According to the bookies, Portsmouth are odds on favourites to win L2 this season and so far they haven't disappointed. They are 2nd in the table with 28 points (9 more than Notts). They have scored 22 goals (3 more than Notts) and conceded 12 (a massive 10 less than Notts). 

Portsmouth drew 0-0 at home to Mansfield in their last game. They didn't create many chances. Portsmouth actually have a better away record. They are unbeaten on the road in the league this season. 5 wins and 2 draws. That's impressive. 

Portsmouth have a very strong squad. They have quality in every position. Their danger man is Matt Tubbs. He has 5 goals so far this season. They also have real quality in Conor Chaplin & Gary Roberts. In fact there is a threat from every position on the pitch. 

Notts haven't beaten any of the sides above us in the table. Of the teams in the playoff places as of last Saturday, our record is won none, 1 draw & 4 defeats. That is shocking and needs to change if we are to have any chance of challenging for promotion. 

Portsmouth play good football. Notts can't allow them to play good football. They have to be knocked off their stride. We have to play for 90 minutes and not the usual 70 minutes. 

I don't see Notts getting anything out of this game. I don't believe we are tactically astute enough to get a result. I'll go for 2-1 to Pompey. Izzy with the goal. 

It's @[member="hissingdwarf"] birthday today, nice present from Notts yesterday eh mate?

Happy birthday hope you have a great day.

I watched the cup final between Arsenal and our lady pies, I thought it was a real shame the ref gave a red card for a pretty tame tackle and it spoilt the game.

That said even with 10 ladies (I was going to say 10 men) I thought they played really well and didn't deserve to lose 3-0, they had lots of chances but were very unlucky.

Well done ladies hold your heads high.

I want to say thank you to everyone who has made me member of the month.

Even thank you to Dripsey for his sarcastic comments which is taken in good banter but just to everyone in a whole.

As everyone on here are top class 🏆🏆👍🏻 see you all at Northamphton at home

As you can all see by the title, I'm very confused by the obsession with Jimmy Spencer that many fans clearly have. He is clearly incapable of fitting into our style of play or making any impact when he plays. He got a decent run out against Orient and had a very poor game - few headers won, many minutes spent on the floor moaning and I think he had no shots all half. He got subbed on on Saturday against Exeter and yes, he only got about 5-10 minutes, but that was enough time for him to show that he should be let go. No pace, no strength, no real determination to win a ball (McLeod can also be lazy but he always gets in good positions) and no attacking runs. He has, however, a decent touch but only when he feels like it. He is the kind of player who relies on a slow playstyle and a fast striker alongside. Let him go to a club that suits him and free up some space for Ronan Murray, Filip Valencic and the other attackers we have that suit our game much better. Not to mention that Snijders and Kyle De Silva (wingers by nature that could also play up top) are rotting on our bench for whatever reason.

This is just me now but why do most younger lads my age 20-30s wear all this Stone Island Burberry etc etc to make a statement of acting hard or tough .

I just don't understand why anyone would want to wear this to think you're a big man

I mean it's basically a clothing item that singles you out even if you're not a thug and says hey I wanna scrap even if you don't realise it.

@[member="Dripsey3"] you're a good bloke and we have some decent debates you're my new sparring partner nothing bad.

I think you're a good bloke everyone has a partner they have a spar with end of the day were both black and white though 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a compliment aswell just in case you think wrong

Has anyone carved any pumpkins ready for today? Show PoN a photo of your pumpkins...

What is everyone doing for halloween?

Sorry to say people but I told you my glass was half full and we would beat Pompey and we did ⚽️⚽️.

Now I have a full glass I don't care if we deserved to win or not the FACT is we did we beat 2nd in the league I don't see why we really can't beat anyone on our day.


4 points off the playoffs now along way to go but again I told you all I was right I will accept any apologies for those who laughed when I said we would win .

Happy Halloween My MAGPIES let's celebrate 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This will be live on the BBC. We are ball number 30. My preferred draw is at home to Maidstone Utd. (if they make it) or FC United Of Manchester (if they make it) as it would be their first game ever in the first round proper of the FA Cup. Their opponents Sporting Khalsa started in the preliminary round and have made it all the way to the final qualifying round. I think they play at level 9 in the football league. It would be some achievement if they made it to the first round proper. 

