Any opportunity that might have existed is now gone since they’ve dismissed their manager. Instead of loaning players, I think they’ll want to sell, which puts us out of the running. They might have a decent centre back in their reserves or U18s, but I believe we need someone with experience.

Let’s avoid conceding unnecessary goals. Losing to Stockport County isn’t a big deal as long as we conduct ourselves well and put up a good fight.

I’m not convinced that Dan Gosling was a good choice. He seemed perfect when Matt Palmer was injured, but he hasn’t quite caught up yet. There’s still time, but I’d prefer someone with more speed, eagerness to move forward, and passing ability. A hard-working player would be ideal.

Shaun Brisley is a fantastic signing for Alfreton Town. He’s a solid defender with a wealth of experience and he’ll bring a lot to the team. He was a decent player for Notts and always gave his all on the pitch. I have no doubt that he’ll do the same for Alfreton and help them achieve their goals. Good luck to Shaun and Alfreton Town!

Jodi Jones' signing is great news for Notts County. He is an awesome player with pace and skill, capable of creating and scoring goals with ease. He was outstanding during his loan spell and is sure to continue to shine with the team.

I don’t think Sam Slocombe should be rested anymore either, he needs to get his match fitness back and the more he plays now, the better he should be when it matters. I do believe that Adam Chicksen needs a rest, as does Ruben Rodrigues. I like Aaron Nemane, I wouldn’t drop him but I would instruct him to at least try to defend.

No doubt he was off his line, the penalty should have been retaken but there’s no guarantee that it would have changed anything in the long run. I don’t think it’s worth dwelling on, but I would hope that we focus more on the playoffs.

I don’t think Langstaff will go anywhere next season, at least not until the later stages. I don’t doubt he will have interest but I feel they will monitor to see how he gets on with another campaign at Notts regardless if promotion is gained.

The same issues as always, Notts are very poor at defending set pieces and crosses.

Notts has to go for all 3 points if the game does proceed, keep morale on a high.

I'm hoping Dennis, Thomas or Booty manages to find the net.
