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.

Potentially a different tough game at the weekend, It will be interesting to see if Ardley rests anyone. Barnet are a good side, they're on the same amount of points as us and have won and lost their opening games. I can see this one ending up as a draw if I am honest, 2-2 would be my prediction.

Some form of creativity from the centre needs to be injected, if Notts lose tomorrow I won't complain, but if I was Neal Ardley I would drag the whole squad into training however best this may be done and have them work hard towards Saturday. I feel quietly confident that the points can be picked up, its for us to prove ourselves. I would like to see Sam start, some might complain if he starts but we have to mix things off. Let's face it, if he scored the winner, nobody would say anything.

Bye goes my display picture! I thought Tom had great potential. Good luck to them.

I don't know, I am very nervous because its the biggest stage for the club to be playing at. Wembley could inspire the players or make them nervous, I just hope nobody does a Stevie G and slips up, because no matter who it is, some fans will turn on them. On the positive side, most look fired up and motivated. I think it will be a close game, 1-0 maybe.

Its mad to think how casual the UK is handling the Coronavirus, no wonder people didn't take it serious at first. Those now still acting like this won't change their minds until they're forced to stay at home.

It sounds like an incredible season, I know some Notts fans hate Big Sam now but he worked his magic for us. I think its just the way he left and the fact some wanted him to succeed more for the club that gave him his first big chance. Good review @DangerousSausage.

The team does play much better when they're all keen to create good chances, when was the last time Notts produced such quality in their goals? I almost felt sorry for Eastleigh as they looked like a park team at times.

Notts looked class going forward, I though Enzio played quite well. First time for awhile we have looked a threat down both sides and Aldershot put players onto him and Roberts. Once Notts got level, I agree, I felt they would crumble and if we kept at the same tempo more goals would be scored. I thought it was going to end 5-1 at one point.

The advantage should make it somewhat easier, I can't help but feel more of the players need to get on with being fouled. DKE and Roberts just get on with it, but at this level the refs miss an awful lot. I think it will be quite open to be honest.

Zero chance of catching Barrow unless they majorly ***k up. I would rather focus on where we are and get the team focused towards picking whatever points we can, it's important that we end this season off well. If this means missing out on the playoffs, I'm happy provided the players fight. I want to see that attitude against Barrow, that desire to pick up a win. The defeat left a bitter taste and I am hoping we can just put that right. Fair play to Barrow, they deserved it but it was just those antics. That needs to be our team talk, the players need to reward the travelling fans.

It's going to be a long game I feel, I will be listening on the radio but only loosely. Hoping for a 3-1 Notts win.

I have to say the worst thing is seeing people covering their faces, then them coughing or showing signs of flu. It makes you wonder! Then that leads to you worrying. I haven't got much to be concerned about, I think it's more dangerous for people who need extra care as it is. Please keep safe if your immune system struggles.

I feel confident to be honest, Hartlepool do well when there midfield is given time to use the ball. Provided O’Brien and whoever plays alongside him doesn’t get pinned back Notts should do fine.

Notts have done well at home, a repeat of Chesterfield would be good. I am not suggesting Notts will hammer Woking, but the style in which the team controlled Chesterfield could be good to see on Saturday. Whatever happens, this season is starting to hotten up.

9 men win! against 11 dirty, cheating thugs. Highlight for me was Kyle Wootton mugging Carl Dickinson off, if his pass had of gone in it would have been amazing. 2-1 win, we'll take that!

Kristian Dennis to start ahead of Wes Thomas? This time, I would save Dennis for when they become tired or are more likely to switch off. I will be interested to see the team sheet and who fills in for Michael Doyle. We are all pinning our hopes on Jim O'Brien but it might be safer to go with Tom Crawford, at least for the first half.

The better results have tended to come away from home, Notts have been lucky at times at Meadow Lane. Ardley needs to send them out instructed to create chances, the game plan has to be to take the lead quality. If the players defend well, play it calmly and build well I can see a good result coming.

I think one more signing will be made, with Tyson going out but I agree 100% that we should use the players we have at our disposal. Young players shouldn't be judged the same as experienced ones. Why are some quick to defend Enzio but harsh on Ozzy for the odd mistake? I would rather support potential, over inadequate performances. Get everyone fighting to perform well, replace those by giving others a chance. It could be that some are just tired and are in need of rest.

There will be no bluebirds over Meadow Lane on Saturday! Inih Effiong looks to be their main threat. Dover also seems to have a fair bit of height, which every side in this league seems to have.

I am always here if you need to chat mate.

Tom Crawford has a chance to come in and show he can play well, I think some are unrealistic with how they react to certain players who are still learning. Experienced people need time but I think Crawford can prove his worth. Notts has to win the game, losing could be undo the recent work. It's time to believe I feel.

What a win! Wait, I’m not getting carried away! Promotion here we come. ???? Not the best game, good 3 points with some good play. Pleased Osborne got the assist for the first goal. Also, it was good to see the squad kick on after being pegged back.

A bit of consistency needed now @ARLukomski, it shows the squad can do it. The players just need to be fired up and work at creating good chances.

I can't see a win, we look empty of goal at the moment. If Kristian Dennis starts this might change, nothing against Wes Thomas but he looks tired. Kyle Wootton is the biggest outlet for us, but I think it will end up as a draw.
