Just comeback stronger against Mansfield, all Notts fans want to see a good game - so defend bravely. I doubt anyone is overly bothered about losing to Rochdale (fan wise) especially since it was in the EFL Tinpot Cup.

Hopefully this holds no impact on our form, yet I can't help but feel it is poor to go 1-0 up and then to allow the team you was beating to take the lead 2-1. Are we out of this abysmal cup yet?

Haha! Don't do that, I've already admitted he's proved his worth and how I was wrong. That said we shouldn't be relying on because if he gets injured who will score the goals we require to win games? So far, Jon Stead is our main outlet and without him on fire - we wouldn't be doing so well. PS. I recall Ray posting on MAD recommending fans make suggestions regarding talent, I wonder if he would ask us to do it now?

Thanks to @ohstanleyaborah, @magpiejue and @shuey pie for taking the time to feature in our video. Your answers and time is greatly appreciated.

Questions: What is your assessment of the season so far, and how can the magpies improve? Aside from Jon Stead, where else can Notts get the required goals to win games and who should partner the inform striker upfront? How do you feel about Notts right now? Has things improved off the field/media wise? and more. If you would like to feature, get in touch! Feel free to submit potential questions below and we will look into asking them.

They made the right decision, yet I don't think they should have gone onto the field myself. Even before kick off, it was clear it was unplayable and by just starting the game it lead to the uncertainty. Don't get me wrong, if the rain wasn't so heavy I wouldn't be saying this but even without the visible pools - it was certain at the kick that it would be dangerous to play. For me it was a small misjudgement error on their part to start the game.

Do we have Sunderland in this? I know people don't care about the cup but winning games can impact momentum and allow things to gel away from it. It gives us a chance to play some fringe players without breaking the balance of the squad that is winning games in the league. I don't think the attendance will be good but sooner or later something will give.

The game should have been called off before it had even begun, that or delayed without starting. It's a shame because Notts looked up for it and passed it around better, but it was too dangerous to continue playing. The boo's was just frustration for the handling of the game by the officials and the fact fans felt like they had a wasted journey but it only started near to the actual kick off. It just shows how quickly rain can ruin what seemed to be a good contest.

The suspension was just for one game? I thought it would be two games due to the fact it was a double yellow and for discontent towards the match official. If Louis Laing is availible he has to start, I can't imagine many would say Elliot Hewitt should retain his spot. Keep the squad close to what has been selected prior, I am feeling a bit more confident but I do worry that they may take a lead and press us more than we have experienced as of late. Regards, I just want to hear fans getting behind the game and singing for the majority of the match. Who's in? @ohstanleyaborah? @NewarkPie??

Sadly it's just proving his level, great player but was never good enough for the Premier League - he really should have tried to stay with Huddersfield longer. Championship/League One at a push, cult hero in League Two.

2-0, what would we do without Jon Stead? It sounds like Exeter are playing much better this second half, so I hope we can get a third. 180 of our fans have made the trip, so they'll be treated if we can avoid the self destruct button. Can Notts do it? Will they? This winning malarkey isn't like us.

What's with the Eddie hoofball comments? It seems I'm missing something. He can easily play it on the ground but its just a case of he doesn't mess about, unlike some and would probably settle things down - until he couldn't play after a couple of appearances. I would have him there any day of the week. I'm hoping we can get a good result, yet I'm still not confident at all.

Very touching to read this, its also nice as a legacy to preserve the amazing success and dedication he had. R.I.P Jackie Sewell...

Questions: What have you made of Jon Stead so far this season? How much of an impact has Jon Sheridan had on Notts and do you have faith in him? How can Notts improve defensively and what would your midfield line-up be? and more. If you would like to feature, get in touch!

First half Notts performed much better as a unit, yet they looked awkward defending if the ball made it into our own area. Going forward you just wanted them to take their time, I have no idea why we insist on walking the ball into the net or why we take shots when there are players in good areas (who could probably do better). It's almost like each player has a timer and that they are running out of time - so they just rush themselves. And it wasn't like Orient was pressuring us, it was all very odd and I always felt if we removed our own limits we would score. Second half was very entertaining, I went with my youngest daughter and she loved it. I felt we was calmer in the second half, almost like Sheridan had highlighted what was missing from the first half. The first goal was very important, wasn't it well taken? In fact all three goals were superb. The second goal was like I was dreaming, yet I did feel nervous and when we had our penalty appeal turned down - I was even more annoyed when Laing was sent off but I was told it was for dissent - I have heard rumours that it was the wrong player but I swear it was him who knocked the player down (not really a foul in my opinion though). Their goal was well taken but nothing really special, I wanted Notts to get a third and was pleased for Collins because he is highlighting his worth. I was wrong to judge him on his existing record! His finish was very calmly taken, after running with the ball and ignoring shouts - you wondered when he would strike but you always felt he would score.

30 minutes in and Notts are doing much better, but I want to see a bit more in the final third. Orient aren't applying much pressure, yet we are rushing our touches in their box. Collin needs to keep his focus, his kicking and general movement hasn't been giving much confidence. A better team would have tested him by now, but he's communicating with the defence (you don't usually hear much from him). It seems to be helping the defence, which seems to be more settled themselves. Would like to see us being more direct and running at them, first goal could easily win this.

I do like the look of this potential squad, and I do feel its time to start pushing players like Richards but I don't see any ball winners - this is something we do seem to lack. I know people bang on about creativity, though we have that, we don't have a younger Smith who can influence games with his passing or with how he protects the defence by winning the ball back. Come January, I would hope the club look to resolve this and of course sign up a good Centre Back. Stead and Forte should grow as a duo and there's plenty of space for the squad to change in game if needed. We definitely need to press more, if we invite Orient then I think they will break us. If Aborah does play, we need to let him set the tempo and everyone needs to think about supporting whoever stands by their side (or in front). Orient are a side who can turn on their quality when required and I'm actually nervous. Entertain me Notts, entertain me!

He's doing very well, hopefully he can keep it up because he's certainly a driving force for us. Hopefully, it will only be him bamboozling the keeper.

After they scored their second goal I didn't expect us to respond as quickly. I didn't think the game would be over, as both sides seemed very likely to respond by scoring further but it sounded like several players really wanted the points today. Overall a much better performance by the sound of it, Mark Stallard mentioned various things about the defence but a winning formula will help breed a winning way. We just need to focus on giving teams a game at the end of the day. We did this against Cheltenham who sounded like they are a reasonable League Two team.

I wasn't keen on the formation when I head it mentioned by BBC Radio Nottingham. However, I can see and understand what John Sheridan is trying to do. It sounds like a decent game and however much Notts step off the gas, at least we are still performing. Pleased for Jon Stead to get his goal, we need to keep ahead. Get these points! COYP 2-1 Notts

I read a few reports which suggested Forest have been showing interest, now are they falsely reporting? Or confusing us for them? I'll believe it when we sign Messi.

@super_ram Further homework for you - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheltenham_Town_F.C. If we don't get a good result here, then I am concerned that people will start to become frustrated. Notts have to avoid conceding so easily, actually playing to score would resolve some of this but I think we should expect a few more midfield wobbles - either that or we will smash them.

@ohstanleyaborah your not the first to say this. I lost count of how many fans said (even at half time) we needed a battler like Alan Smith on the field. Problem I see, we lacked movement there and having him on the field would give us someone who can win and put the fear of god into them - yet his immobility would only cause further issues. What we needed in my opinion was pace on the flanks, two proper defenders in the right and left back positions and someone who wasn't afraid to run at Accrington.
