Wolves and Stripey ones also at home. I should imagine some games will be moved

One of the worst games I've ever seen was the nil nil draw at Notts County in the Cup. Can't even remember when it was, it's erased from my memory

I remember a league game against  them in 1991-92 (I think) where 3 players (can't recall who they were) lined up to take a free kick and all of them ran over the ball leaving no-one to take it.

West Brom play the previous Sunday so I expect their League Cup game to be on the Wednesday, along with Small Heath and Walsall, with Villa and Wolves on the Tuesday.

John Chiedozie 1981. Talk about after the Lord Mayor's show (although we made up for it later that season 😁)

Mods please move to the '40 year old women you think are fit" thread.

I think the last time we played them was 97 in a replay at VP. Was a bit of a shit game we won 3-0, possibly in extra time?

Home and away legs very dull if I remember rightly.

That was the FA Cup. Only LC Games I can remember were back in the 80s when they were a top flight team. They beat us all three league games at their place, a couple were pastings, did the LC double over us. The only win I can remember at their place was during the same early 80s when we won 6-0.

Could be an interesting game. Seen a bit of Notts County over last couple of years (only went down to watch originally to see what the hype was about with this chap called Grealish). Last year, they were terrible. Filled their squad with players who were heading for retirement and predictably ran out of gas in November and they went down.

Moniz has brought in nearly 20 new players over the summer so they will be a completely different prospect, especially as he has promised to attack. They've done well to get people like Jon Stead in as well as a few younger players from around Europe. They fancy a tilt at promotion from league 2.

Obviously we should beat them but we should have beaten Orient last year.

I was in the shop in town earlier to buy a Leicester ticket and asked when the Notts Co game went on sale. He didn't have a clue when. Not very helpful but at least he was honest!

Sod all to do with Notts County, but this sticker always amuses me.
