Wow @Dan You'd think that a modern Stadium would have special parking for coaches close to the ground in a bus park.

@Wheelbarrow repair man I understand meeting a top six PL club in the 3rd Round, there will be an element of luck involved, & Notts have to get through two rounds before they can meet a PL club. I think the quicker these players can gel together & the quicker Paterson can identify his best starting eleven is dependant on more game time which the cup competitions can give him as well as the league games.

I may be wrong but I assume the Doctor has been helping the long term injured to recover more quickly from their injuries. If he can do that it will be a positive development for the club. I don't think he can get the players to avoid being kicked off the pitch like Jodi was on Saturday. I think his job may be to manage how the club can improve the way they deal with injuries.

I see your point @Wheelbarrow repair man The thing is, Grimsby are fourth in the league. They've had a big payday. They have been trending top on social media & they have been talked about throughout World Football. I don't hear anything about priorities from their fan base at the moment. They are celebrating a famous victory. They will be remembered for being the first tier four club to beat Man Utd in a Cup match in front of a packed blundell Park. The penalty shootout has had half a million views on U tube already. The way things are with Notts at the moment, a good cup run may be the highlight of the season unless we start getting the results. I think a an extra £200K + coming into the club from a plum FA Cup tie would be welcome.

Tranmere have made a good start to the season & are unbeaten with 2 wins & 2 draws from their 4 matches so far. Tranmere are unbeaten in their last three home games against Notts. Tranmere will be a tough nut to crack on their home soil. They are known for their physicality & Notts have tended to struggle against physical opponents. We don't know whether Jatta will be fit & there is doubt over the fitness of Jodi Jones too. But Notts do have Matt Dennis who is in tremendous form at the moment, so hopefully Notts will be a threat to the Tranmere rearguard. Notts need to start putting some good results together & coming away from Tranmere with a win would build lots of confidence for the team going forward. I would be happy for Notts to avoid defeat & get a creditable draw. A clean sheet would be even better, but I'm sure there will be some goals in this match.

I do wish Stuart & João lots of luck in the new appointments at York City. Stuart as Manager & João as Assistant Manager. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see a few Notts players end up at York now Stuart's been appointmented. It would be a big achievement for Stuart if he could guide York City back to League 2. They almost achieved it last season gaining an incredible 96 points & finishing second to Barnet, but they were defeated by Oldham in the Playoff semi finals.

@piedestrian Things haven't been the same since Jason Turner. Of course, we will never know, but maybe, things could have been entirely different player wise at Notts if he was still around. Maybe some of the players that left would still be here & the communication between club & fans would have been better too.

It was a dramatic night of Cup football on Wednesday evening when Grimsby Town of League 2 humbled arguably the richest club in the World, in a pulsating penalty shootout ending to their EFL Cup tie with Manchester United. The Grimsby players held their nerve to win the shootout 12-11 after Man U had come back from being 2 down to draw 2-2 in normal time. Grimsby had already made a great start to their league 2 campaign by currently standing 4th in League 2 with three wins & two draws from five games played. Their win against mighty Man U will be remembered for ever by the Grimsby supporters & I'm sure it will set the club up well for the rest of the season. The atmosphere around the club will be electric & the confidence will be sky high. Players & supporters will be very happy & fully united. Lots of clubs do not give the cup competitions priority nowadays which is a surprise when you can see what a great result can do for a lower league club. When the FA Cup begins I would like to see Notts give that competition the up most priority because a good cup run can make a massive difference in lots of ways as well as a massive financial reward

We are on a fixed tariff so it won't go up in our household for now. But I suppose we are only delaying the inevitable.

For me I just want the Jatta business sorted out as soon as possible one way or the other. It's already got to the stage that Notts won't even get half his valuation of a year ago if he does leave. I don't blame the club for keeping their silence. Silence sometimes means that developments are going on behind the scenes. I'm sure we will get to know more in the coming days. Maybe in the pre Tranmere press conference.
