Title: I predict Notts County will field a weakened team V us last match season
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on April 18, 2025, 05:38:30 pm
The old man won't play and I am sure 2 or 3 others won't

County with Jones will be a different team in the playoffs.

They are likely to rest plenty and the ones that do play won’t want to get injured.

There’s a lot of football to be played before 3rd May - we just need to do our bit and keep winning and not worry about anyone else. We’re on a roll!!! Don’t disagree though!  :thumbsup:

If results go out way Monday and next Saturday then we can also put a weakened team out as we should have won the league, but for now let's not worry about that as Grant says one game at a time

As I have said in another thread, there is a possibility county go into the last game needing a point for a PO slot and rovers go into it needing a point for auto. I wonder how well the managers get on?

County are fighting for 5th spot with the advantages of home for 2nd leg and a better draw against  7th place. Can't see them fielding a weakened team they need the points.
And as I say a name to bring shivers down your spine  David McGoldrick far, far too good still for this league

County could still be outsiders for 3rd place, if results go their way on Saturday.

Mind you, for that to have happened we would have beaten Bradford anyway.!

I can see County needing a win to clinch a playoff place, this could a bit of a problem. They’ve really dipped recently. Doubt it’ll be a weakened team. This league has been all over the shop this season and I don’t see it being any more straightforward in the last 2 games. Buckle in!

If we’re already promoted we won’t need to save players for the play offs..

They’re still shite at full strength and have been for months, so not really worried.

They’ve only beaten 1 current top half team (Grimsby) in 2025.

Out of interest, has anyone got any figures on how many points each of the top seven have won against teams in the top ten when compared to points they have won against the rest of the division?
We were discussing it at half time against Colchester and guessed that all the top seven would have picked up less points against the teams placed higher in the table than against those in the lower reaches.

According to many on this forum recently we are sh7te and can’t beat a top 7 team….. after two 3-0’s that lot have calmed down a bit thankfully. But I would still Buckle in for safety reasons.

5th plays 6th, RR. It's the 4th team that gets to play 7th.
