I was stood next to some goon today who was still criticising SM at 3-0 up,

Did you ask if he was Warsop?

I was stood next to some goon today who was still criticising SM at 3-0 up, I?m sure they don?t want Notts to lose but they desperately want SM to fail?.just to say they knew all along he would. Unbelievable.

Really enjoyed the day, have always had a soft spot for Accrington and finally got to get there today. Think they must have the nicest stewards in the league, and certainly some of the best fans.

Some say he?s no good and neither RM with the recruitment, so if go up I imagine it will be because of the worse L2 standard since records begun.

that'll do won't it!

So 12 at home, 9 away. Other than Walsall no team is near 2 points/game, 92 for the season. So 49 more needed would I think guarantee automatics. Even 2 points per game going forward is another 42 giving 85 total. No major injuries, squad is getting better and maybe another couple of additions.

No play-offs please, I'm already on meds for heart condition.

Big worry is that under-pressure Spurs may see how well Georgie Boy is doing and take him back.

Think/hope Spurs will see how well he is progressing with us and our style and let him stay as we play teh right way and have improved him. Sure other clubs will see similar which can only be good

We rarely profit from corner kicks so to see George Abbot?s perfectly timed run coincide with Matty Palmer?s inch-perfect delivery into the space beyond the congested goalmouth was a joy in itself. For Abbot to then manufacture the perfect contact and direction with a volley made all those wasted deliveries a distant memory. For the precision displayed on the day there must have been many training ground rehearsals.

[BigFatPie]

Yeah cracking if a bit chilly day out. Abbots goal was so good it was difficult to believe what youd just seen. Accy were crap but we were very pleasant to watch today.

We now find ourselves in such a great position of having played the fewest home games out of anyone, of having played the runaway leaders twice already, and having a load of important players coming back from injury.

I know Spurs could still recall George, but its only our historical proclivity for effing things up that doesnt think this is our year.

There was so much GA had to get right there - including, as you say, the sheer amount of ground he had to cover to be there at the precise moment. And of course, then there?s the perfectly delivered pass from Matty Palmer - both goal and assist of the season?

Can?t wait to see what the xG was for that one.

Did you hear the comments from SM and McDonald that they had been practising that move at length on Friday and that GA had volleyed them all in

Great result that. Accrington aren't the best this season, but if you go away and win 3-0 then you've definitely done a lot right on the day.
