Blink1862

He looks like a useful footballer, and his previous experience sounds like it can transition to English football. If Mai Traore has the right attitude, he'll use this move to help us climb out of League Two or attract better opportunities for himself down the line. Somewhere in the middle would be nice, but he sounds very promising.

Let's face it, the previous owners in Trew and Hardy neither knew what it took to find and encourage good players nor harbour a supportive fan community. I would fear a fan zone under them, especially the Trews. While a live game of Cluedo might be fun, I wouldn't want the politics causing alienation of the fan base. To get on the subject, I think you can see the stats side of the recruitment coming into it now that things have settled. The club is doing wonders in identifying players. Some haven't worked, like Will Randall. I think that's more down to the player than the recruitment itself. There will be fails and duds, but when you are winning games, it's a lot easier to foster that winning mentality. The first season, we signed what we could. The campaign after that, the real squad building started to take place and in time it led to investing properly into the team. With the current campaign being the best season, I feel the recruitment can't be faulted. A strong focus on fixing the goalkeeping and defensive issues, adding to the wider weaknesses, especially in terms of the ability to defend. Yes, I would like to have had Macaulay Langstaff replaced earlier, but I think waiting until January made the board realise what funds remain would be best spent going for promotion. It's nice to read and feel optimistic about every signing, without worrying if they will fit or do well. That's a big, big improvement, don't you think?

It’s truly touching to see how passionate Dan is about Notts. It really highlights the unique bond between a player and his home crowd. Let’s keep the support going strong!

Charlton will go for experience; they like big names and managers who have enjoyed a level of sustainable success. I doubt Luke Williams is on their radar; teams may be looking at him, but I doubt anyone will take that gamble early on without our agreement.

Luke Williams is very detailed in his approach to coaching; he thinks a lot about protecting his players first and foremost. That’s a great thing, as some managers will insist more from players due to their position being on the line if success doesn’t come. I am sure this isn’t the case for Williams. Yet, he takes care of the injured players and acknowledges that it’s important to keep Cedwyn Scott’s injury quiet for now, which is a very respectful sign of that. His coaching and management style is impressive; he is the best manager Notts has truly had in decades.

All I am going to say, is prepare for a meltdown if Tamworth end up getting the better of Notts.

I think at this point people just need to look out for their families and respect the guidelines, the death rate is enough to make most take this pandemic seriously.

The Flying Dutchman who always wore his pilot jacket at the dugout of games. Good read this.

I'm away, so it will be the first game I've missed also season at Meadow Lane. Notts have to start bright and positive early on, they perform better with this approach and the confidence just picks up.

If Notts were to lose, some fans just need to sup it in and avoid spitting out their dummies. There's a long way to go yet.

Smaller crowd than expected, steady performance but nothing special. Great win.

Get the ball on the deck, avoid hoofing it and Notts will do just fine. I don't expect another win, it would be good but Bromley are flying high at the moment and a point seems less greedy.

Does anyone actually care? There is more to worry about than BREXIT. I would suggest starting with knife crime.

I think early goals count for little unless you smoothly control a game, for Notts it will all be about creating chances and holding the ball in the midfield. It will be good to see Jim O'Brien bossing it, hopefully a fit Mitch Rose will start t

Kewell looks out of his depth with Notts. Hardy is in meltdown mode on Twitter and Notts looked destined to be in a relegation better this season.
