Can we hold on this time - COYP's

[AltyPie]

Perhaps we'll have a better chance now we're playing against ten men and a chicken.

Let’s hope it doesn’t prove to be their clucky charm.

Has something happened? Sorry I'm on a bus here so no access to the game

Bring it over and stick it in front of the Notts goal, last 5 would you please?

[AltyPie]

Ha! Uncanny! It was only 5 weeks ago that I said it was fairly unlikely Notts would go a whole season without winning a single game.

At last

At last

Out of the relegation zone and only 10 points off the play-offs!

Sadly, there seems little interest in match threads anymore, even on the day of our first win of the season. it seems like a waste of time and effort - for that reason, I wont bother with them anymore

Dreadful goal to concede.....floated cross into the Notts penno box, a huge swing of the leg by the Hulk, completely misses it and the ball bounces off his arm? 2 yards to a completely unmarked Crewe player....early Xmas pressy for them.

Fitz has had two dodgy moments, a two-fisted punch that went all of 5 yards and landed on the edge of our penno box, and a clearance from a back-pass that turned into a daisy-cutter straight to a Crewe player.

Going forward we look pretty decent, the goal was an excellent combo of Hemmings twisting and turning inside their box, smashed a cross low-n-hard to Stead who gifted a ball to Milsom arriving late, classy goal.

Milsom almost got a straight red for a high tackle in midfield, Hewitt is a bit meeeeeh, Enzio is being double and treble marked, Evita looks decent overlapping with Aless.

Superb 2nd half from Notts, the key was Enzio and Aless swapping wings and both suddenly found loads of space and switched on the afterburners......the 2nd Notts goal came from a delightful cross from the constantly overlapping Evita, straight to an unmarked Hewey at the far post.....after that we piled on the pressure and could have had more goals, with Aless, Enzio, Stead and Hemmings all taking pot-shots at a shaky Crewe defence.......Fitz kept us in it with 2 excellent saves, for our first win of the season (our worst "winning start" since 1977?)

Sweaty rowlocks near the end, but we hung on......onwards and upwards.

Yesssss!!! Nervy last 20 minutes but a deserved win in the end. Fitz had a good second half, as did Enzio, Cedric (my MOM), Steady and Louis. No idea why HK kept Stead on as he was dead on his feet after 70 minutes. Seemed obvious to swap him for Dennis, but we rode our luck - especially with two or three dangerous crosses from their left winger and a good save from Fitz low to his left. COYP!

What exactly are you basing this on?!

Missing you already by the way.
