Match Discussion: Game 14 - The Alex (A)
Exeter face Luton Town later so that will be an interesting game to watch out for the score. Even Accrington have the chance of going top depending how the other results pan out, I think this will give less pressure for Notts which should mean for a more controlled game. We have been playing quite well away from home, so we should be fine. 3-0 Notts.

Match Discussion: Game 12 - Green Devils (H)
It was a frustrating game against Forest Green. I was impressed by how good they looked on the ball, very calm and collected within their passing. If anything I am annoyed that Notts looked like the side struggling for form and after the Mansfield game I expected better. I am sure Kevin Nolan will correct the performances but even the basics we failed with yesterday. 1-1 against them is not worth celebrating at all.

Match Discussion: Game 11 - Stags (A)
Nobody looks forward to visiting Field Mill, its one of the most depressing stadiums out there! @DangerousSausage The timing for us couldn't be any better, but I do think that we will have the pressure. Mansfield may allow us to attack opting to sit back and knowing what that fat donut chaser Steve Evans will be happy to just try to play the game against us. We need to be cautions that they don't score against the run of play... This years team will want a good result, so I hope for a decent performance.

Kevin Nolan: 'Jon Stead does not get the credit he deserves'
The last few games he has improved greatly but I think there is more to come from Jon Stead. The difference between Kevin Nolan's expectations and the fans is that we always want more, whereas Kevin has to manage the players. That said I agree that Jon will get the credit he deserves at the times he performs to the fans level of expectation (which he has been doing recently).

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The Grecians (A)
Surprise start to the game to go 1-0 up minutes into the first half. I thought the team defended bravely after a shaky period, the players re-group at half time. I don't know what Kevin Nolan said but whatever it was they came back out more determined. Richard Duffy was class tonight! Yet Ryan Yates stole the show for me. He worked very hard and his engine never stopped.

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The Grecians (A)
Well Exeter lost 2-0 to Coventry on Saturday and the game between us has been building up nicely. A 1-1 draw seems to be on the cards for me.

Match Discussion: Game 9 - The Imps (H)
As written by Chris the first half was a write off, neither said played well but the referee didn't help. Second half very entertaining, Lincoln City deserve praise for pulling level but its good to see Notts showing determination to get the lead back. Once we had it, it was never going to change. First time for a number of seasons where the majority of players seemed eager to score, anyone could have done today.

Match Discussion: Game 9 - The Imps (H)
I don't think we will see fireworks but a steady performance would be nice. Lincoln are not the best team in this division, far from it and so Notts just need to approach it in the right way. I think we will win 2-0 but it won't be easy!

Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Robins (H)
Well Swindon beat Luton coming off a two game defeat and a draw, so they don't seem consistent just yet. Much will go down to who plays better on the day.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Shrimps (H)
Very good win. Notts seem a much different team this season and Kevin Nolan has his side working towards a promising start. I know people are moaning that the football is not pretty or entertaining but you need the players to do that. Good managers make do with what they have! 2-0 is a fantastic result against a team Notts always seems to struggle against.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Shrimps (H)
Its a good chance for the club to push further up, Morecambe shouldn't be a team we worry about. If we play right it should be a victory for us.

Match Discussion: Game 5 - Valiants (A)
Good win but Port Vale could have easily got the victory themselves. In the first half they had a cracking chance which they wasted and the performance was not good enough. It was an awful game for both teams. Very scrappy.
