yes, i agree with @Joshua. its not so straight forward and despite our league position and squad depth we cannot take anything for granted. i hope we can do whatever is needed to maintain our unbeaten run, yes winning keeps pressure on gillingham, swindon and other teams but we need to go into our next match with our heads high. we need to avoid any set backs, work hard to get the result needed.

i hope for us all in attendance that we can start off brightly and be rewarded with a good result, colchester may up themselves or put their own good display in but we have to have faith in our own strength. it should be a good game and i think the score line will reflect that this is against two good teams. we will have to wait and see if notts can come out better, or if colchester will start to climb the league themselves.

hes been a bit quiet in some games but no doubt a very good team player, if its because hes playing in a role that he has not quite adapted to i dont know but he gives his all when he plays. its nice to see how players think, especially when they have setbacks in their career. sam austin still can go further if he continues to work hard, hes become a vital part of our squad.

its a very sensible approach by our manager, luke williams knows we need to keep our feet on the ground and focus on each game as they come. its easy to become complacent but when you approach things like this, it keeps you working towards the long term goal. i think this season is just as incredible as our last campaign, such great work going on by the club and coaching team. luke williams is the king! ????

i know we said similar with forest green rovers, but colchester are a team in poor form and one that we ideally would win. obviously their position does not paint a full picture but it seems they struggle. it would be disappointing if we dont throw ourselves at them and try to secure a clean sheet, alongside a good performance. i dont see luke williams changing much. our form should help going into the game.

forest green should start improving, he does seem a bit biased and acting like he needs to make excuses. i would not want to listen to him much, luke williams is far more entertaining for good reasons.

i have not known it like it is now, even the one good season in the hardy era was not this good. the fans have really stepped up and notts has embraced the rewards. look at the impact it makes during games, not just to the excitement of attending them. it makes meadow lane bounce and away from home really does feel like we are the loudest. for me the salford game takes some beating in terms of how our support helped on the pitch, it was just an incredible experience.

david mcgoldrick was class throughout the game, he played very well and he did show some pace to keep up with jodi jones. i thought the pass angle would be difficult for jodi to find mcgoldrick but it played through nicely. supposedly he winked to the kop before he scored. that would have been class if true!

tough love i think. we will have games like this and as luke williams says, they were a very good team. the thing is, we need to see the game for what it is. a vital home win that continues our winning streak and undefeated run. that is a very special feat for notts to say that this is our first season back in the football league. we can analyse the footage and try to make improvements, but not all teams will press us like forest green rovers did.

he looked like a player that could do a job in the championship, with potentially going onto the premier league in a few years. he did look a very good player, @Piethagoram.

firstly, i hope the fans who experienced heart attacks are fine. this is something i am being serious about. i was talking to a steward about the flashing lights of the ambulance. he told me 3 supporters had heart attacks. forest green played some good football, if we had defended better at times then it would not have been so difficult or something which people would be criticising to the point where it over looks the result. it should not because we were good, two good teams playing each other and that will lead to games like this at times. we may experience a boring 1-0 win, so nobody can win. notts showed their class in both halfs in attack, we always looked like we could get a good move going and put the ball in the back of the net. i think fgr looked less likely to score, but still played well. i am happy with the game as it was exciting to watch. i really hope the fans are okay, thats the main thing.

that is the flw and that other similar in a nutshell. they dont know our club well enough to maintain a flow of good content, so they pipe out things like this. i lost interest in them seasons ago, due to all the clickbait and articles spreading false rumours. false stories at times too, but they get fans support for no effort at all.

it was great to see notts comeback after fgr managed to get on level terms, they played well but we ideally should have finished the second half a lot more straight forward without the worry of them. i think we did get to then go 4-2, then 4-3. i would rather have these games happen every now and then, without worrying or reading into the goals we conceded because it made the day more memorable.

i think it should be a lively game but i am less nervous than our previous last 3 home games, i hope this does not come back to haunt me but i feel confident that notts can start brightly and finish with a good result.

jodi is an incredibly gifted player, that deserves to represent his nation and its nice to have this kind of player here at notts county. he does thrive when being called up, so hopefully, he can play a big part in tomorrows game against forest green. we need someone like he that can be direct and change the outcome of a game with his ability. hes a great addition to the squad.

this is a great story of adam, is this not what being a notts fan is all about? its great to see that hes involved his daughter, i was never into football into my early teens. so i can imagine its a nice thing they can bond over. you are doing notts proud adam, keep it! ????????

its a interesting read, i did not think so many of the last 20 years or so would feature the most in a list like this.

welcome to the pride of nottingham @Morten Johansen, pon is a very good site. join in when you can.

i am pleased with how the club is giving luther munakandafa the time in cup games, i would like to see him make his league debut. he just needs confidence and people behind him, encouraging him to focus and work hard. he seems a good player, just lacking that needed belief in his own ability. i am thankful that luke williams is sending the right message to the youngsters we have, he just needs to implement a path way for them to come in when we can afford to give them minutes.

i do think the coaching setup notts currently has is the best i have seen, the reedtz brothers seem to understand that spending money in this area will yield results. its something that luke williams clearly appreciates and feels is important. the players also seem to enjoy it, which i can imagine constant running drills could become tiring. its very impressive with how we are physically focused on the players fitness.

i think they will try to be tight and compact, potentially parking the bus at times. its something they have done against good teams, i watched their match against doncaster rovers and the issue in that game was their lack of focus. either side were all that impressive but doncaster did enough on goal to win the game 2-1. it was a very late decider for rovers, so fgr will feel hard done by to lose that game. i always feel teams in poor form will look at a club like notts who are in a healthy position and want to cause an upset. notts should be fine but i think the score line will reflect a difficult game, with plenty of chances but a narrow result in the end. @magpiejue it would be nice if we could get our first 4-0 or 5-0 win of the season, those are always things that give a promotion chasing team a boost.

the performances are coming along nicely, it would be nice to see some of the youngesters make their way into the team even for 15 minutes near the end but we have to do it in a controlled way imo. i think luther just needs confidence and if we can give him some minutes, it should come with time.

@Piethagoram i was standing near to where i can tell your picture was taken, i did not see @Chris but i noticed @ARLukomski a few times. about half way into the game, i wished i could have sat down. it was a nice experience to stand but i am not sure i can do it again on the same day as i work. thought our fans were great, even the chants to the former united players made me laugh.

fantastic win on the road, salford was not much of a threat a few efforts but nothing is amazing. their keeper was the best player for them. dan Crowley was our best player.

good play for mcgoldricks goal. 1-0, second half is underway.
