Nervous Wreck; since the last time we met, we were all excited with the new players coming in. All in all, we've made close to 17 signings and we're looking to add a few more, especially in defence, Perhaps a RB and Solid Centre Back.

Do we take Pre-season with a pinch of salt, or do we look at it as to where we can improve? We have been given a test over the last couple of weeks.

First up was Alfreton Town, we went behind to a good goal from them.

Now last year we would have capitulated and lost the game. But not this time around, as it seems Ricardo Moniz had instilled some character to our line-up. Especially in the forward line, where we have been told, it's now time to get bums off seats and get people excited.

Now we move onto League opposition, Port Vale, Grimsby Town & Scunthorpe United. All Lost, so now we discus on PON where we went wrong, and according to the Majority of members on PON. We desperately need both a Strong Leader in the CB role, and also RB and the side seems quite disjointed in defence. This could also be due to our new goalkeeper in Scott Loach. I hope he learns well under Roy Carroll.

So if we can sort out the Defence, we should be alreet (alright) and you can see, we're definitely not lacking in creativity, according to the Comments on here and other Social Media sites, we just need to ball to manoeuvre another way and you get the feeling that we'll be cheering (hopefully more than sighing).

 

#Wheelbarrowpoints;

This is a Hashtag that is moving in an upward movement over here. So let me explain the Concept of #Wheelbarrowpoints. Back on May 9th V Tampa Bay Rowdies, at Landsdowne Place. One of our members, Stephane (Villa Fan) http://www.bytownboys.ca/ said he needed something to cart the Massive Bass Drum up the 1.5 Mile march, From the Pre match Pub to the Stadium. So another member, Andrew said he had a Wheelbarrow that we could store at the Pub.

When i got wind of this apparent agreement, I Went ballistic ha ha. I started posting the Wheelbarrow Song on their Twitter & FB feeds. Then when I went to the Bar on the 9th and I just let rip with the Wheelbarrow Song and as you have probably seen in the video, Hopefully you can see it; https://www.facebook.com/SBMAVFC/videos/10152891289676547/.

Now we are on an 11 game unbeaten run, and are 6 points clear at the top of the League. So as you can tell, singing the wheelbarrow song for the First time in almost 20 years, with other fans is very special, and now we do it every game. But obviously we change County" to Fury"

By the time I speak to you next time, we’ll flying up the league and the in the 2nd round of League Cup, with at least 20 goals to our name, then I fell out of bed.

Come on you Pies!

Come on you Fury!!

Quite eerie how you are spot on with this mate!

Always a fun and enjoyable read, as it's good to know what a fan leaving a way from Notts thinks. We'll get you back one day!

The defence looks better now the squad has settled, Moniz must have been trying to keep his options open so that he could access the players better.

Good read Canadian.

What I have read from comments, it does not sound like Loach was to blame for the bad pre-season defeats. Grimsby seemed to be about odd choices but its working now, nice write up Canadian.
