    Cheltenham

    We really need 4 points from the next 2 games, which would need a big improvement in our away form. Forest Green's home form has been really impressive of late so it won't be easy. I'm hoping that Grant's goal last week will be the catalyst to a return of early season form for both him and the team.

    Swansea

    The second half was a really tough watch last night but 3 points was the most important thing. If we're to have the success we all want this season, we're going to have to start improving our away form. 4 out of our next 5 matches are away.

    Swansea

    It was really humiliating but it will seem like a bit more of a distant memory if we beat Barnet tomorrow.

    Ryan Yates

    I see that Yates was brought off the sub's bench in injury time today. I know we've moved on but I feel sorry for the boy. He was making great progress at Notts but this move hasn't gone well for him so far.

    Great performance great attendance

    A fantastic day today. Husin's strike was a belter and the 3rd was a cracking team goal. It was brilliant to see the team putting on such a good performance rather than choking in front of such a big crowd. Hopefully, some will be tempted to come back again and it would be no more than Alan...

    transfers

    Mason Bennett already up and running. Noor Husin looks better each game he plays and is clearly far more effective in a 4 man midfield. We have cover for the centre backs now too. So far, so good.

    Exeter

    We left ourselves too much to do after going 2 goals down and although we bossed the second half, we can't expect to always be able to stage big comebacks. I felt we were too weak in midfield in the first half and they seemed to win nearly all the second balls. Stead battled really well all...

    Imps

    Me too. They have just lost their best defender who has gone to Norwich and another defender is suspended. We will obviously have to adapt to the loss of Yates and hope that Grant isn't affected by all the speculation surrounding him. With 3 home league games coming up, a point today could be...

    Matty Virtue

    He comes with a good reputation but stepping up to 1st team football is a big challenge for any youngster. If he makes the kind of impact Yates did, he'll be a great capture.

    Yates gone

    He put in some great perforances for usand will be missed. What's laughable is how so many Forest fans seemed to think they were doing us a favour by loaning Grant and Yates to us. Playing for Notts has brought them both on massively. I wonder how much they will be laughing if Yates spends...

    Brentford

    At least we have some chance of getting through, probably more so against Swansea. Should hopefully get 10,000 for Swansea and something nearer to 15,000 for Wolves. If we get chosen for TV, that would earn us £177,000 too.

    Brentford

    Depending on the draw we get tomorrow, this win could define our season. A big pay day during the January transfer window could have a huge impact. A massive well done to Kevin Nolan and the players. I'm particularly pleased for Jon Stead, whose qualities aren't always appreciated by some of...

    Vale

    I thought it was a really good game. We totally dominated the first half but they came back strongly in the second. Lots of committed performances. Allesandra really impressed me. He always made himself available, held up the ball well and tried to get us moving forwards. It was a really big...

    Cambridge at home

    Just what the doctor ordered! That 7 point gap is very healthy at this stage of the season. Hopefully we can kick on against a Swindon team whose home form is similar to ours from 2016. An early goal for Notts would put their brittle confidence to the test, that's for sure. Let's finish off a...

    Cambridge at home

    An amazing comeback which shouldn't really surprise us with this Notts team. I thought we looked really good for the first 15 minutes but they gradually grew into the game. Their first goal did them the power of good and we struggled to respond resorting to long balls which generally ended up...
