I believe the performance will be better, but I want to see the lads show that they are trying. This doesn't mean I don't think they are, but having watched the Cambridge United game and seeing us unable to really trouble them even though their keeper got sent off, resulting in them going down to 10 men. How vital that game was, we didn't give anywhere near as good of an account that we should have. Barnet shouldn't be underestimated, but on paper it shouldn't be as difficult. There needs to be more urgancy to get the ball forward, and certainly more zonal awareness at the back. James Belshaw can't be left exposed so easily, because these 3 remaining games could ease pressure off us if we handle them right and the results go our way. I agree that having 4 at the back would give us some stability. It could always switch during the game, as I also like the idea of two strikers. Now it is crucial we get the most out of what remains, and I just hope the results go our way. As per usual, and I keep saying this, it will go down to the very last game of the season.

Disgraceful! And now they have Essex's finest ****head as the owner. Wait for them to become Chelsea's reserve team and rely heavily on the connections of his playing days, if anyone thinks John Terry owning a football club is a good thing needs to be mindful how this may potentially unfold.

It's why they brought in those other moneybags I wish not to name, in order to further band roll the club but that indidual appears to be only want involvement when they are higher up. The amount of losses is a disgrace, and I don't see how it's fair to bank roll that amount of debts. I hear someone saying, hold up, wait a minute.... Our owners wiped off a large amount of historical debts that were deliberately hidden during multiple takeovers. There's a difference between covering past debts due to mismanagement, and a club over spending to buy themselves out of a league they shouldn't even be in. Their rise to the EFL wasn't amazing like it was portrayed; it only happened because of the involvement of the squad of 92. I have more respect for Hashtag United.

Mark Stallard made comments about the keeper that came on for them, and that's probably their excuse, but it's not good when the offending player was sent off. It's no punishment to allow them to bring in a replacement; they should have addressed this in the extension window. It's not an injury, or a reasonable alloweance. Effectively they might have well had undone the suspension, because bringing in a replacement effectively does this. This is an overreach and a clear instance of Cambridge United abusing the loan system to rectify a behavioral decision. As their keeper didn't have to hand the ball, it was an incredibly stupid action which should be correctly punished. Unfortunately, this is a get out of jail free card for them. The fact they have been allowed to unfairly bring in a keeper to replace a suspended player is an absolute joke.

Where's the punishment? He handled the ball like a goof, and tried to claim that it wasn't. Allowing Cambridge to bring in a keeper because they decided to have someone untested as their secondary choice, and despite their number 1 being sent off is absolutely clueless. I wouldn't be complaining if it was due to injury, but he got suspended for trying to prevent a goal scoring opportunity. If the ball would have gone into the net, that's not the point. What is, is the fact that he handled the ball and has been given a suspension. It's not just unfair, it's borderline cheating, and it shouldn't have been approved. Notts and other clubs should put in a complaint, but I don't really think we have the guts to make reasonable statements about this sort of thing anymore. Perhaps it's for the best, but it's still unfair.

It's all true, and factual, so not this time. Nothing allegedly about it, there's videos of him doing naughty things, he's even joked about some of his past habits on podcast, one where he was joined by Robbie Fowler. Sniff... Sniff...

🤔 What gave you that impression? He's estimated to have near £40 million-pounds, but that's not enough for a League Two team. He could have more or less, but without using his connections he's got limited time to put his money where his mouth is. I am surprised he's even past the ownership approval based on all this. The remortgaging of his house, has gambling issues, and is involvment in risky cryptocurrency plans. There's a lot being said about his house recently, but during his playing days he was connected to alsorts of dodgy stuff.

I know how you feel, but I wish him well personally. I wouldn't go as far to say I am a York City fan or they are my second club, which seems to be a common thing for Notts fans to be saying. I want York City to succeed as the underdog and a former club that once was in the EFL. I do care about Rochdale, it's a scummy area and the club are where they deserve to be. I hope they sink in the playoffs.

