Notts County (H) League One Friday 3 Apr, 3pm

[otiswfc]

Mick Halsall is assistant manager to Hart that can't be good for us he will know our style inside out but saying that a trained chimpanzee could figure out how to play against us at home,what's worrying is if we don't score early the player's will become very nervous iv got a feeling the crowd will be about to turn as well if we don't get a decent result and performance.

[PT]

After Orient's win at Coventry last night, Notts are now in the bottom four but just three points behind us (effectively four given big goal difference variance in our favour). If we put them six point (effectively seven) behind us tomorrow, things look a lot better. If however, they beat us it really is squeaky bum time.

In other words, tomorrow has become mossiv.

Come on lads!

The next 2 home games are as key as key can be. 4 points and we'll probably stay up, 6 and its definitely given the GD in our favour.

Problem is that unlike otis, I dont think that the chimp would actually need any training to work us out. I fear personally.

[paddy]

Not confident at all as the game gets closer. Bradshaw missing the 2 games, we could find ourselves in the bottom 4, come Monday

Crawley are at Crewe tomorrow as well, win for them, with us losing & we're right in the mire

[Big Dave wfc]

A massive hang up on here about smith not playing the young lads, it's a good case in terms of kinsella an Henry, but the rest just simply are not good enough! When you seen the likes we have had here, Pato fryatt deeney, you looked at them and thought they had something, same when I look at kinsella an Henry, I see Flanagan Morris bakayoko murphy Benning and don't get the same impression of quality. Lots of things have gone wrong this season bar a trip to wembley. A squad full of mediocre with the spine of potentially a good side.

Hoping for 1/2-0 have a bad feeling though

Please prove me wrong saddlers!!!

[paddy]

In fairness, Bakayoko, Morris & Murphy haven't been given any serious game time to prove they're good enough.

I don't really think Kinsella and henry have had near enough of a run out, but you can just see the gap in quality, just my opinion, don't get me wrong I would like nothing more than to see the others mentioned come good and become great players for us, just cannot see it.

[Bitter Tree Hugger]

No mistakes, just get the game won and send the Sadpies down.

Flanagan dosen't look good enough to me and he's had plenty of chances this season.

Yeah I'm just baffled why Kinsella has been completely binned from the squad when he played well the first few weeks. Do none of these journos ever ask Smith why?

Kinsella, Flannagan, Morris, Bakayoko, Murphy let's be honest none have had enough game time this season very baffling when you consider we've been cack all season I could understand if we we're flying high in the league but none of the mentioned players could possibly have done any worse and at least they'd be more experienced and ready for next season if given a chance.
fudge off Smith clueless clown
I'm now off down the town to drink enough beer before 3pm to endure what lies ahead.

What he said.

Thus is an easy home game against limited opposition and all the pant-wetting hand-wringers should go suck each other for being so nervous.

An easy 2-0 or 3-0 win for the lads.*







* past predictions are not a measure of future performance and this game may not be against a limited opposition. Fellow fans are indeed entitled to their own point of view, and may exercise same after they've wrung out their pants.

For what it's worth, the bookies think we've got it pretty easy......pre-match odds:

Walsall to win: Evens

The draw: 12/5

Notts County to win: 14/5

But this is Walsall we're talking about, so what on earth do they know?? :mrgreen:

Story of our season so far aye it!
Sad that only the die hard happy clappers have given us so much as a chance against County, shows what little confidence is felt about the current squad. :?

Thankful that on turning on the BBC at 3.15'ish it did not show 0-1 as has been the case so very often this season....keep 'em out lads, and try to remember that the aim of the game is to score goals! :D

Preston North End 1 Rochdale 0 (37 min)

Scunthorpe 1 Peterborough 0

From the BBC report they'm all over us like a rash! This is Notts County.... NOT Barcelona!
Man up lads for crips sake!

Says it all really...... :(

Still, 0-0 at HT and all to play for.

County are crap and showing why they're down the bottom.
Unfortunately we're just as bad and showing why we're only just ahead of them in the table.

Our attacks like usual have all the impetus of a tortoise.
Half the time players seem to not have a clue what each other is doing. God knows what they do in training.

Also Sawyers may get stick for being weak but the whole team is just as bad.
The amount of times we've been nudged off the ball is a joke.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Second half starts at 0-0....no substitutions.

Dingles take the lead at Nottingham Forest, which lifts them into the play-off zone. :roll:

Yeovil making a fight of it...they now lead Chesterfield 2-1.

Port Vale 0 Colchester United 1 :shock:

[otiswfc]

[Welsh_Saddler]

Cook hits the bar with a short range shot following a corner......

...and two minutes later he manages to hit the left post.

Do you get the feeling that it's going to be one of those days??? Stand by for a County winner in the 89th minute??

[cumbria-saddler]

Sounds like Cook could have had 5 or 6 by now!

[BathSaddler]

Yeovil 2 Chesterfield 2 now...
