If they do, lets hope we can give them a proper game and grow in confidence from there?

At least it's the cup, if Notts do get knocked out they can focus on the league. I hope they start to lift because at this rate people will start calling for Kevin Nolan's head.

I feel like I'm having a nightmare. I am not sure which PON member said it but I think a much harder run of fixtures would have been better. The players look capable of doing something special but at the same time the defence looks rubbish under pressure. 3-2 isn't the worst result but it's a negative one.

Fitzsimons Tootle Duffy Hall Kellett Hewitt Enzio Vaughan Thomas Dennis Hemmings This is my squad and lineup, if Thomas struggles through on Jones into his position. Give Kellett a chance to start, see if he can bring something different to the squad.

I still think we need a bit of experience in key areas such as goal and centre midfield. striker, right back, left back, winger can all be young.

I would buy one if they was worth reading in the first place, I hope the club does improve them because I would purchase one.

Why did you join prideofnottingham.co.uk? I don't remember what prompted me to join but I had been reading the site for awhile before I did. What is your main highlight of being a member? I would say I am more a background member, I post and try to join in but I have not been as involved. How much have you seen PoN grow during your time? The site seems to grow all the time, it's just sad to see those quiet days and how various members have seemed to disappear. If the team can get more back I do feel PON would thrive. As a community, what would you say are the three core values to PoN and why? Informative, friendly and open for all.

Focus on Notts Nolan..

Why???

If the players give us something to sing about we should be alright, its just a case of the formation and starting lineup. Fail to win here, we may as well give up.

Bad timing game wise as they wont give us much space to play with and even when we do play well against them, they have that habit of scoring one more than us. We need three points here. A good performance especially. I think a 3-1 loss is likely!

Can we get back to winning ways? I hope so but I think we will end up drawing myself. 1-1 for me.

This has to be a win to keep close to Luton, if we drop any more points we are inviting pressure. I would rather see us go up safely than be forced to do it in the playoffs or lose out completely. Exeter are a nothing team, decent players but they bottle promotion virtually all the time.

He deserves that at least for his part in this season alone.

Poor decision by them I think. I understand why Yates would want to stay with Forest, there is no question of the thoughts on his part but those made higher up seem clueless.

I would prefer Ameobi and Forte on rotation with Stead. Forte needs to play over Alessandra or Smith, they just don't work hard enough up front.

Smart decision, it's win win for all concerned.

Stanley seem to be a more united team these past couple of seasons, I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us 1-0.

Put Hunt in place of Duffy, replace Milsom with Hawkridge and it looks good. Need to save Milsom for the second half when both teams become quiet, I would throw Forte on also and maybe Stead.

I would love it if we could give them a culture shock and beat them!

Great photos @Chris.

Good interview that! I can't help but feel Nolan is playing down the Good links though.

We need to be more ambitious than hoping for the playoffs, the automatics is doable if Notts recruit wisely. Don't get me wrong promotion must be the key, though I don't think we should settle for being standard. Alan Hardy has increased the clubs budget by 10% after signing a non league player we released as a youth. Mansfield fans will be laughing at us right now.

We need a better first team keeper simple as that, it makes sense to let Scott Loach go but I just hope Adam Collin will be exiting also.

I would feel sorry for those that avoided the games last season but decided to support it now, its a stupid competition and it needs scrapping.
