Well we can’t complain we matched Wrexham,get a rest on the 11th before we play Barnet on the 14th 😜

Last 2 home games very very poor

I think Stalls right, the players showed good character.

[WarsopPie]

well, strange, you would of thought he would bring Macca on for the shoot out

Not really I think LW tried his hardest to lose that tbh

[PTID1862]

Edit: covered them all in interview

You remember I said £7.60 was good value for 90 mins of football? I've changed my mind, that was some poor fare that Notts served up today.

No disgrace going out to other NL team on penalties. Let's be honest, with the league being the overwhelming priority this season, the FA Trophy is nothing more than a glorified reserves competition for us. It's probably to our overall advantage to be out, especially with Wrexham and Chesterfield already out.

Might have been nice to go through with the Eastleigh home game on the 11th Feb postponed regardless, but even then we are playing Barnet the Tuesday immediately after. We now have certainty that we won't directly postpone any league games due to FA Trophy progress.

At worst we'll have a couple more weekends off if NL teams remain in it that we are due to play in the league on FA Trophy weekends. With our small squad, that's a far better outcome than fixture congestion.
