i bet they feel silly for postponing the game because of their injuries/suspensions and manager being side lined. it was never to do with the pitch in my opinion. if they have frost covers they did a lousy job of protecting it. it just makes this victory all that more sweeter. the players did well, i liked seeing them acknowledge the fans when we scored or needed their vocal support more. 12th man!

i would hate to feel the pressure leading into the game. it should be on chesterfield as they could be doing better themselves at times. its just with them being at home and our current form, i fear they might be the team to break it. i know fans will say this is a must win game but i would take the draw. i am hoping notts just works hard at creating chances.

i am not sure we need another midfielder, i think we could have signed another strong cb to help tighten the defence up.

i see another draw, because i think gateshead will want to take the game to us and with them being at home that should help. they have draw their opening games, so i dont think we should write them off, plus they lost their two main strikers and got good fees allegedly off us. that might want them to show that they can make the step up against one of the leagues better teams. if i was gateshead, i would push for corners and set pieces as we look no better than previous seasons. on the positive side we do attack quite well and that could lead to notts controlling the game.

frustrating to lose the 2 additional points like that, but notts played well. both goals really should have been defended better, we are our own worst enemies when it comes to dealing with set pieces or pressure. i am happy with the point but do think defensively we need to be better, hope it comes with more games.

@Fozzy frank vincent can be a huge difference when he starts, but we need to play that quick flowing football which he thrives on.

better with the point and clean sheet than nothing at all, need to work at these types of games tho. we could be back with a bigger gap if we are not careful.

@menzinho o brien tends to be a game changer for us, he always comes on fired up and gets the players passing the ball around in different ways. i think he makes more of an impact coming on from off the bench. he played very well against dagenham! i thought we could have had several goals, joel taylor missed plating up kyle wootton. terrible decision to go it alone but it did not matter really, but the win did gives us something once again to build on. defensively, i was not impressed with the opposition and i wished we caused them a bit more trouble.

i feel confident notts will win but i dont think it will be easy by any means, notts will probably play well but struggle to score at first.

saturday should be a better result, take the draw but try to go on a winning streak. the past two games could really have been better.

he was right by rawlinson a lot of the time, it looked like a 451 formation with taylor drifting into the middle. in the first 30 mins, chicksen was terrible. his header gave them the opportunity to score their second goal.

disappointed by the ways rochdale scored but its football, i thought we gave a good account of ourselves and as others keep saying its time to get out of this league.

eastleigh always give us a game and they tend to come out on top, i think they have won us twice in recent years at their ground? i know we lost the opening game against them. i think they also beat us last season. something for the current form to be wary of.

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.
