i had someone on twitter mention that they liked how the ref allowed things to go which is fair enough, but at times there was clear fouls on notts players and he would not give them. it came across as very biased in the first half, i dont recall how many fouls they got but it does not take away from clear fouls not being rewarded. it was almost like he would not give notts any decisions, especially on kyle wootton who was heavily manhandled at times. i would not say he cost notts the game, the defending did that and chicksen being awful. but i do think he was poor giving advantages to the away team when at times words should have been had at the minimum. i think rochdale played well, so good luck to them but both their goals come across as things we should do better with.

i think if notts can score early or even get the first goal, they will be able to retain the lead but i have the feeling it will go to penalties instead. rochdale looked a decent team from what i have seen, they play as one and we need to be careful not to treat them like we have already won. i do think morale is high for us right now but if rochdale scores first, then i think it will be a draw and pens to decide.

i will be getting in as soon as the doors to meadow lane open up, i really hope we can break the national league home attendance record. it should bring a good crowd that would make the match day that even more special, for the players to see the response and support, i am sure they will do their part. just mindful if we have any setbacks, keep encouraging them because the fans will be the 12th man. i am going for 4-0 notts win as my prediction. wotton x2, ruben and francis.

i love the pride of nottingham prints, i have so many now on my wall and it lightens my bedroom up. i do need to get a couple of the tshirts. the grealish one is ace! as is the lee hughes one. ????

need to focus on the rochdale game first, but it would be nice to have a good cup run and eventually tie a top team.

i think notts will put on a good display but even if this happens and the result is not what we expect. i will be content with it,

the positives are that notts did not lose or concede but its games that should be ended at the first opportunity. if we had got into the next round and found rochdale tough, fair enough but tamworth is a team i feel notts should be winning.

i think it will be a clean win for notts, my prediction would be 2-0. goals coming from roberts and lacey.

pleased we have cover, also glad i asked here about the loan deals as it seems some did not think sunderland would allow him to stay.

i have a good feeling about the game, as it should be a nice away day for fans and i think the spirit of the fa cup will give notts some excitement. i mean, if notts was at home i think tamworth would be treating it like their cup final already. it sounds like we will be making a few changes though, which might inject some life and fight i think.

good win, hope notts can use it to build on. i dont think we can expect to be higher, we have to earn that with good results. i do think it shows how important kyle cameron is to the notts county defence, obviously its not all down to him. yeovil sounded poor, but its something to push on from.

i am pleased, not just for the win but ian burchnall who came under unfair fire imo. the football has largely been better and i can only see it improving over time, kyle camerons return to action looks to have settled things down. playing in the opponents half and winning the ball back quickly will always help, it was a good result against yeovil.

notts needs to have a stronger mindset and better focus, we cant allow these types of things to constantly turn games. its just poor control of the dying moments of games.

i think notts will bounce back but i think it will be after this, i can see yeovil leading and notts pulling it back. a better performance and good game but not quite the win we need.

halifax are where ideally i would like notts to be, its going to be a big game because a point pushes notts back a bit more. a defeat will see us fall and only a win would really help the situation we are in right now. by situation, i mean having lost 2 games in a row. i think if everyone works hard enough, notts should be fine.

i fear playing chicksen and brindley as cbs against woking, they drift out wide and forget to cover at key stages in the game. i do feel more confident about playing at home, i think that does help and if the fans make the atmosphere good, it should lift the game. i agree that o brien deserves a start, but i cant see ruben being rested.

i think we are only seeing the start of something special, once we hit or true potential, i think the form will only build. turning some of these away games into wins would help massively, but i am impressed so far. starting a season off well, its something we have needed for awhile really. kyle wootton could hit 20+ goals by himself if he continues, he might even get his first hattrick. to say some was worried and panicked about where the goals would come from, i think we have proved already we have goals. its cutting out the ones we concede that will eventually stop.

i thought it was a good win but the performance was testing at times, notts just lacked that spark or cutting edge that we have seen. yet the clean sheet for me is a big bonus. with camerons injury i think it shows we can be tighter at the back.

why do i feel like this has a draw all over it? there is nothing wrong with drawing away from home, as i do think the majority of our points will come from making meadow lane a fortress. i just think its a good chance to improve our away form, but i can see it ending 1-1. think some of the players need a rest, like roberts.

i like that hes 21, not too young but at the right age where he can come here and do a job for us. he will be wanting to play and gain experience, so i think its a great move by notts.

i am wanting to see notts retain a clean sheet, even if its just in the first 45 minutes. this will breathe confidence in the back and take some of the stress of the creativity, the players should be able to express themselves a little more.

i hope we hammer weymouth, they are a poor team that are there for us to defeat if we play well enough. they started off ok, but their last two games have shown that they are a poor team. i think they will struggle, so i hope chances come and our lads work them into making mistakes which will provide us with goals.

these are the types of games that notts cant afford to lose or draw against, if we are going to build any momentum to carry us forward a win is a must. i think ib is right that aldershot will be wanting to improve. hes got a respectful approach to the opposition but i think if we cause them headaches goals will come.

its a good point, i dont think the blame falls solely on slocombe but the defence too. i know hes a good keeper and things will improve, not sure if people are obsessed with brooks or just pointing the finger but nobody can single him out. notts played a completive game and gave a good account of themselves.

will they want to make us pay for signing several of their players? its already a bit of a grudge match for both teams. i can see a desperate draw at 2-2, torquay scoring late on from a set piece.
