  1. There's always some types that will look for excuses but, I doubt it will be many. Those considering going on holiday, where the Coronavirus hasn't been reported might be playing a riskier game than staying out and, sitting this out.
  2. I'd like Notts just to focus on reaching as high as possible, yet I wouldn't add the pressure of chasing the top play. I honestly feel it's something unnecessary and, very unlikely to happen. Right now we need to build a gap to protect our playoff space, so a win would help massively. I expect Barrow to be a lot more relaxed at home. They pushed and forced play a lot at Meadow Lane, I don't expect them to keep that persistent attitude. I think they'll look to counter and stretch Notts at the back, obviously they are aware that the aerial aspect of our game isn't the best. It should be quite open, I feel more confident about getting something from the game.
  3. Full Time: AFC Fylde 1 Notts County 2 Not the most prettiest games for Notts, but a magnificent 3 points. I think we robbed them considering how poorly we played in the first half, yet Jim O'Brien added some grit when he came on. Michael Doyle has been at his best, without his defending we could have be caught 2-1 ourselves. Vital win! How crucial is this win for you? Great battling win in my eyes. Thoughts?
  4. 1-1.... Enzio slotted Notts into the lead and, a bit later they pegged us back to level terms. They've had 2/3 chances already where Charlie Slater felt they should have scored, by his reaction it seemed almost destined to go on but didn't.
  5. If the game goes ahead, I can see them winning and all hell being let loose. I hope I am wrong and, that Notts can defend bravely - whilst we attack them as a solid unit. If you look at the passing we can pull off, it's exciting but it's all about how we work them and what space we can open up. Take what changes come and, I do feel Notts can win. I just have this feeling it will be scrappy, irritating and one of those where the opposition gets the better of us.
  6. Good result, pleased how things went - isn’t it great see how warm both sides have been. It’s not something you see often!
  7. I have to admit, when things like this first happen I do worry and think how best to protect my family. At this stage I can't say I'm scared, I believe the UK is handling it well unlike China or Italy. You just have to be careful and distant from people you first meet.
  8. The Bird Flu incidents had me worried when my children was younger, that came and went. I wouldn't overly worry about it. Italy seems to be the worst in Europe, with France and Spain now seeming to get cases of it. I think it's those with illnesses and low immune system that are at risk. Most should be fine if they don't ignore the symptoms/seek help.
  9. No, not that difficult at all. Some will say that it happens and, it does but it's costing our fans a lot of money. I know there's talk from some to boycott the next time. They should really factor in people who travel, not just ours but their own. I know it's the officials that can it, but it would make more sense just to have it over and done with. Keeping people dangling doesn't help.
  10. It will either be tough, or one of those games where Notts turns on the performance. I'm wishing them well myself @liampie, the better team on the day will win.
  11. Absolute joke that the game has been postponed yet again, It's awful for those who have gone. A lot I know have attempted to make it twice, so I am in agreement with those who feel the club needs to find some ground and make it up to those - as it shouldn't keep happening. Only image I have seen where some water has collected, it looks like it wasn't spread out at all. Our groundsman do well to distribute collected water.
  12. I'm really not one to gloat, but the writing was on the wall. Notts needs to learn how to gain ground and stop being pushed back, it sounded like our tactics were weak and played into their hands. I'm not surprised we didn't win, I do feel the performance could have been better though.
  13. Defensively, we should try to exploit them at the back because they can struggle if pressured. Allow their midfield time on the ball, they'll work hard and create chances. If we write them off, they'll teach Notts a lesson. I highly rate some of their players, they build around young talent and can do well. I remember Notts being 2-0 up, seeing fans say how poor they're and I warned that they can break down teams/fight back. I think it ended up a draw. Wootton will be useful, pace is required and our midfield needs to have a top performance to get something.
  14. I thought he was a good manager, especially during games. He knew how to get a side attacking, perhaps defensively it could have been improved but the brand of football always entertained. I actually don't recall why he was sacked, well the "reason" for it. I always felt Shaun Derry should have remained at Notts, but the memories of Moniz are there. The opening game against Stevenage will always be remembered fondly by me. I left thinking we were on the verge of something special, perhaps if he had more time to influence Notts he might have got us back into League One.
  15. I think everyone will want the game to go ahead, Notts doesn't need a postponement right now. The teams in good form and, has put two good displays together. Woking I think should play through the centre of the park, they've got a few tall players that hold the ball well and we just need to be prepared for that. Hopefully the game goes ahead, Notts should do well.
  16. Notts are progressing nicely so far, it's a cup and winning games helps. I feel the main benefit is to the squad rotation, as it gives them game time. I know we tend to field quite a strong squad, but there has been fringe players included. Beating Yeovil might help the players believe we can push on. I'm not sure about the score prediction as of yet, but I think it could be quite open.
  17. Pride of Nottingham was at Meadow Lane for Notts County's big win against Chesterfield. See if you've made it in our latest Faces of PON! #Notts #FacesofPON #COYP
