Exactly my thoughts, it's chit or bust time for us. Win, and I think we go on and win the title. Lose/draw and it's more than likely P/O time. I've got a sneaking suspicion that the team that ends up in the P/O's, will fail, just because that's the way these things tend to pan out.Quote:

I'll go for a 0-0.
A loss would be worse for Wrexham than for us. They stand to lose their grip on the title. We're second, and we'll finish second if we lose. More pressure on them than us because it's their lead to blow.Quote:

I am 64 FFS and cannot remember ever having a build up to a Notts game before like this. Part of me wishes I could just fast forward to five o'clock tonight and see what the outcome is, without even watching the game. I think Friday's results have intensified my feelings after being far more chilled before Wrexham's loss to Halifax, as before that game I had pretty much accepted the play off lottery as our means of getting promoted.

No matter what noises Wrexham are making, that defeat on Friday, will be in their heads and causing some doubt, both players and crowd. They have also won game after game, week after week, and been totally unable STILL to shake Notts off. Wrexham aren't playing against the cannon fodder they play every other week, they are playing against a team playing football consistent with that played two levels above. A team that has beaten them already this season. A team that many believe is better than theirs.
Anything can happen on these occasions and so predictions are difficult. However, it's been in my mind the past few months that Notts will go there and win. I see no reason to change that view as to me, Notts are a better football team quite simply. Plenty of goals - maybe 3-2 to Notts.
Good luck lads, give it your all.
We've got to back ourselves for this one. The players, staff and manager have got us this far in what is a historical season no matter what the outcome. So many managers have said we are the best footballing side in this league. We can go to North Wales with nothing to fear. Games like today are what those involved in football are in it for and we should go there and relish this. Especially after Wrexham were rattled on Friday.
It seems hard to predict what will happen. Will it be like a game of chess, with each side waiting for the other to make a mistake? Or will it be all guns blazing as both teams try and go out for the win and three points such that it's high scoring. Part of me thinks the game will mirror the season so far with the pendulum swinging both ways throughout.
All I want us to do is not play to the occasion, not change our style and play how we have done for the other games we have won this season. To be honest the other games we didn't win we could have won on another day.
It is essentially a dress rehearsal for the play-off final for whichever team ends up in them.
Wrexham 3-4 Notts County
Langstaff x 2
Rodrigues x 1
Scott x 1
Mullin x 2
Palmer x 1
After all the anticipation, hope and expectation what's the betting it will be a boring 0-0 XD
Good morning everyone!!! So excited today. I'll be watching from Maryland. Definitely a must win. Let's hope Mullin trips over his laces in the tunnel and breaks a leg! 2-1 to Notts.
Notts 3 - 2
Macca x 1, JOB x 1, Rubens x 1 (penalty)
Mullin x 2 (penalties of course)
Dragons 0-3 Magpies
Langstaffx2 Rodney
Sell out
We get early goal, then around 70 min get second on counter & again on 75
Wake up, pass the pipe;)
Deep down 2 sets of fans living in hope that their team wins
