I have a good feeling about the game, I think the attendance will be hit with many die hard fans opting to stay at home and watch the game on BT Sports. Nothing wrong with that at all, but if you do stay home please don't use it as an excuse if the club plays poorly/loses/draws. I can't be the only fan who is hoping for a repeat in hammering them?

I am not disappointed, it sounded like a decent performance but I think now highlights that we need to improve in a few crucial areas if we aim to get promoted. Another striker is a must, someone who can finish the chances we create and possibly a winger who can run down the by line taking the opposition on. I like Joel Taylor, but he drifts in and plays deeper. As for the result, yes Notts could've won the match 1-0. I just feel that it gives a base to show where we need to improve away from home.

They did, but when we turned it on they struggled to match us. It's a shame we shut off at the very end, as I think we could've won otherwise.

Some of their fans still hold a resentment towards Notts. Rochdale would never have won it, Steve Cotterill surprised us all by improving the form and pushing to the top place. I am pleased we managed to bring them back to Meadow Lane, I hope we can knock them out on our soil.

I can see this being used by many fans Chris, looks ace. Well done!

Finished to perfection! These wallpapers look ace Chris!!

I dislike Rochdale ever since the season we won the league, their fans whinging about us cheating to win the league. I would love it if we gave a chance to some of the fringe players and, used the in form squad members then smashed them.

If Notts manages to kick the KOP end way in the second half, I think the fans will get behind them and it will help. Home soil should give us the advantage, but Notts aren't in any sort of form right now. I would like to see a good performance, or win ugly.

I missed Roberts off. ????????

Patterson Brindley Brennan Cameron Chicksen Vincent Nemane O'Brien Rodrigues Roberts Mitchell I think we should be fine to allow Wootton to sit this one out, leave him on the bench if we must but priority needs to be on the league fixtures. If Taylor is fit, start him ahead of Chicksen but from what I have read it seems unlikely that he will be able to make the start. Palmer is another player who I would like to see reserved for the league, as we don't want to risk anything happening to him as he's best midfielder at Notts right now.

Lacey, Cameron, Rawlinson and Slocombe are all crucial players, Notts needs them and I will be pleased to see the club go back to full strength. It's good that Burchnall acted fast to bring in the loans, I think these need extending if possible. Just to have that cover if needed, it also allows the occasional rotation.

Seeing out games is something I think the squad will get better at, what with players returning. Provided we keep a strong defence, I think the worries should be over. I am glad Notts managed to get the 2-0 win. By all means it could've been more goals for Notts, but the job was done which is all that matters.

Its as if the players get to a certain minute and think the job is done, so they just switch off defensively. Its poor but it shows that we need players comfortable in the centre back positions, not left or right backs. 2-0, to 3-2 it shouldn't happen as easy as it did. Understandable the out cry of disappointment, but those calling for Ian Burchnall's head need to ask different questions. Once the players step onto the grass, it's down to them to do the basics. All his decisions made sense such as taking Ruben off. Why leave him on only to risk a red card?

He should sell a few shirts with his name on the back, superb signing!

Speaks well, says he's bought into the project. Take us back to the Football League Ian Burchnall.

All promising stuff so far, I think IB needs to slowly reintroduce Roberts but otherwise lets just get fit before the start of the new campaign.

Comments like this is just asking for fans to pester the club into announcing the next signing!

Good signing, I can't wait to see him play!

Good model professional, Jim. Pleased he's signed his life away for two more years as a pie!

Very good signing for this level and the future, he looked a decent player for Torquay United. Let's hope he settles in well wearing the famous black and white stripes!

Notts can run at times well when someone decides to take players on, I wished it would happen more often because even if the player doesn't score like Sam did, it should open up play or intimidate the opposition. Being clever with the ball like this makes games from eventless to somewhat rememberable.

Mate it's a good read to see that you are feeling happier within yourself.

Disappointing but no real surprise, I still think Notts could have won them had the game not be postponed. More time for training now!

I am not sure what to expect, or what team will take to the field. I'm expecting one or two changes due to fitness, it would be nice if Cal Roberts could start. I think we miss him a lot when he doesn't play. If Kyle Wootton misses the game, it would be disappointing. Wes Thomas or Elisha Sam to partner him is fine by me. Not sure about the young striker from Mansfield.

Slocombe Brindley Lacey Rawlinson McCrory Roberts Doyle Enzio Rodrigues Wootton Sam This would be the line up I would like to see, I think Thomas has been brilliant but I would like to see Sam start. Ardley has mentioned he needs to get himself up to fitness, but sitting out games won't do that. I think with the quality the squad has to create chances, he would start to fit in if he started a few games.
