⚽ Match Thread vs. Gateshead FC 16.08.22 [NL]

I understand that all Notts fans want to be out of this league asap, but the reaction to Tuesday's draw seemed negative in the extreme.
I think Gateshead will prove to be a tough place to get anything from, and although still early, Saturday's game will tell us more about how we will fare this season. Having said that, after the latest LW presser, it seems we haven't yet fielded our desired formation, and probably won't on Saturday either, so I think patience is needed at the moment, before we see the real LW's Notts. Cedwyn Scott getting Covid has set us back more than we fans have realised.

It shows just how far our once great club has fallen when people say that going Gateshead will be a tough place to go. .I dont know what they would have said years ago when we were regularly visiting the likes of Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and Villa Park just to name a few..

It's all relative though isn't it? If you are a lower-half first division club going to Old Trafford it is a tough place to go. If you are a play-off level National League club going to newly promoted Gateshead on a filthy Tuesday night, that is also a tough place to go.

Those of us old enough to remember being in the top division or the second tier can't help but remember the 'good old days' but we are now in the NL. Hopefully not forever though.
