Update. Goal for Stuttgarter

Full Time. Notts have to settle for a draw.

Let's begin with the positives. The players have all got valuable minutes in their legs during this three match tour of Germany.

Becoming match fit is very important to start the season with & the players are well on their way to that goal.

It was nice to see Jodi Jones get some minutes in the second half of this match & he looked sharp.

Good to see Notts take the lead in a match & create a few chances too. Stuttgarter were much more to Notts's level so it was easier to judge where Notts actually are.

I know that the result of a friendly match is not as important as the performance, but it would have been nice for Notts to have held on to the lead..

I think Rod McDonald did well, as did the trialist Keeper. Jodi did ok when he came on too. Jodi & Will playing in the number 10 AM role, interesting.

Being critical, I do think Notts need three or four more players to be a side that can realistically challenge for promotion. I think we need a good striker with a record of scoring goals, an attacking midfielder & a good goalkeeper. .

Also, I don't think Martin is anywhere near knowing who his starting 11 will be. By the way, Jatta didn't start for the B team tonight, so he's had no game time with only just over two weeks till the start of the regular season.

To play away to these strong teams in Germany drawing one, lose by the odd goal in another, is fine. We should 'take it' and build on it.

But this is the main bit

I'm praying that the club share this assessment, otherwise it could be a long season

@theAnticlough Martin did say in his pre match interview that he knows where Notts need new players & he is working with the Notts recruiters to bring them in.
