Well we can't be too critical after a really good season so far( FA cup apart which was abysmal), so accept the point and move on. Cant help thinking that we are slowly getting a complex about where we are and struggling to cope with lofty ambitions.

Cooper started our dismal day.... Making the teams change ends before kick off... I bet he remembered from his time here a few seasons ago... Its worked several times over the years....
That was a frustrating listen, and in hindsight the "twist" was so predictable it could've been on Eastenders. A record crowd after having scored for 39 consecutive home games? It's sod's law.
It's annoying but we just have to pick up the winning habit again as soon as we can.
With no NL transfer window, should Notts be looking at any potential signings from Southend?

We have been incredibly clinical at times this season so three goals isn't absurd, but given Southend's very good form I think if we do win it won't be by that sort of margin.
Neither side had an FA Cup game so both teams will be fresh and I agree, two in form teams, should be a great game. I can't image we'll make too many changes maybe just Brinds in for Baldwin, so Rawlinson back in the middle of the back three. And Langstaff is surely due a goal now too, it's been 2 games without!
I think if had to bet on it I'd go for a draw too. And I'd take it, assuming we can finally get a win at Eastleigh as that would be 4 points from our double header of away games this week.
Two ponts thrown away, I still think we should have had enough to win but fair play to Southend.
Good game, thought Southend did well to disrupt our build up on the whole. Slocombe had way too many touches for my liking, we needed to be a bit braver progressing the ball instead of playing safe. When we broke the lines we looked dangerous, we just didn’t do it enough.
I think the Southend first goal is lucky, 9 times out of 10 if you push a player in the back two handed you get a free kick… But there you go.
Draw was a fair result in the end, and I think Southend will be in the play-offs come the end of the season and are likely to take points off our rivals too.
This is a rerun of round 8, which was originally planned for September but was cancelled for monarchy-related reasons. Apart from that everything is the same - predict the following fixtures by 7.45pm on Tuesday, remember your jokers and please try to let me win this time. Good luck!

Another great result. Fingers crossed we actually look like a team that can last the pace. At the moment I would say it would be us or Wrexham, I realise its very early days but confidence means a lot, long may it continue
Not sure what to say really, sounded like another confident performance, excellent crowd, onto the next one! It'll be very difficult to shake Wrexham off and I personally doubt we'll hold top spot from now till the end of the season, but we are putting clear blue water between us and the rest.
Most importantly of all: four more wins and we're safe from relegation 
Tuesday nights aren't quite the same without a prediction league round, are they? So here you go. Please send in your predictions by 7.45pm on Tuesday, and remember your jokers. Good luck!

Well apart from a sending off a very satisfying night for Notts.
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
