brill pictures @Chris. i wont be the only fan who looks forward to seeing your faces of pon, so many happy fans. it shows just how good things are at notts right now. long may reedtz era be this successful.

no football panel or live game should ever use him to analyse things, as if he cant do his former job right as a referee. how biased could he be on refereeing segments. i dont think someone who breaks what his role is to support a friend or even someone he works with, it just goes against why hes doing the job in the first place.

did he paint it as the match was ending? it seems a bit of a weird thing for the club to permit. the art is fantastic, really nice but i have seen similar things to this in the past where people just use a photo for the reference and dont actually consume much space. i can see him sitting there right near the end paining on a canvas in the potential way of other fans view. but as i say its a nice bit of art.

out of everyone who had a chance to score, you would never have guessed that connell rawlinson would be the person to pop up and win the game for notts. he has been very good this season, not without problems but he has come back from each of those earlier challenges he faced. continuing to show why hes an important part of this notts squad.

it was a very good team performance, when the crowd are really behind a game its hard not to join in with the chants. i thought everything that notts did on the pitch was just incredible, all the players performed well. even when going down to 10 men we still looked like we could score, but did have a few concerns from tranmere but that made the win just a lot sweeter.

@menzinho i fully agree with you. the chances that could have gone in was not missed or through a lack of effort, it was quite unlucky. in the second half when the ball bounced around the inside of the goal, probably not fully crossing the line but how that was not put into the back of the net, i dont know. it seems we had some strange forces going on that prevented notts from going for in the lead. its probably that notts effect we all dread. the thing that keeps things stressfu.

the team spirit was amazing today, it felt like such a big win and to see it out with 10 men it makes it all the more enjoyable. i thought tranmere were poor, okay going forward but there for the taking defensively. credit to them for their excellent goal, their fans made some noise. i am sure they will start picking up points. i am just delighted with how we played, so many positives.

1-0, notts has started well. a few good chances already. the score could easily be 2-0 by now and its only 17 minutes in. langstaff almost on target, tranmere look poor at the back.

i am very excited about the game today, i think if notts can start of brightly they can keep tranmere rovers at bay. it should be a good game regardless, so hopefully aidan stone can play a big role in todays outcome.

i have watched all of tranmere rovers games so far, they seem to fall a part when their defence is pressured. i hope we can maintain the ball, as it would benefit us when trying to control the game. i know they have a lot of strengths, but i think we should be able to cause them far more problems. we just need to remain alert at the back, its going to be a very important game, so hopefully we can prove ourselves against them by winning the game.

i think richard brindley does well in the centre of the 3, he looks very comfortable. i do still like him on the right, but i think as a back three hes best in the middle. if we ever needed cover, i would be interested to see how he does on the right wing. when we played with a right back, i always preferred brindley.

i remember the discussion from the poncast when kevin nolan was in charge and the football was not pretty, but we got wins. fans mentioned that winning was all that matters, now that we are playing some good football and winning, if it does not meet those standard even after a victory its labelled 'boring'. at the end of the day, for me its about where we are going, are we improving and is our league position reflecting the ambition of the club? luke williams is doing an incredible job, i have never known notts to be like this and the fans who sing relentlessly at games are making a huge differece.

i love how the langstaff story is snuck in, there is quite a bit of news here to digest. i am not surprised that afc wimbledon have sold out their allocation. i hope some of those youtubers dont get hold of geninue fans tickets, because that can be annoying when they all rock up at a fixture where they dont care about the outcome and just go for the views. also, i feel sorry for morecambe and their situation.

notts are in a good position with being at home, meadow lane has been rocking so far and an early start to the game could yield its rewards. i know its often said but an early goal would make all the difference. it would settle us down quite nicely, i just want us to make sure we put in a strong performance and creative enough to mix the play. tranmere look like they struggle with teams are not reliant on one style of play. our possession play could be the main difference, especially if we use it well.

we really grew a lot during the national league years, you can see similar resurgences with other clubs but notts has always had a special bond with the fans. we just need to keep it going, as for sam austin he put the ball right to macaulay langstaff for a very neat finish, it was only ever going into the back of the net. lets keep this good vibe going and see where it takes us, every fan wants the club to have success and the club needs to have success for stability. no five year plans, just enjoying our love for notts and where it takes us.

i like how luke williams protects his players, jim o'brien got caught out but its not the end of the world. i think some of the comments about minor mistakes are not productive. whilst we do need to cut them out, there is zero point in making it into a bigger issue. we all make mistakes from time to time, supporting the players in these moments without being too critical is the way that they will eventually smooth things out. we wont win every game without conceding, good players force mistakes no matter how poor the squad we are playing is performing.

hes clearly good enough, its always been about that first goal. just as it was about winning our first game. macaulay langstaff will be more alert i feel, as a goal always lifts a player and hes an incredibly good talent. double figures I feel before christmas i feel, but if not he will be the end of the season.

i wished brian stubbs was around meadow lane more, he seemed to disappear after the trews. i dont blame him after them and what alan hardy did. i know he will be getting on, but it was always nice to see him and les bradd. its been said before but get legends like them down on match days to speak and say hello to fans and it creates a good feel.

its great to see the lady of the week, @magpiejue and her lovely mum at the doncaster game. i was sat further up from her but did not get a chance to say hello. the banner/scarf made an appearance in the ground though. awesome pictures!

the goal they scored should take away much, we controlled the game for over 90+ minutes, last season we would have seen it finish at 94 minutes and the switching off just reflects on the players feeling that it was almost over. we should keep the focus, i feel bad for aidan stone as he deserved a clean sheet but the goal does not take anything away from the game. for the most part of the second half, notts could have scored goals for fun. ruling out chicksens goal sort of made a difference.

good match day vlog, something most fans will appreciate and watch to capture a bit of how this past game felt. it was impressive and our fans made doncasters ground theirs for the game. you would never have known we were the away team. doncaster never bothered to try. both their team and fans are poor.

spot on @Chris, we are starting to look like the team we know and the first half was us feeling them out and just pushing to make that break through. the goal did open the game up and shows that we can defend well, its just a shame we switched off at the end but it happens. i dont think we should dwell on it. as for the referee, i swear he was wearing red too.

it was a good team performance, doncaster very disappointing but their fans are worse than the team. no support, no effort from them and it's a two way street. fans these days just dont see the put of encouragement, they would rather make everything miserable. thankfully, our lot were excellent. i love away days!

decent start by notts, mcgoldrick shot wide but doncaster look quite poor on the ball. we need to use the wider areas more.

hes a good guy, some players forget about teams they played for and how the fans were with them. its good that jon bostock shows his respect and i would not expect anything less from him.
