Exeter is a team I feel we should play some good football against, however we have had a string of woeful performances and confidence is quite down. If we cannot get a point here or more, then I would be very disappointed. Like always, I will be cheering the players and trying to make an impact. However, I do feel it will be a very, very depressing afternoon and more so by the evening. I'm really not enjoying going to the Lane, it feels like a task - I know @Joe Jones feels the same way (probably worse) but this is the exact reason why a win would be good for all. McLeod needs to run for every ball and try his hardest to get shots away. Banton and whoever is on the wing need to be direct, Noble or the CM need to be creative and whoever plays in defence needs to be solid as a rock! Let's not rely on Loach to save us, go out and do it ourselves. Fullarton, make the right choices - build bridges and prepare our strongest 11 for this game. -
It makes a refreshing change but makes me wonder why the veterans at the club aren't doing more, this downward fall is a mix of things but the players need to step up. Literally, I would make the players look into a mirror before stepping on to a field. I forget the film, but I think Robert De Niro was the actor who did similar. Haha! #motivation

Pool fans say he's a decent defender, so we will see.

I can't see anything more than a draw at the best, Bristol Rovers would have to be poor and we may need to perform far better than we have against poorer teams. You never know with Notts though, we may pull something off - yet it seems unlikely. It's the current mood right now, I've asked plenty yesterday and during the week and it's not improving. Well I won't know the score until I finish celebrating a friends wedding, I'm taking the pictures! Wish me luck! C'mon NOTTS give us some PRIDE.

@NewNottsFan he deserves to be after Tuesday. I can't believe people complained about him in the first half, I felt he did very well - to say he hadn't really played first team football with the back four. Yes he shaky at first but he really came into it. Notts really need to go out more lively and build forwards by passing it along the ground. Myself, I would drop Atkinson - put Hewitt back there and find someone else to cover as CB. I'm not remotely impressed by Wes Atkinson, he looks to have potential but his ability right now is disappointing.
-
It's interesting to the opinions from other clubs, I have had a few e-mails from follow fans I know asking me what the hell is going on at Notts. I'm not sure any fan could easier this question.

The game was very, very poor. There's clear confidence issues, whilst it's debatable if tactics being tweaked could make a difference. For me, it was one of those games where we required two up top - for us to be more direct and slow with building momentum. I have no idea why we tried to repeatedly put high through balls to create chances, we didn't seem to have the muscle to turn any of the decent balls into to chances but again, I think this comes from the fact Stead played alone. Watching us defend the ball was very frustrating, none of the Notts players got stuck in or stayed with their marker. How many times did Dagenham play a through ball which split more of our own players, for their only player in support to burst through and get the ball easily? The crowd was behind Notts for the majority of the game. I sat at the top and joined in with the positives chants which some seem to have forgotten took place, solely due to the fact outcries poured out near to the end of the game. Neither side looked like 'winners' but the opposition worked better as a team, which in turn created better chances.

After watching one of my own pieces. 'Our Club, Our Passion' - I found myself watching this. It made me grateful that we are here and still existence, which in turn made me think about all the brilliant people I know (and how they support me). COYP!!

There’s much to be said about being a Notts County supporter, the togetherness I have witnessed and been a part of has really resonated with me. From the first time I witnessed a fan actually using the Pride of Nottingham site, to the friends I have made from within the community, it’s something I am very proud of. Truth be said, this club is much better than most probably realise and the years of struggling has only brought people together. Supporting a local club like Notts is all about the ups and downs, which we have mostly experienced but there have been good times – I’d like to see these return and for my own children to witness some of the success I have during my childhood. Naturally, this isn’t always the case but as with anything in life – it’s about making the most of what you have. For this reason, I hope to see the word we crave to return to Meadow Lane and that is ‘stability’. I have said a lot about my reaction to hearing official news from the club, which makes a change because for a while now it’s been going around the rumour mill. However, it really is time for all Notts fans to stand together and show that we care passionately about the club we support – as this small difference could have a huge impact on the field. Hopefully Jamie Fullarton will think about implementing missing players, who he hasn’t yet given a fair chance in my opinion but regardless, I will be cheering the lads on tonight and I hope others join in. I would just like to see the depressing atmosphere disappear in and around Notts, for Meadow Lane to return to what we all know it can be – I know it hasn’t quite felt the same and even the players can do their part by encouraging the support by being positive themselves. I hope to see them run out, warm up, and show us some passion. Because when you hear local reporters talk about other clubs, such as the likes of Leicester City – having a real buzz, it makes me want to try think on the positive side, rather than allowing their comments about us not having it sink in. As I genuinely do not believe Notts will get relegated, yet whilst it feels like this – it won’t make things easy. Let’s try to make a difference tonight, at least as fans we can try and get behind our club. Are you up for it? Below if you stick around, you find a video which is one of the most inspirational featuring NCFC - look in the comment section. C’mon YOOOOOUU PIIIESS!!

