Just love Luke Williams' post-match interviews. You can hear how much he loves his job in every syllable.

That was defo one of the better matches to listen to this season. It had everything - a bad start, an evil ref, penalty scored, penalty missed, a late draw, and even later winning goal, a red card and then the insurance. Well done Notts!

Well we heard it from the horses mouth LW how Notts have had the rough end of the stick in regards to ref decisions recently, and how they have to get it right as the future of our club could depend on it ( already is in my opinion why we are behind Wrexham that and no other reason )

That second half is what I was hoping we would see and when I said at half time we need to show our quality. We could easily have scored five in that second half we absolutely ripped Eastleigh to pieces. Some of the one touch football and defence splitting passes were sublime. I just knew Rodrigues was going to miss the penalty but that did not deter him and if anything it spurred him and the rest of the team on even more.

If the worst comes to the worst and we do finish in the play-offs that second half is what we should be dishing out to teams. What we did second half is what a title winning team does and we are technically a title winning team in what is a freak season of two.

The likes of Rodrigues, Langstaff, Nemane, Palmer, Jones, Austin and others have far superior quality than most players at this level and when they click and turn it on and it all flows we are unstoppable.

Closing in on 100 goals, coming close to matching our all time points record of 99 points. We've done the job, got the three points and keep the pressure on Wrexham.

Yes and all this and its not our strongest team , if we did end up in the play offs , the starting line up will be different

Yep and now RR the same COYP

Rodrigues is so good, man. Outrageous display even before he missed the penalty and went up another gear. What a joy to watch him play.

Thought it was like the Barnet game recently where they caused trouble with a ridiculously aggressive press for an hour but were then completely dead on their feet. We could’ve scored 10 in the last half an hour.

[jacobncfc]

I don't know what it is but Notts must feel the pressure somehow in the first half of games.they must feel it, and Wrexham do as well.

It’s not the pressure, it’s the opposition. The current vogue way of playing against us is going hyper aggressive, man for man pressing. But teams keep doing it and then gassing out after about an hour at which point we run riot. Could do without going 1-0 down to it every time mind, although not a lot you can do about that one today.

Credit where it's due, they certainly did a number on us first half. Big, aggressive, spoiling side that gave us little room to play in and were incredibly fortunate to be awarded the softest pen you are ever likely to see. In the 2nd half we stepped up a gear and mullered em.

A lot of our fans aren't getting this point. Teams are going all out 100% effort to snatch a goal and hopefully hold like Dagenham luckily managed to. Only team to manage this well for 90 minutes was Borehamwood all other teams have been gassed by the hour mark.

We also have the likes of Austin on the bench to pick off the weary opposition legs.
