I'm beginning to wonder about these 'new owners'. Looks like not one member of staff, not the manager, or any of the players have met them. Please tell me that's not unusual?Quote:

I want to be 100 percent wrong. But I thought we were going to get relegated after the Cambridge home defeat
SLACK: "While we're not down yet, I also think we'll be relegated. We've had so many chances to pull clear and we've missed them all. I can't see that changing at this stage."
This is my view too. Obviously, we all hope we can still stay up, but the whole season has shown that every time we get a massive chance to make progress the players blow it. Hopefully we can do "an Orient" & press for an immediate return next year.
After the Cambridge game in January we were dead and buried. At least now we are fighting for our lives - can’t ask for more than that. The way the players defended last week for the last 40 minutes showed their commitment. We need the same tomorrow.Quote:

The fat lady may be gargling in preparation but it ain't over yet.
Yes we've missed lots of chances to pull clear but we're not down yet.
Even if we do get relegated, I do hope you cheery sod's who have us down already will still be in attendance

It’s things like “we are relegated” or “we won’t win” this game or that game kind of mindset the supporters should not have yet. None of us know what the future holds. We still have a chance of survival and are capable of winning football matches against any of the teams we are due to play.
It’s so important for supporters to be on board at this stage of the season to be the 12th man. Creating an atmosphere of getting behind the team at games both home and away can make a big difference
Yes, I agree absolutely. If I could get to the remaining five games, I would sing my heart out. Instead, I'll be behind them all the way via iFollow. I've never been one to boo or harass players during a match, no matter how bad we play.Quote:

This season has never felt like a 'Great Escape' in the making. We've never managed to get any momentum going, and we continuously throw away chances to get out of the bottom two. On top of that, it just seems to be one of those seasons where we won't get the luck we need to turn draws into wins, or losses into draws. Still, it's not over until it's over.
The fans have been doing that all season it's made no difference at allQuote:

Some people are only human after all. Being let down so often would get any crowd onto the player's backs but the Notts herd vocally have given their all despite being fed such tripe as we've seen this season.Quote:
