Enjoyed that. Surprisingly, midfield didn’t seem to be a major issue, especially 2nd half.
First half was dry and bog standard until we scored the two goals.
2nd half, we looked way above them level wise. They’ve really dropped like a stone.
Good to see Mitchell come on and score again.
Langstaff is already on the way to being a legend!
Shouldn’t have let the goal in, but it is what it is.
Good turnout for our fans. 1000? Difficult to put a number on it. A fair few little ‘uns as well today. Good to see so many families at an away game. Sunshine helps.
Still don’t like the away top!

Possibly better, because Hughesy was approaching the end of his career and not gaining value, whereas Langstaff's value will be rocketing.

Great win this. Halifax clearly aren't the team they were under Pete Wild, but a win by that margin away from home is always good, and the Langstaff/Scott combination seems to be up and running.

From a financial point of view we may well gain more
But its a strong stetch to say in footballing terms Langstaff is better than Hughes,

It was a strange move in my opinion. Forest Green Rovers have surely hit their glass ceiling in League One, so exactly what does IB expect to achieve there?

I would imagine if he kept them in that League, he'd be a hero. I notice Sooty beat Mansfield 2-1, wish I'd had that in the sweep.

Lots of positives today. Only negative is conceding.

Minutes in legs for Scott and Adebayo. Langstaff on form again, Scott's first goal. Mitchell scoring off the bench.

Top one Notts!
Monday will be a better test though!

Langstaff has that Vardy vibe for me.

3rd season in a row we've had 9 points from the opening 5 games.

Does TAR look like the answer to our problems? Anyone there have an opinion?

There's a song there.

LW: Pleased with how we defended but not enjoyable to watch at all, fortunate to come in front. Opposition made it tough... playing man for man. Pitch very difficult (it was) probably the best defender against us.

Great second half, good finish from langstaff with alot of time to think and also great goal from Mitchell who was pretty fired up when he scored. Well played Notts COYP
