    How to cope with the pressure?

    I haven't been this invested in the playoffs probably since the Coventry matches. I can't think of anything else, I am dreaming about it and it's both the last thing on my mind at night and the first thing in the morning. Last week (here in Scotland) a customer came in to my shop and said "big day for you next Saturday". I was so confused as the play off is Sunday until I realised he was talking about the coronation! I just need it to be over.
    If I can't cope with the pressure how do the players and staff cope? Maybe it's easier when you can actually do something about it, we just have to watch with our stomachs churning. Only 3 early goals will allow me to enjoy the game.
    Let's hope the 30 or so locals I have got following Notts are all correct, without fail they tell me to stop worrying.

    I just wish it was Monday right now.

    Group Hug? All Notts aren’t we?

    It’ll be a tough watch or listen for any of us who love this club but whatever happens on Sunday we are Notts County, we move on. We have the ability to win this game, if it doesn’t happen then so be it. We’ll be back to fight for it again next year. I’m confident but also nervous as hell. (Also 3 beers in to my train journey up to Notts, promise of curry followed by a few more in the X Keys BJ to follow. Where I’ll raise one to Our Jimmy).

    COYP!

    Definitely getting to squeaky bum time. In reality, we finished 35pts ahead and so shouldn't fear them. However, this is Notts...

    Wrexham swept them aside without too much difficulty, but it did need two pretty special goals from Mullin. After they scored in the 1st minute, they offered very little.

    But, having watched a few of Wrexham's more key games, I did get the feeling that teams seemed to turn out against us and roll over and die against Wrexham. Not that I'm biased of course

    I deal with it like this, why should we allow Wrexham to walk away with the record for the most number of points won in the National League !!! - No, we can’t allow that!. We are Notts County - we will go forth next season and overtake Wrexham to be the points record holder for the NL - COYP’s

    This is it for me…we score, we win. It’s that simple. They offer nothing going forward so we have to break them down and score first. After that, it’s all over.

    I expect Borehamwood to score, and fully expect us to score more.

    We are better than them, we win. Pressure? What pressure?!