Mark has always been like family to me. Although we drifted apart a few years ago, he has consistently provided support-not just for me, but for my entire family. I wished he would consider coming back here, because he massively cared and tried to help. He's a very good chef though, and I have enjoyed home-made food made by him such as burgers. I don't know anybody who focuses so much on the quality of his food, or what goes into his meals. He doesn't just put anything in, but what is quality and fresh. Hopefully, he manages to get his portable business going one day because I have no doubt it would be a success.

I am glad York City have gone back top, for a point it looked like Rochdale might sneak the top spot but York seem to have got their act together. It shows Maynard clearly works well with the right players, and he probably needed more time to establish his way with us - where he can do it almost instantly with them as I suspect he has more of a say on the recrutiment. Rochdale I really hope fail to gain promotion, but I have to give them credit for the amount of points they have taken in 44 games. It's still all to play for, but I hope Boreham Wood or Carlisle United gain promotion. Rochdale is a hell hole, and their fans are awful. Very thickle, very much thought they didn't deserve to be in the National League and act they have a god given right to promotion.

How vein do you have to be? I am sorry to be negative off the cuff, but John Terry is going to be Colchester United's Alan Hardy. He'll turn the club into his own image, use Chelsea and other clubs to feed them. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes as far to involve himself in the squad selection, and making life a nightmare for those trying to run the club. He has a massive ego, where he has to do vidoes with all his awards on view. Colchester United will end up being just another vanity project to stroke his own ego. I hope the U's players keep their wives away from him too. Terry should stick to managing his gimmick football club, in the baller league.

But Notts owners aren't investing in the squad, or buying the league. This confirms it! 🤣 I am very proud of the way the clubs are being run and operated, I do wish they would be more family focused and a little more open spirited towards all in the community. Yet none of this is down to the finances, and how fantastic it is that for once we are oeprating in a means that the club is safe, not just now but for the future too. Imagine if we beat Coventry and made it to League One when Alan Hardy owned us, how long until he ran out of money by throwing what he had at players and stuff? I appreciate the majority of improvements, but I still resent the focus on using the club to pally up with Ex-Premier League stars. Congratulations to the Reedtz family for making Notts healthier as we move forward.

Today's been difficult again, but I have made the most of it. Tomorrow regardless of how I feel, I am going to see Super with Jake. I have been talking to Mark (old admin) about the meals he cooked and provided feedback on the last two dishes he made. He's doing the job of a saint, and I can't thank him enough for doing it. It's not for any other reason than wanting to help Super and provide some quality food. I hope the rain isn't around tomorrow, or the wind. It's Berlin weather at times (take my breathe away).

It wasn't a good day for me, but I still got things done. I'll take the days when I can at least still do things, even if they aren't the best. Not much I can say, I haven't done anything except some TV shows and YouTube. Nobody really is interested in the coding side, I don't mean this to be taken the wrong way but it's hardly interesting. I suppose, some might be happy to know that I have released a free resource and one paid item, but only the free app has had 3 people download. I really don't expect to sell much, but any others with sites like PON will be helping to fund us if they do. As I am reinvesting any of the sales back into the server to get things efficient and sustainable.

As much as I love Mark Stallard, his comments about Cambridge United seem incredibly biased, because if I take myself away from being a Notts fan and I am not afraid to give them credit they have been outstanding. They have wanted every ball, worked for every goal and yes there's some sly stuff like manhandling and simulating fouls but that doesn't deflect from them having been by far the best team. They have been very good, and that would always make it hard for Notts. We have been poor, and quite a shambles in what is a 6 pointer. Even after sending someone off and them being down to 10 men, we still haven't been good enough. I hope we aren't bottling the automatics without a fight, because by today's performance we don't deserve it which is a shame because we've been class at times. I don't think our away form has been good enough, but dust ourselves off and make the last 3 games count for something.

How can anyone defend Jake Eastwood for clearly handling the ball outside of the box? I thought the referee wasn't going to issue the red card, but even Maz was being fouled in the penalty box when trying to turn with the ball. Being shoved and pushed, it might seem like a soft call but it was two incidents back to back. The defender should have been carded. Have you tried signing in and out again?

