The do we or do we not start with Wootton will no doubt be subject to some debate over the course of this week. For me it has to be a yes.

To be honest, I think it will cause very little debate.

I would be surprised if anyone thought that Wootton shouldn't be in the starting XI.

No debate from me. Wooton starts.

At half time I was trying to work out if Jimmy Knowles had actually touched the ball.
Didn't think Eli fouled their guy for the booking early on. Their player Diarra was an absolute cheat, diving all over the place.
Ref below standard as per usual.
Second half different class. Jimmy stepped up to the plate. Him and Knight looked like they knew how to manage a penalty area. It's a long time since I've said that about a Notts front 2.
Jimmy made the most of his opportunities, I'm sure Knight will given time.
Enjoyed the 2 Woking commentators ripping their own team apart...
Good game management from Mr Burchinall. Might have to eat my words if this carries on. Well done Notts.

He did, I'll forgive him for the 2 dolly headers he missed. He plays the 'Popeye' role very well.

Amazes me how differently people see the game ! I thought Reeves was dreadful. Misplaced forward passes, unnecessary back passes and 2 glaring misses.

Too Wimpey for my liking.

Some good performances today...Chicksen again looked calm & composed,Knowles (2nd half) looked sharp but Reeves,to me, bossed the whole game!

We must have watched different games, Reeves can only pass backwards

O live it with you.

A lot of Reeves miss-placed passes were due to the ball being too soft, it was almost Pappy at one point.

Enjoyed that today tbh. Credit where it’s due, IB was on the front foot with his instructions and substitutions.
Glad for Knowles, just rewards for a great second half, aided by having Knight and pace next to him.

Reeves also more pivotal today and has now proven (in this formation anyways) Doyle not needed.

Does KW slot straight back in? Do we change from 3 at the back now confidence is rising? Interesting times.

The continued 3 at the back please.

Woots back in as Sam did himself no favours today and Knight ain’t for enough.

Soft goals conceded.

Game changed with the early and effective substitutions.

3 points.

Play off bound as always
