Yet, with the spine of Notts County's 2015-16 squad being quite varied, it is a concern of mine about how these players will settle down. I also wonder just how many are in fact Ricardo's men, as Head of Requirement Guy Branston appears to have ideas above his station. After the recent media-related mi

Speaking about the injury to Thompson, Nolan told the Nottingham Post: "It didn't look good, but speaking to him afterwards
