It might be an unpopular opinion but if I were in control I would scrap the playoffs & just go to maybe five up and five down for every league in the football pyramid. The thought of a seventh placed side beating a side that finished fourth isn't right in my book. I think that is totally unfair, that a one off game should decide whether a club is promoted or not, when a side as had to play 46 games to finish where they did. The playoffs are just a way of making more money for the TV companies & a smaller amount for those clubs involved. I think that the prize money for promoted clubs should be increased. Let's leave the one-off games to domestic cup competitions only.

It's going to be a 17,000 sellout out for the playoff 2nd leg.

Just a bit late this week to declare a winner. Apologies for that.I'm pleased to announce that Rod McDonald is the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match v Chesterfield. Well done Rod.

I think that Notts need to show the same application that they demonstrated in the first leg. It's going to take hard work & grit, to nullify Chesterfield's tactics. Notts are going to have to compete for every ball, all over the pitch. I suspect that Martin will pick the same starting 11 that he picked for the 1st leg. Chesterfield are going to have periods of pressure & dominance. Notts have to ride it out & take any opportunities that present themselves when they are dominating. I think that the midfield battle will be key to Notts success. Having Norburn and Robbo together, with Iorpenda & Luker further forward was key to Notts's success in the 1st leg, & I think it could be key in the 2nd leg too.

@Chris It's "topics" which is on "My activity streams". It would be great if "topics' were an option.

We saw a typical Martin Paterson inspired Notts County in the first leg. We need more of the same at ML on Saturday. Martin Paterson’s style of play focuses on aggressive, high-tempo, and attacking football, characterized by quick, direct transitions, intelligent pressing, and high-intensity work off the ball. His teams are noted for being well-organized, disciplined, and hard-working, often employing a flexible, high-pressing approach (Source Google)

@Chris I like the what's new badge. It would be great if the what's new badge was an option to have at the bottom of the front page.

I think it was a great team effort to get a positive result in this playoff 1st leg. I think the Notts defence played particularly well, & Luker is returning the confidence that Notts had with him when he became injured, but Notts were prepared to wait for him to recover. But my choice is Tom Iorpenda who was once again so influential for Notts.

Luker comes back to Notts after many months. Notts stood by him even though he had been badly injured. They wanted him back once he was fit, & it has paid off, because he's scored a massive playoff goal for us that gives us a small advantage for the 2nd leg.

A great win away in the 1st leg of a playoff final could be vital for Notts. It was a hard fought win in the end. So who stands out for you today for Notts. I have chosen the starting 11 for you to make your choice. Those players are, Belshaw, Ness, McDonald, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Norburn, Robertson, Jones, Iorpenda, Luker, Jatta.

Notts team to face Chesterfield.

Ryley Reynold's loan club Kidderminster has won promotion to the National League after beating South Shields 2:0 in the National League North playoff final. Ryley has played 42 games for Kidderminster this season. Great that he has a promotion to his name.
