Yes, despite having over 70 % Notts managed to concede 3 to the lowest scoring team in League 2. Overall they are the joint highest scorers in the League but only Sutton and Colchester have conceded more.
Would certainly indicate we can expect goals next Tues.

Opens it up for us if we can keep this good run going.

I said last week that February is an interesting month. Not only do County play Notts County on Tuesday but Gillingham next Saturday. That could be a real six pointer, provided County do the business in the two games between now and then.

Of course I expect other teams to overtake Notts County and Gillingham in that time, but at the current time County are 6 points behind the last play-off spot with a game in hand. So it's still a possibility and will either solidify or dissolve over the passage of games.

As often GC is correct in how he (publicly) is approaching this. Accumulate sufficient points to guarantee survival (^40's-50 points), then look to surpass last years total and then see where County are.

Whilst he must say 'get enough points for survival' we may already have reached that target. Mustn't be seen to be complacent. Probably need to beat both Notts and Gillingham to give ourselves an outside chance of seventh place.

And Walsall today. But lets take each game as they come. The closer the gap then the larger the margin for error. At the moment County have to close the gap to stand any chance. It's an improbable chance at the moment. Lets just hope that County can have a good February and see how likely the chase is at the end of the month...

Well, all the games really. I only selected Notts and Gills as they are home matches. A draw today would be OK if we win those two. Realistically, eighth place would be a good season.

A draw would have been he ideal result for us but Gillingham winning is better than Notts County because it makes the play off positions look even closer.
IF we win today we would only be 1 point behind Notts County and we have them at RP on Tuesday, then Gillingham next weekend

...and MK Dons the following week. Who incidentally are 6th and only five points better off atm...
