Red Card or just a Yellow, standard of refereeing?
Thought it at the time and again seeing that, looks like a yellow. Not high, no studs, not last man.

Cal Roberts joins Scunthorpe United
Scored today. Then went off injured. Hamstring. Likely season over. How many more of these big injuries can Cal and his career take?
-
Lucas Covolan, did Notts choose the wrong Port Vale keeper?
No. Not at all. Complete hot head and erratic, exactly what Notts don't need.
-
James Sanderson
Looked decent when we've seen a few glimpses. Hopefully he can push on and impose himself from the bench in the short term
-
Fulham Goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond Joins Notts On Loan.
Seems very much in line with the other two. Decent with the ball at his feet, good shot stopper, bad decision making and prone to calamatious errors

New manager
If the brothers past 2 appointments are anything to go by, we're unlikely to know who is the running until the appointment. No doubt the usual social media culprits will claim they are 'in the know' but they'll likely know diddly squat. The only way we tend to find out about these movings is if we're after a manager currently employed and the leak will come from the other club, see Altrincham and Swansea.

Dan Gosling departs
Hasn't really worked for either party that short stint. He hasn't given anything to us, and he hasn't put himself in the shop window for anybody else either. He's in the same category as David Vaughan for me.

New Head Coach, New Ideas,Tactics, Shape & Style of Play..
I don't expect to see any massive change in the way we play, nor the formation. The recruitment team are still signing players, manager or no manager, as proven before with the signing of Langstaff. Those signings are naturally made to fit a certain role and position. What we are likely to see are smaller changes in player instructions, positioning etc.. Also, he may fancy some players in certain positions that Williams didn't. The goalkeeper position and back 3 will be interesting to see who he picks.

The goalkeeping situation
I'd be very surprised to see us shift from playing out from the back. The style of the club is clear and we recruit to match that style. We are currently at a stage where both Aidan Stone and Sam Slocombe are prone to mistakes. Agree the defence doesn't help, but the reality is that Stone doesn't save many and also gives the ball away.

Luke Williams to Swansea?
Official now.

Luke Williams to Swansea?
Let's get him moved swiftly on, pat on the back, good luck with your career, thanks for the season and a half. Looking forward to seeing the new manager and his ideas.

New manager
Oh helllllllll no to Burchnall.

Luke Williams to Swansea?
All over media, matter of an official announcement apparently. ????

Ollie Tipton recalled by Wolves.
Tipton was on trial before he signed on loan. Played some minutes in pre season.
-
The goalkeeping situation
Unfortunately, Stone isn't good enough in my opinion. He doesn't seem to have the confidence to play out from the back and his decision making is shocking at times. Slocombe is the better keeper of the 2, in the system we play. Happy to see what Tiernan brings to the fold, else we need to dip into the transfer kitty.

Ratings v Tranny
Stone - 2 - We need a new keeper if Tiernan isn't up to it. Brindley - 2 - Shambolic. Not up to the standard. Baldwin - 4 - One of his more chaotic performances. Cameron - 4 - Perhaps the better of the backline, but hardly a ringing endorsement. Nemane - 4.5- Good goal. Nothing offensively beyond that, crap at the back as per. Jones - 6 - All the decent crosses came from his side. Bostock - 4.5 - Wasn't at his unplayable best today. Austin - 5.5 - Can't really fault him. Crowley - 6 - Well marshalled but toiled away. Langstaff - 7 - What a player. McGoldrick - 5 - Off it today. O'Brien - 5 Sanderson - 5 If anybody is under the illusion that we don't need at least one defender and a new keeper - show them that highlights reel.

Match Discussion: Game 26 - Super White Army (A)
Stone still celebrating new years before remembering to dive. 1-0 tranny
-
Match Discussion: Game 23 - The Hatters (A)
Surprisingly played fairly well. Thing we have to give the MoM to the Stockport commentators, for being the most clueless commentators in the league. Think I remember them from the National League, like basketball fans trying to commentate on football.
-
Match Discussion: Game 22 - Sulphurites (A)
Stone with an excellent assist.

Match Discussion: Game 22 - Sulphurites (A)
Some fantastic defending by Brindley there to allow Harrogate their first. /Sarcasm

Where are they now : Calvin Miller
3rd tier in Scotland? Nice. Career on the up. Worrying that article says he's a natural defender. Not sure that maps with what i saw of him.
-
Luke Williams : Notts v Walsall
About as inept of a notts performance as I can remember.

Santa's wish list
We need a goalkeeper who is comfortable in possession and distribution. He has to be calm and composed. Slocombe has been a great servant to the club and has transformed himself into this role, however he is getting older and it isn't his natural game. Stone isn't good enough consistently with his distribution and he is far too erratic in decision making. Tiernan Brooks still injured?? At least 2 CBs that are good defensively and decent with the ball. Cameron, Brindley, Rawlinson and Chicksen are all fine at this level, but if we're serious about challenging for promotion, none of them are L1 standard, IMO. We need a central midfielder, desperately. Palmer is a big miss. Bostock is immense, but he's prone to knocks. O'Brien is a good backup, but he can't play 90 every game. Austin isn't comfortable in that position and gosling is a waste of a shirt. 4 signings minimum for me. GK, CB X2, CM.

Safe standing at Meadow Lane?
I stand at the top of the Kop. Still you will get the odd person, particularly when it is full, that will buy one or two tickets at the top of the Kop without realising everybody around them is going to be standing for the entire game. Either the top of the Kop, or in the centre of the Kop, is the best place acoustically and in terms of getting other fans to join in. I am fully for the allocation of an area to be safe standing. It will increase the atmosphere and allow for those that do want to stand, to do so without being moaned at by somebody who booked their ticket in the wrong place, or on the odd occasion the stewards decide they're not happy with us standing. The placement is key. If they put it at the far end of the pavis next to the family stand, nobody will go. It's Kop or nothing, for me.
