Here's a view of what the general census of the Bristol City fans think.

Before the Game

'Fatalist'; Said "In the game at Meadow Lane they were really timid. Derry said they had no choice but to get men behind the ball, we were so good. They just let us come at them. We really should have had it sewn up long before JET's winner. All this was with them as the HOME side. Don't expect them to come at us all guns blazing tomorrow."

'dandare 1966'; Said "Don,t panic we will get at em and they don,t like it up um."

'Marina's Rolls Royce'; Said "NC competed really well last time at BS3 and we were lucky to win. The TOTL spot is there for us and our team will want that every bit as much as us and more."

'Buckobcfc'; Said "I reckon we will win 3-1 smith to bag a brace and K. Smith to get a screamer from 25 yards."

'old_eastender'; Said "Reckon it will be close, going for 2-1 City win be really good to see Jet score from open play..."

'cidered abroad'; Said "This will be close. Just look at Notts away record. W 5. D 5. L 1."

'Iron Man'; Said "One of the worst teams for their time wasting, need an early goal or it will be one of them days."

Aftermath

'Super'; Said "Worst team I have seen by a mile this season. And by far the worst kit!"

'Slartibartfast'; Said "Only play as well as they're allowed."

'Antman'; Was annoyed by Roy Carrol, he said "petulant, erratic, **** and hilarious in equal measure - how he got away with his 'bribery' gestures i'm not sure,he seemed to be as frustrated with his own team as the fact he kept leaking goals."

'GrahamC'; Said "Notts were desperate, they made Yeovil look like Real Madrid."

Whilst 'chilvers88'; Said "I am seeing a lot of post saying how bad notts were ect but I have to say I think they came here with a game plan not many others have and that was to win themselves but they were just not good enough and I think if they came here today and put 10men behind the ball we probably wouldn't not have scored as many."

'BRISTOL86'; Believes Roy Carroll should be punished for his alleged actions within the game - "He should be facing trouble from the FA for those bribery gestures. Not very professional at all from a player with such experience."

'Aaron-Bcfc'; Said "That's only because we scored early. Their game plan from the beginning was to park the bus and grind out a draw but our goal changed that and forced them to open up a bit. I don't blame Derry at all for setting up negatively though, we have the better team so it's to be expected."

'Northern Red'; Said "Just been having a browse of their forum, the main criticism from their fans seems to be that they're too defensive. Not just today, but as a general point."

'Strawberry2157.'; Said "Worst side this I've seen this season, they had nothing to offer and were lucky they have a decent keeper ... Enjoyable game."

'ChippenhamRed'; Said "A combination of us playing very well in spells, and Notts being poor. The early goal ensured they couldn't park the bus and made for an open game that suited us down to the ground."

'harrys'; Said "you are desperate not to give Jet any credit, spoke to a Notts C. Fan in North Streetafter the game who said that is one of the best performances he's ever seen from a player in his 30 years of following football."

'dezgimed'; Said "I liked their kit. ADO Den Haag esque."

'ChippenhamRed'; Returned and said "Fully expected them to park the bus but to be fair to them, they kept trying to play even when 4-0 down. Absolutely nothing up top though."

Which comments stand out to you and why? What are your thoughts?

Okay, I'm going to challenge you all to a little game of 'Guess Who' again.

I want you to use the

bbcode so start with "[spolier]" and end with "

" and you comment would go between, after which it saves others from seeing your guess. No picking at what people guess! Okay? Good.

Good Luck!

Ps. If any images disappear whilst people take part, I will re-add them and contact those who join in (I don't expect it to happen).

Are going to be playing in Blue again, after the barm pot that owns them does a U turn on the re-branding that saw them play in R*d.

I just notice this on another forum, I think it's something Notts should consider for the bench next season. Yet I would limit to a age range, get youngsters 'feeling' the magic around Notts. I wonder what @erindoors would think of this?

There's a chance of snow forecast in the next few days.What's the weather  like where you live?It;s been relatively mild here until the last few days.What about you @PTID1862 , @Northants Pie and further afield @Dripsey3, @Canadian and @pie_in_shanghai ?

Hopefully this hasn't been posted, I haven't caught up with all the threads since I got back from my break.

Has anyone else received the survey about the bench and have you filled it in?

It asks what features you liked and which you used, what you didn't like and didn't use. Also any improvements you would like to see.

A good idea in my opinion.

It seems we are interested in Jermaine Easter.

He's a reasonably decent striker, who could actually do a job in this league but it seems he isn't interested in leaving Millwall.
 

Notts County are interested in Jermaine Easter, says Millwall boss Ian Holloway.

Holloway says the Magpies have sent a scout to watch the 32-year-old striker, who has only started two league games this season.
But he insists Easter is still in his plans at the Championship club.

“He could have gone out on loan and I’ve not let him go out on loan,” said Holloway.

If any deal included a fee and a transfer, I personally would rather see it being spent elsewhere. It seems that is what Ian Holloway is seeking but what price would you put on Jermaine Easter? If the rumours are about us having money, it would be better spent on younger players.

Thoughts?

