  1. My prediction would 2-1 Notts. I hope that the club can claim their first win, it would be the best possible result but I worry about leaking goals still.
  2. I would like to see more videos on the reserves but not the youth team, after losing Donga He it's best to keep hold of them until they're professional signed on.
  3. I think it's all about how much the squad can further take on from the manager Harry Kewell is saying. The positives are there and the performance of last Saturday against Stevnage was better, I just don't know if the attitudes will be right on the day.
  4. Northampton are an unknown. They can play well and I wouldn't have foreseen them to be a side struggling like us. I think the game will be scrappy and possibly another draw, but this would be a step in the right direction for Notts.
  5. Notts County sit bottom of the league two table after drawing 3-3 against Stevenage at home on Saturday 15th September. Jon Stead's goal 22 minutes in took Notts ahead, which was then even when Danny Newton scored an equaliser at the 38 minute mark. Enzio Boldewijn scored another goal for the Magpies followed by another equaliser from Stevenage's Cedric Evina. Half time finished as a draw, 2-2. In the second half, Notts County's Kane Hemmings scored a leading goal which was again equalised by Stevenage's Danny Newton. With the match ending in a draw, The magpies need to work hard to get off the bottom of the table and stop conceding as many goals. How did the fans react to the draw against Stevenage after a long spell of losses? Notts County had lost six games in a row before Saturday's match. Heres a round-up of some of the post-match reaction. Harry Kewell "We were very positive, especially in the first half. Our legs went kind of at the end of the game. Stevenage play a simple way looking for flick ons. I'm disappointed we led three times and couldn't hold out. "We're hurting but it's a point and something to build on. "All the players worked hard and it's just a shame we didn't get three points." Jon Stead "We need to improve the ugly side of the game and make sure we win second balls, It’s about making sure we defend strongly, win the headers and clear it into the stands when we need to. We need to get better at that sooner rather than later. "We’re working hard day in, day out to stop shipping goals like we have been and to become more solid at the back. "With the way things have been going it’s really important that we’ve managed to stop the rot today, scoring three goals and taking a point from the game is a plus because we haven’t done that for a long time. We’ve shown we can create openings and it’s frustrating to have taken the lead three times but we have to take the positives." Enzio Boldewijn Jamie Turley The Black and White Army on PON CliftonMagpie: "The outfield players did their jobs today, I think the performance was better and not far from being okay. We just have a massive issue with the keeper, he doesn't communicate and his attitude stinks at the moment. We can't sign more defenders, I felt these did well and was caught out by play that could of been prevented by the team. The first two goals we might as well played without a keeper." liampie: "I'm worried about Notts, there was an improvement today but there is no little praise for giving the lead away three times. Notts would have had Stevenage, they looked poor but we gave them a way back into it every time we scored. Notts looked good at times especially in the second half. But the opening nerves crept in and times. i have little faith in Fitzsimons, people moaned about Collin for slowing down the game but all Ross does is give the ball away by blindlessly clearing it to the opposition." Countyman: "There is finally something to build on now. I am worried that the club doesn't realise that Fitzsimons is a shadow of his former self, I do hope that he can improve but I don't see it. I felt the defence looked better, all the signings fitted in and worked hard. It's just those moments when nobody takes responsibility that punishes Notts." B&Wstripes: "Normally I would be frustrated but I feel a point has given Notts something to build on from. I am not impressed with Fitzsimons but I hope if we can cut down the shots on target that he may find his hands again, either that or the confidence. I felt the KOP made a big impact and it was a lively response from the fans." Sabretooth: "Played some really good attacking football. What's happened to Brisley and Fitzsimmons they are dire. Need Ben Hall back ASAP. Husin massive improvement, Alessandra, Stead and Milsom never stop seem to be the fittest 3 by a mile. Enzio is awesome needs more fitness." Jimmy Gee: "Still feel most of our problems stem from a goalkeeper whose confidence has gone. Still flapping. Kicked ball straight at attacker when clearing from hand in the goal area. Not imposing himself on attackers. Passing out from his area to marked defender. Not communicating with defence. He must improve! Have we got to score 4 goals to win a game?" David Burkley: "It's early days for Kewell but I saw enthusiasm and commitment today. Still mistakes at the back but I'm confident that once the new lads get up to speed they will be solid. Not sure about Brisley? We deserved the win today but I said before kick of I'd take the draw so can't complain. Stopped the rot, now fill it. COYP!"

  6. Spot on @Chris, it's good to see all the great PON content return.
  7. This is my worry, the defence could help but Fitzsimons only saved what was kicked straight at him. What concerns me the most are the fans who probably call him blind but want others to cut him some slack, it don't work like that and the club clearly felt like the defence was the issue before looking to sign a keeper. Maybe they did try? I don't know but it concerns me because every where else has improved.
  8. Some progress but it should have been three points in the bag for Notts!
  9. Something to build on, somewhere for Notts to start setting a standard and hope for cutting out the goals. A new keeper is needed, Fitzsimons is long gone from the person we saw from last season but even then his fanboys overrated him.
  10. Looks like they decided to interview him early, as this falls into the previews put out by the club. The interview is fine, the guy asking the questions sounds a little annoying but its good.
  11. It's crazy to see him back but here we are, I just hope he can add some reinforcement to the squad. I feel he's better in midfield than on the left of defence.
  12. Good contrast between both Stevenage fans, great job @samwatto2008.
  13. It will be a difficult game. Stevenage have signed some very good players for this league, they are still a very physical team but they are much more focused on passing. I worry Notts will end up trying to hoof the ball and that the game will become scrappy. The ball played in the air would suit them better than it would us, we have to use the flanks and exploit any space. I think the score could be 2-2 but it wouldn't surprise me if it ended 2-1 to them.
  14. Not the best comments he could have made but give him time, he can't be too critical because it will only make his job harder.
  15. Handball, the Ox has given a penalty away and I'm not confident Fitz will save. No, it's gone in but he can't be blamed. Another 3-1 loss on the cards!
  16. He reminds me of my granddad, I hope he knows what he's let himself in for.
  17. If the defence settles down and focuses, there is a chance Notts could win but I feel unsure myself about Notts maintaining a lead. Things have to improve sooner or later.
  18. There's something available for Notts to build on from in the second half, a good performance and knowing they did well should help in the league. I'm surprised Notts sound like they have improved as much as it does.
  19. I wonder if there was much point signing him, I hope he shows us at some point that he worth paying him.
  20. No worries, how long is he out for?
  21. Why live stream with a shoddy audio pick up? I bet it was just someone phone. ????
  22. Interesting, it makes a difference to be able to hear it @Chris doesn't it?
  23. If he's fit where is he? I don't really care about the competition but a win would help boost the players confidence.
  24. Notts fell apart after conceding. The third goal killed any chance of a come back, at least there was some form of spark after losing Dan Jones.
