It's awesome to see how we have turned around our opening day defeat, hard work from everyone has got us to this point and whilst I encourage everyone to get behind it. I am mindful of what happens if a couple of results don't go our way. Whatever the case, Notts will be up there I believe come the end of the season. I am hoping we can maintain a battle for the league title, however, I will take each game as it comes and reflect as we go. It won't stop me getting excited, singing or encouraging our support. We have had 4 good seasons under the Reedtz brothers, potenially a fifth this campaign if all goes well. Let's just enjoy the ride! COYP!! @Richo Hey, hey... Don't rain on our parade, Cecil.

YOU HAD ME THERE!! @Piethagoram. If I could get my mum's walking sticks, you would get them. It's a good signing for Port Vale, and hopefully, Notts have a CB lined up for January.

Notts has played quite well, we've been very route one at times but at the same time we have attacked via the flanks/middle. Their keeper is keeping them in this, we've had a number of good efforts where he's been outstanding. Otherwise they've been incredibly poor. Also, I critiised Doncaster fans for not singing but these Salford fans are poor.

Considering Salford wanted the game played on Friday, instead of a Saturday. We need to use this to fuel and back our supporters with a good result. I am sure Luke Williams will get the best out of his squad.

The EFL Trophy isn't worth our time. I have always been against the inclusion of Premier League U21s, just because the Premier League threw more money at us lower tier teams isn't a good excuse for me to give a damn about it. I only care about the League and FA Cup. These are the competitions as children most would dream of winning, if a professional football told me they aspired to win the EFL Trophy - I think I would laugh. I say hate away in regard to this, I am sure when the League and FA Cup comes round more seriously.

Blake is on the right path, as are the comments about changing from 'The Lambs' but Notts was never associated with them. It's also nothing to do with 'snobbery attitude' although Notts were very well snobs back then. The truth is, when Notts decided to drop the nickname, it was due to them not wanting to be associated by mistake with the Nottingham gang. Plans were already afoot seasons before, in regard to Notts becoming 'The Magpies'. The reason people label the snobbish comments, is because of the creation of Mr Magpie, aka the Gentleman Magpie. Lambs were associated with Notts because they were used to reduce the size of the grass commonly used for grounds. Also, after The Park was used, Notts played for a time on the Forest before moving to Meadow Lane around 1910 from Trent Bridge. In 1877, Notts wore an orange shirt, which was replaced with a chocolate and blue halve and halve shirt. Around this time, Notts was trying to establish themselves as more of a football club, like many teams who were formed on the back of playing cricket and having something to do during winter. 1890 was the first year Notts went for what we consider to be traditional black and white stripes. Which is where 'The Magpies' was first mentioned and adopted by Notts.

A lot of the CBs given the chance to come in have made mistakes, the past two major tournaments it was Harry Maquire who was the rock for England in defence, and he works well with Jordan Pickford. I am not sure who realistically can come in and do well, I haven't kept tabs on Chris Smalling, but he has in the past disappointed when given the chance. I fully agree with this; both played long beyond their best. Even in John Terry's prime there were times he massively let England down, yet to his defence he was an unsung hero when we had a weak defence throughout the back.

I understand Luke Williams' line-up, but for me, it's on the players to have done better. I watched the highlights and Wolves played similar to how Stoke did against us in the pre-season friendly. We made it very easy at times, even in the extended highlights we seem far behind Wolves in terms of pressure or controlling the game. John Bostock who usually seems a rock, made some unlikely mistakes for such an experienced player.

David Jackson has done some fantastic interviews already. I am expecting this to be written up at some point like his others. I haven't listened to the audio, I can't due to disturbing Ava. Yet, David always does a fantastic job with his interviews and those written ones we had earlier in the pre-season/start of it - they were excellent. Very much in depth.

It's called concluding that 96' minutes is far more than reasonable to award the win. The referee should have just blown the whistle. A reply isn't fair to Buxton, who should be the team being protected considering the game sounds almost a certain win for them.

Their team is woefully lacking stars or any type of power; I also can't imagine Robbie Fowler as a successful manager. The signing of Max Power is just very laughable, I could imagine them signing well known and desirable players, butt this is just weird.

Honestly, I think they could find better options. I think Luke Armstrong is beneath FL standard and only tends to do well in teams where he's seen as an important player. Where there's better quality, he shows for the lack of standard.

