This is one of my favourite LW interviews of all time.

I can't remember a time where the club's strategy was so coherent, so specific, and the the club so well aligned with it.

Don’t necessarily agree with your analysis didn’t think Nemane did a lot,Crowley ok
Slocombe our M.O.T.M thought Austin was decent and Rawlinson looked better in the centre than previous(sharper)
Gill is one of our young professionals after being an apprentice he is 18-19

A Notts reserve-ish side beaten by a better team. Not a lot to say actually, thought Derby looked a good side. It showed that Sloco is a better keeper than Stone if nowt else. We put a few decent balls in the box all the way through the match so I would have like to have seen Didtz play central, (1st half at least), might have profited from them a little bit more.

Luther winning and Junior absolutely leathering the penalty...

Blimey O'Riley that's a vicious penalty!

On that showing I would say Munakandaffa deserves a place on the bench. Macari did ok and Tipton after a shaky start grew into the game. Adebayo was pretty toothless and Nemane odd patches but not that effective. Great to see Sam have a good game. Great also to see Morias get off the mark although I struggle to see how he is going to forge much of a career at Notts.

If we had a bigger squad, we could send Morias out on loan for a month or two to get match fit - but we don’t have that luxury.

Derby County +3 6
Lincoln City 0 3
Wolves ACA -1 3
Notts County −2 0

So a 3-0 win against Lincoln will see us through?

Any sort of win for Notts will see us progress *if* Derby beat Wolves ACA at Pride Park on the same night.

Lincoln and Notts both on 2 goals for, so if we won 1-0 we'd both have -1 GD and 3 pts but Notts would have an additional goal.

Only if Derby beat Wolves, in which case 2-0 would be enough.
