A home game against the second worst side in the division. Nothing less than 3 points is acceptable. I'd take 1-0.

No point dressing it up. Awful result against a poor side. Monday can't come quick enough.

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.

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.

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.

A badly needed win. The big bonus was a clean sheet away from home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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.

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.

I can't see any other result other than a home victory. 3-2 to Notts.

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.....

Eden Hazard kicked a ball boy and got 3 games. Kelly had been harshly treated. One rule for the big boys....

Last night was Orient's first win in 2017 and what a win it was. They seem to have adopted a more physical approach which is what they needed as they were a soft touch up to now. Their main threat is Gavin Massey. 3 in 2 games. Michael Collins will make his presence known in midfield. In all honesty, I expect Orient to try and boot Notts off the pitch, it won't be pretty I reckon. We need to start picking up points on the road. I'd take a draw if it were offered right now.

That was the equivalent of a husband arriving home late on Valentines, but saving the day with a dozen red roses and a box of Belgian chocolates. Massive point given the circumstances.

Exeter were thumped 3-0 in their local derby at Plymouth which was a surprise as they hadn't been beaten since November. Their away form is excellent so coming to ML will hold no fears for them. They won 4-1 at ML back in March. Notts did win 2-0 at Exeter in September which is one of the highlights of the season so far. I can't call it so I'll sit on the fence and go for a 1-1 draw.

Notts will win. I'm not basing that on anything solid, just a gut feeling. Should be a bumper crowd. 2-1. Ameobi with both goals.

Very important win for a number of reasons. Still in relegation trouble of course so plenty of work to do. Need to back this win up next week.
