sending granny pie all my love, pleased shes back out. i hope she is fine from here on super.

what a silly decision, if it pays off he will act like it was always on the cards but its an extreme risk. managers dont get long to build a team these days, so to drop from a side where hes still enjoying moderate success to take on an average up half national league team it just seems odd.

it always amazes me how easily some of these managers find work in the same league or higher, like john sheridan. some i know have experience and it wont always be their fault but some are just dire.

i dont wish any negatives to them, i feel sorry for their genuine supporters like @Dan. i am sure the down to earth mansfield fans did not wish us to go down, as its better we play each other i would think.

i think it would be better used as a gym for the club, personally.

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,

fair play @Alex, its good to see this commitment from overseas supporters. thanks for helping our club.

QPR 0-0 Blackburn Rovers Sheffield United 3-1 Millwall Gillingham 0-2 Doncaster Rovers Portsmouth 1-2 Ipswich Town Rotherham United 0-1 Wycombe Wanderers joker Harrogate Town 0-2 Tranmere Rovers Oldham Athletic 0-2 Walsall Salford City 0-1 Rochdale

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.

extended now.

Millwall 1-0 Luton Town Nottingham Florist 0-2 Blackpool Cambridge United 1-2 Ipswich Town Fleetwood Town 1-0 Crewe Alexandra Lincoln City 2-2 Charlton Athletic Bradford City 3-1 Bristol Rovers joker Crawley Town 0-1 Sutton United Exeter City 0-0 Newport County

good goals from ruben, the build up play at times is a joy to watch at times.

it happens a lot in football, france, spain, germany, italy have all experienced draughts, england are no different or special. southgate is still doing a good job.

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.

they dont travel in a straight line?

@super_ram shall i ask granny when shes back to confirm this? i hear you like your pubs.

what fruit do you like? my favourite fruit is apples, i have always liked the taste of them. berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries are very nice. i like kiwi and mango too. not so keen on some types of oranges or bananas.

should we extend patterson and brennans loan if possible? brennans loan expires on 27th November. patterson loan expires on 26th October. i think its clear we thought patterson was a short term option but i think slocombe having someone to push him for his place would help, i dont think it makes sense to rely on just slocombe. its obvious the club dont want to recall brooks, so i wonder would sunderland allow patterson to remain if he was to sit behind another experienced keeper without much game time? brennan for me is less important, although a useful player to have. if rawlinson and lacey remains fit, where would brennan fit in? i dont see him getting much game time if we arent expiring injuries at the back.

i dont mind 3 at the back, provided we leave two players back and that they are drilled to focus. other players need to do more than just run back, they should try to cover and get rid. its not always about playing pretty football. if ib continues to play 4 at the back, thats fine. we have a squad that can rotate to get the best out of the form. in goal i would prefer slocombe to start.

yes, i have read and seen some very stupid comments about how dke is to blame for everything during the three defeats. its from people who cant accept that notts will lose and go into a pathetic meltdown.

@Piethagoram thank you.

its nice to see so many supportive messages, i think letting granny pie know shes missed and well thought off will be a nice thing during this time. i hope others come forward, as gp is a big part of the pon family.

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.
