Back at the top, get in there Notts! ????????

It does disrupt things for fans who travel a greater distance to attend matches, or for those who may have work commitments later in the day. Nevertheless, we simply endure it, but it would be preferable if BT Sport made an effort to minimise the impact on kickoff times.

Luke Williams has cautioned that the team they will face is not the same as the one they encountered earlier, and Friday's game will verify if this is true. Other teams can attempt to imitate Notts County's tactics, but it remains to be seen how effectively they can execute them. Personally, I don't believe that they are an outstanding team. However, playing at Meadow Lane may work to our advantage due to our supporters' backing and the momentum that comes with performing in front of the Pavis, Kop, and Family stands. It may not be as high-scoring as before, but I anticipate seeing Notts County do well, whilst they struggle to prevent us from scoring three goals. I'm hoping that Langstaff, in particular, will score a brace, adding to his already impressive tally. Additionally, the team's ability to reproduce their previous performances in light of the opposition's changes will be intriguing to observe. It is necessary to note that every game is distinct, and teams must consistently perform at their best to succeed. Nonetheless, with the home advantage, our team has the potential to dominate Friday's match.

While there may have been some debate around whether or not Langstaff's 40th goal was legitimate, at the end of the day it still goes down in the record books. I'm really happy for him that he managed to hit such a milestone, and there's still plenty of time left in the season for him to add to it. Of course, I know that some of the older fans might not be too thrilled about the idea of us sticking around in the lower leagues long enough for Langstaff to beat Bradd's record, but personally I think it could be a great achievement for the club. It sounded like Notts were playing pretty well up until that clumsy penalty. Fortunately, Mair did an excellent job of saving it, which I'm really pleased about. He's shown that he's more than capable of covering for us, and now that we've seen him in action a bit more, I don't think there are any lingering doubts about his ability. And of course, Ruben always looks cool as a cucumber when he steps up to take a penalty. All in all, it was a very impressive away win for us.

I must admit, I am feeling quite nervous again, especially as it's a Tuesday night game and with Wrexham have also won at home on Saturday. We simply can't afford to draw or lose, as this would definitely end our hopes of winning the title, and although I think it's unlikely at this point, I don't want to accept that in my heart. I also dread seeing the fallout from those who can't acknowledge how successful we have been this season. Of course, a win would be fantastic, as it would bypass any negativity, but I fear that it may not happen.

I was feeling optimistic about the game before it started, but I am not a fan of cheap ticket days because it brings in people who are clueless or rude. Unfortunately, I was seated near a group of teenagers who were a few years younger than me, and they were extremely unpleasant. I wouldn't usually comment on this, but I couldn't move away from them. Despite that, Notts County started the game with a lot of purpose, and it didn't seem like there were two teams on the pitch. Scunthorpe had a handful of players who turned up, but most of them didn't seem bothered at all. The first goal was well deserved and came from some lovely passing, with Rodrigues making room and his run forward paid off. In recent months, Nemane has become more involved in the squad, and he works well with Rodrigues. O'Brien played his role superbly, going forward while also fulfilling his defensive duties to keep everyone calm. The second goal came from the relentless pressure Notts put on Scunthorpe, making it hard for them to respond. Scunthorpe came across as quite physical and reckless at times, grabbing Rawlinson's shirt and lashing out. The high foot was so late that, in my opinion, it deserved a red card. The game was wrapped up in the first 45 minutes, with the second half delivering two good goals and some funny moments. First, their captain sulked off the pitch and he spent the rest of the game throwing his toys out of the pram. Did they miss his presence? Not one bit. Secondly, their fans who started leaving once the third goal went in, and even more when the fourth was scored. I have to say, their keeper had some awful kicking techniques, and he didn't make a single good ball for them. That leaves me to praise Mair, who I was nervous about when he came on, but credit to him, he had little to do and little to go wrong with. I have faith in him and Luke Williams.

Young fans will have a good day, but people who like quieter games without Forest fans or those who don't know about Notts might not enjoy it as much.

