  1. Morecambe always tend to give Notts a fight on Meadow Lane, Neal Ardley needs to get a similar performance as to the Carlisle game. If the players work hard, they should be able to play them off the park. Control the midfield, defends well and focus. I'm hoping for a win, though we shall see. David Vaughan should remain in the team, I think his passing could be useful. I still think three CB's would work best with the squad that we have, now normally I would be against but we have 2 good wing backs, 3 players capable of doing well in sub and 3 excellent hard working CM's. Craig Mackail-Smith and Kane Hemmings further up, Enzio Boldewijn and Jon Stead to come on once they tire.

  3. Fantastic result. I've been busy today, so I forgot all about the game. I went onto Facebook Messenger and @Magic magpie told me the score was 2-0. I couldn't believe it but before we get carried away. The focus must be on preparing for the weekends fixture, Notts are all over the place and some grounded perspective wouldn't go amiss right now. Battle, fight and COYP.
  4. Hang in there Notts! It might have made sense to throw Fitzsimons in to handle the pressure and what not, I think people should accept the odd mistake - especially in games like this. I'm more in shock that Notts are winning! COYP!!
  5. Carlisle has a very good midfield, if they control the game - Notts will struggle. Defensively, I think both teams have a concern, ourselves more than them and I really can't see anything coming from the game. It's going to be difficult with recent performance to see enough from all of the players to compete against Carlisle who have no issues creating chances. At times they might get the odd surprise result, but commonly in the games they control they do much better in. I think they'll find Tuesday fairly straight forward.

  7. 10 games remaining, all of which are make or break. With it getting to the crunch time, it's important more than ever to get three points. I'm not confident despite many fans telling me that they're optimistic about Notts gets a win. I can see it easily ending as a draw unless work has been done with regards to us sitting back too deep. I seriously would convert the system back to 3 CB's and then have wing backs. Try to get the ball forward more and tighten up in the centre.
  8. The fault today is the in-game tactics and midfield. If there was more effort and smarter play from the midfield, Notts would have controlled the game. Port Vale looked useless in midfield, however they took control and looked better as a result of that. If Notts kept the ball down, passes it around and made good runs - it would have completely been a different game. There was little to no service for the strikers. Jon Stead should have been the first off, we needed pace and although Virgil Gomis was very poor. He did force the play, issue again was the fact that too many players played below average. Ryan Schpfield did well, most of his kicking was fine. Very few times did anyone other than CMS or Stead try to get it down.

  10. Former Notts County defender Thierry Audel has completed his UEFA B License in football coaching. The French born player currently plays for Welling United in the National League South whilst under tutorship of Chris Fairclough, who played for Notts County during the 1998/99 season. He continues to work towards further establishing his new business venture Audelsports. It started in Leicester and has progressed and now extended to Nottingham. He told PON exclusively; "I have been my own client during all those years of Football and I also had the chance to learn from high standard professionals. “I decided that it was time to share, but with my own philosophy.” Thierry also said, "I have big plans for Audelsports. It is growing very fast. I dedicate time to my Personal Training activity in Nottingham and Leicester and will keep extending to try and satisfy all the needs. “Fitness is very important for many reasons. Self-confidence, Stress, Mood, Weight, Energy but MOST importantly... Your Health. Notts County has been very available in sorting me out a classroom to help me complete my UEFA B License Presentation." When asked about the current season for the magpies, he replied “I keep checking Notts County Fc results wishing them the very best. “I always had a great relationship with the club. As I am training people in Beeston, Nottingham from time to time. I like to stop by to say Hi. Actually, I brought my son to the home game against Cambridge United a few weeks ago.” Notts County currently sits rock bottom of the League Two table, 5 points adrift from safety and 2 points behind Macclesfield Town.

  11. The Newport game was a tactical error on Neal Ardley's part and a blip. I can see what he tempted to do and hopefully the fresher legs can help, however he's seen what happens when CMS doesn't start and if he has to rest him or Jon Stead - he needs to ensure one starts. I feel the game will be a draw, probably 2-2. It really wouldn't surprise me if Notts led 2-0 and conceded two goals in the second half.
  12. I think Neal Ardley's made sensible 'team' signings, Jorge Grant would have been another luxury. I feel he's worth a few points just due to his sheer quality but I would question how he could fit into the squad we have now - without looking like he did for Mansfield this past Saturday. He looked empty and unable to change the game, I rate him but I feel he's best suited elsewhere. Mansfield should be a good fit if they manage to get more time for him on the ball, I'm personally happy with the January signings we got.
  13. Newport County will play a lot like Mansfield Town, dirty and trying anything to slow the game down. They'll want to dictate the tempo and if we allow them to get a foot hold of the game, I think it will be more open. However I am confident that with the up lift in form, Notts can get back-to-back wins. Amazing turn around, yet I would be more than happy with a draw. A win just means so much more!
  14. Pride of Nottingham was at Meadow Lane to see Notts County put in their best performance of the season in a 1-0 win over Mansfield Town - see if you've made it in this week's Faces of PON! Please help share the gallery if you featured or know someone who has been. You Pies!!
