@McPie I generally agree with what you say. Problem now for Paterson is that you can bet your bottom Dollar that a lot of teams will study the match & will set up as close as they can to the tactics Salford employed. The Head Coach has to try to counter this & I hope he does, because unfortunately, Maynard didn't succeed in countering the very high press & physicality despite Didzy & Jatta being in the side.

Keanan Bennetts gets my vote, but I did think that Luker did well & scored a good goal. I thought Bedeau did ok & so did Iorpenda. I thought those four were above the rest.

Salford just outplayed Notts in key areas with their tactics. They had a plan & it worked perfectly for them. The first half was really poor from Notts & unfortunately they fell into the trap of presenting Salford with gifts at the back which led to the two goals they scored. Notts played a little better in the second half & scored with a well taken goal by Luker, & Jones hit the bar from a free kick, but unfortunately it still doesn't detract from the fact that Notts were 2nd best on the day. It is plain that we need a striker who can score goals, we need a playmaker who can create chances, & a decent goalkeeper who can command his box, & is a good distributor of the ball. I just hope that we can get those three players in before the transfer window closes.

I am pleased that this game will take place just three days after the dissapointing result against Salford. It gives all the players a chance to redeem themselves & give themselves much needed confidence too. I think that the vast majority of the players that started the match against Salford will figure once again with just a few changes. I don't think the Gaffer will bring in academy & fringe players to get match practice, the way Martin was talking in his post match interview, this match will be treated like a league 2 match. He might persist with Roos in goal but I wouldn't be surprised if he picked Griffiths or Slocombe between the sticks. League 1 Wigan will pose a tough test for Notts no matter what the circumstances, however Notts need to show some character & they need to show us what they are made of. It will be interesting to see if they will play their heart out for the new gaffer. I really hope they do. The performance is much more important than the result, but I do hope a positive result ensues.

Too many new faces in the starting 11. Seven is too many for me. Make's the team so disjointed at the moment. I'd put Slocombe for Roos (until another goalie is bought), McDonald for Aljofree, Hinchy for Norburn & Jones back on the left wing. Grant has his detractors but he'd be in my starting 11, Hall in the attacking Midfield role I'd even consider going to a back four.

Notts have the opportunity to quickly put behind them the dissapointing result on Saturday against Salford City. Head Coach Martin Paterson in his post Salford interview articulated that a strong side will be fielded against Wigan & he is aiming to win the game.

Wow. Is it almost 60 years ago? I remember going to GEM with my parents. The store seemed to go on for ever and ever. It was revolutionary for its time.

Sam Austin scored a nice goal for Southend on Saturday

We haven't heard anything to the contrary, so the current Notts first team squad injury list continues to be as follows. Scott Robertson. Lucas Ness. Mai Traore. Nick Tsaroula. Will Jarvis.

Didzy was voted Man of the Match for Barnsley.

Didzy scores the winning goal in added time for Barnsley.

I'm pleased for Macca that he seems to be turning things around for himself at Millwall. It is still true about him, if he gets the right supply he will score goals. That's three goals for Macca in the last two games. He came on as a substitute today, but if he can keep hitting the back of the net as a super sub it won't belong before he's in the starting eleven. One thing's for sure, he won't be leaving Millwall while he keeps banging the goals in. If he does, his fee will have gone up for a perspective buyer, that is for sure.

Listen to the Gaffer's reaction after the 1-2 defeat by Salford at ML. He pulls no punches.

Macca scored the winning goal for Millwall today.
