I hope we sign Sheehan, though if we do - we should nail the contract length down to how long we can see him being able to contribute to the first team. 3 years maybe? This said we need to reduce the squad and sign a proper CB.
-
The youth divisions are incredibly close and our youngsters have done amazingly well, a narrow 1-0 defeat isn't the ideal result (I had hoped they would remain top) but I am sure they'll come back stronger. Well done to the youngsters for their progress so far.
-
It's not quite the million pound question, it's actually simple. Moniz adjusted things so we improved at home, yet around the same time our away form was going out of the window. I think it's partly due to tactics and confidence - The lone striker works with certain teams but not all, when you play teams who have tall physical centre back (a lot of League Two teams have these) you will always struggle to a degree. I hope that one away win will make the difference but I don't think it's actually that simple. Simple in the terms of finding a team which can perform away from home, handle the pressure and 'home' crowd - yet can be encouraged from our away support which is very good IMO. We need to stop changing sides so easily though, yes when players perform badly for x games but just one seems extreme to me.
-
I honestly feel some things have improved, yet I think if there will be anything un-doing Ricardo's time here - it will be the fact he isn't accepting his ideas aren't always working. @Notts26 keeps mentioning the lessons, I also spoke about Mansfield earlier in the season being our wake up call but the mistakes continue and we haven't learnt. Most fans will know I have backed him, I still will but unless we start to pick up - he will lose more and more fans. This is something we cannot afford but if he's sacked, it should be because he's underachieving with us. The Ladbrokes deal was a shinning light for us, as was the extra money Mr Trew put in and perhaps it could be better spent. I hope he turns the corner, though I am losing faith in that.
-
Good luck to the youngsters, they seem to have really come on leaps and bounds since Mike Halsall took over officially. I hope they can retain their position because it would give them extra celebrations this time of year and although I am sure they wouldn't want to get complacent - It's just very pleasing. Hopefully we can keep better tabs on the youngsters between @shepshedpie and @Northants Pie. COYP!!

The Notts Ladies are really moving forward and making progress, so it's pleasing to see someone newly arrive speak wisely about the club he chosen to join. Hopefully it will allow the ladies to continue moving forward, that Matt's contacts can aid our girls towards rivalling the bigger clubs next season. Not that I personally see Notts as underdogs, I think we should be one of the outside favourites for winning the league/cups. Notts Ladies have a very talented squad which just needs a few additions IMO.
-
I don't doubt his attitude for a second but I do feel he's been too modest, compared to some players - he's a far more consistent than some of the players who get the nod week in and out. Yet, I do feel he wanted to give a lot more, you can see this when he returned to action. Hopefully he can bag a few more goals because that is all he needs IMO. He offers pace, desire and gives 100%. What more can we ask for apart from a few more goals?
-
Brilliant achievement by all and I am pleased with out own efforts to promote this! Though the word being passed via the Italian Magpies and the kindness shown from Juventus fans in supporting this really helped Notts clinch this. Yet each section of the world wide fan base really must take a pat on their shoulder. COYP!
-
Hopefully the consistency will start to settle and the away form improves, if it doesn't pick up in the next few days - fans will quite rightly become more and more vocal. Only the board will just how much time remains on Moniz side, yet I am prepared to back him. Lets hope he starts to turn it around and speak up (like he was at the start of the season).
-
I heard about this from @Drivingmenotts earlier. It's something I feel is well deserved and I am pleased that he should end his career here, yet with the way he's going - we may sign an extension to his current deal but not as a defender! Good to see a committee rallying around to get 'Steady Eddie' a farewell game. This should prove to be popular and I hope fans support it well.
-
Oh dear, I see @DangerousSausage is eager to watch this. Don't do it.

