    Well that was eventful. Awful defensively, superb going forward. We move on to Tuesday. I bet it will be just as exciting!

    Colchester are unpredictable. They drew with Mansfield at home and we know how good Mansfield are. They beat Gillingham away 3-0. Gillingham have only conceded 8 goals all season. It's definitely a banana skin. Notts have negotiated almost the obstacles put in front of them and I think we'll be OK here. I think Notts will win 2-1.

    Forest Green are on a downward spiral and I think it will end in relegation to the Conference. They have scored 6 goals in 8 games. They have conceded 14. They lost to fellow strugglers Doncaster last Saturday. A trip to Meadow Lane is not something they'll be looking to. It's hard to see anything other than a home victory.

    A well deserved 3 points. The Pies dominated the first half. Salford were looking dangerous before Crowley's goal. The Pies took control after that. The 2 red cards at the end were harsh IMO. The referee didn't have a good game.

    The abuse Harry Maguire gets is a disgrace. He's a human being. Man Utd have treated him badly but he just gets on with it. He never gets the credit he deserves but he's the scapegoat when things go wrong.

    Salford haven't won at home all season. Their manager was interviewed before their home loss to Walsall. He mentioned that they had injuries. He talked about the Pies as well. I got the feeling that Friday might be too soon for those injured players. It's a difficult game. Salford are going to finish in the top 10 IMO. I'd be happy with a point.
  7. Dripsey3
    The Pies deserved at least a draw. The response to going a goal down was fantastic. The Pies deserved all 3 points I reckon but we'll take a point against a decent side.
  8. Dripsey3
    I watched Crewe vs Fake Dons and it was educational. There was so much room down the wings for Crewe and the Fakes did nothing to stem the flow. Their left back was awful. Crewe pressed them around midfield and forced mistakes. The Fakes are a decent side but they don't do well under sustained pressure. It will be a tough game but LW will have seen what I saw. Opportunities will present themselves.

    That was a test and the Pies passed with flying colours. Accrington made it difficult but there was no panic, just sticking to the game plan and making adjustments when needed. Langstaff took his goals well. The first one was superb. The way he worked a shooting opportunity in a tight space shows how good he is.
  10. Dripsey3
    Accrington Stanley have adapted well to life in League 2. They will push for promotion IMO. They are unbeaten in their last 3 games, including a very impressive 2-1 win at Salford in their last game. The Pies are very strong at home so it should be a fascinating game to watch. I don't see The Pies losing. I think it will end in a draw.
  11. Dripsey3
    Drogheda are in a relegation battle and are an average side at best. Conor Keeley is their best defender and has potential. He won't be at Drogheda next season but they will want to keep him for the rest of the season. If he leaves, Drogheda are in big trouble.
  12. Dripsey3
    The Pies never looked like losing this one but that late goal for Tranmere had me worried for a while. Great win.
  13. Dripsey3
    Tranmere haven't had the best of starts. 1 win in 4 games. 19th in the table. They are better than their league position suggests. The Pies are strong at home and looked excellent last weekend. I reckon we'll have hit double figures in points by 5pm on Saturday. Assuming there isn't 25 minutes of added time.....
  14. Dripsey3
    Great win. County are finding their feet in League 2. Disappointing to concede a late goal but the 3 points are all that matter.
  15. Dripsey3
    This has banana skin written all over it. Doncaster were poor in their first two games but found their form in the draw against Mansfield. They did all the things that cause huge problems for Notts in defence. Another goal fest I reckon. Hopefully Notts come out the right side of it. I think there'll be 5 or 6 goals in this game.
  16. Dripsey3
    Let me get the rant out of the way first. You would think Morecambe would have shown a bit more ambition as the home side. They didn't even try to play attacking football. A point on the road is a decent result.
  17. Dripsey3
    Morecambe away on a Tuesday night in August is much better than Morecambe away in November. Morecambe won their opening home game 2-1 against Walsall. They were the better side for nearly all of the game. They were beat 3-0 at Mansfield. They could have taken the lead early but once Mansfield got going, they were unstoppable. Mansfield are a quality side. The Pies looked excellent going forward against Grimsby. The defence was better than it was at Sutton. I doubt this game will end 0-0. 2-2 draw I reckon.
  18. Dripsey3
    A win is a win is a win. County games will not be boring this season. 4 goals scored. 7 conceded. Is there much improvement in the defence? That's the million dollar question.......
  19. Dripsey3
    County aren't going to resolve all the defensive issues in a week but County are a difficult side to beat at ML. This could end up being a right old arm wrestle. Grimsby will make it hard for us. They'll be looking to exploit our weaknesses at set pieces and crosses. 2-2 draw I reckon.
  20. Dripsey3
    That was a comprehensive 2-0 defeat. Lincoln should have scored 5 or 6. The defence is woeful. Either a change in formation or new personnel are required. A half decent defence is required in League 2. County don't have a half decent defence right now. We better hope that changes or it's going to be a long season.
  21. Dripsey3
    Lincoln were thumped 3-0 at Bolton and like us, their fans are expecting a response. Both teams will make changes I reckon. I wonder if LW will change the formation. Lincoln play football which might suit County. Or maybe they'll decide to lump it long and hope to exploit County's glaring weaknesses at the back.
  22. Dripsey3
    A sobering start on our return to League 2. Sutton exposed County at the back. I think LW will have to change formation, we'll be crucified most games if we stick with the current formation. Lots of hard work ahead for LW and the players. David McGoldrick will score 20 plus goals if he stays fit.
  23. Dripsey3
    Sutton finished 14th last season. They lost some of their better players in the off season and they haven't looked good in pre season. They lost to Woking and Aldershot and didn't score a goal in either game. County are in a better place than Sutton. I fancy Notts to win this. 2-0.
  24. Dripsey3
    Trevor Francis scored the winner against Malmo in the 1979 European Cup Final. He was in the team when they retained the trophy in 1980. He's a Forest legend. Chris Bart Williams passed away yesterday as well. Another player who was loved by Forest fans. He won the First Division with Forest in 1998. May Trevor and Chris rest in peace.
  25. Dripsey3
    Chesterfield have the strongest squad on paper. They should win the league but this is Chesterfield, they never do things the easy way ????. I think they'll race into a 10 point lead, have a mini collapse and eventually win the title on the last day of the season!
