[marshall55]

How as Stead kept his place.

[60YearsAPie]

How as Stead kept his place.

Apart from the manager, I doubt there's anyone else who can answer that question.

[irishpete]

For me when away you want pace up front,at times you will be under the cosh,quick break can produce goals.Ameobi/Forte or Alessandra would be ideal.

[BanjoPie]

How as Stead kept his place.

?

[jackal2]

How as Stead kept his place.

Good question. Forte was entitled to be selected today on merit.

Kevin Nolan can have all the "frank" and "positive" discussions he likes with Jon Forte, but when the lad delivers what was asked of him and then gets relegated back to the bench in favour of another player (Stead) who hasn't shown he is worthy of the place, it's surely going to put doubt in Forte's mind.

[Oldstripy]

0 - 1 Duffy from Jones cross.

[Oldstripy]

0 - 2 Own goal.

[SwalePie]

0 - 2 Own goal.

Get in! According to the Beeb we have 69% of possession so far...oh and we just went 5th in the live table :)

[irish_pie]

0 - 2 Own goal.

What a start this is!!!

[irish_pie]

What a start this is!!!

I only have bbc sport here and it says 69% possession and 4-2 on goal to 0 for Wycombe... sounds excellent so far

[uysapie]

Sounds like the second was a comedy goal.

[jackal2]

I suppose we don't have to worry about the Stead v Forte argument if centre-halves from both sides are scoring for us!

[SwalePie]

Sounds like Dan Jones is (at last!) having a decent game today too

[irish_pie]

Sounds like Dan Jones is (at last!) having a decent game today too

If we can hold this we will finally go into a positive goal difference... when is the last time we had one of those :) cracking so far from the boys

[JoePass]

What was your prediction Sid ?

[irish_pie]

To be honest Joe I couldnt see a win today either, Wycombe starting the season really well, first lets get to half time at 2-0 and then slate the sidders :)

[Wedgie_pie]

What was your prediction Sid ?

I feel one of my famous 3-3 coming on....

[the_anticlough]

Just got in from work, stunning scoreline.
Getting thru to HT without them scoring will be key.

[BigFatPie]

2-0 dangerous score ??

[JoePass]

To be honest Joe I couldnt see a win today either, Wycombe starting the season really well, first lets get to half time at 2-0 and then slate the sidders :)


I will slate him anytime :P

[irish_pie]

I will slate him anytime :P

Would be a boring board without you Joe ;)

[irish_pie]

0-2 at half time :) cracking stuff so far boys

[the_anticlough]

62% possession at HT - impressive

[Oldstripy]

HT 0 - 2 when was the last time we went in at half time 2 up?

[the_anticlough]

Yeovil 5th, Luton 9th - so much for 8-2 on opening day

[irish_pie]

Second half under way, no changes so far

[the_anticlough]

Second half under way, no changes so far

Double substitution for them - a bit desperate

[SwalePie]

Not bad so far...

6043

[SwalePie]

Bugger.

[irish_pie]

Sorry I meant for us, they were really having a go the last 5 minutes of the half, would be an impressive result if we can hold on or even add to it

[irish_pie]

Oh dear :( their second half substitute scores straight away :(

[jackal2]

Calm heads needed!

[irish_pie]

Calm heads needed!

Would u make some subs now Jackal?

[SwalePie]

Hawkridge and Yates both receiving attention after injuries :(

EDIT: Hawkridge OK and Yates back on after receiving treatment

[irish_pie]

Hawkridge and Yates both receiving attention after injuries :(

EDIT: Hawkridge OK and Yates back on after receiving treatment

Oh dear not good news at all :( time for Milsom and Alessandra maybe

[irish_pie]

Hawkridge and Yates both receiving attention after injuries :(

EDIT: Hawkridge OK and Yates back on after receiving treatment

Cheers Swale, hard to get any info from here

[SwalePie]

Cheers Swale, hard to get any info from here

Sounds to be getting a bit physical out there, Hewitt just crunched too. Hawkridge apparently got a bloody nose and Yates a head wound

[BigFatPie]

Bit tight this, could go either way

[SwalePie]

Alessandra and Forte warming up

[SwalePie]

Bugger. 2-2

[irish_pie]

Ah god damn it!!! been coming the last 15 minutes :(

[Warnocks Legends]

We need to bring some fresh legs up front.4 games 7 goals non from strikers, that's what is costing us

[irish_pie]

Forte on.... come on boys

[jackal2]

Would u make some subs now Jackal?

I certainly would now! :s

Somebody once said experience is the most overrated commodity in sport, and this proves it. We've got a very experienced side who, in theory, should be able to manage a game from 2-0 up, but they haven't done it since half-time.

[BigFatPie]

Heard a stat this week that 90% of teams that go 2-0 up in the premier league win the game.

Wonder what it is for us?

[irish_pie]

Its chance after chance for Wycombe.. this looks ominous :(

[irish_pie]

Alessandra on for Hawkridge....

[jackal2]

Hopefully we can hang in there and repeat what we did at Leyton Orient last season.

[Warnocks Legends]

Come on lads dig in deep.massive team effort needed now.

[sidders]

Like I said, I feel a stinging defeat coming on.

[irish_pie]

a very disappointing second half for sure... they have had 8 attempts and scored twice, we have had 2 attempts with both off target

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Our old habit of conceding two goals a game has come back to haunt us. It just makes it more difficult to win football matches.

Hopefully we can sneak another goal because ia draw will feel like a defeat from being 2-0 up at half time.

