Paul Hart gives very good interviews, I could listen to him all day and having met him several times he's a very knowledgeable person. I have seen some negative comments on Twitter, a few days ago and they don't reflect on Paul. He works well and does his job to the best of his ability - if he is allowed to do his job he will bring part of the success required to move forward. His experience is vital for Harry Kewell. If I knew Hart was going to join with Kewell upon Kevin Nolan being sacked I would have been less bothered by the decision. I would have also been more open to Kewell coming in.

I was called mad for pointing out the fitness. ???? Now all of sudden these people who said 'it's only the pre-season', 'we are only x games in' are saying how the players aren't fit enough and haven't been for awhile. Hindsight is such a lovely process. ???? I like how Harry calls things, he clearly understands what he sees and this should help with fixing them.

Fingers crossed Forte is a doubt because he's a good striker. We could have done with him here but the budget needed adjusting I suppose, it should be a good game.

Provided Harry Kewell sees what work needs to be done, the result doesn't matter as such - provided they come a way from the game wanting to improve in the league. It sounded like engines may have ran out a little or at least ideas.

1-0, Lewis Alessandra - good start by the sounds of it.

Far stronger line-up than I expected, I think it should be an eye opener. It's good to see Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ward, Kellett and Husin all making a start.

I swear I read somewhere that he was 35, 33 isn't a bad age. He should be in his element at this level and I just hope he can take the knocks which come this way.

Far better audio than the Facebook live stream!! Cheers @samwatto2008.

Well done Caitlyn, fantastic drawing of our mascot PON Magpie.

@Who r ya?? You Pies!! I feel the same way. I have come to realise that my disappointment is more a reflection of my desire to see a stable Notts County, if Harry Kewell can get Notts playing attacking football focused on retaining the ball it could help - it all depends on him and the squad now. No blame from here should fall on Kevin Nolan.

I don't care remotely about this competition and only the performance is relevant. Use it as a chance to experiment, or alternatively field the squad that might be the starting 11 for league games and make them work hard to impress. *Shrug ????‍♂️

Very touching. The illness I suffer from, EDS isn't acknowledged very much and it's something that most people take 10 years to be diagnosed with despite the symptoms. I become very tired, so I can relate to this. It's just positive about how one person can gain support, without it you can feel isolated. I know at times I feel like this and with pain/depression it's hard. It's a good charity that promotes awareness and it deserves to be understood.

They haven't done it all season so far, at no point was Notts the better team though. Early on both sides was feeling each other out and I feel a draw would have been fairer but Forest Green Rovers played better for most parts. Harry Kewell has a huge task to pull off.

I hope Harry Kewell can hit the ground running, he needs to fix things but I am unsure if an attacking minded manager will be able to grasp the horror that is the Notts County defence.

I honestly feel if Notts had played better, we might have actually gotten something from the game. The early signs was good, however Notts tended to work themselves into silly areas on the pitch and chances would be wasted. At the back, Notts looked much stronger until we conceded and then again every chance Forest Green had it looked like they would score. The thing is, I didn't actually rate them. I praise them for the win, as they played well as a team but we gifted them the game. At 2-1, Notts should commit too many men forward and although I felt like Notts wouldn't score - they had a spell where chances was created. The only striker on the pitch who looked focused was Jon Stead. However, Kane Hemmings and Kristian Dennis had little service and this is something Harry Kewell must work on.

My prediction would be a goalless draw or 1-1. I'm not sure what to expect but the club needs to be positive, they need to work together and most importantly all the players need to give 100%. This season could be salvaged and a win could help but it's very hard to see how it would come. Hopefully Harry Kewell can hit the ground running and get the best out of the players. Let's make the KOP loud and proud tomorrow.

The games more about not conceding silly goals or giving points a way, I can see it being tougher since Kevin Nolan isn't there now. It will be curious to know if the training has changed at all? The approach needs to be perfect, I don't have much faith in Steve Chettle as a manager. Just have to avoid any more damage being done to the squad. No prediction just yet, but it could be a dull game for both teams.

Duffy's pose. ???? Arrogance and nervousness rolled into one that. Plus despite his foot being the closest to the ball, he wouldn't be able to take it off that man dressed as a soldier.

Gary Bowyer, no... please no... I feel utterly depressed now *sigh

Managers thoughts...

It sounds like Notts have adjusted their positional play to cope with the Lincoln attack, however its limiting our own attack. 3-1.... You can't sit back and defend, expecting that a goal will come from nothing. Disappointing yet again by Notts, they should try to get Enzio on the ball and try to make better movement from there. There's just no support, no defending and no output in attack. Kevin Nolan will surely be disappointed and under more pressure.

1-1... It sounds like a very good training ground style free kick that flew us back to level terms.

1-0 down already, the best start imaginal by Notts (sarcasm). If we go into the second half like this, maybe it wouldn't be that much of a set back but Notts needs to wake up.

He's a manager that can transform the club if we allow him. Give him time, he deserved it last season and if things fail - for me it will be the players more than Kevin Nolan's fault. If he continues to play someone, surely they should step up and thank the managers faith in their ability? A good manager may not risk separating the players if he can get a response and I think KN hopes for this happen. He does look to be hurting but blaming the strikers only seems deluded because the pressure if only from the back. It's them failing us! We could have Ronaldo and Messi and they'd make little difference if Richard Duffy decides to pass straight to the opposition as if he's @NcfcT4.
