We have a number of things going on behind the scenes, but from the outside it's questionable whether or to what extent they are affecting happenings on the pitch. I doubt the lack of a DoF has affected things too much. His job now would be to scout players to bring in in the summer; now we've got the squad for the rest of the season, it's up to the coaching team to work with it. I can't help wondering whether the Saunders brothers leaving has had a negative effect. However, we do have a habit of bringing in players with a lengthy injury record, and we were over-reliant on one of them for assists last season. He's now been injured for months, and our top scorer from last season has left. If you couple that with the off-the-pitch departures, we're doing well to still be in the running for the top three. Whatever the truth of it is, we certainly need new faces on and off the pitch in the summer.

As 8 March is International Women's Day, I will generously allow all women to take part in this weekend's prediction league for free (but not necessarily to win it). All the matches kick off at 3pm on Saturday, and remember your joker! Swansea City v Middlesbrough West Brom v QPR Stevenage v Mansfield Town Wigan Athletic v Cambridge United Barrow v Accrington Stanley Salford City v Crewe Alexandra AFC Fylde v Braintree Town Southend United v Altrincham

Saturday's results: Luton Town 1-0 Portsmouth Stoke City 0-0 Watford Crawley Town 0-2 Cambridge United Peterborough United 3-1 Shrewsbury Town Cheltenham Town 1-1 Grimsby Town Harrogate Town 2-1 Accrington Stanley Oldham Athletic 0-3 Barnet Yeovil Town 2-2 Southend United --- @menzinho came out on top this round! --- And this is the updated table overall: --- This evening we've got another round on, you can enter your predictions until 7.45pm this evening. As ever, thanks for playing and see you there!

Hull City 1-2 Plymouth Argyle Preston North End 1-1 Swansea City Charlton Athletic 1-2 Barnsley Mansfield Town 1-1 Wigan Athletic Colchester United 2-1 Chesterfield (joker) Newport County 0-1 Gillingham Aldershot 2-1 Dagenham & Redbridge Solihull Moors 0-2 Sutton United

This round is for Tuesday night - don't miss out... @allardyces tash, @Blake, @cheeky~k8, @Chris, @CliftonMagpie, @DonnyNotts, @Harry Buckley, @JIMBO, @Joshua, @JustLikeJuve, @liampie, @magpiejue, @Megan_Elizax, @menzinho, @NottsLoyal, @NottsTastic, @OoooooTommy, @super_ram, @The Heff, @TheSkipper, @thommo, @upthepies

Curiously, every single one of the Football League fixtures ended 2-1 to the home team: Coventry City 2-1 Preston North End Portsmouth 2-1 QPR Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Leyton Orient Northampton Town 2-1 Bristol Rovers Grimsby Town 2-1 Fleetwood Town Port Vale 2-1 Salford City Rochdale 0-4 Barnet Tamworth 1-1 Southend United --- @ARLukomski nailed it this week with 15 points! --- Overall, @ARLukomski now has a double-digit lead over @super_ram and the championship is looking like a two-horse race (or three if I can slip myself some points while nobody is looking). --- So that's round 33. Round 34, from Saturday, will be counted at some point tomorrow. Round 35, for Tuesday night, is already up and running - go on, have a go!

Oh dear. My sympathy is limited all round. Scott Lindsay is now free to join an actual football club now, but nobody forced him to go there, did they? Here's hoping that the franchise continue to follow the Alan Hardy route to success.

It's time for another midweek prediction league round. The following matches kick off at 7.45pm on Tuesday, and remember your joker. Good luck! Hull City v Plymouth Argyle Preston North End v Swansea City Charlton Athletic v Barnsley Mansfield Town v Wigan Athletic Colchester United v Chesterfield Newport County v Gillingham Aldershot v Dagenham & Redbridge Solihull Moors v Sutton United

This round is closed and I'll post the results in the next couple of days. Round 35 is on Tuesday, so I'll post the fixtures for that in the next few minutes!

Thanks for playing, I'll post the results in the next couple of days. In the meantime, I'll post the next round if fixtures now.

Is that post intended for the Tranmere thread @Super_Danny_Allsopp?

