In some ways I can understand the gloom and despondency from some, however, my hope - and belief -is that the players don't share that. There are five games to go and this relegation battle has all the hallmarks and indications of going down to the wire on the very last day. I'm sure Macclesfield and Yeovil would be delighted to know that Notts had thrown the towel in - it would make their difficult job so much easier.
I don't think that will happen with the Notts players at all. There's a twist and turn or three to come yet.
