From Depressed to Impressed

Great insight.
I’m sure our players desperately want to win the title, but high on every players wish list must be the chance to play at Wembley.
There’s much to be buzzing about and little to be down about.

Quite right. This is the attitude we should take into the remainder of the season.

I assume you are talking about the supporters here? If so I wholeheartedly agree#PVO it's the only influence we can have on results and increasing our chance of success.

No excuses

Everyone associated with the club. Rather than framing the end of this season in a disappointing way, we should be looking forward to a successful playoff campaign and a potential trip to Wembleh.

That should be no problem for the players, but some supporters - me included - struggle with optimism. I've always assumed and planned for the worst outcome happening with Notts, just because it makes it less painful if/when it does happen. But positivity is needed now.

I'm still looking forward to Notts being crowned champions on GD on the last day when Langstaff's 47th goal of the season goes in in the 97th minute. Until that's mathematically out of reach I won't be thinking play-offs. Hopefully the players will be thinking the same way and aiming to win every game to maximise our chances if Wrectum do slip up. Their arrogance and the media circus around them currently might just make it happen. For example, to look at the coverage from the Wrectum side since Monday's match you'd actually think they won the title that day. They didn't.

By the way this isn't a prediction, before everyone starts slagging it off, it's simply my version of realism. In football, while ever it's REALLY mathematically possible it is still REALLY possible.

Just back home after a 5 hour drive following the sponsors day today at Meadow Lane. Last night I was feeling really down and wondering how LW would be able to pick the boys up after Monday.
Let me tell you we have no worries. The training was sharp, entertaining and obviously fun for the participants. They were all buzzing and there was certainly no evidence of a hangover from the Wrexham game. LW gave us a real intelligent, informative and passionate talk pitchside, I’ll remember that for a long time.
After training we had lunch with the players and staff, to a man they were fantastic, they all reflected the passion, drive and discipline that LW has instilled into the team.
I sat with Chicksen, Baldwin and Austin. They were polite, humble, approachable and engaging just like the manager.
I said in last nights post that it would be surprising if LW could lift my spirits…..he did it effortlessly.

I have renewed enthusiasm for the playoffs, what a difference a day makes.

Nice little video from the day...

Durham Pie I would suggest that you went to a Notts training session listened to LW explain the process,watched the lads train and ask him questions while he doesn’t pick the same 11 every game and other questions that make you think that LW hasn’t done a very good job with the players at his disposal
I’m sure you would then understand what LW is trying to achieve

How can you possibly know durhampie went to a training session?

watched the lads train and ask him questions while he doesn’t pick the same 11 every game

Is he allowed to ask questions at other times? What if Luke Williams didn't not pick the team during the training session?

You don't need to know, that's the NCM way.

Is "didn't not" the same as 'did'? These double negatives always manage to confuse me.

I'm with you Swale, a lot can still happen and Wrexham's fixtures are no walk in the park with all their opponents having something to play for.
I too find them increasingly arrogant although during the Munto season I said some outrageously cocky things.
Of course all Notts fans would love to see their balloon deflated and certainly stranger things have happened in football before.
OK I'm just going upstairs to take my Paul Mullin poster off the bedroom wall. The dart holes are getting pretty bad.
