The pitch was playable, definitely wasn’t worth calling the game off. We didn’t play the conditions that well, sometimes we tried to play a lot of short passes and it just wasn’t the conditions for it. That said, we had 2 very good chances that should’ve put us in the lead before HT. The...

I think we were unlucky with the conditions, I think that played into Notts County’s favour as controlling the ball was difficult for both sides. Burge, 6 - wasn’t really tested, nearly caught out by a looping header, beat by a fantastic goal Grimmer, 6 - bottled the tackle that lead to their...

I think we’re going to win this game by 1 goal.

We’ll get 40-45k at Wembley if we get there. Why is anyone worrying about priority? Anyone who wants a ticket, will be able to get one. You’d have to leave it ridiculously late not to get one.

We definitely don’t ‘need’ to win by two goals. Obviously it’s prefable, but, as long as we win, we go into the away leg in very favouarable circumstances. I’d be content with a draw, and that’s what he’s getting at... Notts County May have only lost 2 games at home, but they’ve also drew a lot...

I wonder why we’ve banned them. Perhaps the cultural context could be the Bradford City stadium fire? Has another major Western European nation had a similar incident to Hilsborough or Bradford?

It'll be interesting to see how we approach this game, Robins remembers that two-legged game vs Crewe and said: "I remember the game against Crewe in the Football League Trophy a few years ago and the Ricoh was a full house. We just wanted to score on every attack and then three counter-attack...

Sounds like a good signing. I'm on the cautious side because he's billed as a Bayliss like-for-like, I hope that doesn't mean he's leaving.

Their average home attendance is about 7,900-odd... I think they'll more or less sell it out, just not as quickly as we have.

Save some tickets for me! I can’t purchase any until the 15th haha!

Me too, Notts County are very good at not losing at home, losing only 2/23, but have also drawn 7 games which is a quite lot. Looking at some of these stats (link provided), Notts County is very reliant on their home form; 64% of their points came from home, and 61% of their goals scored, and...

We had both against Exeter, Lincoln and Notts County... We lost all 3 games without Jones. That said, considering the 2-1 loss was a bottle job and should've ended as a draw at their place, I think home advantage is good for us. But, if we go into the away leg needing a win, I'm going to be worried.

In my experience, that’s not the case... Even at the ticket office, I bought a concession ticket, which is 18-21, told them I was 21, yet... when I told them my account details (active from my days as a ST holder), it would say I’m 23. I am a student, so I’m a concession anyway... When I had a...

I imagine we'll be in for Williams if we're in L2 next year, he got 12 goals in the 16/17 season. L1 I imagine we'll look elsewhere.

If we go into the away leg 2 goals up, I cannot see us losing over 90 minutes. With Tom Davies back in the team, I’m confident we’ll be able to deal with Notts County’s and Lincoln’s directness better than we did with McDonald. McNulty definitely needs to step up, his record against the teams...

I’m feeling confident that if we get to Wembley, roared on by 40k Cov fans again, we couldn’t lose. But, the problem is getting there. Notts County’s home record is very good, so I’m hoping ya playing at home first proves to be an advantage. If we win the first leg, hopefully by more than 1...

This aggregate scores over the season count for nothing, and we're missing a key factor here: Jodi Jones, he was involved in every goal we scored v Exeter, Lincoln and Notts County: 2-0 win v Exeter, forced OG and assist for winner, without him, we lose 1-0, albeit an even game with only a GK...

11 Michael Doyle's would probably end up fighting one another at some point. He's a great captain and has such a professional approach to the game, to be in his shape at 36 going on 37 is a testament to that.

All you need to know from Robins himself: “He [Jordan Willis] was ill but should be fit for next week. “Shipley was tired, needed to come off. Bayliss was tired and Max was ill but wanted to be on the bench so there has been a bit of upheaval because I was going to name an unchanged side...

Keep the diamond, I liked how we moved the ball about actually. Probably start Biamou as he was supposed to have started yesterday. Willis and Davies to start, best way to deal with their directness I suspect.