Luke Williams is facing some serious challenges, with injuries, international duty, and possibly even Langstaff's recent injury. Maybe withdrawing Langstaff from the England C squad was the right move to protect him and our team, but why take any unnecessary risks? Ruben will need to elevate his game and keep up his recent impressive form. Our success hinges on it. We can't afford to lose to Scunthorpe, especially with all the tickets already sold. We owe it to our fans and ourselves to give it our all and come out on top!

I was really worried when Dorking scored first, but once again, our team showed their true character. However, I have to admit that I was a bit uneasy when I saw that we only had four players on the bench. That's including a goalkeeper and only three midfielders. It wasn't ideal, especially if things didn't go as planned. To be honest, having a limited number of substitutes could cause a few problems for the team, particularly if there was an injury or players were feeling fatigued. It's crucial to have a variety of options to choose from, especially during the latter part of the game. Despite the circumstances, our team put on a fantastic performance, and I was genuinely inspired by their resilience. Looking forward, I'm hoping that we'll have some of our players back in action for tomorrow's match. It would definitely help to have a more extensive selection of players to choose from, especially when making crucial substitutions. It's important to be prepared for any challenges that may arise during the game, and having a full complement of players will undoubtedly increase our chances of winning.

Eastleigh is presently positioned 5th in the league, and they are a formidable National League team capable of causing trouble for any opponent if given the opportunity. They managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Oldham and suffered a 1-0 defeat against Yeovil. They appear to perform better when playing on their home turf. I think for Notts to achieve success, we require sparks from Ruben Rodrigues in midfield, and I believe that Matt Palmer can build on his Saturday's performance on Tuesday night, they find us more challenging. Also, I think Evans deserves a chance to start.

It is commendable to possess a player such as him who is willing to step up when required, particularly considering that he is unlikely to be a consistent member of the starting lineup due to the superior performances of those ahead of him. He exhibits skill on the field and has delivered strong performances for our team throughout this season.

I won't take credit away from Bromley; they did far better in the first half. Notts just took longer to get into the match, but by the second half, we had chances. I don't think it's really fair to blame the pitch outright. The game could have been ours if we had taken some of the chances we created. The biggest plus for me is Tiernan Brooks, who looked ready to play. He had a shaky first 25 minutes, but was solid after that.

My confidence in Notts achieving a decisive triumph over Bromley is absolutely unwavering. I have an unshakeable belief that our players are fired up and determined to redeem themselves after the previous defeat to Dagenham, and demonstrate to the entire league, not just us fans that they have what it takes to compete with the best of them. Yes, there may be a few adjustments made to account for fitness concerns, but I have no doubt that Luke Williams and the team will have thoroughly studied Bromley and developed a winning strategy. In fact, I'm so certain that we'll emerge victorious that I'm already envisioning the final score: 3-1 in our favour. Let's go, Notts!

The officials conducted a game with many poor decisions and missed fouls, making for a shocking display despite the good performance by Notts. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining match with two teams playing to win. While Dagenham & Redbridge initially sat back, their counterattacks posed a significant threat. The result could have been in our favour if we had stopped insisting on walking the ball into the net and had not given the ball away so easily. Notts' two key mistakes resulted in the opposition's two goals, but I am proud of our undefeated streak. I hope to see a swift return to our winning ways and shake off the fatigue that Luke Williams mentioned.

It's crucial that we use it as a source of motivation to go on another unbeaten streak and secure a victory against Wrexham on their home ground. Despite feeling hard done by some of the decisions made during the game, it's important to remember that such challenges are commonplace in this division. As a team, we need to stay focused and determined, using our disappointment as fuel to improve our performance and achieve our goals.

All of the things Luke Williams mentions is just a glowing report of how better Notts County are now, the fact he understands why the brothers may say no but both parties know its what is best for the club. Not egos, bank accounts, to spite fans or any of that nonsense. Long may it continue!

There has been a lot of talk about player performances but for me Connell Rawlinson and Sam Austin deserve huge praise, both have done well when played. Austin has been a perfect signing and Rawlinson has reclaimed his composure. On his day, he's a very good defender who puts his body on the line without thought. The performance being topped off with 4 goals, is only outshined by the clean sheet. I don't think Sam Slocombe was all that troubled but clean sheets are to clean sheets.

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.
