A difficult clash I expect with the recent form, Grimsby have gotten some good results as of late but have found it hard themselves against the better teams.

I have no interest in it, not at all. They're counting on fans to travel and if anyone is bothered about the deaths involved, along with the tournament being bought by Qatar. Supporters shouldn't travel, I don't see it happening. I wonder if politics will make its way into the tournament, will Qatar be favoured by officials? The excitement as been spoiled and I can imagine England would do well due to some England supporters not being as bothered.

Will they drop off as a result to this? If it happens, it serves them right.

Barnet have been poor, it could be another hammering if pushed. I could easily see it being a comfortable win.

The club will never have such a knowledgable ambassador than Colin, he was one in a million. The voice of many fans for generations and generations. Rest in Pease, Uncle Colin.

I think Dale will want the win more than Notts, they won't want to miss out on that cup tie that might follow and it could make the game a lot more scrapper. I just want Notts to dig deep, work hard and wait to strike. Chances will come but I am mindful of forcing play.

Kyle Hudlin did far more in those minutes he had, than Andy Dallas or Adam Rooney combined. Not the effective switch, but he gave Notts something to think about. Kyle Wootton marking him, then going down due to the collision with Hudlin was a concerning few minutes.

Just like the re-appointment of Greg Abbott, these style hiring are nothing more than wishful thinking.

Good young player, that would only get better with more game time. He was never going to come in and establish himself as a core part of the team, but he did well with the chances he got. I appreciate the performances, so negative remarks about him whatsoever from me.

Very nice work with the wallpapers.

@Joshua If the players don't panic and just enjoy themselves, it will be a good test. I have a feeling Notts will be quite comfortable.

It seems a bit of a risk to me, I don't know how many would take this up or pay. As suggested by @liampie, a gym would be more universal and during certain times it could remain private to the squad, opening up the general public later. Worth looking into tying it in with the Portland Centre and season ticket holders.

The club could explore other means of creating an overseas membership, that would be a good idea I feel. @Alex thank you for your support.

Notts has to build on the clean sheet, there is goals in the squad but keeping the opposition out leads to more confidence going forward IMO. Good result against Yeovil.

Patterson and Slocombe are both fine in my opinion, either can start. With a solid defence and further hard work to protect the keeper, either will thrive. I can see Slocombe mostly starting but it is nice to know we can rest him if needed. When does Patterson's loan deal expire?