Saturday's fixtures:
Ipswich Town v Cardiff City
Reading v Brighton
Coventry City v Peterborough United
Walsall v Gillingham
Leyton Orient v Accrington Stanley
Mansfield Town v Wycombe Wanderers

anyone got FIFA 16 on the Xbox one yet

Post is simple put the name of the next player you think is on his way out of Notts permently or a loan deal my list is like this.

1Jimmy Spencer
2Genaro Snidjers
3 Valencic

All good players that moniz clearly doesn't like wish Jenner would go on loan but he must be Moniz son or love of his life.

10 games gone for Borussia. 5 straight defeats followed by 5 straight wins. Is that consistency or inconsistency?

Notts County get a small mention in the article. 

Debate time people😊😊😊 I've watched the goals and I deffo feel McLeod was fouled from behind which led to there goal what's everyone else's view on this??

I just want to say to every member of Pride Of Nottingham you are all fantastic ever since I first joined I have loved this site.

Your are all the heart and force behind it and every member deserves a huge mention cause everyone on this board is fantastic so just giving you all some credit.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Saturday's Fixtures:
Charlton Athletic v Brentford
Hull City v Birmingham City
Blackpool v Crewe Alexandra
Rochdale v Oldham Athletic
Morecambe v Leyton Orient
Portsmouth v Mansfield Town

After a long trip to Bristol on Tuesday, Notts are heading for Devon on Saturday, a trip of 213 miles. The fixture computer obviously doesn't take distance into account...........

Exeter are 11th in the table. They have 21 points, 3 points ahead of Notts. They have scored 20 goals (2 more than Notts) and conceded 20 goals (1 less than Notts). They won 1-0 at home to Cambridge last night. 

Exeter like to play the ball on the ground. They play at a high tempo and work very hard to get the ball back. They actually do better against teams that like to play the ball on the ground. They have trouble against physical sides. 

Exeter's most dangerous player is their front man Tom Nichols. Hopefully Exeter go with Joel Grant alongside him, because Nichols and Clinton Morrison are a better combination. Morrison didn't play last night. Morrison might not score as many goals as he did, but he is creating chances for others. 

Notts are a side that suit Exeter. We won't bully them. We will play football. If we sit back like we did against Bristol Rovers then they will punish us. If we defend well and hit them on the counter, we will create chances against their defence. 

If we get our tactics right, I think we'll be OK, but I have a feeling we won't. I think RM will do what he did on Tuesday and I feel it won't work. I'm going for a 2-1 win for the home side. Noble on target for us. 

This topic is more awareness related I suppose what do parents think to games like Grand Theft Auto and certain games of that genre.


Would you allow you're child to play those games at a age of 16 etc


As I was reading today a guy in America was underaged and played GTA Vice City and one mission was you stole a police car and eliminated Police.

He then went out in the real world stole a police car I believe and killed two police officers and a dispatcher but then when he was caught he said the video game made him do it.


Can a video game really cause people to behave in such a sick twisted manner I mean I have had every GTA and in never even had a criminal record not even now

There was another case when I lived in west brom when another Rockstar game came out called manhunt which was horrific and eventually got banned in the uk.

Which made the game even harder to get but a guy from Walsall played the game and went out an did some horrific act and again said the game told him to do it.


Now the question is simple are video games for our children or is it people with mental issues should not be allowed to play these games.

Personally I play these games and understand what's right and wrong ones a game it's a different world and one is the real world what do you parents and grandparents think.

Would you allow you're children to play games like this with supervision so you could see if it's a suitbale thing as I

think most people want these types of games as all there mates get them aswell and they don't want to be out of the crowd

Today is the day that Marty McFly travels to in Back to the Future 2. Just realised on my way to work - nearly fell off my hoverboard.

Tuesday night's fixtures:
Hull City v Ipswich Town
Rotherham United v Reading
Colchester United v Port Vale
Peterborough United v Wigan Athletic
Luton Town v Leyton Orient
Oxford United v Plymouth Argyle

I know it's early only 14 games in and but are the teams in the play offs any better then us on our day Plymouth seem to think they've won the league already stags think there play offs contenders.


I Rember this time last year we was 2nd at one point flying thinking of the play offs til our luck ran out.

Seems the teams up the top are getting abit carried away already hopefully we are starting to pick up now and show what we are capable of.

As its surely got to be a matter of time before we take off I don't think I've seen a team down the lane were in said damn there amazing.

Plus we still have players coming back in Ronan Murray Rob Milsom Kyle De Silva Taylor Mclenzie IZALE is hopefully nearly 100% Hewitt is getting better by the minute
