Well Notts have hit a bit of a dodgy patch - lost 2-0 at Lincoln mid-week

That wasn't a dodgy patch, we always play the weakest team we can in the Pisspot Trophy and most Notts fans are delighted we're out.

Saturday is more serious, and very difficult to predict. We always look likely to concede, but we always look likely to score. I predict that we will dominate possession but most of it will be in our half with our goalkeeper heavily involved. We can break quickly but are vulnerable to the quick counter, and we conceded 5 at Sutton and Colchester so are capable of the occasional shocker. Should be goals in the game, whoever makes the most of their chances will probably take the points.

Message received and understood regarding the Lincoln game !!

How is McGoldrick doing - thought it was a really nice gesture for him to sign for you (?)

McGoldrick has been excellent, he's played more in the number ten role than main striker. I was a bit surprised he dropped down a level but he said he'd always wanted to return to where he started. I think the idea is that he gets involved on the coaching side with an eye to the future when his playing days are over.

Not surprised. He played in the number 10 role for Derby last year.

Be interesting to see how we lineup to try and keep him 'quiet' ...

Very insightful last sentence.