Coventry City 2-0 Preston North End (joker) Portsmouth 2-1 QPR Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Leyton Orient Northampton Town 1-1 Bristol Rovers Grimsby Town 2-0 Fleetwood Town Port Vale 1-1 Salford City Rochdale 0-2 Barnet Tamworth 0-1 Southend United

The points are right, I just forgot to sort the table before doing the screenshot. I'll let you enjoy being fifth for a little while longer 😁

The results: Blackburn Rovers 2-0 Plymouth Argyle Middlesbrough 0-1 Watford Blackpool 3-3 Mansfield Town Stevenage 1-1 Peterborough United Carlisle United 0-0 Colchester United Morecambe 2-0 Accrington Stanley Gateshead 0-1 Altrincham Woking 1-1 Tamworth --- We all struggled this week, but the clear winner was @william1984! @william1984 - 9 @super_ram, @nottsnutter, @Megan_Elizax, @magpiejue, @cheeky~k8 - 4 @ARLukomski, @Dan, @menzinho - 3 @4everapie - 2 @DangerousSausage, @Robbie, @gtownjohnno, @Fan of Big Tone - 1 --- This is our current table! @william1984 rejoins the top five and @super_ram had passed 200 points. So now we're up to date ahead of Saturday's fixtures. Thanks for your patience, I'd love to see you all in round 33!

Have you all forgotten Delroy Facey?

A very disappointing and disjointed performance against a poor side. It was plain to see that we had important players missing, and the ones we've signed to bolster the squad haven't properly been bedded in yet. Saturday must be better, otherwise the top three will quickly be out of reach. Gordon was tenacious and the better of the two wingers. If I won a competition to play for Notts, I would stumble around a lot like Edwards did on Tuesday night - he looked a decent signing before his injury and clearly needed the match practice, but I'd have taken him and others off sooner.

Football club finances can look pretty scary. It's worth mentioning that the 1.2 million received in transfer fees came in after the reporting date, so aren't included in the figures for 23-24. They largely offset the loss for the financial year, which itself was largely down to The Nest and a couple of transfer fees. Based on that, I'd assume that we're getting closer to being on an even keel. The loans still make me nervous though!

The results for round 31: Burton Albion 1-1 Blackpool Huddersfield Town 0-0 Reading Barrow 3-0 Gillingham Fleetwood Town 2-0 Cheltenham Town Salford City 2-0 Tranmere Rovers Aldershot p-p AFC Fylde Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Yeovil Town Solihull Moors 0-1 Oldham Athletic --- @Fan of Big Tone is really up and running now, and four others made double figures too! @Fan of Big Tone - 12 @ARLukomski, @super_ram, @william1984, @menzinho - 11 @Robbie, @Megan_Elizax - 9 @DangerousSausage, @Dan - 8 @liampie - 7 @4everapie - 6 @nottsnutter, @gtownjohnno, @magpiejue, @cheeky~k8 - 4 --- It's as you were at the top, but @ARLukomski is the first player to pass 200 points. Meanwhile, @Fan of Big Tone and @william1984 are on the move... So that's us slightly more up to date. The results for round 32 will drop sometime soon, and Saturday's round is already up and running. Have a go, you know you want to!

Thanks for bearing with me - here are the points for round 30! The results: Hull City 1-2 Stoke City Millwall 2-1 QPR Leyton Orient 0-1 Stockport County Reading 1-0 Bolton Wanderers AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Bradford City Newport County 1-0 Barrow Braintree Town 1-1 Hartlepool United Wealdstone 1-1 Solihull Moors --- Well done to this round's winner @TheSkipper! @TheSkipper - 7 @liampie, @magpiejue - 6 @ARLukomski, @cheeky~k8, @nottsnutter - 4 @gtownjohnno, @Robbie - 3 @4everapie, @Dan, @Fan of Big Tone, @Megan_Elizax, @super_ram - 2 @DangerousSausage, @menzinho, @william1984 - 1 --- So here is our league table. @ARLukomski holds on to top spot, while @nottsnutter joins the top ten... I've just posted Saturday's prediction league fixtures, it would be great to see you there!
