Notts needs to start picking up more points than they lose, draws at this stage could make all the difference. I know some turn up their noses at a point but when others are losing it could be enough to make a difference come the end of the season.

Nobody will win every game.

Seeing the remaining fixture run for all the teams gives me some hope, I can't say much after Newport because I feel it could have undone some of the good progress. I don't think we'll win every game and there will be wake up calls.

I just feel it will be much harder.

Still all to do. I thought we might get something out of Newport but they exposed the defences inexperience. 

If we can recover from that we stand a chance, but we desperately need to start scoring goals  and I can’t see who is going to do it.

The next five games will say more about the situation the club will be in come the end of the season. If the players can pick themselves up from Newport and bounce back, progress can be made.

My aim would be to tighten the back up and get someone to take the pressure off them.

Calmer passing would make a difference IMO.

It's hard to read much out of fixture lists to be honest - who would have thought that we'd take 7 points from three of the top four? And as the season draws to a close, a lot depends on the attitude of the opposition. For instance, two of our rivals are playing Carlisle and Bury on the final day - difficult opposition on paper, but if they've already qualified for the play-offs by then they may well be resting players. If they still need points it's a different story though...

The long and short of it is that we need to win matches. If we do, everything will fall into place.

Leaving it too late, it's just going to get harder. Notts needs to remove the chance and luck, focus only on getting the points in order to float.

I think so too, Notts always does this and we'll either stay up by a point or relegated because of not winning the final game.
