Some lovely goals, albeit helped by some hopeless defending.

You can see how many questions we’re going to pose for teams when we attack, though. It was interesting that Barnet played a midfield diamond when they’ve been playing wing backs all of pre-season - you have to guess that was in an attempt to directly counter us. Our obvious threats are Cal and Ruben picking the ball up in the number ten position, so they flooded that area of the pitch. Problem was that both are comfortable wide as well, so they drifted out there and combined with DKE/Taylor to mean we had an overload on their full backs every time in the second half.

Then they tried to stop that by playing a much higher line, but that was a disaster because we brought O’Brien on and his movement in behind kept catching them out.

I think teams who try and just defend against us like that are mostly going to get blown away. Test for Notts will be if someone manages to press high, starve us of the ball and make us defend under sustained pressure.

Not sure whether they were going zonal there, man to man, or if Ruben really needs some new deodorant.

the goal celebrations show the team spirit and motivation....
contrast that with the middle of last season, when sometimes it seemed that players weren't bothered to congratulate a scorer...

Ruben's goals were better than I expected. I know he was unmarked, but he had time to think himself out of that header from 12 yards. The second was a great training ground move, I wonder if Clapham had any hand in that....

Beautifully weighted passes by Cameron and Francis for 4 and 5...
So many winning contributions, confidence should be sky high for Torquay, I think they'd better watch out.

[jacobncfc]

It seems a very happy place at the minute, doesn’t it.

Just little bits like Burchnall/Doyle joking around with Brindley about fouling his housemate in that training video. Brindley/Cameron/DKE/Roberts all being happy to go on fan podcasts and talk openly recently. Even something as silly as Ruben pronouncing Nemane’s name wrong in his post-match and the latter having a laugh about it on Twitter.

Everything points to Notts being a place where everyone is loving coming to work and gets on with each other, which definitely hasn’t always been the case.

[the_anticlough]

Yeah, if you can bottle an intangible like that it's worth a lot of extra points over a season...

It'd be great if we can ride that high through Torquay and Wrexham and then head into the run of easier fixtures with 7 or 9pts
The test you talk about will come sooner or later when a team matches the intensity and physically bullies us, IF we can find answers for that within games I can't see us finishing lower than 3rd

[the_anticlough]

a bit more on those Cameron and Francis passes...I know they played a very poor high line, but we've seen plenty of defenders and CMs at Notts who still wouldn't a) have seen the pass and b) been able to execute it...

Francis' in particular was so perfectly weighted that JOB only needed one touch to score..
Credit to for JOB for two great runs in behind
Palmer too with 2 assists in effect for goals 2 and 3. Other assists for DKE, JOB and Francis, plenty of 'hockey assists' too, eg Roberts for the first, Cameron for the 4th

[laddo]

The Barnet backline by that stage was so disorganised and all over the place you didn't even have to momentarily check whether JOB was offside as he ran through on goals 4 and 5. That says it all.

My alcohol influenced memory has the passage of play that lead to the clear penalty being two dozen passes before Cal was hacked down. Would like to see a replay even if it showed it was probably more than a dozen and no more. Either way very enjoyable to view along with 1000+ fellow pies.

Really good goals albeit, like others have pointed out, against shocking defending!

Rodrigues’s 2nd goal in particular showed very good technique, those tend to fly over the away stand! A goal from a corner too….when was the last time that happened?! Is that an instant result from the new coach?

Good to hear about DKE getting forward better as that was an area of his game I felt was lacking. Also glad to hear Taylor performed well, he didn’t convince me in the pre-season games.

I remember saying last season JOB could play much higher, maybe as a CAM…glad to see others are now seeing it too. I can’t stress how important he is to how we play and at what tempo we perform at.

I think Chesterfield are going to be strong this year but for now I’ll bask in an unfamiliar delight at a great opening day!

Well done Notts and all those that made the journey down 👍

[AllNottsAreWe]

I thought we had pretty much filled that stand behind the goal but there are loads of empty seats. Always looks more when you are actually sat in there I suppose. Still, a very decent away turn out at this level.

[Glad2BeAPie]

Just wait till we're really on it. When everyone is up to speed, and 100% fit

Ruben also played a role in the lead-up to the first goal, dummying the ball in the centre of the park and then taking up a great position in the penalty area (great cross from DKE, perfect placement).

Great to see the goals, but it also made me think of one thing that hasn’t been mentioned much - we kept a clean sheet. We were badly in need of one to boost confidence in the defence, Slocombe more than most. A really good day all round.

There's now a better 9 minute+ highlights package on Pies Player for your delectation...

The club must be giving you a special dispensation, nice one G2BAP!

Does anyone else find it plays without subscription?

Oops my mistake, I didn't scroll down the page, just clicked on 1st video, 2.52 one

Interesting, so it plays if you log in even without a paid subscription?

As the EFL allows clubs to continue using the EFL Digital Platform for two years after going down to the NL, I wonder what that means for Notts this season? As it has already started, presumably we're being allowed to continue beyond the two...

[queenslandpie]

It also works perfectly in Australia with no IP address issues unlike the Vanarama stuff. Choice! Note for all overseas pies 10 minutes of highlights!

I think you can pay to use it. Wrexham have upgraded to it this season as well

I had a paid subscription the season we went down but never renewed it after that. Seems it just kept rolling on.

I cannot see the highlights usually so this is a god send for me.

[countygump]

5 mins or so of highlights from Barnet FC, unfortunately it looks like it was filmed from at least 3 miles away.
