Game 40 - The Boro (A)

Team: Stevenage

Date: 30/03/19

Where: Broadhall Way

What line-up should Neal Ardley opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Stevenage haven't lost a game this season when Ben Nugent has started a game. We've got to be wary of Ilias Chair as well as he's been brilliant since he went there on loan from QPR. 

Would be tempted to put Patching in midfield to add a bit more creativity. Rose is alright but he hasn't done as well as he has at right-back. 

[cheeky~k8]

Simply we just have to get a win.

[Magic magpie]

This is a must win if we want to keep up with Yeovil and Macclesfield and keep our survival in our own hands. The players need to dig even deeper down in to there reserve cause Stevenage won lie down and male easy for us to take the points or point. We need to find the fight and show the extra training sessions are paying off. But we need to get behind the lads and support them. Defence needs to be rock solid and attacking we need to be spot on and take every chance we get. Midfield need to thread the balls throught to the attackers and make sure they get the best chance of scoring.

[TM1993]

If the players don't talk the talk on th pitch, we might aswell accept the worst case scenerio now.

A win could have a significant difference on the table but now is the time to act, I fear a draw which simply wouldn't be good enough.

[liampie]

i think it wll end up as a draw or loss, i just dont think the players can fight for a win. i dont want to be neagtive but we dont seem to be very good at scoring and it always seems every game when the players switch off.

[JimmysIncredible]

It's now or never! Do it for history and retain the late great Jimmy's legacy!!

[The Heff]

Win ugly would do me fine.

I don't understand why Neal Ardley is insisting on getting the players to focus on the football instead of the results. Winning scrappy right now would do. 2-0 Notts win tomorrow.

[NortonNCFC]

The nerves are settling in I just hope Notts can get a result away from home. 1-0 will do me! If Jon Stead scores it should come some supporters quiet too.

[KingMaynard]

I think Notts will win, I just don't think it will be a result that massively helps as I think the other clubs will do well too.

[Chris]

I'm nervous, I always am away from home but a result today is important. A friend's taken me out, so I won't be able to keep updated as much as I would like but I'm sure Google will remind me.

2-0 away win got me.

Hemmings and Tootle.

[Magic magpie]

Jim O’Brien has opened up the scoring after just 5 mins 1-0 

[Magic magpie]

That’s 2-0 Notts Kane Hemmings 26th minute goal puts Notts off the bottom of the table 

[Magic magpie]

Macclesfield have taken the lead against  Lincoln 1-0

[Magic magpie]

Macclesfield 1 Lincoln 1 after 38 minutes the favour is back on 

[Magic magpie]

Enzio makes it 3-0 Notts .. some one slap me I must be dreaming ..!! 

[Magic magpie]

Newport 2-0 and Notts are being handed an ace and this time the lads are cashing in ... 

[super_pie]

[liampie]

so happy right now for our fan base, hope my nerves are wrong!

[Truefootballfan]

So here we are again, how many more times will we be on the verge of safety only to be Shot down in flames the very next game - get a grip folks, of course we all hope for the best but talk of any escape just yet is ridiculous.

[DangerousSausage]

Very commanding performance yesterday. Obviously an early goal really settles everyone down and the onus is on the opposition to respond, which they failed to do. By the time Stevenage woke up we were already 2 goals up. Great stuff

We are in with a chance. If we pick up one more point than Yeovil and Macclesfield over the next six games, we stay up and can put this nightmare behind us.
