I don’t usually comment when I vote on these, but I’m sticking my neck out this time. I thought Kelle Roos looked very good, and if this means he’s starting to settle in, it’s a positive sign.

He came across as commanding, with a tall frame and a calm way of handling the ball. That sort of presence can help build confidence in the team around him.

He also made some good saves. Even if the best one didn’t count, it showed he was switched on and determined not to let anything past him.

I hope Notts keep showing signs of getting better. There’s a good team in there, but they need to stop dropping points in games like this. It’s a big test for both sides, especially at this point in the season. Bromley have started well, while Notts are still finding their feet.

That said, Notts are beginning to settle. They’re not quite firing yet, but you can see the pieces starting to come together.

It feels like one of those matches that could go either way. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends 2-2.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham! Enjoy the vibes and discussions.

It was good to see both teams playing so openly, I do feel the conditions impacted the game but I have no questions about the effort put into the game. The quick thinking of Jim O'Brien made all the difference, that cross came from nowhere.

Brilliant win.

A win would be nice, the points are needed but I have this belief that away games where be will the vital points will come from. The pressure to perform well at home seems quite high at the moment.

I think the score will be 1-1.

I don't think Jon Stead is the reason why Notts loses games, if he's 100% fit he has to start. If he isn't, then Neal Ardley can afford to give him further rest by keeping him as an option on the bench.

This is one of the games I felt Notts would do very well in.

A win would come at a good time, breaking up the 2 defeats would be important to fighting relegation.

Good luck with the raffle, I am pleased to see PON doing what it must to continue its operation.

I don't expect a win, although it would be nice. I just want to see the team putting in another steady performance because if that happens results will start to come our way. It's important the players focus and work hard first and foremost.

Notts have looked good under Neal Ardley when keeping the ball down, I think knowing where to attack really helps the club and so far I think this has been improved. The only criticism I would give is the lack on touch line management when things are not working.

Today against Grimsby Town this is very important.

Sort of the weaknesses and grow in strength.

The way Notts tends to play, I would settle for one goal and to lead the game for at least 10 minutes.

I hope the players will want to impress the new manager which could make things more exciting, if 4-5 players lifted their game I would say we stand a very good chance of winning.

I'm going to say a 1-1 draw.

Notts could be poor right now but I think Morcambe will concede, will Notts prevent them scoring two? That's a questions for me.

I am curious as to why Steve Chettle is taking charge and not Paul Hart, where is Paul these days?

If Chettle can get Notts playing well enough to win I don't mind him taking temporary charge but if he does well enough, I would worry he would land the job and then people might end up wanting him out due to his inexperience.

If it worked people would be praising Kewell, I respect the fact he tried something that failed and he's held is hands up. That's only right!

Let's not jump the gun.

I still don't know what to expect, I worry that they will want it more and be determined to bounce back after their recent upset.

They don't seem a bad side, just lacking that quality to make them stand out but on the day either team could win. I imagine this could easily be a draw with how each other have been playing.

2-1 home win is my prediction.

It's important Notts tries to keep the ball down but I think Jon Stead will get a brace.

If Notts can play as they did against Stevenage chances will come, I am more concerned about how many goals the club has shipped and I do wonder how much the defence can improve the actual issue.

Low confidence and poor performances can impact any side.

Notts needs all the players to focus on improvement and just support each other better. I can't see a win I am afraid. Sorry.

I have been to all the home games so far this season and I am scratching my head thinking how have we been so poor? Notts have started well but its as soon as the first goal ends up the back of the net.

There's not enough fight or desire shown.

I want to see a convincing performance by Notts because I know the squad is more than good enough for this division.

Right, the positives... Well that's one of the long trips done. Erm, Enzio can bang them in when he gets the chance. And; that's it.

Maybe I'll switch the England game on, they're good at the minute I bet they're winning... Oh...

It's looking bleak for Notts right now.

I'm hoping for the first win, I don't see Newport as a strong team but they have a few dangerous players known to me.

Notts should focus on working hard.

A chance will come and if they remain tight at the back I can see a victory for the black and white army.

Good game, entertaining and plenty of goals.

I would say if Notts hadn't conceded three in the last game, we wouldn't have to worry but as @upthepies mentioned it will take a knock on the team morale. The defenders will be low on confidence and keepers have the hardest task of lifting themselves.

Good performance but there is concerns.

I am pleased each time Notts got pegged back that they managed to take the lead again, it was a good performance by them and the formation change could have made it hard for Notts to defend. I don't really know, but I do feel it needs to improve.

My comment which seems to have taken offence to one member was posted immediately after they scored, I was very frustrated but I would defend my view point.

I don't feel I deserved to be abused verbally like that and it was more than a little out of hand as @Fan of Big Tone would suggest.

I won't post simple as that.

Apology or no apology I wouldn't accept it.

Make this two because I joined because of my mate.

Take it from experience the comment is nothing more than a childish reaction, ignore it. Don't let a negative comment like that stop either of you from posting.

Notts can play better against bigger clubs, the game will depend on how much of the ball they get.

We can hope for a 1-0 win.

It would be a positive thing to get a win on the road, something that can be taken back to Meadow Lane. It should be a close game.
