Unfortunately our win will push Wrexham on to win later as they wouldn't want a nervy last day at Torquay.

I'm really not sure what effect us winning on Saturday will have on Rectum in their later game. It could make them even more nervy rather than less because they know we're still in contention if they don't win.
To be honest I am so sick and tired of Rectum's Hollywood circus and associated media hype I don't care what happens to them on Saturday. I'm much more concerned about Notts. I just want them to be promoted any which way.
Now I suppose the chances of Rectum falling on their a*se are enhanced if they finish up in the playoffs and after Tuesday night this is even less likely but not impossible of course.
There can't be many Notts supporters who don't want to seem them fail after all the glitz and razzmatazz.
So if this should happen what's next for them?
Would it make them stronger or would the shine start to fade?
All very unlikely I know but it's not hypothetical yet.
The pendulum has got to swing sometime it's just a case of when surely.

When I were a lad we called them rubbers. We called summat else rubbers 'an all.

There are two ways at looking at facing teams with nowt to play for, and playing a team still fighting for something
1. With their fate already settled, they can relax and just play the game without the stress factor.
In a lot of cases this is true, but in Maidstone's case, they're so woefully out of form this isn't gonna happen, they're probably counting the minutes until it's all over for them. With your style of football, it'll be a turkey-shoot for Notts, absolutely nailed-on!
2. When a team's still battling, they're dangerous to play against and things can easily go badly wrong.
This is obviously also true, but it keeps all the team 100% 'up for it' too, which, gawd knows why, doesn't always happen, often though it's against sides that have just missed-out or safely mid-table, so Point 1 doesn't apply, so relax

No games are ever 'absolutely nailed on', especially where Notts are concerned.There are two ways at looking at facing teams with nowt to play for, and playing a team still fighting for something

True but some games are very very close both for and against.

They've collected a grand total of 4 points since they last won on 26th November, 23 games without a win - that's 3 more than our longest run without a win when Murphy and Thompson were sacked. It's inconceivable we won't win this.
Not sure why so many seem to have thrown the towel in since Wrexham beat Yeovil, they were always going to win that one, it was good they didn't better our GD and now they've got two much tougher fixtures. BW won't roll over and will probably keep it tight and take a point, Torquay will hopefully still have something to play for.

I wonder which player(s) LW was referring to whose future may be elsewhere ?
