Great result and performance tonight. Made up big time for coming over for the postponed game.All the fans who travelled on that Saturday and again tonight desereved that tonight.

Happy trip back to 'Bucket & Spade land tonight !

If we were 8th and still 6 pts behind Wimbledon with a game in hand, you'd feel we were very much still in it, but the amount of other clubs we have to be better than for the rest of the season to grab 7th does make it look a lot less likely.

Crawley are 5 points in front and have a game in hand on us. Don’t get carried away.

...fair comment but I don't think many of us are getting carried away,it's just nice to see us win again with a bit to spare.

Not suggesting we will go close to a push, however, Crawley have a few tough games which include away to Tranmere (in form at home), Mansfield, Wrexham and Barrow (away) among others to play.
IF, and it’s a big IF, we can pick up 9 points from the next 3 games, then a final push is possible.
What we want is a good solid ending to the season so regardless of where we finish we take some momentum in to next season.

We just need a strong finish regardless of the play offs. There can’t be any excuses now, as much as Maynard’s had a hell of a start I would say tonight and Newport away were probably our best 2 away performances of the season.

In fairness to SM the majority of goals conceded under his tenure were down to individual mistakes, not the system, not lack of motivation. He's been unlucky. Good performances against Mansfield and Wrexham but no return. Deserved at least a point from each. A couple of dire defensive performances of course, Gillingham especially, but we are fragile defensively at the best of times. That's something the new MT gave inherited and without personnel change it will continue to haunt us. Doesn't help that Macca has missed a fair number of chances that earlier in the season he would have put away. Anyway, great effort tonight. We'll done lads!

Thought Cameron had a good game as did the whole team, none of the daft mistakes, team played with the confidence they previously had, tactics just right, golie played well, clean sheet. Well done Notts, 6 pts off play offs, something to dream about.

I’ve just got home after watching the match from the corner diagonally opposite the Notts fans. I can’t agree about “none of the daft mistakes” - there were several, but mostly we recovered from them. Bradford had one excellent attack when they hit the post and should have levelled, but mostly we were in control and thoroughly deserved 3-0.

I’ve completely written off the playoffs but it’ll be nice to look forward to a home game on Saturday and a first home start for Jatta and hopefully a first home win for Maynard.

If onnnnly we hadn’t lost those 4 home games, maybe instead beaten Sutton and one other. Oh well.
