4-0 is the worst result, i feel for the support that travelled but people need to remember its a game of confidence.

i dont see a win either and i will take the game as it comes, i hope notts plays well.

yes, good performance and something for the players to build on now @DangerousSausage. ????

i was impressed. the goals against could have been defended better but its a team effort, dan jones did not do very well. how he lost the ball by himself i dont know but the conditions would not have helped. i think his boots was not the best choice as he slipped more than once and i guess this knocked his confidence. overall it was good, stead looked eager and vaughan seemed useful. did anyone notice it was milsom who could not take the ball forward today? he knocked it back quite a few times to ward, turley and fitzsimons. very pleased with the win.

i am just setting off, nervous as hell. i will try to post my half time thoughts today. if anyone is home or able otherwise please do add your thoughts to the build up, during the game and after. can someone post the team news? @DangerousSausage @Super_Danny_Allsopp

its going to be difficult. if the players cant show a good performance beyond 30 minutes and if they cant impress the new manager. well its going to be tranmere that fight for the points, i can see notts sitting back and trying to counter personally. i dont expect a win but a draw would do me. notts needs points though.

games over, mansfield sound like they are all over notts.

when are notts going to learn to defend properly? it sounds like a weak goal to give away, good play from mansfield but it should have been defended.

i hope the notts fans attending are not nervous and sing their hearts out, no matter what happens. what is the point in going and allowing the occasion to become tense? i hope they get rewarded.

notts needs to go in prepared and ready to fight, no mistakes and just tidy football. i dont care if they scrap it out or hoof it at times, they just need to have structure and to play as a team. i am hoping mansfield dont have a field day with us.

he needs to focus game by game but have a monthly projection of how many points he wants, targets can be a good thing but he needs to understand how to take the pressure off himself. i hope he has netflix for house of card episodes. lol

it would be much easier @super_ram because they have to field youngsters against a senior notts squad.

why chettle did not throw the young striker on when we was 1-0 up i dont know. the way we defended was okay but it always looked likely notts would concede one goal. it feels like a loss with how negative he had us setup, he had notts playing worse than jamie fullarton.

will this be ardleys first game? i dont know what to expect, carlisle are a good team and i think they could walk all over notts on the day. it depends which team turns up for both clubs and who takes charge. i have little faith with chettle in charge because he seems quite clueless.

i am disappointed because we led the game for quite some time and lost the focus to defend when the closing minutes would have seen the club grab a deserved win, dont get me wrong i am pleased we did not lose but it feels like we did.

im nervous as hell, i am worried if notts lose today that it will make ardleys job a lot harder. i dont think some will be mindful he needs time more expecting instant results and a loss today would make it seem harder to turn around.

its looking grim, i dont feel confident but something has to change. i hope chettle can ground out a good result and i would be happy with a draw but notts needs a win.

i dont know what to expect from morecambe i think they will be physical and i worry that they will manage to put us off playing to that style of football. its a game on our day we could win but chettle seems to be guessing. can we play two strikers please.

got to put on a positive display now at home, i know its likely that a temporary person will take charge but something needs to be done. we cant just play defensive football in front of our fans, this would annoy me tbh.

suddenly everyone will care because of how notts performed and won. ???? dennis will be spoken about as to why he dont play more often.

not remotely interested, notts could lose 5-0 and i would not be bothered.

think they will hammer us because they are a good side at home and i still dont think we have enough pace to take the pressure off ourselves against a side like barnsley i could be wrong.

think it will be a tougher game, think notts will lose but hope for a better performance away from home.

think notts have treid to do the right thing, some of the players have not worked but i do feel vaughan, dennis and brisley can work if they are given the right instructions. most of the new signings seem good enough on paper, so i think its tactical more than anything. needing to sign addition players now says more about kewell than the players. he seems unable to work or get the best out of some and he still continues to play the majority of the same players.

think notts needs to balance the defending with the attacking play to get anything here, my fear is kewell will set notts up too defensively.
