Heading in the right direction?
Loved it today, admittedly after we gave away the pen and then the two corners that followed, I absolutely thought we we’re going to throw the game away inside those last 2 mins. But credit to the players we didn’t!
Absolutely deserved the win. It was a really good performance, everyone played well and the things I’d maybe questioned like the ability to get stuck in and manage a game were put to bed (for now!).
Bring on Bromley!

Frank Vincent is securing his place in the team by the sounds of his performances so far, it's very pleasing to see - especially after the reports of Michael Doyle's verge of return to the starting line-up. Nothing against Doyle, but that would've been a step back and very negative to happen.
Hopefully, it leads to a little self belief as there's a lot more that can come if the players just continue to work hard enough.
It's a fantastic result for Notts today.
-
Sounded great on the radio, looking forward to seeing the highlights! Some more performances like that and we'll start to close the gap.
Also great to hear that Vincent has made a big impact, I think a few of us had quietly written him off as a Patching-type signing. It's good man management too, as squad players know that good performances will be rewarded instead of the manager always picking his favourites regardless.
-
Dion Kelly-Evans has almost been see like a cult hero during his time here, but recently a lot of negative comments which seems to be hateful are appearing. People claiming hes a fraud footballer, not good enough etc.
I think fans who say he's a weak link in the team, that's their opinion and I accept it.
But I don't understand the hateful type comments, I wonder what your thoughts are on DKE?
-
Patterson 7 - not a lot to do in the way of saves, but confident with his handling and distribution. Deserved a clean sheet.
Brindley 7 - looks good on the right side of a back three, defended well and helped to build a few attacks.
Rawlinson 7.5 - looked rock solid all afternoon until his brainfart at the end.
Cameron 8.5 - looked more like the player I hoped we'd signed, commanding performance at the back.
Kelly-Evans 8.5* - his best game for a while, did everything you expect from a wing back all over the pitch.
Palmer - 8.5 - always available, barely wasted a pass, looks a class above this level.
O'Brien 7 - as usual not everything worked, but always in the action.
Vincent 8 - gave us something extra, lots of energy and movement, composed finish for his goal.
Taylor 7 - solid defensively and a threat going forward.
Rodrigues 7.5 - seemed to be singled out as the danger man, linked play well and worked some good positions.
Wootton 7 - missed two pretty good chances, but kept going and deserved his goal.
Roberts 6.5 - got involved, helped us keep hold of the ball in their half. I have to mention his woeful effort when he had possession in the centre circle and their keeper had gone up for the corner. A real chance, but it went nearer the corner flag than the goal. He probably needs a bit of extra training with Michael Doyle on scoring 50-yarders!
Mitchell - n/a.
A really enjoyable game and an excellent atmosphere, where the tempo was quicker and we played some really good stuff. There wasn't a weak link in the team and every player did their job. This showed what we are capable of, we just need to do it more often. -
what fruit do you like?
my favourite fruit is apples, i have always liked the taste of them.
berries like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries are very nice. i like kiwi and mango too. not so keen on some types of oranges or bananas.

Vincent starts.
-
Job done. Vincent was excellent, looking forward to seeing if he can do it in the league. Mitchell got a couple of goals but the jury is still out.
-
That's a big relief! Hopefully Mitchell and Vincent in particular can benefit from the experience. The glamour of Rochdale it is then!
-
Hi everyone, it's time for our first midweek prediction league in a while. The rules are the same - you get one joker - and the matches kick off at 7.45pm, so I'll need your submissions by then. Good luck!

Did any 1 notice Eli Sam and his horrific last minute miss kick.... No Puskas award for that..... He should have won the game for us...

Just seen the highlights - ouch. To be fair he was looking to square it, but he squandered a promising break. Rodders was unlucky with that free kick (part of the ball looked to be over the line, but not quite all of it), and Roberts would have buried his chance if he'd thought about it a bit less. Other than that, far too little. No disrespect intended, but our strongest team bar Wootton MUST be beating Southern League opposition, however well they acquit themselves.
Good to see the away end looking full. Shame they weren't rewarded.

Although some teams (ahem) will spend Saturday tearing strips out of each other for the right to play the likes of Crawley Town in the FA Cup, there's a full league programme on in the Proper Leagues. And so we have round 12 of our prediction league - the matches kick off at 3pm, and you get a joker each.
Millwall v Luton Town
Nottingham Florist v Blackpool
Cambridge United v Ipswich Town
Fleetwood Town v Crewe Alexandra
Lincoln City v Charlton Athletic
Bradford City v Bristol Rovers
Crawley Town v Sutton United
Exeter City v Newport County

should we extend patterson and brennans loan if possible?
brennans loan expires on 27th November.
patterson loan expires on 26th October.
i think its clear we thought patterson was a short term option but i think slocombe having someone to push him for his place would help, i dont think it makes sense to rely on just slocombe. its obvious the club dont want to recall brooks, so i wonder would sunderland allow patterson to remain if he was to sit behind another experienced keeper without much game time?
brennan for me is less important, although a useful player to have. if rawlinson and lacey remains fit, where would brennan fit in? i dont see him getting much game time if we arent expiring injuries at the back.
-
What are your thoughts on what is currently happening with Notts right now? Why are the players leaking and giving goals away???
-
Thought Hungary were so well set up...a mixture of their top 3 pressing, discipline to keep players behind the ball, making it difficult for England to find space
-
I thought it was a bonus to see Kyle Cameron selected to play against Yeovil, a crucial return in my eyes. Connell Rawlinson and Sam Slocombe will be welcomed returns too.
What centre-backs would you choose?
Sam Slocombe or Anthony Patterson in goal?

I didn't get round to posting, but I thought a gritty, ugly 1-0 win would have done us a world of good, so I'm delighted with the result. It was just important to get back to winning ways and just get the basic things right again. Looking forward to seeing the highlights of this one!
-
Seeing out games is something I think the squad will get better at, what with players returning. Provided we keep a strong defence, I think the worries should be over. I am glad Notts managed to get the 2-0 win.
By all means it could've been more goals for Notts, but the job was done which is all that matters.
-
Notts has to build on the clean sheet, there is goals in the squad but keeping the opposition out leads to more confidence going forward IMO.
Good result against Yeovil.

There's going to be a match later this month with heading restrictions in place. First half headers in area, second half no headers.
While I'm all for the research of brain injury caused by heading a football and I do believe that some cases of dimentia may have been caused by this, there is the factor of balls being lighter these days compared to the ones years ago when they were solid and soaked up rain to make them heavier.
I don't think the game could be without heading.
As I said I'm all for the research but is the game being without heading beneficial for football as a whole?
