Fan of Big Tone

The Reedtz brothers are a class act, everything they do and say proves that. Our beloved club is safe in their hands and I’m so excited for the future.

I’ve also enjoyed being in the NL particular this season obviously, I don’t go to away matches but I’ve enjoyed watching them either on BT Sport (when shown) or streamed live on the NL website, although some of the commentary on the streamed matches was abysmal. Having said I’ve enjoyed our stay it goes without saying that I am overjoyed to be back in the league, can’t wait for the new season. Whoop! Whoop!

It’s great to hear Luke feels bonded to the city, hopefully this means he’ll stick around in the city, mind you it doesn’t stop him replacing Steve Cooper. ???? Oh I wish I hadn’t thought of that now.

I went to the semi final at Meadow Lane with my family, that game was so nerve racking but thoroughly enjoyable. I really wanted to go to Wembley but my son and family were away on holiday so I had no one to go with (Billy no mates) which is a shame because being realistic it’s possibly the last time I’ll get the chance at my age. However I watched on the telly with Mrs. Fan of Big Tone, what a match it was and it was fantastic to see our fans celebrating at the end I was so jealous. The result brought me to tears I was so emotional to see us return to the league. What a master stroke by Luke Williams to bring on young Archie Mair, those penalty saves were tremendous. I can’t wait until next season.

I came out of the event I’d been to and on the way home I switched the radio on just in time to hear the third goal go in so I switched straight back off again. Let’s face it we didn’t really expect to win did we? But if I’m honest some teams of the past would have made a better fist of it, last seasons team would certainly have done better. However it is what it is and it looks like we are going to have a serious battle to avoid relegation I hope Kewell and the players are up for the fight because right now it’s not looking good.

It’s be typical of Notts to go and nick this it depends on the players attitudes, if Barnsley make changes and their players turn up thinking it’s an easy game then if Notts players turn up detetermined to fight for every ball and everything clicks into place we could cause an upset. There are a lot of ifs there but who knows?

Yep another must win, we need to scrap and play ugly if necessary just get a win.

Why can’t we hold on to a lead with 3 minutes to go? Answers on a postcard.

Stead is out of the team injured, that’s a massive blow in my opinion. Dennis replaces him, let’s hope he takes his chance.

I agree, a win, any win will do.

I'm hoping for a win and would agree with @ARLukomski's team selection. We need to start climbing the table because God forbid we are in a relegation battle at the end of the season, I can't stand that.

It sounds like we were unlucky to lose and the performance was much better, let’s hope the Bury game was a bad day at the office and last nights performance will become the norm because as @weymouthPIE says if we play like that we’ll win more than we lose.

Well as I said in the daily chat thread I’ll be listening fearing the worse but hoping for the best. We can only hope the lads have a reaction from Saturday and put in a storming performance, these things do sometimes happen........don’t they? Please? Anybody? We’ll be ok, won’t we? Arrrgghh, the bells, the bells.

I’m ashamed to say I don’t take a lot of interest in the other teams in league 2 with the possible exception of Mansfailed so I don’t really know much about Bury or their players but I’m hoping for a win obviously or I’d settle for a draw. By the way is it pronounced Boory or Berry? And why are they called The Shakers?

It was tough on the lady pies but I believe Hardy did it in the best interests of the club as a whole, which to me is more important than peripheral entity’s.

1-0 what a great win for Notts, so pleased for the 800+ fans who travelled including our own @Chris @Magic magpie And @LozCloughSLO save journey back folks.

1-0 Stead penalty after great work from Boldwijn GET IN

I think Harry will take the chance to have a look at some fringe players and also to give them a game I wouldn’t be surprised to see the whole team changed from Saturday.

0-0 half time, I’m listening on the radio it doesn’t sound like a very exciting game.

I’d forgot all about him, yes a good player on his day.

One change Brisley in for Milsom, sounds an odd choice I’m not sure he’s played there before but Kewell obviously feels he will protect the back four but can he pass the ball? Stead continues up front I’d have thought he’d be rested. Whats everyone’s thoughts?

Nice vlog mate, keep it up.

Forgot to mention the red card, well taking my black and white blinkers off for a moment I can see why the ref gave it, Milsom didn’t go in with any malice but his studs were showing and it was dangerous but what incensed me and a lot of the crowd was that the ref didn’t give the one before when Alessandra (I think it was) went clean through and was brought down and their player escaped with a yellow.

That was a very good Notts performance especially in attack, we looked up for it from the start and we harried Crawley and closed them down really well. All three goals were excellent Stead had a lot of work to do for his but took it brilliantly and Thomas off the bench to score a curling free kick .....fantastic. Every player did their bit but special praise from me for Alessandra, Boldwin and of course captain fantastic Jon Stead. I’ve been feeling rough today and very nearly gave it a miss but I’m so glad I made the effort and the game was so good I forgot how ill I’d been feeling.

It was great to get the first win under our belts, second half much better than the first, Fitzsimmons made an excellent save low down to his left in the second half I was right behind that goal it was excellent and deserved the congratulations he got from his team mates. I think Crawley on Tuesday will be a lot harder.