[Warnocks Legends]

Bit defeatist saying we will lose!!! Notts still have a chance but we desperately need to sign a striker or 2!! With legs and goalscoring pedigree

[JoePass]

Like I said, I feel a stinging defeat coming on.


Keep hoping, you never know.

[Oldstripy]

Yes Forte 2 - 3

[jackal2]

Get in!!!!!

[irish_pie]

Yes yes yes and f@@king yes!!!!

[Warnocks Legends]

GET in there !!!!!!! fully deserved by Forte who played very well against Everton too and must surely be given a start next Tues against Accrington

[JoePass]

Like I said, I feel a stinging defeat coming on.

;D:P

[jackal2]

Jonathan Forte the difference. Who knew?

[irish_pie]

For gods sake KN please play Forte off Shola in future, Steads legs have completely gone which is a shame

[irish_pie]

;D:P

Wait for it Joe......

[CmonUSexyStylishPies]

Like I said, I feel a stinging defeat coming on.

I feel another disappearing act coming on.

[the_anticlough]

Jonathan Forte the difference. Who knew?

So glad to see its Forte - a much better partner for Ameobi. Almost everyone on here knows it.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Jonathan Forte the difference. Who knew?

I think the argument for a Forte/Ameobi partnership up top has just got that bit stronger and he appears to have saved the day.

If he's not worthy of a start now then he never will be in my opinion.

[Warnocks Legends]

Agreed.Stead should be nothing more than an impact sub now.Much better partnership .yeah yes yes point proved 4-2

[Oldstripy]

2 - 4 Alessandra, you pies

[SwalePie]

4-2 Alessandra!

[upthemaggies]

Great stuff Notts.
Shows some character to recover from the blow of surrendering a two goal lead to then go on to win 4-2.

[irish_pie]

Yes yes yes yes!!!!! Both subs on the scoresheet!!! what a great day this is

[the_anticlough]

''Shola Ameobi (Notts County) is shown the yellow card for excessive celebration.'' What did he do?

[jackal2]

4-2!

[Big Bob]

Oh yes!!! Great stuff

[the_anticlough]

Absolutely right, upthemagpies.
This is going to give a massive boost to the team's confidence

[JoePass]

[quote=sidders;38626710]like i said, i feel a stinging defeat coming on.[/quote:


:O

[Warnocks Legends]

Great character and like I said fresh legs upfront and hey presto we are gonna win the match.well fought well player Notts well subbed Kevin

[irish_pie]

Jeff Stelling just said " former Hartlepool player Alessandra puts Notts County 4-2 up ".... i was out making a coffee and bloody spilled it everywhere!!!

[SwalePie]

Big ruck going on...not sure what's gone off!

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Whilst we may have been 2-0 up at half time and surrended this and conceded two goals, we have shown and demonstrated good fight and character to be resolute and take our chances to go 4-2.

We may not be a perfect side in defence and up front, but if we are a side with fight, desire and commitment then that will win us more games than we lose.

[i961pie]

So glad to see its Forte - a much better partner for Ameobi. Almost everyone on here knows it.

Except Freeman:P

[the_anticlough]

Mansfield lose at Accrington

[irish_pie]

Done and dusted, absolute cracking result today, cant remember the last time we scored 4 in a game... anybody?

[BigFatPie]

What a corkin win that is!!'

Mansfield and Lincoln lost haha.

[Oldstripy]

FT 2 - 4 Well done Notts showed some great character.

[upthemaggies]

I'd imagine most would have taken four points from the first three games, six is certainly more than I thought we'd have at this stage.

[Old_pie]

Like I said, I feel a stinging defeat coming on.

You are JonnyT AICMP. Keep up the good work :)

[Old_pie]

Bladdy amazing - #faith #trust and all that.

[sidders]

Just got in from cleaning out the chickens. Did Notts win?

[SwalePie]

Play off place too! [Yes I know it's a bit early to say that but it might be the only chance to say that this season so I'm taking it!]

6045

[uysapie]

Great result, need to beat Stanley on Friday.

[Old_pie]

Play off place too! [Yes I know it's a bit early to say that but it might be the only chance to say that this season so I'm taking it!]



and a positive goal difference, even if only 1, for the first time since??

[JoePass]

Just got in from cleaning out the chickens. Did Notts win?


Never mind duck, just keep eating the humble pie.

[Frigiliana Pie 1]

Done and dusted, absolute cracking result today, cant remember the last time we scored 4 in a game... anybody?

4-3 v Newport nearly 2 years ago??

[irishpete]

Great win,top Friday night?

[ancientpie]

Just got in from cleaning out the chickens. Did Notts win?

Take it on the chin sid :) I must admit with 10 mins to go I thought it was only going 1 way, great result & although I have never been Fortes biggest fan, with his new attitude he could yet be the answer & surely has earned a starting place in the next couple of games.

[upthemaggies]

Notice John Sheridan's Oldham rock bottom with zero points. Is his case against Notts sacking him still ongoing or has that been put to bed now?

[marshall55]

GET in there !!!!!!! fully deserved by Forte who played very well against Everton too and must surely be given a start next Tues against Accrington

Friday?

[SmiffyPie]

Great result.

[thelanelady]

Friday?

We play Accrington on Friday!

[sidders]

Never mind duck, just keep eating the humble pie.

Do you have any of yours left after the general election, old?

[SolSigns]

A great, battling win away from home. Nolo has stamped his mark on this Notts.
