I completely understand your use of the form book but after a 6-1 Victory you could say its out of the window, we are playing the best football in a long time. You could forgive us for thinking we may be able to sneak something here.

We have the players to cause you problems, all we need to do is keep our head all over the pitch.

I don't want to predict because I dont know.


Completely understandable, cracking result for you as well. I did watch the goals, highlights ect.. and can't see you getting the opportunity to be able to score most of those - especially the two Butler goals? or the ones which were headers or from corners ect.. we're probably the strongest team in the air in this division. Hence if you watched us V Man City aerially they didn't have a chance v Pearce and Edwards even with Jo 6ft 2-3 who was woeful and that Bosnian Dzeko they paid stupid money being 6ft 4, they only could compete by getting round behind us with speed. I think a lot of people underrated us - teams don't like playing against us Bishop and Ravenhill in the middle are absolutely fearless. Should be a scrappy game today, even though we've loss Davies we've gained a better attacking player in Alan Gow who can still whip in a great ball!

Although similarly you could say we might be over confident and just going by paper stats we should be. Hoping for a good game though :)



All I can say is you wont be able to tame MatT ' Xavi ' Richards

I hasten to add a Mr L. Hughes will be present tonight. A player who makes a massive difference for us, when he's playing we play 50-70% better, if he doesn't start and come on as a sub you'll notice the difference in play almost immediately. I would be more concerned for you about the sheer amount of goals your team has leaked lately, 24 to our 6 and we've played against 2 top 6 p near full strength premiership teams. I personally believe that if Notts weren't to take 3 points tonight I would be disappointed purely biased on form, results and previous encounters.

Matt Richards was easily "tamed" at your ground, we also tamed.. Barry, Milner, Viera..

Since Smith has taken over we look to get in behind the back all the time, our long ball game has been dropped for a much better passing game, which suits us with our reletivly short squad, how Htuchings could ever thing hoofing long balls to Macken upfront would ever work is totally beyond me!

It has taken months (maybe years) to get our passing Walsall side back and now we are faced with this excuse for a pitch - beach football anyone?

It's working for me too, a few others are having the problem too though, not just you.
The Notts fan makes me laugh so much, makes out that they're the best side in the league.
Bordering on as stupid and boring as the Norwich fans last season, but atleast they had a reason to be so over confident!

Sounds like we are under a fair bit of pressure after a pretty even start. Defending well so far though.

I am listening live on Radio BBC Notts.

Even-ish game with Notts just having the slight edge. I do think they might just score in the 2nd half if we don't up our game a bit.

Commentator says we are playing much better than the game in Jan. Totally diferent side and a good game :)
