    This is the sort of post that worries me, where the opposition are given no respect at all and a walkover is expected. The last time we had a lot of those type of predictions on here was the Forest Green Rovers game, with many predicting a win by 4 or 5 goals. What happened? We scraped a point with an equaliser in the 6th minute of injury time. I just hope the management and playing squad treat Oxford City with a bit more respect than you appear to.

    In what way does anything posted on NCM have any bearing on the game? You worry too much!

    In the sense that when really, really easy wins are predicted on here they rarely if ever happen. In life I'm a glass half full type, but where Notts are concerned I've realised the best option is to fear the worst, then be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen!

    I think you mean half empty.

    I think I know what I mean better than you think you know what I mean.

    Unless you know better of course.

    He has a point though. If people on here are thinking that way, what's to stop the players doing so too? Well, Kevin Nolan of course. But still, we don't want any 'Where are you sitting at Wembley' type posts, it brings bad luck.

    You give your opposition the respect they are due.
    Play your strongest side
    Win the game no matter how
    And into the next round.
    We have a game of football to win
    Potential banana skin as always for any club playing a team from a lower level.

    And we have had too many banana skins in the past. 2-0 would be fine.
