Notts county away

Quoted from nealeardleyscrossing

Not sure which locals you have been talking too, but we have lost once since Boxing Day , against Carlisle and we had 10 men for over an hour. I think the league has been strong, in that anyone can beat anyone on their day - I actually don't think there have been many weak teams - I just think we have been consistent and very hard to beat, which has set us aside. We will have to pay some cash though if we want to make any impression next year, as there are some giants in that league financially compared to ourselves.

Very tough league next year that one. I wonder if Bolton will cut their cloth accordingly or go for it. I expect Ipswich to throw some money at it. Luton are up and Barnsley will probably take the other automatic space but that leaves 1 of Sunderland, Portsmouth, Charlton, Doncaster, Peterborough or Coventry taking the other promotion place.

Some big established clubs with good fan bases in amongst that.

It is more of a footballing division than League 2 and it will be a step too far for some of your players, Rhead being the main one.

You have got some players that have played to a good standard though (Bostwick, Frecklington, Shackell, Eardley) so it will be interesting to see how you fare or if League 1 is beyond some of them now.

I do wonder if we will see some of your players deemed not good enough for League 1 arriving here.

I don't think you will be at the top end but you never know. You are on the crest of a wave so anything can happen. There is definitely a difference between League 2 and the top half of League 1 which is to be expected when you consider the difference between League 1 and The Championship.

Let's all be right about this macca is a good keeper, not great but good and he is a great shot stopper whilst being pretty capable in one and one situations..
Where he falls down is his distribution, kicks are aimed in a general direction in the hope we get an head in it and when he catches the ball from crosses etc he is far to slow to release it, which in turn gives the opposition all the time in the world to get back into position and snuff out another aimless punt up field..
I sometimes wonder if that is why Marcus Bignott couldn't wait to get a new keeper a la Dean Henderson and drop macca to the bench..

Macca is good enough, we have more problems in front of him. I'm sure he was up there in terms of most saves made in the division. Unless we jump up 2 leagues we're not going to get anything much better than Macca anyway.

I didn't insinuate he wasn't good enough, imho he's one of the best in the division .
But Maccas problems/deficiencies have nothing to do what's in front
As I've said it's his distribution, time and time again he likes up into the crowd when there's massive spaces to exploit and waits too long to release the ball out if his hands..all that said if he had developed this side of his game he would definitely be playing higher up the football echelons..

I just want to see Town finish on a high with three successive wins, and if one of those sends someone down into the non league game am ambivalent about that. We currently have two more points than we had last season, so despite everything that's happened we've improved - even if it seems like one step forward two steps backwards at times. Beat Crewe this weekend and then County, because we do these things in blocks, and we're on 59 points, a decent enough platform to build on for n
ext season.

Ooops.

700 +  tickets sold with 300 remaining up to now so there should be over 1,000 of us there.

Amazing what a win can do. Almost optimistic about next two games

So if a family are using this train for a day trip to Notts but don't support Town they cannot drink, one way of increasing our support I suppose!
