Game 41 - Cobblers (H)

Team: Northampton Town

Date: 06/04/19

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Neal Ardley opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

John stead this morning gave his pre match thoughts before Notts face Northampton in tomorrow’s must win.

BBC Nottingham sport earlier sent out a tweet saying that the sale of the magpies had taken a step closer an un named party has arrived in Nottingham to do due diligence at meadow in preparation for the possible sale/purchase of Notts County. 

So caption this is back .. the picture is taken from today’s games at Stevenage.

simply put your best caption down and I will choose a winner next Friday night.!

Good luck and happy captioning guys and girls. 

So the magpies return home to meadow lane as prepare to face Northampton in a must win if we are to avoid the drop. 

So who’s going to the lane to support the lads.?

So life as the permanent manager of Manchester United hasn’t started greatly for Solskjsar barley beating Watford at the weekend then last nights 2-1 defeat to Wolves. It’s the second time in 3 weeks that Wolves has beaten Manchester United. The night started very promising with Scott’s mcTommany scoring his first goal for United but Wolves would soon equalise. Then Ashley Young would be Mike Deans 100th red card from there wolves had the advantage holding on to the ball making united chase then a error from defender Chris  Smalling handed Wolves the three points. United in the Fa cup a few weeks ago against wolves were awful they lost 2-1 could of been more if not for De Gea saves.

So Wolves are the only team to beat ole’s red men back to back is this a sign that Wolves could be Ole’s banana skin  opponents. 

Notts welcome Northampton to meadow lane on Saturday where the steaks couldn’t be higher and three points is a must.

so with that in mind who would your starting 11 be also the subs on the bench or your match day squad and formation. 

I might be taking after @super_ram more and more, or it could just be the fact I'm getting older, but some adverts really do ANNOY the hell out of me. Most I don't think twice about, others are fun, amusing and interesting. Yet this one makes me watch to break the screen of the device playing the advert.

It's god damn annoying.

What ads do you have a strong disliking for?

MOMENTS before kick-off Notts County’s last home match at Meadow Lane, Michael Doyle emerged from the tunnel lugging the FA Cup.

Applause was muted. Though part of celebrations to mark the 125th anniversary of Notts County’s only victory in the competition, the parade was tantamount to a sick joke – like showing a tramp a picture of his long-dead grandfather’s sprawling manor.

Even Doyle looked sheepish, painfully aware that the sight of a County skipper toting silverware was deeply incongruous.

This, after all, is a club at death’s door, an institution of 157 years’ standing now propping up a league it helped to found in 1888.

Found this on Twitter. My interest in the Premier League isn't what it used to be

But I found this. Who would be in yours?

This is mine

Describe January loanee centre back Sam Stubbs in just one word.

So Notts fell in summerset loosing 2-0 to Yeovil and with Macclesfield winning 2-1 other scores going against us my question is simple is it time for us to panic .. or put it another way is it time for the great escape.

Saturday's Fixtures:
Sheffield United v Bristol City
Stoke City v Sheffield Wednesday
Oxford United v Wycombe Wanderers
Southend United v Shrewsbury Town
Exeter City v Mansfield Town
Forest Green Rovers v Milton Keynes Dons


Mine:
Sheffield United 2-1 Bristol City (((Joker)
Stoke City 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday
Oxford United 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers
Southend United 1-0 Shrewsbury Town
Exeter City 1-0 Mansfield Town
Forest Green Rovers 2-2 MK Dons

yes you heard it or read it correctly Notts has secured there first win for sometime at Stevenage with enfatic 3-0 win and with Macclesfield drawing with Lincoln and Colchester beating Cambridge and Newport beating Yeovil.

my question is simple is the greatest escape on can we beat the drop and remain a league side.?

So what's everyones Sunday plans then. I’m aware it’s mother’s day too. 

Notts midfielder Jim O’Brien has spoken to the everning post and said that “Notts are not chucking it in” the magpies lie  bottom of  league two and three points adrift of safety with seven games still to play and fifteen points to play for. Notts have only collected 33 points out of a possible 117 points Jim spoke ahead of County’s cruical Away tie At Stevenage. 

The full interview is available in the link below.

So where is everyone heading off to this year on holiday and are you taking your county shirt.? 

What must be the first priorities for the new owner or owners when they take charge of Notts?

Training ground?

Reduce debt?

So I know today’s results we have had before and people probably think I’m off my head but that’s ok I’m used it. 

After today I can’t wait for next Saturday at home against my second Northampton just something about today’s results that has really made me smile and think yess it’s on the great escapes on. 

I love home games cause of the family time with @Chris and @super_pie and Callum we have a great day but the momentum we have I’m hoping we can keep it. 

Anyone else looking forward to next Saturdays home game against Northampton. 

January signing Micheal Doyle has called for Notts County to be “A little bit braver take a few more chances and be creative” and not “look back in the summer with regrets” as Notts face Exeter in a must win match at meadow Lan tomorrow.

So this is the league two table at the close of play on Saturday night I know it may be to soon to celebrate but surely it must bring a little smile.
