Well I didn't expect too much from this game. Notts are still missing our best creative players (Hamshaw and Weston) and missing our leader at the back - Johno.
Notts created a couple of chances in the first half. A Edwards header from a corner and Forte striking over from inside the box. 0-0 at half time and it was looking okay.
2 minutes into the second half and Wycombe took the lead and then wrapped up the win from a free-kick.
Notts drop a place to 17th. 19 points from the drop zone.
Notts need to get their confidence back quickly. The match on Sunday is huge. If Notts could get a decent draw (any Prem team , Forest , Derby) and get some much needed money in the coffers then perhaps could get a decent midfielder in.
But before we even contemplate who we want we need to beat non-league Kettering , who have Christie (Ex Stag) and Guy Branston at the back. It should be an interesting day.
If Notts lose fans will be starting for the manager to be sacked. Typical Notts fans. Change is not good , but if Charlie contiues this form then there might be no other option.
Personally I am giving him to Xmas.

Dreadful Notts slipping down the table !
Daggers 6 (YES THAT IS SIX ! ) NOTTS 1
Shocking performance and disgusting result. Horrible. Forte scored in final minutes.
We are desperately missing a leader at the back - Johno , plus key players such as Weston and Hamshaw. We don't have any other wingers at the club.
McParland should be thinking how is he going to shift some of the deadweight from his squad and buy a holding midfielder (think Paul Harding and Phil Robinson).
Notts play unbeaten and league leaders on Tuesday. Oh dear.

Forte's dream debut...
Now I've watched the goals I can go into a bit more detail about Saturday's fantastic win against Barnet.
Butcher opened the scoring after Mayo's long diagonal ball up to Delroy who headed to strike partner Forte who on turn flicked it on and it fell to the midfielder nicely who lashed it in on the volley from just outside the box. A fine finish with the left boot.
Forte scored his first for the club when Clapham's cross wasn't cleared properly and the Scunny man took a touch and slotted it low past the 'keeper. Another left foot finish.
His second started from a Notts free-kick in their own half. Defender Thompson punted it long which was originally cleared , but a slice clearance fell to Butch who lifted the ball over the centre defenders for Forte to chase. The striker was in the clear and calmly lifted the ball over the on rushing 'keeper with this left foot.
His hatrick was claimed before half time. Hamshaw's ball over the top allowed Forte to use his best attribute - his pace - once again he got past the defensive line and lobbed the 'keeper and tapped in from 2 yards out. A broad smile appeared on his face. He just couldn't believe his luck.
Notts fans will be hoping to see the man in white boots add to his three next weekend against the Daggers.

Forte's 1st Half Hat-trick seals amazing win...
Barnet 0 Notts County 4
Well a couple of days ago I had a dream with Notts winning 4-2 and I wasn't too far away after an unbelievable first half which meant Notts led 4-0 at half time !
What a dream debut for Jonathan Forte. A hat-trick from the on loan striker from Scunny. The first goal came from a reliable source - Richard Butcher.
More to follow when I've watched the highlights on TV on Sunday morning. ( I can hardly do a match report with Uncle Colin's reporting)
Check back tommorrow.

A quick catch up...
Today I'm back blogging. I've missed the last four games , but today I've got the DAB radio tuned in to listen to Uncle Colin at 3pm when Notts take on Barnet.
But what have I missed ?
3 concecutive losses and a good solid 1-0 away victory against Sutton last weekend. Butch scoring with a glancing header. Notts surrendered their impressive home form with two defeats in a matter of days. First losing to Rochdale 2-1 (Forrester scored from the spot) and then losing 1-0 to Bury.
Notts face either Kettering or Lincoln at home on Sunday the 30th of Nov at 1pm.
Charlie has brought in two new players on loan as the smallish squad has been hit by injuries. Lewis Neal - a central midfielder from Preston and Jonathan Forte - a striker from Scunny.
I had a dream a couple of days ago with Notts wining 4-2. Let's hope that singer Gabrielle wise words , "Dreams can come true," become reality.

Blog Stopping for the time being...
As you may have noticed I haven't written up match reports in the past week. The reason is that their has been a death in the family and it is far more important to be with them than be at Meadow Lane.
I will write a match report soon.
You Piesssssssssssssss !!!

Just seen the goals on Virgin Media...
The goals are now on the Virgin Media website and I have to say Delroy Facey's goal was absolutly fantastic. He received the ball 30 yards out on the byline , used his power and pace to get beyond the defender and produced a stunning finish.
It has to be up there to be the best goal Notts have scored this season.
Richard Butcher's goal was also quite good. The ball wasn't cleared before Butch contolled the ball and struck a sweet low shot which the 'keeper reacted late too.
It is also important to point out the Russell Hoult was not at fault for either Gills goals and should be starting against Chesterfield. Hoult received critism from me at the weekend , but the highlights showed he made some crucial saves to secure a point. (Unfortantely VM did not show the "world class" save in the dying seconds)