I think I've had a lucky escape, as my son won't be going tonight and I really don't like attending games by myself - luckily I've talked JJ into going. I'm still not nervous about the performance, though I am a bit about what reaction we can expect. I don't like the current mood, or some of the comments directed at players or even amongst supporters. If we keep the ball down, work it well and sensibly I am sure we can get something out of the game! it's important the players don't invite any pressure onto themselves. COYP! Not long now.

I for one will try to join in any positive singing, problem is few are prepared to get involved after being disappointed. I know what you're saying, it seems some are keen to do as you say but only a minority. Likewise, it's only a minority whom really want to make a difference. I know of fans who try to be positive, yet sometimes the support to lift the moment is there. It's like fans attacking fans for expressing opinions, currently with how people feel - it's just one of those things we need to move on from. I'd rather focus on the football myself, as most say - if they got down and did their bits people would back them. We need to see them go into the game and be positive, support will come because it's what fans do. Let's hope we don't allow the opposition in.
-
I actually feel positive about our approach to these. We have to go into the game confident, it's important - I didn't feel that way about Plymouth but losing 1-0 isn't that bad. If we can dust ourselves off and throw on some surprises, I think we should have more than enough. I just don't want to see anything negative, so I will give the club my full support - I will avoid making comments to JJ and Cobby about people who might be letting us down (in my opinion). Lets get all the points and stop this current downfall. COYP!
-
I'm not sure how we played, I didn't listen or really keep up-to-date with the score. I know they scored and that it ended that way (without further goals) but I have no idea if we put together a good performance. By the sounds of what fans have told me via Facebook, it would suggest it was a better response. That's promising - I'm looking forward to watching the highlights. See how the defence and so did. Hopefully we conceded a good goal, rather than one from a mistake or worse. COYP!
-
10 million? Oooooooo, pricey. 2 months? That explains things. Is it still the 'supporters' fault? 2 months ago, it could have been resolved and handled far better. Speculation or whatever, this comment still stands. Good luck to the Trews - roll on a new era!
-
I get the feeling we'll be overly defensive today which wouldn't bode well going forward. I'm pleased to see the response from fans who have gotten behind Notts, each person will be different but after recent news - the only way we can move forward is if we stand by what we support. Hopefully there won't be any trouble today, I'm quite sceptical that it won't be so plain sailing but provided we just give them a game - people will accept it. I hope today is more about the football! I can't see Notts winning, a draw at the best but it depends which team turns up. I would hope to read that Stanley is playing, as I would hope to see a solid line-up which consists of a good balanced squad. Not focused solely on defending, not over packed to attack - finely mixed. COYP!

Notts County put on a brave fight in the second half of their League Two game at Accrington Stanley but after conceeding three goals in the first half, the Magpies' could not undo the damage as John Coleman's side claimed all three points - the final score 3-2. Billy Kee put Stanley ahead after firing past Roy Carroll, and Rommy Boco then carefully timed his header to make it 2-0, after connecting with Piero Mingoia's cross to double the advantage shortly after. Boco then scored a brace after lobbing Carroll, yet in the second half after Jamie Fullarton's side made changes - Ronan Murray placed a well positioned shot from 12 yards which gave County hope. Adam Campbell then slotted in from the edge of the area, but the Magpies' was unable to score a late equalizer.