Interesting call, I can't comment on him as I wasn't there and that wouldn't make sense or be fair. I do think with regard to Junior Morias we will have to wait to see him feature more, he's played very little and given less chance due to the injuries he's supposedly had. Hopefully, he can get up to pace because he looked promising.

Passing is remarkably poor, no effort made by some of the players to even try to retain it. There are two examples in the highlights where a pass had been made but due to the other playing recieving the ball being sluggish, a Wolves player picked it up with so much more urgancy. I also think Sam Slocombe's positioning for the first goal was very poor, but I must note that the sluggish approach even remained visable with our defending. Very poor from Notts.

I think Notts should be able to perform well against Salford, I think MK Dons are a better team on paper and if we can just pass the ball into space we should create chances. I am sure Salford won't make it easy, but I am hoping an early goal for us would settle the game down. This is my first visit to their ground. I am surprised they haven't put more effort into upgrading at least two of the stands, but I suppose seeing what others have said about them not having many of their own fans comes into it. It'll be interesting to see what those attending for Salford are like, if they're laid back and just there due to the hype or are passionate just as much as we are. I don't know. If they're lacking support, this may play into our hands and with our own support it could really lift Notts. I am hoping we can keep a clean sheet here. @Piethagoram Are you in the seated area?

The only one I can name, and I did hope you hadn't mentioned him, is Michael O'Connor.

Ian Dawes seemed pretty clueless, their statement mentioned that he had them playing some good football. I haven't seen it so far this season, I think he was the wrong man for the position. His experience so far seems quite a lot down to luck. They may want to stick with Nigel Adkins until the end of the season if he is able to turn things around, then give the new manager a fresh start to make the needed changes.

Gabrial is a good guy; from a young age he's been working in media and providing his thoughts on football. I think whilst Rawlinson certainly made a poor call, he wasn't completely to blame and even if he followed the player who had the ball - who's to say he would have made the ground or that he wouldn't be blamed for making that call, had their scorer passed?

Saturday was a nice visit by @super_ram, who joined me to watch the game via the frustrating live stream. At least for the first half, it was really nice to have him over, and I also loosely joined him watching the England game. Afterwards, I walked Super back to his and stayed for a little bit, but I had food on, so I couldn't overstay my welcome. Sunday, I slept for awhile (I can't help it, I felt like I had been shot) and I did stuff on here. I almost wrote I didn't remember, which I didn't until Kate told me.

I really think there's a time and place for Connell, however there are things we can do to limit the aspects of his defending which can be caught out. The inconsistencies in things like this sometimes baffles me, as I remember when Enzio Boldewijn was labelled lazy. People, including some of the former managers, defended him. Whilst some fans took it too far. There's no excuse or reason why Enzio couldn't defend and towards the end of his time I do feel he made significant improvements. My point then was that we defend and attack as a team, where Enzio was just a luxury player that I always did feel we would improve further without him at the club. This doesn't mean I didn't like him or appreciate him as a person. It's similar to how I felt about how we relied heavily on Cal Roberts. Making him our focal point of a threat, made predictable and less creative elsewhere. Yet the point here, I need to make, is that Rawlinson does have a role to play. He's a good player, who has a lot of heart and does prove his worth more than he makes mistakes. It's just that for me his mistakes get picked up on by some of those fans who take to criticising our players too far. It then persuades more and then, before you know, few people see that it's all about how to get the best out of players we have until their contracts end. I personally think we need to be tighter, avoiding 'man marking' and just zonal mark or have some recovery style tactics where capable players look for the gaps which hasn't been picked up. There will be games Rawlinson's height and physical approach will give us strength. Whilst we lack the cover trusted to come in, we need to figure out how he can do what he does, without worrying about his pace. Defend as a team, just like we win as one.

The game will be interesting to see for a few points, but I will openly state as I always do that I hope we focus more on the league. I do want to see a good cup run, but the League and FA Cup have more priority in my eyes. It disappointed me when Notts pulled out of the FA stating that they wanted to focus on the league, yet took this far too seriously. Who will feature in the starting Notts XI How they will perform against Wolves under 21s How good so far unseen players do, such as Will Randall, Junior Morias, Ollie Tipton etc. What the attendance will be like considering a large number of fans still don't care about this cup I fully expect Sam Slocombe to go into the team, along with all the unseen signings fo far. If we don't give Junior Morias a run out here, I really will wonder what the point of signing him is considering we've seen him warm up for two games now, yet not to come on.
