    There are 3 teams that you wouldn't want to face coming off a poor performance in your previous game and as luck would have, Notts are playing one of those sides. Boreham Wood are flying. They score goals. They don't leave in many. The most important thing is that they are consistent. They have lost 2 games all season. It's close between them and Chesterfield, but I think Boreham Wood are the best side in the division. If Notts play like they did against Eastleigh, they will be beaten, but we know they won't because they will take Boreham Wood seriously. They will be 100% focused. That's the difference between Boreham Wood and Notts, Boreham Wood take every opponent seriously, whether it's Dover or Chesterfield. Notts are not doing that and that's why we are 6th and Boreham Wood are 2nd. As the approach will be 100% better than last Saturday, I think it will end in a 1-1 draw.

    Eastleigh seem to keep their best performances for when they play us! Lost ground on top spot as well.
  3. Dripsey3
    It's hard to figure out where Eastleigh are at this point in the season. They finished 9th last season, they are in 15th place at the moment, 8 points off the last playoff place. They played Chesterfield away recently and made it very difficult for them in a 1-0 loss. I think they will make things difficult for Notts but if Notts play as well as they have been recently, I think Notts will leave with 3 points. A hard fought 1-0 win for me.

    Rochdale came to play. It was a proper game of football. Notts were unlucky. It could have gone either way.
  5. Dripsey3
    I think Notts are playing the better football right now. Based on form, I think Notts will go through. It would be nice to have Plymouth or Wednesday at the Lane. Plus it will be on telly.

    We must get out of this league before we become part of the furniture ????
  7. Dripsey3
    Deserved victory against a decent side. Up to 4th.
  8. Dripsey3
    Plymouth fans are angry with you ???? They drew at Wednesday so it's a replay at Home Park. I think Plymouth will win the replay but would prefer Wednesday because they would bring a big crowd to the Lane.

    Great result. It's an extra game that we could do without but there's a good chance of making the 2nd round. I wonder if the replay will be on the telly?
  10. Dripsey3
    Rochdale are unbeaten in 4 in the league so it's a battle between 2 in form sides. Will both teams go with their usual lineups or will there be changes? I think Rochdale will make a few changes to their side but not many after Bolton crushed them in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday. I can see Notts making a few changes. The league is the important thing. A cup run would be nice but we'll save that for the FA Trophy.

    It was important that we didn't lose that game. 3 points is the icing on the cake.

    Ideally a trip to Grimsby would be on a sunny afternoon in August, instead it's a Saturday in October, which is better than a Tuesday night in January. Anyway, I digress. Grimsby are top of the table. They had a bad loss at Wealdstone on Tuesday, but they will be more than happy with their progress up to now. Notts probably should have beaten Bromley on Tuesday but had to settle for a point which wasn't too bad given the other results in the division. Grimsby are 7 points ahead of us, so it really is a 6 pointer. This will be one of our toughest games all season I reckon. I don't think Notts will lose. I'll go for 1-1.
  13. Dripsey3
    Disappointing to draw after leading. Cheek is quality at this level. Would love to see him at Notts. We gained a point on Grimsby so that's a plus. The game against them next Saturday is massive. It's a must not lose game.
  14. Dripsey3
    Notts struggle against physical, gritty sides. Guess what Bromley are? They have won 6 games in a row. They have beaten Torquay and Grimsby during that run. Grimsby have lost just one game all season so that win over Grimsby was impressive. Notts had a fantastic victory over Stockport and will be confident going into the game tonight. It should be exciting if nothing else. I think Notts will win 3-2.
  15. Dripsey3
    That's what you call a statement of intent. Big win over a team that will be challenging for promotion, as will Notts if they keep getting results like this.
  16. Dripsey3
    If the NL had played out as most people expected it to, this would have been a top of the table clash. It isn't in reality. It's a clash between teams in 9th and 10th, Notts are 1point ahead but Stockport have a game in hand. It's a huge game for both clubs, but more so for Notts as we are at home. Stockport are 3 games unbeaten in the league. That includes a win over Wrexham. They are finally finding form after a slow enough start. They don't score too many goals, 9 in 10 games. Notts have scored 20 goals in 11 games. Stockport have only conceded 11 which is impressive. Notts have conceded 15. Games against Stockport are always close affairs. I don't see that changing this weekend. I think it will end 0-0.
  17. Dripsey3
    Job done. Vincent was excellent, looking forward to seeing if he can do it in the league. Mitchell got a couple of goals but the jury is still out.
  18. Dripsey3
    I think IB learned a lot from Saturday's game. He knows he cannot depend on Sam & Mitchell to score the goals we need to sustain a promotion push. I shudder to think what would happen if Wootton picked up an injury. You'd expect Notts to finish the job off at home. They created more than enough chances to win the game last Saturday. 2-0 to Notts I reckon.
  19. Dripsey3
    I think Wootton will be rested. It would be foolish to rest most of the first team IMO. I think Notts will win but wouldn't be surprised if it ended in a draw.
  20. Dripsey3
    Very important 3 points. Stops the rot. Cameron is vital to our chances of going up. There are no other leaders if he isn't fit.

    Yeovil away. At least we are getting it over with early in the season and it's not a mid week fixture. Yeovil are 14th but they have only played 7 games, Notts have played 10. They haven't won in their last 3 games. 1 draw and 2 defeats. They have only scored 1 goal in those 3 games so must be delighted that they are coming up against the Notts defence this weekend! They don't concede too many goals. 7 in 7 games is impressive. Yeovil are a dangerous side because they are unpredictable. They went to Stockport and won 3-0 but then last Saturday they could only manage a 0-0 draw at home against 10 man Maidenhead. This is a matchup of 2 sides who badly need a win to stop the rot. I think it will be a close game. 1-1 draw for me. Notts to take the lead and Yeovil to level it in the last 20 minutes.

    We are missing the players who provide leadership on the pitch. When the chips were down and a bit of pressure was put on, this team folded. 2 games in a row shows it's not a blip. They lack character. They lack backbone. Show us that is not the case starting next Saturday. How they respond will speak volumes as to where this club is going. We now know the answer to can these players do it on a wet Tuesday in Halifax. It's an empathetic No. In capital letters. NO.
  23. Dripsey3
    Halifax are unbeaten in their last 5 games. They haven't conceded a goal in their last 3 games. They have scored just 1 goal in their last 2 games though. They drew 0-0 at Barnet on Saturday. They were the better side but didn't take their chances. I know another side like that........... ???? This is going to be a very difficult game for Notts. Halifax are a decent side and difficult to beat. On form, Halifax will be favourites. It will be an exciting game I reckon. Both sides will create chances, it will come down to who takes them. My prediction is a 1-0 win for Halifax. IB hasn't had enough time to correct the issues from last Saturday. If we get anything out of this game, it will be one of the results of the season so far.
  24. Dripsey3
    The injuries we have had have disrupted us. No denying that. My worry is the lack of physicality in midfield. It's not really something we can address unless we dip into the loan market for a tough tackling midfielder who can win the ball back and be a presence on the pitch. I don't see it improving any time soon and it pains me to say that. Halifax will beat us on Tuesday. Sigh.
  25. Dripsey3
    Woking score 3 goals in 8 minutes and lead 3-1. You can't win the league in October but you can certainly make it almost impossible to win it. Notts are creaking and creaking badly at the moment.