To win this we would need to put on a solid display and comfortable performance, I just don't see it happening. Plymouth are a very good side, one who is in far better form and we will have to see the defence to it's just, whilst more advanced players will be required to take the second half approach from yesterday's game against Accrington. I'm quite nervous about if we end up going on a losing streak, not due to relegation but more pressing matters which will only become worse by us not making things which matter count. I mean the best outcome I can see is a draw, yet I don't see it myself.
-
If only we had started off brighter, still it's a lose and I worry about what that will result in. I'm pleased we shown enough to get 2 back but we should never have gone 3-0 down. This team really does need to start learning, whilst Fullarton may learn from his changes. Good to see Murray and Campbell score! COYP!!

@tarquinbeech Honestly, I'm not worried about PON. I have faith in my ability and us as a fan base/community - I'm more concerned about seeing Saturday's aftermath being repeated. I feel it will, as I think more fans are pulling towards that way of thinking. I'm not even that surprised to see us losing to Stanley, yet it's not a good time. When Newcastle fans had their meltdown, it did more harm than good - have they managed to recover from it? Not really.
-
I'm not but I feel sick, I'm worried about us fans and what the future holds for the club we support. The score so far is quite negative within it's own right. I also highly doubt we will pick up - Accrington are one of those teams who thrive on things like this. Leading 2-0 so early, it could turn out worse. I'll eat my words which I said to DrivingmeNotts.
-
So, who's pressed the self destruct button. The score is absolutely a shambles, I said if they scored they would gain more momentum and @Riverleeno no - I doubt it. We could be on the verge of a catastrophic result here. The season really needs to end soon, 2-0? Already... Well done Notts
-
I haven't been paying attention to the Olympics, if I was totally honest I would say they have lost all their appeal which they once had. I don't even given our own the time of day when it comes to medals etc. That said, there are some which I keep an eye out (mainly runners). Also agree that it shouldn't take place if Brazil don't have the virus in hand. Last thing we need is for it to spread or for it to get out of control totally - it makes me curious why they stop the African Nations for fear of spreading a disease but not this?
-
I think it's not so much a case of foreign players but teams knowing how to make use of their ability. When you cook something, these days herbs and spices aren't uncommon to be added - whilst in the footballing world, managers insist that they know best and some do not give people chance to express myself. The perfect example would be Swerts, he looked very useful and now we have the missing Stanley Aborah - who do we fall back on? It's certainly not Gill Swerts because he opt towards releasing him. Like I try to mention, it's more about the clubs. I forget the Dutch defender in the 90's who played in the Championship, yet he was someone I always felt could cut it. Also, some teams have made it quite successful in dabbling in the market. Forest (hate to say it) managed to find some gems whilst in League One.

Milsom really should come back into the play. He wasn't afraid to take players on and looked good going forward. Valencic I don't believe will see another chance for awhile, likely we'll just see McLeod up top and Stead just behind him. I wouldn't play silly buggers against Accrington Stanley, they might not be world beaters but they do a good job as a unit. I'd try to keep the squad as close as possible to the previous games myself, perhaps dropping Atkinson. I think I could offer more after dislocating one of my knees than he does. Oooo, reading that back it comes across quite negative! Don't get me wrong I see the potential in him, yet we have let players go who offer far more (yes I know Cranston was a left back but still). Push Hewitt back on the right. Atkinson just doesn't offer us much, going forward his passing and crosses are mostly poor (as are his decisions). In defence he only really just manages to do the job in my opinion - he offers pace and not much else at this stage. Also, I'm not a fan of Hewitt in the middle - he's getting better but I hope we can settle back more.

I said after the first away win and sometime before that it would be a shame if we swapped home for for away form. I do think we have a good chance of winning provided any support that goes, focus on the fact we need three points. I know a lot is going off, yet I really don't care for that. That's between a group of fans and the board, I want to focus on the football and avoid the turmoil that can come. Jamie needs to be sensible and re-think his decisions, yet he's learning and will make mistakes. He just has to admit it. Stanley are a decent side, physical and scrappy in a sense. The game could very well be like we saw yesterday! I hope not.
