Betfred had to sneak the dig in at Wrexham. I don't think there's any need for it this season, as whilst they are not doing great - it's a pointless rib. Yes, we both came up last season, but it's irrelevant now when comparing us to them. I do like the stat though, it's nice to know.

Sky tend to be 100% neutral; they're far better than BT Sports. I don't have Sky, so there's no chance of recording it, but I do wonder if @william1984, will record it. It's good to be able to go back and watch what the pundits do say, along with recalling moments of the game where you could do with seeing a second view of it.

Always with the same smile, I am pleased he's back in management. I heard that he was taking time off to deal with something personal, but then you think everyone has bills to pay. Neal Ardley is a good manager; he made Sollihull Moors a much better team. I think he will make York City hard to beat. Best wishes to him.

This won't change much for me, I am mindful of what I eat, but I won't suddenly start worrying that a bit of ice cream is going to cause me issues. We've been having milk for decades now, something which we shouldn't have been encouraged to drink or have with our cereal. People once said it was good for you, now it's known to be something we should be reducing. In 20–30 years, everything we eat will be bad for us that isn't natural, but I doubt we will go back to eating the basic things our bodies were designed to eat solely. Besides, we only live once and people should just be mindful of what they put into their bodies.

@liampie I haven't seen it as I am upstairs in my room, but it should be made available online even if it's slightly edited. I will have a look later when I get a chance to look into it. ????????

I may take advantage of some of the games, probably not MK Dons or Salford as I will be at the latter game. This will still sell well, but Notts could have published this information sooner and really brought a hype around it. If they think fans will opt to stay at home instead of going to the game, hence why it's only recently been announced - it seems unlikely. Surely they know our fans would prefer to be at the game live? There's no substitute for it.

It's got to be Adam Chicksen, as playing Will Randall would go against what Luke Williams says and has been known to do. I mean, it's a tough game, so why play someone who might not be up to speed yet? We know what to expect from Chicksen. Whilst I am delighted to know Randall is finally recovered, I think it's unrealistic to expect him to come in to a big game like this - after being out for so long with a nagging injury.

I believe one of the youngsters we had was from our youth team, least that was what I were informed at the Nuneaton game. This might have been the other lad, but he didn't impress me with his warming up. The other small lad, seemed far more capable and looked like a good keeper.

Supposedly this is footage of how footballers used to train. It reminds me of a group of children who are scared to get their clothes dirty in PE, just in case their mothers are mad about the mess they made. ????

MK Dons will be a tough team to play against, as they are much better at home. I don't think they will leave as much space open as they did against Crewe. The thing is, MK Don's started off brightly, but I think they massively started to underestimate Crewe who pushed them back. MK Dons for the most part of that game did leave much to explore, but that's away from home. Having seen all of their highlights so far this season, plus watching some extra footage of extended games, I can safely say that they should be much more positive within their play. They have a tendency to play long balls from the back, whilst they are feeling the team out and attack with more speed when the game opens up. If they can control the game, we'll see less of them lumping the ball forward and more of them trying to pass with a real turn of pace. When defending, MK Dons will adopt a compact and organized strategy. This creates an opportunity for us to exploit the gaps in their defence through clever passes or powerful shots from outside the penalty area. Teams like Doncaster had their better chances from distance, with Craig MacGillivray not looking particularly good from these types of strikes. I hope we can play in such a calm way, that we use our ability to play in narrow space and pace to and around, making MK Dons have to pay attention. This would make the pressure more intense for them and less likely something they would cope well with. If we just run at them and put crosses into their penalty box, 90% I believe will be collected by either their keeper or by a defender who will just clear it.

I think it's a bit of a weird decision. I do agree, Peterborough seems to be wanting to hold onto him without completely writing him off as a bad transfer. I thought he would have done okay with them, but allowing him to join Fleetwood who are struggling just seems odd to me. It could be somewhere he can contribute, but considering how unwelcome he has been at Peterborough. He's gone into another somewhat hostile environment. They've sacked their manager, aren't doing that well in the league and loan players do tend to take the brunt of criticism. If he doesn't do well, I can see his morale completely being shot. Whereas he could hit the ground running, help them lift up the table - which just seems unlikely to me. I think they'll continue to be average even with this signing being good on paper.

Well, it will give him the chance to refine his managerial skills as a coach and when the time is right - he might be able to move back into management. I do hope he can settle with Wolves and manage to remain there for a few seasons. It would allow him to get his coaching career back on track if he could. Things may be out of his hands here which prompted the move. It might be that Wolves wanted him or, he applied for the position. I don't know, I'm not really bothered to look into this further. Ian Burchnall is a complete waste of time as far as I am concerned. The feeling I have about him, isn't one I wished to have, and I don't think much of hum. As I have said before, he used a small minority of fans to complain about Notts fans as a whole, with the sole intention of using it to explain why he was running off to Forest Green Rovers. Rather than leaving acknowledging the support he was given and the disloyalty he showed towards something he spent the most part of the season declaring as a long term project. ????

