Notts are 16 points behind Barrow with a game in hand. To have any chance of catching them, Notts have to win this game. This has the potential to be a goal fest. Barrow score for fun, Notts aren't exactly goal shy. I'll go for 3-2 to Notts.

Given the state of the pitch, 3 points is massive. Notts have to be aiming for 2nd or 3rd to avoid that extra game in the playoffs and it's well within reach at this point of the season.

Their pitch is basically a sand pit at this stage. It's dangerous to play on IMO. Either the game should be switched to Meadow Lane or Notts get the points, it's not good enough for Fylde to get away with this again.

Well today is the day. I collect coins so I'll pick up the 50p. It's history, regardless of what side you are on.

Dover are a decent side. They haven't the best home record, but I have a feeling that will change tomorrow. 2-1 to the home team. Inih Effiong with both goals for the home side.

Fylde are doing pretty well at the moment. Won their last 2. They have almost an identical record to Notts. They have 4 wins and 4 defeats. They are a decent side and will cause problems but Notts should be winning this game. 3-2 to Notts I reckon.

Great win. Well deserved. At the risk of repeating myself, Notts have to be consistent and if they are, will be well in the mix for promotion.

BW won 4-0 at home to Stockport on Saturday. They are 1 point above Notts in the table. Their danger man is Kabongo Tshimanga. He has 7 goals so far. He scored 2 on Saturday. Tyrone Marsh is handy as well. 5 goals so far. JOB will be a big loss to Notts. A draw is the likeliest result I reckon. 1-1 is my guess.

Disappointing. The knives will be out for NA again. Notts are lacking consistency. Quality is there.

Bromley are unbeaten in the league. 6 wins and 5 draws. They are by no means a spectacular side, but they are consistent and that goes a long way in the Conference. Cheek and Hackett-Fairchild are their main threats, but they play as a team and they have a never say die attitude. It's going to be a difficult game but I fancy Notts to go there and win. Yes Bromley are 2nd, but no way do they have a good a side as Notts.

A game Notts should get something out of. Sutton aren't great. An uninspiring 1-1 draw I reckon.

3-0 flattered the home side. Notts could easily have scored 2 or 3. That's the positive, chances were created. Notts have a real issue with aerial balls into the box. Whether it's set prices or flick ons, the defending is dreadful. Not good in a league where a lot of goals come from set pieces.

3 words the opposition use to describe Solihull. Big. Powerful. Strong. When that doesn't work, they don't seem to have a plan B. They have lost 3 in a row after a flying start. Their dangermen are Blissett and McCallum. No sign of McCallum last Saturday so he might be injured. Blissett and himself are a handful. Blissett is isolated when McCallum doesn't start. I think they will go 5-4-1 if McCallum is missing. Notts have to have a high tempo. Harass them. If they do, Notts will win. 2-1 to Notts for me.

Yeovil have lost 3 in a row. On form, you would expect Notts to win. The last time Notts won at Yeovil was 2005. We lost both games to them last season, which was one of the reasons why we got relegated. If I were a betting man, I'd stay well away from this game, it's too difficult to call. If I had to make a prediction, I think it will be a 2-2 draw.

Some 2nd half. Shows what this squad is capable of. It's the weakest Conference in years, Notts need to take advantage of that.

A home game against the second worst side in the division. Nothing less than 3 points is acceptable. I'd take 1-0.

No point dressing it up. Awful result against a poor side. Monday can't come quick enough.

Ebbsfleet are dead last and let's be honest, it's not by accident, it's because they are a poor side. Lost 5 out of 5. -9 goal difference. 4 goals scored in 5 games. 13 goals conceded in 5 games (most in the division). Notts simply have to win this game. Anything less would be shocking. 3-1 to Notts.

Notts let this one slip away. Poor finishing cost Notts 3 points. Still it's 2 games unbeaten so we'll take that and move on.

Wrexham are one of the best sides in the division. 7 points from 12 so far. Their away record is not great, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Mark Harris is their danger man. 3 goals in 4 games. Bobby Grant is suspended. At least I think he is. Wrexham were going to appeal his red card, but he didn't play last Tuesday so chances are he won't be playing at ML which is a big boost for Notts. This is a huge game for Notts. It's a chance to send a statement of intent. Wrexham are missing 2 key players so it's a 2-1 home win for me.

A badly needed win. The big bonus was a clean sheet away from home.

Harrogate made the playoffs last year. They have 4 points out of 9. Lost 1-0 at Woking on Saturday. Jon Stead made an impact off the bench and was unlucky not to score. They are strong at home. I'll go for a 3-1 home win. Notts are all over the place at the moment. Harrogate are well organized. Stead to score against us.

That was sobering. Barnet had a game plan and executed it. Notts looked lost and were making it up as they went along. Do Notts practice defending set pieces? You wouldn't think so based on the games up to now.

Barnet are unbeaten. 1 win. 1 draw. They play good football, might suit Notts as they won't sit back. They are very dangerous on the counter so Notts have to keep control of the ball, not give it away with silly passes. I'll go for 1-1.

Meadow Lane should be a fortress. Team should fear coming here. Stockport figured out that there was a point for the taking with half an hour to go and went for it and got it. Notts need a target man big time. Upset the opposition. Drawing at home to Stockport is a bad result. No denying that.
