Err, I don't think Kevin Nolan will have much say in it.

Doh!  Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks @super_ram 

Fine moderator I am, don’t tell @Chris he’ll sack me.

So after last night I’m hoping hopping that harry can pull the team together enough at least we get a point. Cause we don’t want this blip turned in to the grea escape.. 

[B&Wstripes]

It says much about the state of the club when I and other fans are hoping for a draw as the outcome.

I can't see a win happening away from home just yet.

[liampie]

Harry Kewell will have to grasp the squad quickly, soon Notts will need all the points and a win would be a big boost for the club.

[CliftonMagpie]

I can't take another loss, Notts just snatch a draw or fight for a win.

We need to see some sort of fight.

Agreed dude before it’s to late 

[thommo]

I am not confident one bit.

I hate leading up to games feeling like Notts are incapable of winning, only when they do get that first win do I feel it will be turned around.

[Blake]

Even with form Exeter away is a tough game, I can't see Notts winning but if the players take any chances who knows.

[TheSkipper 𝕏 TheSkipperNCFC]

If the defence settles down and focuses, there is a chance Notts could win but I feel unsure myself about Notts maintaining a lead.

Things have to improve sooner or later.

It's a tough game.

I have come to think that Notts requires a difficult set of fixtures, this seasons should have been easier but the squad sunk with very little pressure. Exeter are a good League Two side, they know how to play and at their ground they will make it much harder. I can't see a win, perhaps if the players are fighting to be noticed by Harry Kewell something positive will happen but I think a draw is more likely.

[Fan of Big Tone 𝕏 @mainstandpie]

I'm not expecting a win but I am hoping for a good performance, I would take that, however if we got a draw that would be a bonus, a win and I would be ecstatic.

Daddy Kewell has had a week with them now so hopefully little by little he will be instilling his ideas into them. 

[heraldmagpie]

I don't think Notts will win either but I want to hear of an improvement to the play and if they perform better there is no reason why a draw couldn't happen. I would start with attempting to keep a clean sheet.

[Magic magpie]

After thinking about it for a few days a point and improved game play would do for me. 

A sighn we are improving and heading forward under Harry.

[upthepies]

The only thing I can say is that it should show what progress if any Harry Kewell is having on the squad.

It will take time, if Notts plays well in all the areas a win is more than possible but this may take a few games before it happens.

[AmericanPie]

I am curious if Elliot Hewitt and any of the underperformers so far will make the first 11.

So far Harry Kewell seems to be focused on strengthening the weakest areas and a good defensive performance should say if Ross Fitzsimons can be relied upon at all. I am hoping Notts can get their first win of the season.

[liampie]

squad for today, its good to see oxlade-chamberlain start.

i wished notts would learn to put the in the order they start but it looks a good team.

[TM1993]

Things will slowly improve, I'm hoping for a draw here but Notts could win if they wanted it enough. They just have to protect the very fragile Fitzsimons.

Kick Off...

It sounds like a cricket match when it goes quiet, clapping and random noise. Its all very quiet but the commentary is spot on from David Jackson.

[NCRichie]

Good opening tempo from Notts, they are playing well so far.

Thomas missed a pearl of a chance.

[thommo]

1-0 down set piece, Fitzsimons helpless and now its 2-0.

When will this change?

[theMagpies]

Notts are a shambles this season, they have to go into half time either having pulled one back or preventing a third from going in.

Re-grouping may see a spark.

I feel the games lost at this stage.  

[Super_Danny_Allsopp]

First is just one of those that goes against you when you're without luck.

The second is stupid, was that Thomas trying to dribble out in a stupid position? Can't be doing that there, he had so many other options. Stupid, stupid decision.
