Notts are still 2nd in the table

We all need to calm down.....we could lose the next two games and still be in the play-off spots

Mansfield would sell their own grandmothers to be in our position.

I got it wrong tonight predicting a 3-1 victory....but we weren't too bad....some of the stuff I'm reading on the Match Thread is completely bonkers.

In KN/AH we trust.....COYP

Wasting your time with some.

I honestly cannot fathom some on here.....I would've happily settled for mid-table after last season BUT I'm loving the ride at the top of the roller-coaster

If it doesn't work out then sobeit......I lose money backing Notts......but I'm enjoying it

Maybe I'm bonkers?....no need to answer that BTW

Absolutely true. I'm disappointed by tonight's result because the team have slipped below the standards they've set for most of August and September, but we've come a long way in the space of a few months and 2nd place must be exceeding most people's expectations.

Back in 2009/10 the Munto team underachieved early on and showed its strength later in the season. This team has probably overachieved so far and a degree of levelling off is happening, but the overall aim doesn't change. First get safe, and then see how much more we can achieve. At worst, this looks like a season where we will build on what has gone before, and it could yet prove to be an unexpectedly successful one.

Oh, come on, you're brighter than that.

Oh, come on, you're brighter than that.

I think what I've said above is reasonable enough.

Put it this way, I'm bright enough - and more to the point, experienced enough watching Notts County - to know that a team's very good results in the opening two months shouldn't mean we get carried away. Several seasons in the past couple of decades have seen us get off to a flyer only to fall back dramatically later in the season, sometimes into genuine relegation trouble.

That's not to say I think we'll struggle this time. If I was putting money on it, I'd bet we have a good chance of being in the play-offs come May, but I think the astonishing start we've made has probably seen expectations rise above what is realistic. Obviously I would love to be proved wrong though!

I've got around £200 riding on us getting automatically promoted......please don't mention the play-offs......grrrrr
