Dagenham v Wrexham tonight

[matt_magpie]

whilst last night was a bit disappointing and the manner of it but we’ve potentially got another 9 rounds/chances of this if we beat them, if nothing else it’s very exciting.
I think some people can be negative just to make it less stressful for themselves, if they write it off then they avoid the fear of heartbreak.
You would have got very long odds on Liverpool beating Utd 7-0, footballs crazy, keep the faith.

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my post, but the fact is I don't think we'll get promoted. It's not that I don't think we're a great side or that I'm overly pessimistic and defeatist. It's just that I think we're more likely to come second, and that we're then more likely not to win the playoffs than win them.

That doesn't mean I don't hope we win, or that the club should stop trying to win and give up. It's just that my time as a Notts fan has taught me never to expect things to go smoothly or well. Hope for the best, expect the worst.

Zooming out, however, things will still look good even if we don't go up. We've got great owners and a great manager. I don't think we'll suddenly fall into crisis like we did after the failed playoff campaign under Nolan/Hardy.

The thing is though that a high percentage of the Notts fan base have the same thoughts and during our pressure games especially at ML the fans go very quiet and nervy, the players feel that hence why Cameron especially has tried to get us going.
The previous play off defeats and even last years there is only half the squad that were here.
Macca and Scott won a title last year and we have a good few more players that have achieved promotions so a lot of winners in the squad and that's without Luke Williams who is a highly motivated individual who will do his upmost to make certain the players are as prepared as possible.
After all Notts County is the shell(that we all support)but its the players and Coaching staff that will decide our destiny(even if there are bad decisions) so lets forget the past remain positive about the present and the near future.
BTW I still think we have a good chance of going up automatically and still have to believe that(even if the majority of you don't) and get behind the lads - we have all seen title racers change in the last few games(Man City last few seconds) so we have to keep the pressure on Wrexham until it is mathematically impossible.
Us making lots of positive noise starting with Dorking Saturday will help(I can't sing for toffee but it doesn't matter at a football match)but try to wake people up in the main stand.
I don't like it when the Away supporters even the ones not bringing many fans make a lot more noise than 6-7000 Notts fans - what must the players think ?

It would be nice if the kop stoped singing about forest for most the game ????

Totally understand, I just trust the Club will be more steely than that!
We have a great team and a fantastic chance of regaining league status - it won't be given to us, we're going to have to take it

Absolutely. I can't remember a time when I had so much faith in the owners, manager, and players to deliver success.

That said, I think we have about a 20% chance of finishing top, and a less than 50% chance of winning the playoffs, despite the fact we'd be by far the best team in it. Steeliness doesn't really come into it.

Would be nice if the Library did a little clap or shone their mobile phones occasionally.

We live in hope

Some of us do, well I do, think you have to accept there’s an older generation in there, at least their still going after all the pain 😂

On that note I do have one bug bear with our players, when they run out after the handshake all bar a couple never clap the Pavis, it’s like we’re not there, maybe they haven’t noticed with the lack of noise 😂

Think that depends where you are. Players family and friends tend to get seats just in front of me in F Block, they always get lot's of waves.

There’s no point in moaning I guess… it’ll all fall on deaf ears 😂

Thing is, I remember when I were a young lad in the Lane End… the old buggers in the Main Stand used to make a right racket….
mainly “Counteh! clap clap clap… Counteh!… clap clap clap”.

The smell of woodbines and bovril drifting across the ground…
