We should make it to six points, however, as Stead is as Steads the only striker looking good to score - it makes me nervous.

Still, Notts are trying to find consistency.

Hope for the win.

Our games at Crawley tend to be low scoring affairs. I don't recall us scoring more than 1 goal at Crawley, but I could be wrong. We won there last season, there's no reason why we can't do so again. I think we are a better team than them, but a point would be acceptable, we need to go on a run of unbeaten games. I'll go for 1-1. Stead to continue his hot streak.

If we can cut out going a goal down early on and stay in the game I don't see why we can't go on to pick up maximum points , would be good to get back to back away wins confidence would increase loads in the players and for us fans also COYP

Another fantastic away performance, imagine what we could do if we actually scored first! Let's hope we can start winning at Meadow lane and start to get a few more fans in, still I have a lot of faith in John Sheridan and this could turn into a very good season. Coyp

Momentum is beginning to build. Great win today.

Excellent away win , slowly but surely progress being made , COYP

E I E I E I O, up the football league we go 

[Elite_pie]

Actually being in the TOP HALF of the table has left me feeling dizzy.

Or maybe (Tarquin Beech style) it's the number of cans I've got through since the Stead penalty went in!

[Chris]

I haven't had a good signal today, its been stormy here and very rainy. I bumped into a couple of other fans, all breaking the news to me.

Jon Stead is on fire!

Haha, I'm glad we manage to keep him and what a great result today. Notts need to keep up the hard work - however I agree, momentum is building. How massive was the Hartlepool win?

[Who r ya?? You Pies!!]

Incredible!  I've just watched the goals on the awful Channel 5 show, and at the end they managed to show LAST WEEK'S table with us in the bottom half!!!

[wacky]

I was going to start a topic on channel 5 football coverage , very poor IMO

[Who r ya?? You Pies!!]

Agree @wacky its poor to say the least , thought it was just me being grumpy and not taking to the change , much preferred the old  football league show . Last night our league table for instance ???

A very good win yesterday, we always seem to jump into life once we concede, but that shows the spirit in the team that they can get themselves back in the game so quickly, what a goal from Adam Campbell! I've heard he's been a changed man in the past two games! If we can keep this run going at the San Sirrel theres no reason why we can't be in the play-offs after accy Stanley

Cracking result yesterday, superb fightback again. First half was a real borefest, literally nothing of note happened and I couldn't really see either side coring. So I certainly didn't expect such a turnaround when we conceeded within a minute of the restart, but it certainly seemed to wake us up! Two quick goals turned it around. Crawley had a couple of guilt edge chances to level things up, but they seemed to run out of ideas, and to be honest we were comfortable for the final 15 minutes. The penalty killed it off, and it could have been four were it not for that lick of paint on the post. Really hope these two away wins will really kick start our season. Nevermind Wednesday night, think you'll do well to find one fan who cares about that, its all about the Grimsby game Saturday. Get a win over them and start to build some serious momentum
