I have purchased two tickets, I don't want to be greedy but to support PON. ????

I gave up listening and went about my day after the second goal, same story with Notts. You hope for better but expect the worst. Relegation now seems confirmed unless this spineless squad can show some sort of fight.

If Notts had more home games than they do survival might have been more optimistic for me but games like this just adds further nails into the coffin. I have little confidence in any of the players ability to lift the spirits.

It wasn't a bad performance, but at the same time it wasn't good either. Overall it was just very flat and effortless, Notts was setup to defend. The plan was to hoof under pressure, hoof when in possession and hoof just for good measure. Neal Ardley failed to instruct the players that the game was important to win, he didn't even see that Port Vale was there for the taking IF performances levels lifted. It was like a club wanting to settle for a point because that outcome was good enough. In the case for Notts it simply wasn't. The lack of efforts on goals stems from the boring tactics.

Big game, a fair amount of pressure and I have no idea at the moment how to call this game. Port Vale seem one of those teams who do well and play poorly in others.

I am more than happy to support PON, I realise that the site not just costs a lot of time but also money. I have thrown a fiver into this but would pay for the prints if I won. ????

Once home I will have a go on this. Good luck!

Defensively Notts doesn't look able to stop Colchester United. Good attacking play, Dan Jones has done well on the left side but I am dubious of Cedric Evina and Richard Duffy looks a shambles.

1-0 down already, easy move and well taken goal by Colchester. I am unsure playing Evina on the right is the best thing because Notts looks very poor at the back so far. The midfield need to get a grip of the game otherwise I can see this ending 4-1 to them.

Terrible performance, Notts just can't compete with teams away from home. It was a very disappointing performance that lacked heart and fight. Nothing more to be said. Grimsby Town deserved the win and scoreline.

I think Tranmere will make it hard for Notts to break them down, playing the ball in the air will probably suite Notts better but chances would be few and far between. Notts needs to show some real desire to fix the issue. A relegation battle is not what this club needs, a few wins it could all be different but it will take a lot of hard work. Tranmere seems a well polished team, so Notts might struggle tomorrow.

Mansfield have played well during both half. They deserve the three points because of this and Notts lack pace, they lack ambition and fight. It was a terrible second half performance.

Just win Notts for the confidence and to get the wheelbarrow patched up, a good performance and result could help with the game against Mansfield.

I can't be the only Notts fan that pondered how the hell Carlisle wasn't winning by 2 or more goals before half time? I am surprised Notts even scored by how they played, a good brief spell where they looked confident and good on the ball. Yet it was only short lived, I never thought Notts would have found the net. A draw seems lucky to me.

Morecambe will get a scrappy 2-0 win, I have little faith right now.

Three faults from the performance and Cheltenham game for me. One striker No actual leader on the pitch A verbal but nonsense Richard Duffy returning and being made captain What was Chettle thinking? Half time he should have made the required changes because it was obvious the second half would only get more difficult. I felt more annoyed at the squad selection than anything else. It was never going to win!

Would have rather seen it in the League or F.A Cup than this, that's all. It means little to anyone.

Wrong cup if you asked me, there's no money in this and the F.A Cup could have founded much more but Notts are out now. Quite poor if you asked me.

The game plan should be to keep the ball on the ground and proceed to playing it quickly down the flanks, I think the main area to slow the game down is the middle of the park. If we use the flanks to be direct, the pace Notts has can and will be a benefit to the performance. Boldewijn and Stead can't be the only players pushing to create a scoring chance. So this is something that must improved and it should start away at Bury, Hemmings for me is missing a few goals and if he could get on the score sheet I think he would be a massive player.

If she plays for Liverpool ladies now, why is this all of a sudden news again? A lot of the ladies team must have had it hard but Chris Wood seems to be either stupid or has some form of grudge on Notts. Is he paid peanuts at Burnley?

I wouldn't change too much but I can't see how Harry Kewell can risk playing Jon Stead for another 90 minutes. It's time to get Kristian Dennis in and see if he can make a difference, Kane Hemmings can't be dropped. He holds the ball up the best and is able to put in those useful passes that lead to goals.

I think it will be a 1-1 draw, they seem to be in good form as do we at the moment. I don't think either sides will risk that.

Interesting to see how the Crawley fan spoke about Rob Milsom, he's been pretty average since returning but people seem to rate him for some reason?

I don't find what Kewell says to be interesting half of the time, he speaks things that are the same but just said differently.

Crewe look very poor, the only good thing I can see is that they are capable of scoring. It's going to be interesting to see who comes out on top, if any.
