....are vital. They will define if we have any aspirations to get out of this league or if we will be settling for mid-table mediocrity/avoiding relegation. 

15th Dec - Wycombe (A) - 10th (With 2 games in hand on most)
19th Dec - Carlisle (A) - 6th
26th Dec - Hartlepool (A) - 20th
28th Dec - Morecambe (H) - 16th
2nd Jan - Oxford (H) - 2nd

So, bearing in mind our away form is atrocious, our next 3 games are all away. Wycombe and Carlisle are definitely in the mix for the play-offs. 

Morecambe and Hartlepool are the easier fixtures on paper. I can't remember Notts ever doing well at Victoria Park. I had a quick google, and it seems we haven't beat them at their own place since 1959. This is followed only 2 days later by Morecambe.

Oxford are obviously having a good season.


I'm not optimistic looking at that list. If we can get  9-10+ points from that lot, then we might be on to something. Any less, we have a very low possibility of making the play-offs, barring an unbeaten Jan/Feb/March. 

Minimum 1 win and 1 draw from the 3 away games

Your not wrong about it being crunch time.

The next three away games are do or die, the one's after, I feel will just finalize things but midtable is fine with me provided we are progressing. I want to see the defence playing better, avoiding weak goals and I want unity between all the players. Nobody is bigger than this club no matter what certain people think.

these 3 games for me will decide ricardo job and future lose all 3 and bottom teams win they'll be near enough above us our very close to us .

So if he wants to keep his job we need to win away minimum 3 points out of 3 won't be good enough  2 wins and a draw is a must 

hopefully Roy Carroll can not kick the ball at anyone on the road this time to 

My expectation would be 10 points out of the next 12. Anything less would be disappointing. There's no way a club with the squad we have shouldn't be in the top 4 at this stage of the season. We should be challenging for the title, it's time we started doing so. 

If we perform like we did yesterday, we should see some good away wins flurry during the winter month.

i think notts are trying desperately to improve away from home, we just need that first win to turn the fortunes i feel. we may not see form like at home but drawing some would help along with the odd win.

So we have 1 point from the last 2 games.

We need to win the next 3 games to achieve that target of 10. I don't see it happening
