Should be a win. Colchester showed some spirit in their game against Wolves which is about the only worry I'd have. 

[Feral Fox]

Soooo much want this to be a win. If we do get 3 points then the belief will really be there. Let's just hope we haven't left it too late!

[LeoIM]

We only must win!!!!! Let's go Notts from Italy!!!!!! Someone could tell me where I can see the match by streamig? Sorry for my english!!!!

[Cobby]

A win would certainly put us in a much healthier position.  It's these games, against our fellow strugglers, that we really need to be getting points from.

This game isn't live Leo, so there won't be any video steams but we do usually post the highlights after the match (well the day after). Be sure to check back and keep adding your thoughts buddy.

Notts need to avoid being complacent against Colchester, as the song on the radio mentions 'things can only get better' and a win would go along way towards helping us survive. I believe we can, we just have to make sure we score first and keep guard at the back. They're a side which I firmly believe we can beat, so I hope the players do. This isn't to be over confident but focused.

Don't you mean Notts need to be careful and NOT complacent @notts-joe

No, I've amended my mistake.

[GrannyPie]

Sorry, just pointing out.

[liampie]

well this as a massive amount of weight on the players shoulders, confidence seems to be returning. the defence is getting better, the real tests are to follow but i see us winning.

the players best not let us down, they could lose the support.

we have momentum at the moment and fans coming back on side. 3-0 notts!

Great thoughts and comments so far folks, don't forget to add your confessions to the attendance thread! If you're unable to go please have your excuses ready and of course join in with the attendance predictions.

Next season will keep an eye on the predictions and give points. We can find out who is the attendance prediction king or queen!

Also, the match officials feature is now published. You can find both this and the attendance thread in the original post - Here.

Let's keep this going!

This saturdays officials sound like a boy band - collins, avent, phillips, hair.   

It should be a good game and we could very well get 3 back to back wins. That said, when was the last? I hope Tyson is fit, they have some quick players and we could do we countering that. Murray and Spencer in their usual roles, tyson to fill in the gaps. grealish, liddle and vela all to add the bone to midfield. Keep the defence the same, give thompson the nod.

[JC99]

Its looking better, a clean sheet could do a lot. Crying shame I can't just go, dying to see s real game.

Notts have the momentum and home crowd.

No time to gamble, play safe and do it well. Notts need to win, anything but will be a set back. We can do this!

[super_ram]

Good luck Notts.

[Chris]

Brilliant start, Murray kept going for the goal. 1

-0 to Notts! Get in there!

[Chris]

I can relax a little now, Hollis gives us a nod and now its 2-0. Our defence is making our lives stressful buy they're withstanding the threat. Hopefully we take control in the second half and just manipulate play.

[super_ram]

And Rams 2 up.So far so good.

[BradtheMiller]

Told you Pies............BELIEVE!!!!!!!

 

ITS ON!!!!  

[Chris]

I can't say at any point  that I managed to relax.

This isn't to say Colchester played well, I felt they was very poor. The times they did well, they just absolutely wasted their chance. The ref wasn't all that bad today, a few errors but overall better than I expected.

We played well, though it's hard to see how we would score if it wasn't for the magic of Murray and Hollis is a constant threat from set pieces.

Proud of Notts! The great escape is on...

[Feral Fox]

It sounded quite tense on the radio. It sounds that we did what they didn't. put the chances away. they sounded to play some good football, but fortunately, we pulled it off again.

On we march. The escape is on!

Before I said we needed to confirm it today. Now we have so come on you Pies!!!

[Joe Jones]

What a win. WHAT. A. WIN. Here's another very proudly written match report for y'all. :)

[super_ram]

Well done Notts.Keep picking up the all points at home,away point will be a bonus.There are a few matches coming where teams in the relegation battle play each other.It's going to be tight but things look a hell of a lot better than a couple of weeks ago.Come on you can do it.

[Magic magpie]

The great escape that's how we do it we'll done lads keep it going coyp

[Cobby]

Who would have thought we would be where we are now only a couple of weeks ago? It looks like we have a more settled side, with a strike partnership and CBs that are working well together

[upthepies]

This will do, hard thought win. Very pleased myself right now, the players should believe.
