Match Discussion: Game 12 - The Ravens (A)
Bromley are unbeaten in the league. 6 wins and 5 draws. They are by no means a spectacular side, but they are consistent and that goes a long way in the Conference. Cheek and Hackett-Fairchild are their main threats, but they play as a team and they have a never say die attitude. It's going to be a difficult game but I fancy Notts to go there and win. Yes Bromley are 2nd, but no way do they have a good a side as Notts.

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The U's (A)
A game Notts should get something out of. Sutton aren't great. An uninspiring 1-1 draw I reckon.
-
Match Discussion: Game 8 - The Glovers (A)
3-0 flattered the home side. Notts could easily have scored 2 or 3. That's the positive, chances were created. Notts have a real issue with aerial balls into the box. Whether it's set prices or flick ons, the defending is dreadful. Not good in a league where a lot of goals come from set pieces.

Match Discussion: Game 9 - The Moors (H)
3 words the opposition use to describe Solihull. Big. Powerful. Strong. When that doesn't work, they don't seem to have a plan B. They have lost 3 in a row after a flying start. Their dangermen are Blissett and McCallum. No sign of McCallum last Saturday so he might be injured. Blissett and himself are a handful. Blissett is isolated when McCallum doesn't start. I think they will go 5-4-1 if McCallum is missing. Notts have to have a high tempo. Harass them. If they do, Notts will win. 2-1 to Notts for me.

Match Discussion: Game 8 - The Glovers (A)
Yeovil have lost 3 in a row. On form, you would expect Notts to win. The last time Notts won at Yeovil was 2005. We lost both games to them last season, which was one of the reasons why we got relegated. If I were a betting man, I'd stay well away from this game, it's too difficult to call. If I had to make a prediction, I think it will be a 2-2 draw.

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Magpies (H)
Some 2nd half. Shows what this squad is capable of. It's the weakest Conference in years, Notts need to take advantage of that.
-
Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Magpies (H)
A home game against the second worst side in the division. Nothing less than 3 points is acceptable. I'd take 1-0.
-
Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Fleet (A)
No point dressing it up. Awful result against a poor side. Monday can't come quick enough.
-
Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Fleet (A)
Ebbsfleet are dead last and let's be honest, it's not by accident, it's because they are a poor side. Lost 5 out of 5. -9 goal difference. 4 goals scored in 5 games. 13 goals conceded in 5 games (most in the division). Notts simply have to win this game. Anything less would be shocking. 3-1 to Notts.
-
Match Discussion: Game 5 - Red Dragons (H)
Notts let this one slip away. Poor finishing cost Notts 3 points. Still it's 2 games unbeaten so we'll take that and move on.
-
Match Discussion: Game 5 - Red Dragons (H)
Wrexham are one of the best sides in the division. 7 points from 12 so far. Their away record is not great, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Mark Harris is their danger man. 3 goals in 4 games. Bobby Grant is suspended. At least I think he is. Wrexham were going to appeal his red card, but he didn't play last Tuesday so chances are he won't be playing at ML which is a big boost for Notts. This is a huge game for Notts. It's a chance to send a statement of intent. Wrexham are missing 2 key players so it's a 2-1 home win for me.
-
Match Discussion: Game 4 - Sulphurites (A)
A badly needed win. The big bonus was a clean sheet away from home.
-
Match Discussion: Game 4 - Sulphurites (A)
Harrogate made the playoffs last year. They have 4 points out of 9. Lost 1-0 at Woking on Saturday. Jon Stead made an impact off the bench and was unlucky not to score. They are strong at home. I'll go for a 3-1 home win. Notts are all over the place at the moment. Harrogate are well organized. Stead to score against us.
-
Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Bees (H)
That was sobering. Barnet had a game plan and executed it. Notts looked lost and were making it up as they went along. Do Notts practice defending set pieces? You wouldn't think so based on the games up to now.
-
Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Bees (H)
Barnet are unbeaten. 1 win. 1 draw. They play good football, might suit Notts as they won't sit back. They are very dangerous on the counter so Notts have to keep control of the ball, not give it away with silly passes. I'll go for 1-1.
-
Match Discussion: Game 2 - The Hatters (H)
Meadow Lane should be a fortress. Team should fear coming here. Stockport figured out that there was a point for the taking with half an hour to go and went for it and got it. Notts need a target man big time. Upset the opposition. Drawing at home to Stockport is a bad result. No denying that.
-
Match Discussion: Game 2 - The Hatters (H)
Stockport played 4-5-1 at home to Maidenhead on Saturday. They lost 1-0. Don't be surprised if they play 4-6-0 against Notts! Notts will have to come out and attack, Stockport will sit back and hope to score from set pieces. The first goal will be crucial. I'll go for a hard fought 1-0 home win.
-
Match Discussion: Game 1 - The Spitfires (A)
Disappointing to lose another game to a goal from a set piece. Ben Turner should make a difference there. Notts need to get it down and play. Long balls will be eaten up at this level. Notts need to be more physical. Controlled aggression.
-
Match Discussion: Game 1 - The Spitfires (A)
Eastleigh are a decent side. Ben Williamson in midfield is one to watch out for. They lost their top goalscorer, Paul McCallum, over the Summer. He scored 26 goals in the league last season. Next highest scorer was Williamson with 7 so you can see what a loss McCallum is to them. Eastleigh will start on the front foot and try and blow Notts away. Notts need to stand up to that, I'd worry about the fact that the back 4 won't have played together before. My heart says Notts will win, but my head says home win, Notts will only get better as the season goes on, top 6 is a real possibility. With a bit of luck, Notts could be champions.

Match Discussion: Game 35 - The Boro (A)
Stevenage are the perfect example to show how average this league is. Don't get me wrong, what they have achieved so far is fantastic, but let's not kid ourselves either. Notts are a better side than Stevenage, that I'm certain of, away win for me.
-
Match Discussion: Game 34 - The Pilgrims (A)
Great win. League 2 this season is average at best, makes you realize what Notts could have achieved if AH had been here earlier. Next season.....
-
Match Discussion: Game 34 - The Pilgrims (A)
Plymouth is a tough place to go, even tougher on a Tuesday night. Notts are playing well so they will go there with confidence. Plymouth are a decent side but Notts shouldn't fear them. Hartlepool went there and won. I think it will be a lot tighter than expected. 2-1 to the home side I reckon.
-
Match Discussion: Game 33 - The Glovers (H)
Mixed feelings. A point is better than nothing but Notts should have picked up all 3. At least it keeps the run going which is important heading down to Plymouth tomorrow night.
-
Match Discussion: Game 33 - The Glovers (H)
I can't see any other result other than a home victory. 3-2 to Notts.
-
Match Discussion: Game 32 - The O's (A)
Great result. The only concern is the defence. Having to score at least 2 every game is asking a lot. Mind you it's never boring.....
