win for Notts tomorrow would be very significant in the run of things, & would certainly send a message to the rest of the division.

I think it will be a very close match, with the odd goal deciding it. A win would be absolutely fantastic, but I would settle for a point. I think avoiding a defeat is very important.

Last season against Mansfield at home, in a similar very important crunch match, Notts were soundly beaten. Notts just need to reverse that against Walsall.

It's Matchday.

CMON U PIES!!!
