will be good to see how well we do against a side struggle for form but tipped for promotion. does the swindon fan still post or visit pon? i dont remember his name. it would be good to see his views.

[Chris]

Aye, I think so @liampie.

It reminds me I can ask @medievalmickey to provide me his thoughts on the upcoming game, hopefully all is well with him but I think he does visit still.

[Countyman]

I can see it ending a draw but we have to keep the run going for as long as we can. Fortress Meadow Lane!

[TheSkipper]

Swindon beat Luton Town 3-0 yesterday so they can do well.

I think they are finding their feet and adjusting to the league, but Notts have to be prepared defensively. I am more confident because we are playing quite well and have a decent run going, though it helps that we are at Meadow Lane.

Honestly, I would take a draw but hope for the win.

[heraldmagpie]

We are due a drew but hopefully we can showcase what we are about this season and get the win.

Well Swindon beat Luton coming off a two game defeat and a draw, so they don't seem consistent just yet.

Much will go down to who plays better on the day.

I think the same pretty much, we look much better at home than we do away from it.

Meadow Lane is breeding a lot of confidence into the players, from the changes behind the scenes to the pitch itself. We just need to work on creating chances, they're a decent opposition but I think some are underestimating them.

Think Notts will win here. Be good to see how Forte plays over 90 mins. 2-0 Notts County

[liampie]

i feel quite nervous now, the bubble will burst sooner or later but i just hope the players work hard. take a point now.

[Chris]

Well, Swindon tried to hit us with pace and played exactly as I outlined in our scouting report feature.

They didn't play 'great', but they was decent enough.

Hard work pulled the victory off, however knew the game wouldn't see many goals and thankfully we got the penalty (as neither side looked capable of scoring). This said, I do feel we deserved the win because we played as one unit. 

[Fozzy]

It's just not good enough, I'm starting to run out of things to moan about!

Can't fault yesterday's performance, it was a big gamble to make so many changes for the match, especially against strong opponents, but it worked. 

Still waiting for Stead to score in open play though 

 

[liampie]

thought we really missed shola.

yet all who started did very well and despite people like tootle, stead etc all seeming tired. they stayed committed! very pleased with the win.

[Countyman]

If Stead didn't score the penalty it would have been a draw.

I felt Notts defended very well but lacked any spark up front, Forte tried but we desperately need another striker. Good team performance but I hope for a more polished performance all round.
