No reason why we couldn't go on a run in this competition. I'd like a trip to Wembley.....

Luka Smyth. If he can be a professional footballer, then there's hope for all of us. The fog is of the epic variety. Palmer. Sort your boots out son. Belshaw is our hero. Home tie in round 2 please.

We have momentum. I think we should play our strongest team. Hopefully it's won by half time and we can make a few changes.

That put the Stags back in their box.....

They'll never admit it, but the Stags are happy to have us in the same division again. They look forward to the trip to Nottingham. It's like Christmas for them. Anyway.... It's going to be tough for a number of reasons. A draw would be a fantastic result.

Happy with a point. Every single point is hard earned in this league. Every single point.

Key word. Consistency. Having said that, playing another promotion contender a few days after beating Wednesday will be difficult. Can we get something out of the game? Absolutely.

This is the kind of performance that's needed week in week out.

Would I take a point right now? Absolutely. Wednesday are a strong side. They'll be fighting for promotion this season. They score freely. We can't score. Then again football is unpredictable so maybe........

They say the table doesn't lie. 1 win in 9. 8 goals scored in 9 games. 2nd last. We are in massive trouble and there aren't many signs that things will improve.

If this was at home, I'd be confident of picking up 3 points. I think it's 50/50 at their place. This could be a high scoring game. I'll go 3-2 to Notts.....

A cup run would be most welcome. I'm happy...

We know we aren't going to score many goals so any mistake at the back will most likely be fatal. We are in real trouble.

Oxford are on a decent run. 7 points in their last 3 games. The long break is the X Factor I think. It's like a reset. Notts definitely needed the break. We were running out of ideas.

This week is a squeaky bum time week sports wise. I follow Cobh Ramblers in the LOI and they are fighting for a playoff place. Avoiding defeat against Kerry tomorrow night would go a long way towards securing a playoff place.
