Despite their injuries, MK Dons still have the potential to bounce back. But we Notts fans know that our team is more than capable of putting their resilience to the test. It’s going to be exciting to see how our boys, the Coins, handle the opposition’s attempts at redemption and what tactics Notts will use to keep our top spot. As we build up to the match, watching these two contrasting styles of play go head-to-head is going to be a real treat for all of us.

Luke’s wise words on staying focused and not getting carried away, despite being top of the league, is worth commending. This approach will prove vital in maintaining the squad's momentum.

This is a very important reminder! We can celebrate even more if we remain at the top after this weekend.

Ian Burchnall should fare better within the English game. It was strange seeing him pitch-side with Anderlecht in some of their televised games.

Tsimanga is an odd player because he appears to be of high quality, but he never performed well against Notts. He was injured for Chesterfield and his previous team when he played against us, if I remember correctly. Fleetwood really needs to make the most of the loan move.

MK Dons will likely feel the same as us, that it will be a challenging game. I have read that they have three players on international duty. I cannot confirm if this is true as I do not know much about them, but if it is, then fair play to them for not requesting for the game to be rearranged. This demonstrates a level of commitment to the league, their fans, and their desire to perform well. I would imagine that their decision may have been different if their form was poorer or if they had more players out. Nevertheless, their decision still deserves recognition. Hopefully, Notts will perform well.

Welcome to the PON site and forum. Hello from me too @Banquo.

Hello, @Corinthian88. Stick around and we'll make Notts your 2nd club or at least 2nd English club. Welcome to the community!

Three cheers for our warriors! Proud of our lads for this epic victory.

Good luck; I hope Tyrell Waite does well with his home club.

It’s good to see Notts at the top of League Two; there’s real potential that from here we can crack on. Though, I am tired of seeing fans comparing us to Wrexham. Their style suited Non-League; it doesn’t suit League Two as much as it did. They need to adapt; ours just needed fine-tuning and time to see the squad settle. There’s no doubt Notts was the best in the NL, and we can be in L2.

The signing isn’t one that leaves me speechless, which shows how spoilt we have been in recent seasons with the way the recruitment works. I have to say, be happy and hope the lad proves himself. He won’t be here wanting to have a picnic; he will want to play, and that should make him work hard. The question is, will Luke have faith in the two young loanees outside of cup games?

It makes me smile to see just how well Notts played. I have noted that fans are complaining less about the mistakes, some of which are valid points. Aidan Stone made several, but I do not see much criticism given to him about it, which is good. I do think it shows the difference between him and Sam Slocombe, who couldn’t do anything right in some people’s eyes. Both are so different from each other, but I still believe Slocombe has a role to play. Stone is also coming along in leaps and bounds, but I do wish he wouldn’t be so sloppy at times.

I think it will be a few months before Cedwyn Scott returns. Luke Williams and Notts don’t want to put a time frame on it until he’s closer to recovery. I don’t see many updates happening after this; look at the Will Randall injury. It wasn’t supposed to be long until he was fit enough for action, and that was said in the pre-season.

With Cedwyn Scott out, we may finally see what Junior Morias has to offer. I don’t expect many changes to the starting 11. Luke Williams should be encouraged by last Saturday’s performance and, where possible, avoid making changes. Tactically, Notts should be in a strong position because Accrington Stanley likes to have the ball themselves. Hopefully, Notts will enjoy the majority of it.

Connell Rawlinson - talks the talk, walks the walk. More power to him.

A draw would be a good result after the two recent defeats but getting back to winning ways would be a good boost for the Notts camp.

I would want Notts avoiding thinking this would be an easy 3 pointer because most of the sides would have felt the same about playing us until recently. I think the game has a draw all over it.

The win and performance is more solid than the last two draws, I take nothing away from them but its a solid foundation to build progress from.

Notts have to be sensible and confident going into the game, it's another one of those games that the club should be thinking about how to get three points from. A draw wouldn't seem good enough for me but it's all about progress at this stage.

Stead comes across as a very likeable guy, he's done well this season and he's quickly becoming a club legend. I don't understand why some portions of the fan base get onto his back.

Notts are a shambles this season, they have to go into half time either having pulled one back or preventing a third from going in. Re-grouping may see a spark. I feel the games lost at this stage.

A good performance could lift the players confidence, as would a clean sheet. They will be playing to keep within Kewell's plans tonight.

The result ruined my weekend but it could be worse, just think if we had not secured our safety before.

Audel is not a player I rate but under Cooper he has come into his own, performances by him are much better and consistent. Perhaps confidence is all him and the squad need to succeed?
