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.

hello, welcome to the pride of nottingham @helcat

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.

you can see all the effort going in, yes its not the start we wanted or predicted but it could be worse. tomorrow with our support, we could make the game strangely feel like another home game. 2.5k of our fans could really make a positive sound and i have been impressed at each away game myself. fans are clearly putting in effort to. we need to put a positive step forward by firstly putting in a good performance with chances on goal, with the amount of our fans in attendance we need to make them feel excited. yet finally we need to kick start the season. doncaster despite it most likely being a tough game, could be a great chance to pick up 3 points.

i know sometimes we will start of shaky even with a decent squad, i think much of the disappoint with the start comes from the expectations of us going strong again after our promotion last season but we need to continue with the amazing support we have seen in games. john bostock is right about what he says, we can still finish strong, lets be patient and try to give our all so that we might be able to encourage notts to achieve our hopes.

i do think we are starting to find out feet, the focus on high possession is a good thing because when the focus levels increase and the players fully settle into the season. we should be able to create more clear cut chances. i think we have a good chance to get a good result tomorrow, we just have to make sure that any errors dont punish us.

i think we could win either 0-1 or 0-2 depending on how many chances we create. i hope the games open but in a way where notts can hold onto the ball more than doncaster, i dont think there is any room for mistakes which cant be redeemed. i am very much looking forward to making this game.

i love this @magpiejue and @Chris. the rich history of julies family supporting the club, it does run a lot in families and it makes reading stories like this. i feel over the years, julie has been a great support and she is one of the people i look up to from notts. i dont think we have ever met in person but i feel i know her well. her mother has been coming to notts games for aslong as i can remember, the fact she still goes is amazing.

i meant more based on the chances we had, if we had played badly.

i think its a good chance to get 3 more points on the table, doncaster are struggling right now and its the right point to play them. their first two games they played quite poorly, i was not impressed with what i saw but in their last match they did show a lot more character. well i will be driving down with @TheSkipper and @CliftonMagpie. i also know @Chris, @Callum234 and @super_pie are also going.

this is excellent @TheSkipper, i agree with your thoughts on the game. each player does have a role to play and i think we do need to see more movement, we tend to be a little relaxed but i hope luke williams does say the players try to lose your mark etc.

i am happy, the performance to say its our third game of the season was not bad and we just need a bit more effort on goal. if luke williams is happy, so should every other fan, its fair to feel like we should have won but nobody can demand it. the players tried, gave 100% and unfortunately it was not enough to beat morecambe. credit to morecambe for their defending, i thought they looked decent on the break.

i think had we played poorly, it would feel like 2 points dropped but we played quite well. if we had the momentum and confidence to just go that little bit further, i think chances would have come which would have been a lot harder for morecambe to out. we need to figure out how to give langstaff the space he needs to finish. i would like to see mcgoldrick play closer at times and hopefully some of his clever touches will prove to be the difference.

they knew we had the quality to turn the game on its head, they made the most of the chances they had and countered well. i think notts could have won if we had just that little bit more quality from the players but i left happy with the point and the clean sheet. we can feel like we have dropped points, but really we have gained one. neither us or morecambe had a chance that i could say, that there was a clear cut chance that should have won the game.

as i have said on social media i am pleased that we are undefeated in 2, with a clean sheet. two things which should motivate better against doncaster. its still very early days, but i do agree that things are coming along. mcgoldrick was decent, jones had our best chance i feel. we just need a bit more quality on goal but it was not a bad display. now that we have won 1, draw 1 and lost 1. hopefully, we can start to see the intensity of the pre-seasons training giving us a fitness advantage over other teams and with that improved performances.

@Fan of Big Tone it was quite the stretch for him, very good ball by nemane. they almost scored, no idea what was going on. mellon put wide of stones post. they are coming more into the game.

its a good insight into the game, i think we need to be really on the game tonight but its going to be tight. i think morecambe will try to defend much more determined after their defeat to mansfield. i cant see them making it easy, but our midfield is blessed with so much quality that we have to create chances.

i am looking forward to the game, i think if we use our strength in midfield and work hard enough to create chances we can force morecambe to play a more defensive game. its going to be a tight outcome but we have sent quite a good following to the game, so lets hope we dont come back disappointed. ????????

jodi did very well as a team player and individually, i think he would be my man of the match and its not something i usually agree with when the club sponsors choose. he did well, his crosses were excellent and he linked up well with the team. i dont think he will get the goal, but we know it was him who scored. the win is all that matters but i hope to see more goals from him this season.
