Joey Barton: Notts County boss Kevin Nolan keen to sign ex-Newcastle team-mate - Barton: Notts County boss Kevin Nolan keen to sign ex-Newcastle team-mate

I just want the most winnable tie. Bugger all this how far we have to travel etc. We want the draw that gives us the best possible chance of getting to the final. What are we going to say, that we may have lost, but at least the place was closer and easier to get to? ;)

Especially if it ends up 0-0.

Didn't I already do that?

Would probably need some more financial backing then. I would love it if they were competing against Wasps. I suppose if it does happen Cov can always try and become kings of the Championship, which will indeed discover its own big hitters over time.

When is the ringfencing likely to take place? Any chance Cov could make it before it happens?

Ah! So it's from when he kicks the ball! I just thought it was from wherever we stop the footage on the tape.

And you're not the only one.

I see if Colchester do well it may have a big bearing on how things finish in the table. Their last 4 matches. Notts County Lincoln Swindon Exeter

Had a quick look. They have Port Vale, who are still looking for safety, though they should be able to get the 3 points there. Then have Wycombe, so a massive crunch game. They have Colchester, who might still fancy a late surge to the playoffs, us, Acrrington and Yeovil. I can see maybe a...

Not sure on Lincoln. They have three tough matches, against us, Wycombe and Accrington.

But in saying that, we beat them easily at home and lost away because of a blunder didn't we?

If we go up I think we will. If we don't go up I wouldn't fancy our chances so much.

Maybe it's just me, but I just can't see that poor form lasting forever. No wins in 9 for Mansfield, yet they are a very decent side and one of the best we have played here at the Ricoh this season. They can't just keep not winning can they?

Sod it!! City to go up. Vincenti to score a hat-trick, another two from Beavon, a towering header from DKE and Barrett to block 4 goal bound shots simply by just standing on the goalline.

Yup. If we get a decent ref and no-one drops a clanger, then yes, we have a decent chance, but I can foresee a big home play-off leg, with 25,000+ there and then a Burge or LOB howler gifts a 1-0 lead and the opponent's just sit back on that and bag the victory. When we go a goal down we...

Yes, so true. Said on another thread, all it takes is a dodgy pen, or wicked deflection, or a sending off or a bad backpass and you can be ousted from the playoffs in an instant. The officiating at this level is awful. Case in point last week, where Burge was clearly fouled and they should have...

Agree on that. My reasoning we may fail is as follows: 1. Two keepers both capable of horrendous errors and both have indeed cost us matches and points. 2. Have difficulty in breaking down teams who are set on resolute defence, whilst catching us on the break. 3. Lack of pace 4. Lack of...

I think we will make the top 7, but think we may well fail in the play-offs.

He is claiming it brushed his shoulder. He seems an honest enough guy and people have said he wouldn't claim it unless he honestly believed he had touched it, but there is nothing on the clip to suggest he did. I see Gateshead FC promptly tweeted and claimed Harry Kane had also scored for them...
