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 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.

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)

Notts drop two points in ANOTHER draw.
Notts 1 Macclesfield Town 1
The Magpies drew another game they should have easily won. Once again they played the opposition off the park and fully deserved the three points.
Notts started brightly , as they always do but stepped off the gas and Town and two great chances but 'keeper Hoult was equal to their shots.
The Town striker was clear through on goal when on-loan defender John Thompson made a superb tackle. If he had timed it wrong he would have given a penalty away and he would have been shown red. The former F*rest player played well on his debut. Looking dangerous as set-pieces.
The best chance of the first half fell to Big Delroy Facey. Excellent work from Forrester setup his strike partner and he should have burried it. From about the penalty spot with only the 'keepe to beat he shot high and wide of the post. An awful miss. I uttered the words... "He'll never score." I was made to eat my own words 3 minutes into the second half.
Shooting towards the Kop the ball sprayed loose inside the penalty area for big Delroy to shoot a tight angled shot accross the goalie and into the far side. It was a fantastic powerful shot and Facey showed his delight with his jump and punch in the air.
Notts should have gone further ahead with efforts cleared off the line by the Town defence and then left-back Clapham struck the bar for the second game running. He was so unlucky. His brilliant shot deserved a goal, hopefully he will open his account on Tuesday.
Minutes later Notts threw away the 3-points. A powerful swervy shot was dropped by Hoult , he should have palmed it further away , and with the defence static strike Yeo stroked the ball into the net. It was a poor goal to concede.
Notts was given hope with the sending off of Macclesfield's Evans. His challenge on Tann looked dreadul and could see the County defender with a broken leg. Notts took control again with some excellent passing and crossing but sadly no luck to get the win.
Notts now face two tricky away games against Gillingham and Chesterfield. Today was three points dropped so Notts need to look to extend their unbeaten run.
PS : It was great to see Hot Dog's and Coca Cola being sold by individual soles (like American baseball matches). Fun idea by Notts , hopefully it will be a success and solve the queing situation in the Kop.
My Man of the Match : Matty Hamshaw (ran the full-back ragged)
Song of the Match :
His body looks like Frank Bruno, Facey, Facey
He plays for County don't ya know, Facey, Facey
We got the lad from Gillingham,
'N' Now he's come to Nottingham,
Delroy Facey, County's 22

Super Notts make it two in a row !!!
The Magpies won away the first time this season after beating Port Vale 2-1.
Notts took an early lead when Hamshaw's quality cross was nodded accross goal by big Delroy Facey for his strike partner Forrester to head high into the net. A real quality goal which shows the partnership is starting to grow.
Notts dominated the rest of the half and should have buried Vale. Unfortantely for the Magpies they didn't take their chances and the hosts equalised in the early stages of the second half.
Myles Weston soon put County back infront with a quick corner routine. His original cross was blocked and he instinctly stuck a right foot in the way and it beat the 'keeper at his near post. It was Myles first league goal.
Charlie's side are now 11th. 2 points off the playoffs.
Also look out for a new terraced chant... "I am a County fan , I am from Nottingham..." Hopefully get a video of it at the Brentford game which is on Monday night live on Sky Sports.

Notts win for Sir Jimmy !!
Notts 2 Aldershot 1
It was an emotional day at Meadow Lane as over 6 thousand fans gave a fitting tribute to Jimmy Sirrel. A minutes applause lead by former players on the pitch was excellently observed. Both sets of fans saluting a real football character and the greatest ever manager at Notts. Songs of "Theres only one Jimmy Sirrel" and "Jimmy Sirrel's black and white army" rang round the Kop. It was now the players give what Jimmy would really have wanted - the three points.
Notts started brightly with Weston skipping past a full-back and delivering an excellent cross which Butcher headed narrowly wide. However this was one of the only bright sparks in a dull first half.
Notts did have the ball in the back of the net when Facey flicked on the ball to Forrester who lobbed the 'keeper (Stallard-esque) but was ruled out for offside.
The Shots took the lead from a corner. It was simply awful marking at the back post. Several players let the ball through and Charles was there to get a touch to it despite Hoult trying to keep it out. It looked it was going to be one of those days , but Notts replied immeditely.
Johno flicked the bal in from a free-kick to get the Kop rocking. Notts were now in the incendency. Weston proving to be the best outlet but his final ball was as cutting as previous games.
With time running out it looked like it would be the 7th draw in a row.However if you would have read my article in the Matchday Programme you would have known to stay until the final whistle.Clapham expertly crossed in for Butch to head back accross the goal and loop in somehow into the net. A 93RD MINUTE WINNER ! The Kop went mental and could finally celebate a win !
A fitting tribute to a great man. Notts are now in the top half of the table - 11th.

More news about the 6th draw in a row...
I managed to catch the highlights of the goals yesterday on the Championship and I was shocked in some of Notts poor marking. Exeter's first was simple. No midfield or defender tracking the run of Matty Gill and he simply put it in the net. Their second was similiar with unmarked players. Notts must learn quickly to keep a clean sheet (just like they did in the later stages of last season).
The Greacians marking was equally poor with Johno scoring with a free header and then Hamshaw's shot could only be parried to Sean Canham who scored his second goal of the season.
The game on Saturday is vital. Notts desperately need a victory. If the Magpies can claim the points then the start of the season will be looking a lot brighter and the confidence will ooze out.
Here is the link to the virgin media website to watch the highlights (just ignore the Tiger Woods advert!)...