Tony Battersby played for us and MK Dons, I liked Tony. ????

Fans of Harry Potter won't be happy. Even Hogwarts has had an inspection.

I used to have a soft spot for Blackpool, until I learned more about what a lot of their fans are like - much like Grimsby Town. They're rife with people who have grand delusions. They did well to make the Championship, let alone the Premier League. I don't think they have enough fans to be much higher. We are talking about how great it is for us hitting over 10k, they barely make 11.5k. Also, yes, I think even we would struggle in the Championship, but we are lucky to be situated where we are. The population of Blackpool is roughly 141k. You would think they could muster more than 12k with a stadium the capacity of 16,616. Their owner is dubious, but they need to support the club not him.

What we don't see or hear is someone in the same office shouting "sit down you, guunnneeerr". ???? This wouldn't happen with the BBC, they're all too stiff to celebrate.

I didn't think David McGoldrick had the best of games by his standard; he did some good stuff but in the first half he seemed to struggle. In the second half, I felt similar, but he did have spells where he made important challenges, with times of neat passing. I think even 6.5 is quite generous for him. I'd probably settle for a 6. He didn't play any better than Jones.

I was told on Saturday that Notts are expecting the gates to be over 10k for the majority of home games. Whilst we are performing well and winning games, fans will come. It's a good thing as I feel it's helped with the atmosphere. Yes, there are some annoying individuals who show up and know absolutely nothing about the club. I am starting to learn to ignore them. This past Saturday was great though! Those near me were up for the game. We should be having one of those games by the end of the month when the club promotes cheaper tickets, those I am dreading due to my anxiety. The higher our gates are, the more money the club makes so it's win, win.

Their goal, it was superbly created and taken. I retract my comment in the match discussion that they didn't deserve to score, they deserved that. I just felt otherwise they didn't pose much threat, and despite thinking when it happened that it was a good goal, I felt it was more given by poor defending.

I think some fans might still be raw about Ruben Rodrigues choosing to move on from Notts. Personally, I will always show an interest in someone who contributed to our progression. Oxford United fans must stay patient, if they are not using him to the best of his ability, then their manager must review his role for us and try to bring that into their own tactics. He'll be up to speed not before long, providing nutmegs and quality assists. I'm pleased they've started well, as I thought they would struggle this season. It would be nice if Ruben played a big role in it.

@Piethagoram He comes across as a bit of a wally there. It looks like someone slapped him before with a wet fish. Wouldn't you agree @super_ram? John Coleman looks like he's been given a few facial chops with a wet fishy. ???? At least he felt professional enough to take off those tinted red glasses. It's difficult to take the man serious, when he's complaining about aspects of a game, where his own side did far worse. I went back to watch the Jodi Jones incident, it wasn't dangerous play. Their lad threw himself into the ball. Jodi did well to limit the danger by quickly retracting his foot, not that the Accrington player did try to milk his theatrics. Jodi was kicked, tripped, taken out throughout the game. In the first half, I remember three challenges which should have seen an Accrington player carded but didn't. However, I would rather say that Accrington did well for the most part. Their game plan just massively lacked any creative ideas. They played well, just very routine and predictable, but I can see why they do well in general.

I would hope he settles down now. He has the ability to be a good finisher for most Non-League teams. If they play him as a striker, he should do well for Ilkeston Town, which is where we signed him from. It's a bit of a homecoming for him, with him being from Derby and having started his career with them. I last kept tabs on him when he played overseas in Sweden.

I thought Josh Andrews did well, although he did show some poor finishing. I put that down to him rushing due to the opportunity decreasing with how our players would quickly get into position with what chances he did get. His goal, an excellent showcase of his ability to know where the goal is. Shaun Whalley is a good player but unfortunately, well past his best now. At 36-years-old, I would be surprised if he didn't retire with them now. Andrews is only 21, on loan from Birmingham and is highly rated amongst their setup. He just needs to work on his shooting, but as we have seen strikers enjoy plenty of good chances and at Notts, he would get them. I said to @super_pie, that he would make a great option to come on from off the bench or just when we need someone to hold the ball up. With his towering height, he would be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to receiving our accurate crosses, transforming into a true target man.

Tin hat's on folks, Luke Williams will be linked before you know it. ???? I would be trying to get behind the manager and hoping that togetherness can bring better results, it's still very early in the season. So, joking aside. I do wonder why Fleetwood have dismissed their manager. They're not a League One team, in my opinion they would be good to stay up. Is it 9 seasons they've been punching above their weight? That sounds a bit disrespectful, but it's their highest level they've ever played. As I said, I would have imagined them coming down sooner. Considering how long they have managed to remain in League One, I think they could afford to give the manager longer.
