Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

i am looking forward to getting back to meadow lane.

i think notts will do better in 2020, at the moment there is a lot to be optimistic about and i think this will only rub off onto the players if we can keep it up.

Who knows what the injury list is like ! Kelly-Evans must play in my opinion......

If Notts gets the ball down, presses high and ensures each pass allows forward round to be won - we'll be fine.

It's going to be good to get back to Meadow Lane.

Wes Thomas and Kyle Wootton up top!

Alex Lacey and Connell Rawlinson at the back, Notts will be rock solid.

I think i'll wait for the line up tomorrow.

Winning ways in 2020, especially due to the game being the first home match at Meadow Lane. Neal Ardley needs to get the players fired up!

We are unbeaten throughout the whole of 2020  Keep that up and I'll be happy enough. A win would be a great result bearing in mind where they are in the league and would put us within shooting distance of them.

They had us well beaten in September from what I remember, but hopefully we've come a long way since then. Fingers crossed.

Very big win for Notts today.

The overall all performance was spirited, a lot of grit and fight. It wasn't always the best, yet it shows we can win ugly.

Some very good play in spells, and those final minutes felt edgy.

Great win.

decent first half, poor second. the players did well to win, it feels a little undeserved but who cares? good win.

It puts us in the play offs and a good result so no matter on the play its 3 points.

When a win feels like a defeat???? Yes we won ugly and put the bodies on the line... but on the other hand, I am worried about the cluelessness that we didnt seem to know what to do in the second half. Midfield was too static, front two suffered from lack of decent service...or maybe my standards are too high

What a win! Wait, I’m not getting carried away! Promotion here we come. ????

Not the best game, good 3 points with some good play. Pleased Osborne got the assist for the first goal. Also, it was good to see the squad kick on after being pegged back.

It felt like a big game yesterday, a real chance to solidify our position at the right end of the table. Bromley were your stereotypical non-league side, big, physical and all about loading the box. That’s all they did, hit it long and play for set-pieces/long throws but we defended our box really well, made for an excruciating last 10 minutes mind!

It was proper battling win, Rose & Doyle did well considering they were outnumbered in the midfield. The back five were great, Connell Rawlinson the stand out for me, he was outstanding!

Ref was bad. Missed the pen. Missed the red for Cheek on Rawlinson. And Bush should’ve been sent off way before he actually was…

December was a vital month, it's been a difficult campaign but things are improving. Notts did what was needed yesterday, it is an important win but I would voice caution because we seem like one of those teams that can just become poor again.

Hopefully, yesterday was a sign of more to come.

It felt good to annoy Bromley, their players seem about the standard of this league. All thinking they're special.

Key win which will be vital for any bid with promotion this season.

There's no reason why Notts can't do what Mansfield did when they got out, they won the majority of their remaining games and took the league by storm. For us, this will require a lot of focus but the Bromley win shown we have some true grit.

It sounded quite nerve wracking, clearly Bromley felt up for the game but good defending secured the points.

Great win on paper, winning without having to do too much is a bonus. Form is more important than ever now, I would just like to see the performances lift a bit more but I agree winning is the bigger picture.
