Swindon are unbeaten in their last 4. They drew away at Wimbledon and Bromley. They have beaten Grimsby and Colchester. That's fairly impressive given the mess they were in before Ian Holloway came in. We should be beating Swindon at home. We need to stay within touching distance of 2nd place.
-
I think Walsall won the league today. We should have buried them by half time. We didn't and you kind of knew what was going to happen in the 2nd half.
-
Walsall are the most consistent side in the division. Their results speak for themselves. They don't get the respect they deserve and they are fine with that I think. They keep doing their thing. It has the makings of a classic. The 2 best sides in the division. Home advantage could swing it in our favour. A point would be acceptable.
-
That was a proper game of festive football. Now we turn our attention to Walsall. Can't wait.....
-
Great win. Not just the 3 points but a fantastic performance as well.
-
This came around quickly. I think Christmas speeds up the older you get. Anyway this is one of the toughest away fixtures in the division. The Fake Dons are a blight on football and I hope we crush them. Not very Christmas like but I know Jesus understands ????
-
A badly needed 3 points. The next 2 are away before we face Walsall at home so we needed a win to take momentum into the Fake Dons game. 3 points is a nice Christmas present as well.
-
There isn't a better time to play us and now is about as good a time to play Bradford. Notts are bound to improve. I mean it can't get much worse. I think we'll bounce back tomorrow.
-
Where to start? There's no point in sacking SM. The owners want to play a certain way and that won't change under a new manager. The style of play favoured by the owners is not suitable in League Two unless you bring in players of a League One standard. That won't happen. We were shocking today. Rubbish. Hopefully the improvement starts now.
-
If Brown starts, it will be effectively be 11 vs 10. I think SM knows this so he won't start hopefully. Salford are hit and miss. They are nothing special but are capable of a decent performance. They are the very definition of mid table team. I think we will win this 1-0. A badly needed 3 points for sure.
-
Injuries are killing us which means individual errors need to be kept to a minimum. That didn't happen last night. Walsall are an effective side. I don't like the way some Notts fans dismissed them. They are above us in the table for a reason. You have to earn every point in this division and Walsall fight for 90+ minutes. They have more of a chance of going up than we do.
-
It's probably not the best time to be facing a side like Walsall. Injuries are killing us. I think we'd beat them with a full strength side. I'd happily take a draw right now. The wheel hasn't fallen off the wheelbarrow but it is wobbling. We need to get to January still in contention for promotion, that is going to be difficult.
-
The subs changed the game. We were effectively down to 9 players given Brown was on the pitch at the end. He offers little or nothing. If possible his loan should be terminated immediately. There are far better options out there.
-
I'd rest Jatta for this one. He's key to our promotion hopes. The goals have dried up and we can't afford to lose Jatta.
-
The performance was decent enough. Chances were created but not taken. Newport didn't offer much going forward. A point at home is disappointing.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
A point at Doncaster is a decent result. It could have been three but a draw was a fair result.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Given the injuries, this was a great 3 points. Notts dominated but Harrogate were dogged. They are a difficult side to beat.
-
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.
-
We got away with one there. The heavy pitch didn't suit our style. Poor first half. Better in the 2nd half.
-
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.
