@Chris I included the subs in the players list today because I believed they were game changers today. Just an observation, but sometimes I get the impression that some players aren't comfortable against sides that play a certain way. When Grant & Hall had been struggling & when they were replaced, Norburn seemed to improve. & the team played more cohesively, with a small change in shape. It seemed to me that Norburn showed a lot of vision with that cross field pass to Kouhyar. He has a bigger string to his bow than some imagine.

What a sublime cross field pass from Norburn to Kouhyar, & then Kouhyar's fantastic cross that found Jodi to head the winner. A great move that demonstrates the Notts County way of playing for all to see.

What a goal this was from Ollie Norburn, & it wasn't just the goal, he hardly celebrated & wanted the Notts players to get back to business to win the game. That's the sign of a leader

What a fantastic win for Notts. The win was just a typical Martin Paterson win away. Notts struggled for 70 minutes but the substitutions made all the difference. So who's your Man of the Match for Notts? Here are the players I have chosen for you to choose your favourite. Belshaw, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Norburn, Iorpenda, Jones, Grant, Hall, Dennis, McDonald, Bennetts, Kouhyar, Tangen.

Just look at this table. Notts in fourth place but importantly 8 points ahead of the team in eighth place.

Massive massive win. Whether we deserved it is another matter on the play, but the team stuck at it & some of Martin's subs changed the game today. Other matches have gone in our favour too, and we find ourselves in 4th place tonight.

GOOOOOAAAAAL JONES.Oh my goodness. What a smash and grab raid that was.Final score.Walsall 1 Notts 2

GOOOOOAAAAAL NORBURN79 - GOAL! Jones' corner is cleared out to Norburn, who chests the ball down and rockets it into the top corner from 20 yards!

Update Kouhyar replaces Tsaroulla.

Update Substitutions for Notts.

Back to it. No changes.

(45+1) Goal to Walsall. Walsall 1 Notts 0. We don't look like a promotion side on the first half showing. Behind at break.

Match is underway

In the two early kick offs Grimsby drew 1-1 with Bromley & Salford beat Barnet 2-0. These two results makes it imperative that Notts get a win today. Robertson & Palmer not being on the bench is a concern.

Notts team to face Walsall.Norburn back.

ITS MATCHDAY!!

Notts have certainly shown that they are capable of playing at a high level. Notts just have to play at that high level consistently for the next 12 games starting against Walsall.

Your about on the mark there @theAnticlough As you say 3/10 chance for the autos. This could go up with three wins on the bounce starting with Walsall. We just need to aim for a good playoff place and then see what happens. 24 points out of 36 available is a tough ask. We've earned 22 points from the last 10 games so it's possible, but with the extra pressure of having to perform consistently is another factor to consider with 12 games left.

Is automatic promotion still possible? Notts have 12 games left, they are currently on 61 points. Notts have five home games & seven away games left to play. I think that in the last 12 games Notts need at least another 13 points to achieve a playoff place & at least 24 points to clinch promotion. I think barring a terrible loss in form, Notts can get the 13 points or more with matches to spare, however getting the 24 points for a promotion place is going to be more difficult. I think a playoff place is the most likely. Thoughts?

I was reading an article this morning, Quote, "Approximately 50,000 American soldiers deserted from the US armed forces during World War II, with the vast majority of these desertions occurring in the European Theatre of Operations". "While this number represents a significant issue, particularly during the peak of fighting in 1944 when desertion rates rose above 6 percent, it represented a low percentage of the total US military force" (Source Google)
