  1. The performance was decent enough. Chances were created but not taken. Newport didn't offer much going forward. A point at home is disappointing.
  2. Yesterday I was standing in snow, today I'm watching monsoon rain and the wind is howling. Winter in Ireland........ Anyway back on topic. Notts should win. Notts will win I reckon. Newport are no mugs though. They will press high, but I expect Notts will get through their press, create space and take the chances that creates.
  3. A perfect storm today. We met a team in form and Jatta wasn't available. Jatta is key to our promotion hopes. We need another striker in January.
  4. Crewe are unbeaten in the league since September 28th. They drew 1-1 away to Walsall last week which is an impressive result. They play Port Vale after us so 3 really tough games. Notts are made of sterner stuff this season so it's 2 dogged sides going head to head. A point would be more than acceptable.
  5. A point at Doncaster is a decent result. It could have been three but a draw was a fair result.
  6. Doncaster are title contenders but this game is 50/50 I reckon. A win for Notts would be a statement victory. I'd take a point. 3K Notts fans is amazing.
  7. Fair play to Alfreton, they gave as good as they got in the first half. Notts's quality was too much for them in the 2nd half. Another home draw in the 2nd round would be most welcome.
  8. Given the injuries, this was a great 3 points. Notts dominated but Harrogate were dogged. They are a difficult side to beat.
  9. Harrogate is a place I'd like to visit. Anyway back to the football..... Harrogate have scored 11 goals in 15 games. They have conceded 18. This is a game Notts should be winning but I think it will be tighter than expected. Port Vale had to battle hard to beat them last Tuesday, that was at Harrogate though. We have to win these games at home. That's the harsh reality of it. I think we will. 1-0 win.
  10. We got away with one there. The heavy pitch didn't suit our style. Poor first half. Better in the 2nd half.
  11. There probably won't be a better time to play Barrow. They lost to Morecambe at home at the weekend and lost to Accrington the game before. They would have been expecting at least 4 points from those 2 games. Injuries are a worry for Notts. A draw would be an acceptable result. 3 points would be a big boost.
  12. It wasn't pretty but it is 3 points against a promotion rival. Sometimes you have to dig out results and Notts did that today.
  13. Wimbledon should be pushing for promotion this season. They are a well organized side. The kind of side that does well at Meadow Lane. I sound like a broken record but we need to start beating the sides around us. I don't think we'll do that this weekend, an away win is my prediction.....
  14. Happy with a point as it was the least we deserved I reckon. Jatta proves his worth once again. McGoldrick saving the day but made us sweat for a second!
  15. This has the potential to be a cracking game and not just because of the rivalry. Chesterfield's issue is converting draws into wins. They have drawn 5 out of 10. They have scored 17 and conceded 10, but 4 of those have been in their last 2 games. I think this has draw written all over it. Notts cannot afford to lose this game. It's been a strong start to the season, but we have to start winning against the stronger sides.
  16. It's a wide open league this season. All the contenders are dropping points. It is concerning that Notts can't beat the teams around us. 2 defeats at home already.
  17. Darren Moore is one of those managers you want to do well but not tomorrow obviously. Port Vale are a consistent side and that is a big plus in League 2. I expect them to come to ML and play football. That should make for an exciting game tomorrow. Notts need to start winning games against sides that will push for promotion. I think that starts tomorrow. 2-1 to Notts.
  18. That's a game Notts would have lost 3-2 last season. Notts were superb in the first half. Carlisle dominated the 2nd half. Jatta's finish was sublime. A well worked team goal for the 2nd. A good night's work.
  19. I'm travelling over for this game. I'm combining it with a trip to see Carlisle Castle and Cathedral. If anyone here is going, let me know and I'll say hello. Carlisle have won 2 games and lost 6 so far. They are 3rd from bottom. They conceded 2 goals in the last 10 minutes and lost 3-2 at home to Grimsby. I watched a couple of highlights from their home games and they create and give up a fair amount of opportunities. Notts will exploit that so I'd imagine they'll tweak it a bit. I'm expecting goals. It could easily be a 7 goal thriller. 4-3 to Notts I reckon. And a Cumberland Sausage Roll for me. Mmmm.......
  20. We were lucky to escape with a point. The first half was poor. The second half was a bit better. Jodi and Jatta are massive losses. The pleasing part is that the team didn't let their heads drop. That's a good sign.
  21. Morecambe are on a 12 game winless streak in League football. I have watched a few of their highlights and there is no shortage of effort. The draw with Fleetwood was a great result given that they were 2 down and under severe pressure. Notts are unbeaten in the last 6 games against Morecambe. In our last 3 away games, we beat them once and drew twice. No Jodi and Jatta is a blow but we should have enough quality to win this game. A hard fought 2-1 win I reckon. The winner in the last 10 mins.
  22. A win and no injuries. We'll take that. I'd prefer knockout but the powers that be would rather the U21 sides get 3 games.
  23. This is a game we could do without. Play as many squad players as possible and no more injuries.
  24. Gillingham know how to defend and they take their chance when they get it. Losses you can get over but not the loss of key players. Here's hoping for some good news later.
  25. It's very nice of you Chris but I don't need anything.