Without seeing the highlights it's hard to call if he was interfering, yet the outcome won't change no matter who is wrong or right. @Piety - It looks by the rules you provide, the referee made the right call.
-
If we can get our form away from home sorted, it would change things - even if some of the games we picked up draws (rather than loses). I understand the calls for Moniz to go and the out cry. Yet I am concerned that we may not be giving him the time he requires but I do admit, results work against giving him time. Good read Tom, thanks.
-
Typical really, Derry shines and Maddog wallows in defeat. We suddenly fall back to earth but the transition is still something I am mindful of. Not sure the referee made the right call but we need to be better.
-
It will be interesting to hear how Derry is received and how our ex manager responds, I suspect it will be mutually respected. I just hope his disappointment of being sacked, is the reason Cambridge play in similar fashion to Salford City. Within time I believe Derry will be a good manager. Let's get the result Notts and push on from here, unity is the answer and confidence building is something we require ourselves. COYP!
-
Yes, pacey player whom was heavily linked with us - rumour has it he snubbed wages but you can never believe everything you read.
-
It was a very good result and pleasing to see Notts do so well, especially so early.
-
I think it was Jermaine Jenas who spoke about us not being able to string two passes, yet it was frustrating to watch and I questioned when would Notts respond? Yet for me, this is what the cups all about and I won't allow any negativity to spread within myself. That said, I understand concerns and others feelings - I really do. Just for me, there's no sweet moment knocking our a Non League team - whereas there is for Salford CIty and I feel we must praise them. They played well, we didn't turn up and we just looked out of our depth. Don't allow these types of performances back into the league, if we can manage this - we should be okay. Chalk it off and give our opposition the credit they deserve!
-
Keep your chin and head up Jon, sometimes tactics means changes have be made but Moniz must realise we look better with two up top. We have two strikers who can score in league games and another in the reserves. I hope our manager is listening, really I want to see better communication and progression - The signs on the pitch concern me with players scrobbling, we had this last season.
-
Great stuff Cobby!
-
I'm pleased in a sense, I explained why within the community but I wish him well. When we signed him, I felt he would be a big signing for us but sadly this hasn't been the case. Yet, I wish him well from here on with his career. If he comes back and eventually features, so be it but right now we don't really need him.

So far this season, we haven’t yet witnessed a settled Notts County but we have been entertained by a couple of outstanding performances. With the arrival of Izale McLeod, Notts do look much stronger up front and the loan arrival of Alan Sheehan does provide the back with much needed cover.At the recent home game against York City, I mentioned to a friend about how comfortable we looked without so many of our foreign legion players. I’m not trying to suggest that they’re to blame for the inconsistency, this seems only natural with the amount of arrivals we have seen during this summer but what it does make me think, is some are not ready for League Two football. With the exception of a few, I think the majority have settled well and contributed nicely already. Yet, on appearance it does seem that a couple need more time to settle to the hustle and bustle of this league. For me, one stand out signing from our foreign legion (which is how the majority refer to them) is Gill Swerts. It was interesting to see him in pre-season looking already settled, as he mingled with fans after coming off at games like Carlton. Yet each time I have seen him, he seems steady and reliable. He did extremely well in my opinion in our game at Meadow Lane against Luton Town. With several players on the verge of returning, it leaves questions as to which players will nail down their positions but for me, I would give Gill Swerts his starting position back. This said, with Elliot Hewitt coming in and doing well – Would it be fair on him after the performances against Crawley Town and York City? This weighs up some of the dilemmas Ricardo Moniz has with his now current 41 man squad. It also begs the question about players like Wes Atkinson, Colby Bishop, Rhys Sharpe, William Hayhurst and Scott Bennett. Will we see any of these feature? Also – is Taylor McKenzie still injured? This would see that Kyle Da Silva, Ronan Murray, Robert Milsom would be fighting for a place once they return from their injuries. There is so much, which can unsettle a squad, which can lead to inconsistency and Moniz in my opinion really needs to balance his selection decisions. He’s doing well to make players fight for their places, yet I am unsure if some of the players like Gill Swerts deserve to be benched. I ask you, what do you think? Does Gill Swerts deserve a place within the starting 11? Does anyone else deserve to be starting more regularly? Have your say below.
