0-0 I reckon. That is all.....

For JF to have any hope of getting Notts fans on his side, and keeping his job, he has to start winning games at home.

To do that, he has to adopt a more attacking style of play, create chances and more shots on target.

There is simply no point in sitting back and defending....he's tried that...and keeps losing!

So he should encourage the attackers to push forward and put pressure on Exeter...and the midfield to support them.

Wingers should do their job, get to the byline and get crosses into the box.

I honestly think JF is stuck between a rock and a hard place......his "let's not lose" mentality is stifling any creative spark that Notts possessed under Moniz

I predicted 6 more points for Notts in the competition thread....this could be 3 of them......if we ATTACK for 90 minutes.

3-1 to Notts....or another 0-0 bore-draw?

Notts need to get a point or more from this match or I will have to revise my prediction. Hopefully the lose by trying not to lose philosophy will be replaced by a win by trying to win...

Loach should remain the goalkeeper and it would be good to see Snijders or Valencic getting a chance in the first team.

There's very little chance of that happening!

Exeter is a team I feel we should play some good football against, however we have had a string of woeful performances and confidence is quite down. If we cannot get a point here or more, then I would be very disappointed.

Like always, I will be cheering the players and trying to make an impact.

However, I do feel it will be a very, very depressing afternoon and more so by the evening. I'm really not enjoying going to the Lane, it feels like a task - I know @Joe Jones feels the same way (probably worse) but this is the exact reason why a win would be good for all. McLeod needs to run for every ball and try his hardest to get shots away. Banton and whoever is on the wing need to be direct, Noble or the CM need to be creative and whoever plays in defence needs to be solid as a rock! Let's not rely on Loach to save us, go out and do it ourselves.

Fullarton, make the right choices - build bridges and prepare our strongest 11 for this game.

I have this down as a draw in my points prediction for the season. Whatever the score is, I'm not too bothered, but please get at least a point! Let's see who he picks this week, but I doubt there will be any flair selected.

I haven't got a season ticket, so I have to physically part with money every time I go to a game - and at the moment the thought of giving half a day's wages to an institution that is in the state it is, to watch a team that, despite being great on paper, is at its lowest ebb in terms of morale and form, hasn't scored in four games despite having a player in the squad that scored against Chelsea last season, led by a completely inexperienced manager who very few fans want at the club, and serves up football that is actually agonising to watch and, based on the last few games, gives no actual hope that there may be a goal, never mind a win, with any initial playoff hopes turning into relegation worries in the space of a few weeks - sorry, I just can't do it.

2-0 Exeter I reckon. If we win I'll be delighted and relieved, but I can't see it happening.

I don't blame you

@Joe JonesIf I didn't have a season ticket then I wouldn't be going Saturday. To pay on the day Saturday would just be throwing good money away. If Notts - seemingly under the instruction of the manager - continue to play defensive, negative football then I won't be shelling out for a season ticket in the summer.

I'm preparing to head out now, just sorting a few last minute things out.

Notts better do well today, they'll be letting my eldest daughter down and it's her birthday. Fingers crossed it can bring us some luck but it didn't help the previous Saturday when it was also a birthday held quite close to my heart.

Anywho, Exeter aren't a side I think we should fear.

Going into the game we probably will but I just want to see Notts pass the ball around nicely, moving sharply and supporting the attacks we create. If we can retain and build, it would make such a huge difference. We have given the ball away far too much under Jamie Fullarton - some players like Curtis Thompson look as if they're different players. Lets stop this rot and get a good result today! COYP

I can only see a bad atmosphere and no Stanley again today, I can't see us getting more than a draw, Fullerton has just taken my optimism away
