Think it said on the notts forum only 8 results in their 160+ year history had more goals than that game!

I’m struggling to think of many Town games that have featured 10+ goals. Other than yesterday, the 11 in the 6-5 win over Burnley in 2002, is the only one I’m old enough to recall.

Quite a few 9’s. Wrexham 5-4, Mansfield 7-2, err…Hartlepool 1-8. From a quick Google our record defeat was 9-1 away to Arsenal at Highbury, but that was in 1935, so it certainly seems a properly rare occurrence.  

Thank goodness the board didn’t listen to the calls of Womack out on the Fishy after that one.

Great result we would of taken a point against them before kick off.
Way better than a Hurst turgid 0-0.
My only observation i thought the keeper could of done better 3 of their goals where from 4 yards out or less.

Didn’t we put 10 goals past Man United in 2 days over Xmas?  Ok, a long time ago but they all count.

Bet 365 won’t give you odds on 5-5 unless you email them. Would probably be about 3 or 400-1
Though it should be more
In the foot stats database 5-5 has happened 29 times out of nearly 3m results

A bloke at work asked me on Friday about the game: I flippantly said that it would probably  be 5-5

I did not put my money where my mouth was !

It's the second 5-5 in league 2 this season.  The first being Wrexham vs Swindon earlier on, also with two goals in added time (both for the home team on that occasion).

Absolutely correct

It’s a great quiz question….who was only team to score 10 goals against manure in just over 24 consecutive hours…..

I think the last time we had a 5 - 5 result at home was in the
cup against Fulham sometime in the early 1950's.In those
days I usually was playing on a Saturday but we must have
had a free afternoon so luckily I got to the game.

My old memory isn't that good these days but I can clearly
remember Jimmy Bloomer heading our last minute equaliser
in front of the Pontoon .History repeating itself !.

So lucky to have to seen both games !

Especially yesterdays when our attacking game was good as
I've seen for years

It's great to see our players encouraged to express themselves
on the pitch and  play with some freedom

Yes, there's plenty of work still to be done and no doubt there'll
be a few wobbles on the way but for me, the signs are good

I am really surprised at some of the moaning about yesterday, an incredible game, unbelievable entertainment - it may not have had the drama of being a playoff semi but was just as action packed as the Wrexham game really. Far rather see that than a turgid 0-0 draw and technically it's a better result as goals count after goal difference.

Obviously we need to sort that defence out, personally think we need a new RB as well as the new CB, and I wouldn't rule out another CB on top of that (obviously we are gonna need to ship players out to pay for this). A new keeper isn't as pressing but I wouldn't say no unless it looks like we can make Cartwright our own player, otherwise we are allowing him to make his mistakes to benefit another club.

We seem to like having quirky records related to Man Utd, what two teams hold the record attendance at their ground again?
