They're in good form, having won their last four games. At the start of the season, I was told by two Halifax supporters that they had a competitive squad, with a not so attractive budget. The departure of a certain someone therefore came as a surprise, but I think as a side they play with a lot of confidence and will prove difficult to break down. Notts needs to be matching their confidence, it's the only way to shake off the nerves properly! If we could unleash some good shots on target from a distance, I think this could cause chaos for their keeper and defence. Notts will either see a master class from Halifax and we'll buckle to the defence, or we'll do ourselves proud and go toe to toe. Ultimately, I see the latter ending in a draw which I would happily take. I'll say 2-2, with Booty and Thomas finding the net for us.

Analysing Notts County's first ten games in the National League
Chris commented on Simon Clark's article in Features
I think at this stage, Neal Ardley needs to be settling down the squad, and avoiding changes which seem to be within the 4-5 amount per game. The squad really does need to be settled, I'm sure most can manage 90 minutes and this is why we have subs. I'd like to see him go for games a bit more, rather than throwing the one defensive player on around the 70th minute but the National League isn't that bad at all. Hopefully, the promise we have in this squad which is clear - can thrive and grow in confidence. I think we are a few good results away from clicking, just need to demand a certain level of the players on a consistent basis. -
I'll be fetching the prints Thursday, so if anyone does want one please let me know. I can adjust the quantity and reflect this on the pre-sale price. A3 prints are £10 (£12 if you want it delivered) A4 prints are £8 (£2 if you want it delivered) After the sale they will return to the regular prices advertised on the Pride of Nottingham store.

I think most would take the point, it sounds like we were unlucky in the second half. Neal Ardley has asked for patience after, however, he needs to start making sure performances are consistent and quit making so many changes before the games. As I say, 1-1 doesn't seem that bad. Most comments have read seem optimistic about the standard of play.
-
1-0 down already. Regan Booty sounds to be doing his best, yet players like Enzio Boldewijn etc are off their best. Kristian Dennis has almost just scored, but it's looking quite embarrassing that we are being outplayed by so much. Mitch Rose needs to step it up, he has the quality to make those around him click. Just frustrating to see us concede so easily.
-
I think it will be a very scrappy encounter, unless Notts ensure they make a strong forward movement. Otherwise, it will just be one of those games where we have to hope the players take whatever changes come, I would be surprised if we hammered them but who knows. Neal Ardley must read the signs in the game and if Sutton panic, go for a win - not to draw. I don't expect anything other than effort, 100% and attempting to win.

I've been told they've got a good team and have recruited well in the summer. They're 7th but lost to Halifax who seem to be doing better after Jamie Fullarton left. I can't really comment on the opposition, I honestly don't know much about how they play - I'm doing research mind. I just hope Notts can bounce back after Yeovil. As I keep saying, anyone who starts well and works hard can beat anyone in this league. There's no clear favourites and with Notts it will take time.

It sounds like a frustrating game, both for the travelling fans and the players. It didn't sound pretty at all. My original opening comment about the type of game I expected. Since I am aware of them, I knew we couldn't write them off - some thinking that due to them losing three games back to back means anything (well it tends not to). From what I heard and can make out, Yeovil moved the ball with some pace. Charlie Slater and Mark Stallard spoke about Notts is looking 'better' or 'brighter' when they played the ball on the ground. It leads me to think Yeovil knew exactly how to break down the game and I think we sound quite clumsy to have conceded two goals in such way. I would chalk this one off, as mentioned before, the game by Mark Stallard, all the signings have been brought in by Neal Ardley and they need time to settle. Disappointed? Yes, but it doesn't take anything away from Yeovil who sound like they did deserve the three points. If Notts could score or take chances, perhaps the pressure would have been self containing but we all know teams in this league can beat each other. I just want stability more than anything right now, that will take time. The players will brush themselves off and go again.
-
I'm looking forward to seeing how Notts does against Yeovil, I was considering going, but I have to man the fort at home. Think Yeovil is a bit of Jekyll and Hyde type of team. They will look to use their pace in areas where they get the ball, yet it wouldn't surprise me if they don't attempt to keep the ball in the air for the most part - they're capable of playing it on the ground but can they compete with us well in this? I don't think so, it's more likely they try to keep the game at a slow pace if allowed.

Notts County stretched their unbeaten run to four matches with a 5-1 victory over Chorley in Bank Holiday Monday's National League fixture at Meadow Lane. The Magpies fell behind in the ninth minute through Lewis Baines' powerful header from Alex Newby's delivery, but Nathan Tyson rifled home his first Notts goal on the half-hour mark to level proceedings. Neal Ardley's side then struck two quick-fire goals after the break as Enzio Boldewijn cut in from the right wing and curled in left-footed after 49 minutes, before Kristian Dennis rattled in an effort from the edge of the area. Wes Thomas replaced Tyson after an hour and within five minutes had also notched his first goal for the Magpies, finishing from close range after Dennis' shot was parried by Billy Crellin, then got his second with a powerful strike after 71 minutes.