I was reading on another forum about these and I decided to have a look at them, I was amazed how cheap they were, after a bit of research I eventually went for this one LINK at just under £12 its very good. It records footage onto an SD card (not included) and has a screen to view the footage on playback, it records sounds as well if you wish, when the SD card is full it will write over it from the beginning. It would be very handy to have if involved in an accident and could be used in evidence to prove who was at fault. I believe some insurance companies give a discount if you have one. I thought it was worth a punt for that price, has anyone else got one?

Prepare for the best here, which I think would be safe to say making sure we don't concede many.

I'd hope we could leave with a draw, yet I don't see us winning. This said, Bristol have lost to some sides you would have expected to be slaughtered themselves and other teams similar to us have gotten draws. I don't have that feeling, I think they will win but it wouldn't be the end of the world or requiring 'Derry' out comments.

With the lack of wingers (quality) I think our chances will be largely limited.

I see the game ending 2-0 in their favour.

Thoughts?

Am I the only one that likes them.To me christmas dinner wouldn't be complete without them but other family members disagree.

You can picture the panic now can't you, the future Mrs... her mind full of devilish plans on how to part you from your most prized possessions...

Maybe Enoch should give up playing lower leagues and concentrate on the wedding business
 

I found these to be quite interesting, it highlights quite a few things at least for me.

Thoughts folks?

Well as recommended by @notts-joe ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ I've watched the first four episodes so far and it is quite humorous.

It's like a b movie version of the walking dead.

Some funny characters as well. Murphy is cool and when the doc was presumed dead in the fourth episode I was not impressed. Glad he made it out alive as he is a great character.

Three additions ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30699756

If you can watch this and comment, you'll be a knight within PoN's ranks. I probably should be mindful when using the word 'highlights', I see the club appear not to have socially shared this yet (unlike normal). Probably because of this reason but if this gains more than five comments I will be happy.

It makes for difficult viewing, what do you make of Bristol City?

Saturday's Fixtures:
Blackpool v Millwall

Nottingham Forest v Sheffield Wednesday

Crewe Alexandra v Gillingham

Sheffield United v Preston North End

Burton Albion v Mansfield Town

Southend United v Plymouth Argyle

I see Nottingham RFC are doing really well, I read somewhere that if they get in the Premiership they will be back at Meadow Lane, I like to see them doing well but we don't want them back on our pitch.

Hmmm, Is Keith up to his old tricks again..

Mrs. H. knows what I like, she got me this great notts County watch, now I will be able to point at it and shout at the ref when we are 1-0 up and 2 minutes into injury time in the style of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Cockney rhyming slang for the matchday chatroom's favourite anatomical part!

So, links between the 2 clubs.  Immediate thoughts go to the Warnock era, and the 3-way tussle for promotion around 1990.  Eventually a title race between City and Rovers, with us taking the Wembley route past Tranmere Rovers.  Remember the days and players as though it was yesterday - Supermarket end at Bolton anyone?!

Players - one standout candidate for me is Martin Kuhl, a short stint at Meadow Lane remembered for one "Barn"storming reason I am sure you recall!

Special mention for Abe Akinbiyi too  :-)

Over to you folks...

My vote would go to Roy Carroll, he showed how committed he is when he flew back from an International to play for Notts. What a man!

He's put in some fantastic performances since joining us and has saved us numerous times.

So who would be your player of 2014 they don't have to be playing for us now there are probably some strong candidates from last years great escape.

I've just been reading another site where by a fan says;

"Everyone seems to be sucking up to him, but he basically is leaving because he wouldnt be first pick anymore, but he would have done them the favour of signing up for a few more million quid had they asked in the summer, when he thought he would still get to play whenever he wanted."

Supposedly he has a ego, although I can relate to the real reasons he's leaving or at least it's how I see it. You may feel differently?

He's leaving because he knows his best playing days are behind him, he retired from international duty when he still is one of our better players to focus on his league career. This suggest to me at the stage of the decision Steven realized something was different, that he's past his peak and that he wanted to prolong his career with the team he supports.

Nothing remotely selfish about that and I see no signs of a massive 'ego' which the title suggested.

Steven Gerrard is Liverpool FC, for me he is still worth his place in what is a very poor team considering the amount of money they have spent and the way they play.

I can relate to him not wanting fans to see him as 'past it' and I think it's an incredible sign of respect to not be selfish by joining another English club where he is settled, which probably would offer more than LA Galaxy (I'm specifically speaking money) and by refusing to play against them. This isn't solely because he wants to be remembered as a 'legend' and a 'great player' but because I guess it would hurt him.

What do you think about the Gerrard retirement saga? I am really curious! Do you think he's being selfish? #debate

Supposedly occurring to "Mike McCarthy" on Twitter and the ThisisNottingham website, Wolves striker Jake Cassidy is still on our managers radar. He wrote "Notts County manager Shaun Derry confirms interest in bringing Jake Cassidy back to Meadow Lane. Says McLaughlin & Laing deals difficult."

It doesn't do anymore than state the obvious really, getting McLaughlin and Laing back would always be difficult.

Forest are going to need to balance their squad and I can see Laing making his way into their side on rotation due to their transfer embargo, whereas Pearce seems to support McLaughlin so they're very unlikely.

Would you take Jake Cassidy back?