Defensively, Notts are being too soft and we are allowing them to out muscle us. It's difficult to see how we can get into this when Cambridge United are playing so well. They look really up for it, and I fear a third goal would make any comeback hard. I believe Notts does have the quality to salvage the game but watching it unfold, we might need a change at half time. We have looked okay in spells, moving the ball around but we rely too much on moving behind the ball than going into space in front. Cambridge just press and look threatening every time they get the ball, and unlike Notts they are willing to run with the ball. That forces things to happen, makes defences panic but we are just very passive right now. 2-0 down, it doesn't look good.

Hopefully, it does ease up and goes away with time. Keep us posted with your journey, as we'll encourage and support you. 💪🏻

I'm nervous, very.. I don't normally feel like this but I don't want the result to not go our way, and for fans to feel disappointed. We need to remain optimistic and hopeful that the automatics can be earned. I just hope the lads don't allow the pressure to build and impact how they go about their performance, Notts needs to be strong and determined. It's good to see Jodi Jones on the bench, but I hope we only bring him on if we need to. The starting lineup I am happy with, I hope Lucas Ness continues to shine as his presence in the squad has been exactly what we need. Cambridge United are a good side, I doubt it will be straight forward and I expect them to make it difficult. I just hope we take our time, make good movement and work on creating goalscoring chances. Combining that creativity with unity at the back, staying alert to danger and protecting James Belshaw. I hope you managed to source one, me and my friends weren't able to get hold of tickets. I've seen you a few times at away games, I think certainly one was Newport at the beginning of the season.

Will give it a watch, always looking for things to watch in the background as I do stuff. There's a new season of FROM coming out, but I am currently watching The Boys. So, it will be nice to have something in addition to break things up, as I fall back to watching YouTube and things like ThatChapter comes on, and I am a lititle sick of it even though I do like the channel. Oh, I have also been watching the Tulsa King. Thanks for the recommendation, Tone.

Tis my job, Mr T. I pity the fool who wouldn't look after their father. The walk, and time out, was nice. Even the meal we had, though there were parts in hindsight I would pass on but I won't complain. Live and learn. Peace and quiet, amongst all that good stuff. I really hope it isn't the onset of an hip problem, and that you manage to get some of the weight off. It sucks being on a diet, of a diet, of yet another diet but health is very important. I wouldn't read too much online, but I do acknowledge it can be useful. Just make sure you get yourself seen if it persists, because a good doctor will have you on the mend. The majority of my weight came on from dislocating my knees multiple times, and the reduced walking. Once the weight came, I wasn't able to shake it off like I once could. It doesn't help when you are told is x, but it's mostly y. It gives you a false idea on how to combat it, when it really does come down to diet and cutting back 90% of what is enjoyable. I am not the biggest fan of plain water, but it makes a huge difference and it does help. That makes it more worthwhile to motivate yourself, and hopefully a little tweak will help you Anticlough.

I went briefly with Cheeky to take over some meals Mark had made for my dad. I would have gone earlier and been there for longer but I was asked to go later on. It was nice to spend the time we did, plus I do hope he enjoys the food. I'm very thankful to Mark and his mum for their effort and consideration, as the meals will help Super. Later on, Cheeky and I are going out for a walk along the canal. Possibly we will eat out, but we have no solid plans as such just yet. It will be nice to have a walk with my children, we used to do this very often when they were little.

I feel like a right grumy sod now, thank you, Michael. 🤣 No you are absolutely right, and the pain doesn't really compare to losing loved ones. I would happily just ignore the pain if I could have time with friends and loved ones who have moved on but the only thing I can do is try to avoid being irritated by ignorant people. It was more disappointment that it feels like it set me back, more than anything however annoying they were.

I'm really worried about the quality of our injured players, but Jodi Jones should be back soon. We need to make sure that those who are available have enough to push us over the automatics zone and stay there.

The whole thing has a political undertone about it, but it's still cool. Russia and China are working together to get to the moon. It's a new space race, but I am a bit concerned about human interference with such an important part of our solar system. That tints the mission somewhat, but the politcal side needs to be avoided (so I will shut up). On a different note, I saw some flat-earthers have a meltdown while watching the live transmission. I highly recommend it: grab some popcorn and watch some hutter madness as to why it's fake. Why we can't get out of our own orbit and all that other uneducated nonsense. 🍿
