Match Discussion: Game 18 - The Robins (H)
Spineless and gutless. Need we say any more? No creativity in the midfield and definitely no defensive qualities either. They are a complete shambles and if nothing is done to organise this rabble soon it will be “Welcome to the newest National league club in the world”.

Match Discussion: EFL Trophy - Rovers (H)
Same here, totally forgot about the game until I picked up my phone at 9:30 and say that we were 4-2 up. Not interested in the slightest and think I only posted once on Twitter about it. Have no idea on the side except that Boldewijn and Dennis played because they scored.

Is it down to the National I fear? Get in the bin Kewell, you know about as much as Fullerton.

Match Discussion: Game 17 - The Valiants (A)
Is the right answer! For someone allegedly 6ft 3 (I have my doubts) he is unable to command his area and his judgement as to whether to stay or go is farcical at times. As long as he has no one challenging him he won’t be on his game. Big mistake not bringing another keeper in during the summer.

Recruitment, recruitment, recruitment
We recruited badly in the summer, people were looking at Boldewijn, Dennis, Hemmings, Vaughan and were thinking that it would be easy this year (even the Peterborough chairman thought we would be up there), but we released: Collin - Not replaced O'Connor - Not replaced Shola - Not replaced Milsom - OK, he's back, but only just Forte - (goals not replaced) Alan Smith - Not replaced (maybe not on the pitch, but behind the scenes) The top three are the killers, Keeper, Midfield linchpin, and Target Man, pretty much the spine of the side. Without these, we were always going to struggle. There are six, or seven players that need to go in January, but can't see them willing to drop to non league, which is probably the only league that would want them. Looking at the side now, it is a bit damning that the only summer signings in the first XI are Boldewijn and Hemmings. Vaughan looks terrible and not suited to league 2, Dennis & Kellett have never looked fit, Thomas has looked OK in patches and the kids don't count. I don't think we will go down (famous last words), but I cannot currently see us finishing anywhere in the top half now.

Match Discussion: EFL Trophy - Magpies (H)
Doubt we can do that without paying a 5 grand fine. 7.3 Each EFL Club shall play its Full Available Strength in and during all Matches. Full Available Strength means the EFL Club must include at least four Qualifying Players in the ten outfield Players named in the starting eleven on the Team Sheet. Which basically means four of the players that played on Saturday, or four out of the ten that have made most appearances so far.

Neither do I mate, women’s football is really dire and almost comical.

That is because you will see better football on your local park every Saturday.

Match Discussion: Game 39 - The Spireites (A)
We're never going to have a plan B as long as Nolan continues this obsession of substituting a player for one in exactly the same position. The first player didn't work, so what on earth makes him think that another will, doing exactly the same thing is so maddening! Take a chance in games, we could have had a lot more points by being a bit more adventurous at times, especially against lower table opposition.

Former Notts County youth player Jamie Parkes comes third in horse racing debut
Wow, he's maturing. I remember Jamie as a young boy when he and his father ran a disabled youth football side in Rainworth and he was a top lad and always willing to help. I'm glad he's finding a new career. I can also understand why we let him go though as he was tiny, but seem to remember that we did something similar with Darren Huckerby?

Match Discussion: Game 38 - The Stags (H)
It's a Saturday, it's Mansfield, guaranteed loss! Please Notts, for once, just beat them as I am fed up with this. I remember a time when we never lost to them and it was a guaranteed 3 points, now the boot is firmly on the other foot. I'm just hoping that Flitcroft is still clueless as to his best side and we can sneak a goal, but personally think a draw is the best we can hope for as their squad is better than ours.

Match Discussion: Game 29 - The Grecians (H)
We did dominate the second half, but that was after the switch to 4-4-2, before that we were woeful. If we are to stay in the automatics I think we proved that: Shola has to start, Stead can't play up front on his own. He never had any support at all at times. Hewitt isn't a CH and has to be in midfield. Nobody was there to break down Exeter when they had the ball. Play Dicko as the Emergency CH until we sign one. Hunt was pretty shocking and we badly missed Tootle. New signings have to be drip fed into the side and not wholesale changes. Play 4-4-2 and stop trying to over complicate things. We got where we are by doing the basics well. We have to win tomorrow night and we also have to win most of the games up until we play Mansfield as we have a much tougher run in.

