@Wheelbarrow repair man Stockport are the best team in the division. They've won the league on merit. It was always going to be hard to win this match especially when we learned that Jatta and Macari were out injured. We know what the problems are with Notts. The same players make the same mistakes match after match but our squad is so thin we have to play them. With Baldwin, Brindley and Cameron at the back that gave me alarm bells and my concern was proved right. Next season Notts will have players that can play out from the back with confidence & will be comfortable on the ball, and will be League 2 Standard at least. This season is practically over but things can only get better, and it starts with Colchester on Saturday. Let's get to the end of the season with two wins, then the rebuild begins

@Fozzy I agree with you. I am optimistic for next season. We could easily have won this match without the individual errors. We know the players that are not good enough at this level and they should be released or transferred. With the right players we can challenge next season. We are very capable of winning our last two games and we should aim to do just that. With the pressure off, Notts can go out and express themselves to the full starting against Colchester on Saturday.

We got some pride back in that second half, Langstaff could easily have had a hat trick in the game. We know what the problems are, the defence tonight simply not good enough, Bostock and Didzy very dissapointing. Our three substitutes made some difference in the second half. We missed Jatta big time, we had no outlet, and I'm sorry but as soon as I saw who we had at the back, I was concerned that we would concede a few. We know where the changes need to be made and that will be done. I'm pleased we scored two, another for Macca and Dan. 88 league goals now scored. We should make over 90 now.

Another day of sunshine and showers is on the cards today

Your Tuesday Morning Weather

@Wheelbarrow repair man I think that it will probably be a Championship club that will probably bid for them. It would make sense to have them both in a package deal, Wrexham might be an interesting choice for them to go. Interestingly Notts could negotiate a deal that might include a swap deal plus cash for Macaulay and Jodi in exchange for a couple of Wrexham defenders or the same sort of deal could apply to Stockport too. Stockport were brutal when they left the NL by bringing in new players for league 2 when they got promoted, so they may also be attracted to a swap deal with Notts too Notts need two or three good defenders, a goalie and a defensive midfielder so there could be room for negotiation with both those promoted clubs.

Jodi winning the best player award and both Jodi and Macca winning places in the team of the season are both richly deserved. Our attacking unit at Notts has been such a big positive for the club and both players acknowledged the support of their teammates in getting those awards. The Club has something to be really proud of after the disapointment of making the playoffs this season . I do hope that Notts will offer both players improved contracts to try to keep them, but if they do want to leave in the summer, although it will be dissapointing, they both deserve to play in a higher league, and I'm sure not many Notts supporters would be grudge them that opportunity.

So on Tuesday evening we play Stockport in the rearranged game I congratulate Stockport on their promotion to League 1. This is a very important game for Notts even though it doesn't appear that they have much to play for now. Notts have a 3 match unbeaten run and I'm sure Maynard and the team will want that to continue & beating Stockport would mean that Notts have won three on the bounce for the first time this season. I believe Stuart should pick the same team that beat Walsall, unless Robertson is fit and continue with the Jatta Macaulay partnership up front Key areas will be our defence, as it always has been this season. Notts need to keep with the high intensity football, and ensure that we close Stockport down when they get the ball. Notts need to be alert at all times, especially on crosses and dead ball situations. As we know, Stockport will be very weary of our attacking prowess and Jatta will be a fresh problem for them to deal with. A score draw would be a good result but we are very capable of getting a win.
