Game 13 - The Ravens (H)

Team: Bromley

Date: 26/10/2021

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Ian Burchnall 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.

Just watched their highlights against Aldershot. They finished with 3 points and a 3-2 win, but judging by the highlights, Aldershot might feel they should've won that.

1st goal is a long throw and scramble.
2nd goal is a corner and Aldershot's keeper throws it into his own net.
3rd goal is a corner turned into a scramble and then a handball and penalty. 

 

Could be a very frustrating evening. 

Notts struggle against physical, gritty sides. Guess what Bromley are? They have won 6 games in a row. They have beaten Torquay and Grimsby during that run. Grimsby have lost just one game all season so that win over Grimsby was impressive. Notts had a fantastic victory over Stockport and will be confident going into the game tonight. It should be exciting if nothing else. I think Notts will win 3-2. 

Disappointing to draw after leading. Cheek is quality at this level. Would love to see him at Notts. We gained a point on Grimsby so that's a plus. The game against them next Saturday is massive. It's a must not lose game. 

Sounds like another solid performance, sadly not rewarded with all three points due to questionable defending. Very frustrating, but if we can win at Grimsby (OK, that's a huge if), it's been a good week. Bit frustrating that we're already playing catch-up so early in the season, but we are where we are.

Pretty much how they got their goal against us: long ball into the box, win the first header then scramble. 

I can't say I feel defeated by drawing, clumsy goal to concede, but it sounded like Bromley made a game of it. If I put myself into their shoes, I'd be happy with the fight back - as a Notts fan I do wish we could've maintained the lead, but a good game meant the points had to be shared.

I have a feeling that Bromley are getting the rub of the green at the minute; I've watched a lot of their highlights and many of their goals are scrambles that somehow finds its way in. No doubt their a good side, but they will have a period where that doesn't stick.

Not saying they're a bad side, just a bit unfortunate we got them while their going well.