Match Discussion: Game 29 - The Grecians (H)
Another key game and a win would set us up brilliantly for a run of games that are all winnable. Will be interesting to see if we go with Virtue, or Noble to start and a new forward on the bench would be nice! 1-1 to Notts!
-
Match Discussion: Game 28 - Red Imps (A)
Now that takes me back! That was a brilliant game, Notts cruising at 3-0, then Lincoln bring on some long haired youth who transformed them and they got the game back to 3-3, just for us to get the next two. Great day, great season.

Match Discussion: Game 28 - Red Imps (A)
Initially, I thought this would be a really hard game as they have been on a good run and also gave us a bit of a runaround for the first half hour earlier in the season. Having just had a look at their results, the only top ten sides they have beat are Swindon, when they couldn't buy a win a home and Accrington the other week. Does this mean that they are in a false position? I think home advantage will count for a lot with their backing and Leigh Curtis tweeted that a new signing is expected before the game for them, so I think a draw would be a good result. I'm just hoping that all this furore over Grant and Yates going back doesn't materialise and we can go about our business uninterrupted for the rest of the season. 1-1 Grant with a 92nd minute equaliser!!

Match Discussion: Game 27 - Red Devils (H)
I take it that this is automated? Otherwise we must have been kicked out of the FA cup this weekend!
-
Match Discussion: Game 25 - The Robins (A)
Swindon were one of the sides I thought would be fighting for a top 3 spot, but they have gone right off the boil recently and have hardly won a game, so should be a good time to play them. Will probably see a change back to the more solid usual line up and try to grind out a result, so will go for a 1- 1 draw to Notts ()
-
Match Discussion: Game 22 - The Mariners (H)
Been looking forward to this one for quite a while, but not sure that now is the right time to be playing them as they have won their last three games (although their last two were against the bottom two sides), so their confidence will be up. We'll probably play the same XI as last week, but I'm not going to put the mockers on them by predicting we'll win, so I'll go with a 2-2- draw!
-
Match Discussion: Game 21 - The Hatters (A)
All depends on which Luton turn up, will it be the one that spanked Stevenage, Cambridge and Yeovil? In which case it will be a long afternoon, or will it be the one beaten convincingly at home by Swindon and Coventry? Personally I think they are starting to gain some consistency and I just can't see us containing their front men, so it will go one of two ways: Score first and it might end up 1-1, but if they score first, be prepared for a long afternoon!

Match Discussion: Game 19 - The Glovers (A)
Need to find a win away from home quite soon, otherwise it might start to become a burden and that will put pressure on the home form, with a harder game than I thought coming up on Saturday as Colchester appear to have found a bit of form recently. Never been a fan of Duffy's, but at least his mistakes are fewer this season. I would still look to replace him in January as there are better players out there who would make us very solid at the back. It also looks as though we will be getting a new striker in January as JF was overlooked again and only brought on because Nolan had no choice.

Match Discussion: EFL - The Imps (A)
If this game is just as important as the Roverz game, I look forward to seeing the team sheet tomorrow night at the full strength squad named. More likely it will be a reserve team again on display. Not that it matters to me as I won't support this trophy anymore (was a bit sketchy beforehand to be honest), it is all but killed off now.

Match Discussion: FA Cup - The Pirates (H)
Send out a full strength side, against them and also parade Craig (extra pound) Ramage on the pitch before kick off! Well overdue a good cup run and would be really nice to see us draw Man Utd away in the third round, although knowing our luck we will win tonight and then go out to Morcambe in the next round after a replay and it will be them playing Man U!
-
Match Discussion: Game 16 - The Exiles (H)
Second half was much better @Chris, first half until the sending off was a bit scrappy and probably even between the two sides. I must admit that before the sending off, I saw nothing special from Newport suggesting that we might lose the game and thought that if we could get a goal, we would have won comfortably.
