Game 16 - The Stones (A)

Where: Grosvenor Vale

    Another fantastic result, I think they said the last time we scored 6 away was at Chelsea in the 1920’s! Mad!

    Only blemish is Brinds red card but if you had to pick a game to miss you’d say bottom of the league (not that I’m taking anything for granted) is an ideal chance to ease Baldwin back in. Early season I was dubious about our system particularly the roles of the wingbacks but credit to Chicks and Nemane, they're smashing it there. And great to have shared the goals around, Macca is red hot but we are certainly not a one-man team.

    Back-to-back home games now, although we’re doing pretty well playing away this season ????

    Fantastic result. Wealdstone away is exactly the kind of fixture where we've slipped up in seasons past, but we smashed it out of the park this time. The goals were top quality too.

    So Wrexham are still snapping at our heels, but we've already opened up an eight-point gap to third. All we have to do to go up is win every game :)

As Abraham Lincoln definitely once said: "Have a go at the PON prediction league. You know you want to." If you want to take his advice, this round of fixtures kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 10 September, and you have a joker each.

Advance warning: I will be on holiday for the three rounds following this one, so I'm going to make the topics this evening and unlock them three days before the respective matches kick off. Nothing will change from your end, but forgive me if there's a delay in counting the points :)

Game 15 - The Stones (H)

Where: Meadow Lane

    I'm glad we didn't suffer a hangover after the FA Cup game, but I didn't think we would as the team was back to the one that had notched up the 4 wins previous.

    I only listened and have seen the highlights, but Maidstone clearly came to frustrate but it didn't work at all. Totally dominate for the whole game, and Slocombe only had one save to make. Macca ploughing on with his goal scoring record attempt but it's important not to forget Cedwyn. 7 goals from 14 games for him, he's not getting the headlines but that's a great goal return. And good to see Ruben get his first open-play goal, given his change in role this season he probably won't get as many goals but he's still a vital part of why the team is doing so well.

    Our form right now is incredible really, we're on the kind of run that you need to win this league. 10 games, 9 wins and 1 loss. Tuesday can't come soon enough at the moment!

So there’s been a ton of articles about him this past week, features on the BBC Sport site and few write ups in national papers too.

I just wondered if anyone really thought he’d be as good as he has been? I remember when I first posted about him, I said he’d be doing well to get 15 goals in his first season for us, little did I know he’d have achieved that tally by October! I was worried when Woots left and thought it would take a bit of time for Langstaff to adjust to the step-up. I've been really surprised at how good he is!

I know we’ve started the season really well and you can’t complain about the league standing. But that result was embarrassing. Completely underestimated Coalville and gifted them progression to the next round. We were so switched off and bad on the ball today, it really did look like a team of strangers at times. So many bad induvial performances. The 3rd goal summed it up, awful corner and they go straight down the other end and score due to some absolutely criminal defending from us!

I didn’t think it would be easy but I really thought we’d win. Not just cos they’re 7th tier but it was a big chance for a lot of players today to make a statement, a lot them now can’t argue when they find themselves back on the bench. Sam Austin is probably the only player who can, 2 goals and our only real threat for most of that game.

Fair play to Coalville but that has to go down as one of our worst ever loses.

Notts may be playing in some cup competition, but the Proper Leagues carry on as normal, so here we are. Enter your predictions by 3pm on Saturday and remember your jokers! Good luck!

 

Burnley v Swansea City

Sunderland v Wigan Athletic

Bolton Wanderers v Barnsley

Burton Albion v Morecambe

Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

AFC Wimbledon v Sutton United

Carlisle United v Doncaster Rovers

Salford City v Bradford City

Young 2 Didnt have a lot to do except pick the ball out 3 times. Perhaps, we have helped Leicester, no where near good enough

Mahovo 5 Hung out to dry with some hospital passes. 

Rawlinson 5 Could defending be better?

Brindley 4 Off the pace, needs some ruthlessness to bring players down when exposed

Taylor 5 Some good work but needed to be more positive

Adebayo Rowling 5 Again, in advance areas, needed to do better

Francis 3 Too slow, decision making poor, anonymous

Bajrami 6 At least showed some effort and creativity

Castro 2.5 No real effort, commitment, nowt...exactly what Burton fans were saying

Austin 7 Motm by a distance

Mitchell 3 The fact is, he doesn't look like scoring. Inability to hold the ball up led to a Coalville goal

 

I am so depressed. Thought we were due a good FA Cup run. Only automatic promotion will do

 

Sorry about the slight delay, must be because it's round 13 (that's my excuse anyway). As ever, get your predictions in by 3pm on Saturday, remember your jokers and good luck! (But not more than me.)

 

Birmingham City v Bristol City

Millwall v Middesbrough

Lincoln City v Charlton Athletic

Oxford United v Wycombe Wanderers

Barrow v Mansfield Town

Northampton Town v Salford City

Maidenhead United v Oldham Athletic

Wealdstone v Boreham Wood

Slocombe 4 Seeing several posts on Social Media not entirely blaming Slocombe. The fact remains he could have cleared the ball with his left boot but allowed the ball to run across him and was charged down into the net. If we are serious about promotion, this cannot continue

Brindley 6 Always looking assured

Rawlinson 4.5 Defensively sound but ball at feet, nightmares ensue.

Cameron 5 Still prone to one bad pass but has the ability to move forward with ease

Chicksen 6.5 A successful afternoon down his wing...using his ability to beat Woking's last man

Nemane 5 Thought he had a quiet game

Palmer 5.5 Some really poor corners

Bajamri 8 Man of the Match. Some great tackles, an assured performance

Ruben 7.5 Ridiculous booking by the ref early on. Neatly taken penalty. Volleyed pass to Chicksen a thing of beauty

Scott 7.5 Showing the position and finishing of Langstaff

Langstaff 7 Not at his best but beautifully fed Scott for a goal

Subs

Mitchell 3.5 Another penalty given away. Liability in defence

Austin 7.5 Looks quality when he comes on

 

Game 13 - Red Dragons (H)

Team: Wrexham

Date: 04/10/2022

Where: Meadow Lane

    I wasn't impressed with Wrexham.

    They started well and made use of our high press, with an early chance that could've easily turned the game in their favour. Despite all their money spent, they still struggle with finishing, which bemused me slightly.

    Mullin actually seemed quite pacey for such a lanky presence.

    Notts grew into the game I felt and, I actually predicted the result. I wished in hindsight I said to the lads that Langstaff would score, but I did feel it would be someone else. Mostly due to the belief that Wrexham would make our key players heavily, but again they failed to deceive.

    We could've easily scored more with the chances created, whilst their only real opportunity fell early in the first half.

    Parkinson's comments about them deserving a draw at the very least is the typical talk a losing manager with high expectations says. In truth, they deserved nothing and all the talk about understanding how we play, it only looked like they did at times and those where very few between.

    What a fantastic evening and result, I'm jealous of everyone who was there! And what a superb crowd for a night match too - you could tell clearly on the radio that it was absolutely buzzing, it sounded more like a cup game. Now we need to carry this on at Woking.

That is all.
