ffs, neal ardley needs to get them upping the performance now, i have no confidence that notts can get back into games especially after conceding so early, very disappointing. please get duffy out of the squad. the defence will be leaky until we can get the back five [wing backs included] settled. sorry but ross needs replacing too, hes not first team ready.

im nervous, i think its a good game for notts to improve the away form but its poor. a good performance could start to change this.

this is brilliant!! there are a nice amount of prizes which can be won. good luck with this @Chris.

just want to see notts win away from home, i think its only been macclesfield in the league and that makes it more depressing.

we all would want duffy gone but he did okay, i do feel pierce bird in the middle with ward and turley both sides would strengthen this back 3 formation. whats happen to ward? him and turley cannot of both got injured at the same time. i think the club might be seeing who they can release without coughing up more money but ward and turley are better than brisley and duffy.

good draw and plenty of chances for notts to take the lead, i feel the game should have been a win but happy with the draw due to the spirited performance.

i might see if i can relocate my season ticket for a few games, i dont like the vibe and i would prefer a change of scenery. this is becoming a big game and at this stage i do not see how we can get any points from it.

awful game. at 1-1 after notts pulled level i felt like the club could have stolen the game but macclesfield deserved it. they played quite well. notts did not even step up.

very big game and probably a good thing its at home, i think if we was not notts would struggle but at meadow lane the players do perform bigger. losing this would be a massive knock and ardley should try to focus on getting the team to control the game.

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.
