I feel its a good draw and the game was quite entertaining but I just feel disappointed too.

Neal Ardley's changes seemed too defensive minded and this impacted the squad negativity in my opinion, I hope he learns to instruct the players to attack because it became embarrassing at times seeing how deep the players was at times.

Fortunes have to change sooner or later but I doubt it will be this game lads.

Notts doesn't have the mentality to retain a lead and they are not good against decent teams, I hate to say it but Mansfield should win easily. If they don't it will be down to themselves being poor or wasteful.

If Jon Stead plays a full 90 minutes again fans must acknowledge his contributions as of late and show their full support.

He works himself tirelessly and gives 100%.

I do feel Notts will win and I think it will end up like 4-2 or something. Stead to get a brace!

Notts have looked more consistent and good against the weaker side but it's conceding that worries me. They never look like a squad capable of protecting the lead, I feel goals will come but I am unsure if we will be able to dismiss them so easily.

There's got to be hard work on the pitch and that lethal approach to finishing chances.

3-2 Notts win.

It's a tall order to ask but nothing less than 3 points required from the game against Stevenage.

The players must perform for Kewell or he will have to drop the weaker ones.

Knowing how football works Notts will scrape a 1-0 win.

Then a few days after Steve Chettle will be appointed and the honeymoon period will be over.

At 2-1 Notts have set themselves up to lose by playing too deep, expecting Dennis, Enzio and Hemmings to make up the attack.

Talk about inviting another loss.

The squad on paper does look good.

It's the amateur defending that is costing Notts, the Dennis goal should have sealed a draw for Notts but the players was all asleep at the back.
