We've got 7 from 9 against fancied opposition, now we need to do same against lesser teams.
It was important that we didn't lose that game. 3 points is the icing on the cake.
Excellent win against my second team. Looking at comments made by home and away supporters, I think they could well end up being the team to beat in the league this year as they were missing several players.
Our recent upturn in form has so much to do with the Rawlinson and Cameron (especially Cameron) partnership and just shows what we were missing against Woking Halifax and Altrincham. Frustrating as we could be top of the table if they hadn't got injured, or we had signed an experienced loanee to play alongside Lacey.
Game 13 - The Ravens (H)

1st goal is a long throw and scramble.
2nd goal is a corner and Aldershot's keeper throws it into his own net.
3rd goal is a corner turned into a scramble and then a handball and penalty.
Could be a very frustrating evening.
Pretty much how they got their goal against us: long ball into the box, win the first header then scramble.
I can't say I feel defeated by drawing, clumsy goal to concede, but it sounded like Bromley made a game of it. If I put myself into their shoes, I'd be happy with the fight back - as a Notts fan I do wish we could've maintained the lead, but a good game meant the points had to be shared.
I have a feeling that Bromley are getting the rub of the green at the minute; I've watched a lot of their highlights and many of their goals are scrambles that somehow finds its way in. No doubt their a good side, but they will have a period where that doesn't stick.
Not saying they're a bad side, just a bit unfortunate we got them while their going well.
Patterson 7 - a couple of good saves, distribution superb first half but went a bit awry in the second.
Brindley 7 - some good forward runs out of defence.
Rawlinson 7 - a good, solid performance.
Cameron 8 - won most of his challenges, really good goal, led by example.
DKE 6 - usual commitment, but let down by his crossing.
JOB 7 - always involved, covered a lot of ground.
Palmer 9* - Sheer quality. Always available for a pass and barely wasted a ball. Too good for this level.
Vincent 6 - seemed to be trying a bit too hard, not many things worked.
Taylor 7 - did well defensively and going forward, caused them a few problems.
Rodrigues 6 - no real impact, a few decent runs but struggled to work a shooting position.
Wootton 7 - held the ball up well, got others involved.
Roberts 6.5 - took a while to get going, unlucky not to score.
Mitchell 5 - had a good chance to win it, but badly scuffed his shot and it ended up more of a pass back to their keeper.
The ref 4 - he seemed so determined not to be influenced by the crowd that the 50/50 decisions went 90/10 in their favour. It had to be a really blatant foul for him to give us a free kick.

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.

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!

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.

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?
