    Issue we’re going to have is the length of time it will take these players to get back up to full match fitness and also the heavy workload that those left have had to endure as they are also now picking up injuries. I hope we can stay in touch as January’s fixtures look very favourable but our form of 10 points from the last 9 games suggests we’re going to slip away again. The next 3 are massive games now, we simply must get 7 points as we then have to go to MK who are now flying after a horrible start.

    Current form table, not a great read. Thing to note is that Saturday’s opponents are currently doing better than I realised.

    You have very wise parents @Blake

    They haven’t turned it down as such, they are a little stretched media team wise, but will monitor the situation. Basically, they’re waiting for it to become more popular before making the leap.

    Definitely need another wing back, to play oppositie JJ when he’s back, but Notts will be naive not to recruit another striker/attacking midfielder option. Two players in January is all we need now, been a long time since we could say that.

    It’s not bad at the moment, I’ve only had one raging lefty appear on my timeline so far and she was doing my head in, but since I blocked Carol Vorderman it’s been a lot better! Notts chat has been very civil so far.

    One thing’s for sure, no matter what party you vote for, they all show that they are just as bad as each other. Cluelessly led with clueless policies. The only people a politician tries to satisfy is themselves and their egos.

    Agree with most that have voted. Abbott was on a different level today, the lad is getting better and better and has become a shoo-in for selection.

    Woke at 4AM (I’m at that age) to find around 4 inch of snow had settled, since then it has stopped snowing and has already thawed a little. Dogs won’t be happy as it will make their favourite walk impassable.

    Working all week, really need to retire!

    Always prefer the sloe gin flavoured ones nowadays, although last year I bought some from Fortnums, and although they were nice flavoured and a deep filled pie, I was a little disappointed as expected more. Will try the M&S ones this year for Christmas, although I have already had some of the Tesco’s Finest ones and they were quite nice.

    Made his debut today and started. Some of their fans reckon he was MOTM (voted sponsors MOTM) and was all over the pitch in the 2nd half after taking half an hour or so to settle in. Kiddy fans are already talking about trying to keep him until the end of the season, so it looks like we may finally have a real player coming through the ranks.
  13. Fozzy
    When the cards are stacked against you, it’s always going to be an uphill struggle. Penalty was a joke decision whilst their first goal just proved the lack of pace in our side. Missing Jones, Crowley, Didzy and Jatta from the starting XI is just too much for any side to cope with, all four would probably walk into most teams in this division. It’s all about picking up as many points as possible at the moment and hopefully stay in contention until we get everyone back.
  14. Fozzy
    Very happy with this move, Kiddy are currently in second so if he can get regular game time with them, then he is not that far away from our 1st XI. Hoping he really kicks on from here, it seems a long time since we had a young player come through the ranks and make an impact.

    Which bright spark thought it would be a good idea to have the Gills game brought forward to 12:30?!? What time will fans need to leave Nottingham in order to make it in time, especially those on the supporters coaches. I’m not against 12:30 kickoffs, but at least think of the fans when scheduling and ensure they have no more than a couple of hours of travel time.

    I don’t watch MOTD that often nowadays, but I’ve always thought of Lineker to be a poor presenter, just too wooden for my liking and especially when you compare him to his predecessor Des Lynam who was great at his job of presenting and letting the pundits do theirs. I personally hope they go back to that method of having professional presenters, but they probably won’t.
  17. Fozzy
    Those comments are a bit harsh from Stal as our side was really young apart from a sprinkling of senior players. Really happy for Cerwyn to come back and get his first goal of the season, hopefully this will be the kick start he needs to get himself back on track. Ironic that after last years debacle in the competition, we put up a decent showing this season but it’s still not enough to get through. Swings and roundabouts but could have done with getting through and having a couple more competitive games for our squad players.

    Disappointing that this has surfaced, obviously somebody thought it would be funny to release it and just goes to show that if anything is being pointed at you, be very careful with what you say! I always liked David, he’s a local lad who used to run the line for the Wheatsheaf in Southwell as young kid, whilst his uncle Mick was manager at the time. He’s a pretty good cricketer as well, but always wanted to be a ref from memory. Not sure how this can be resolved though as surely Liverpool would never tolerate him reffing another one of their games and it’s a real shame as most football fans will probably agree entirely with his thoughts.
  19. Fozzy
    Would think he will definitely want to play in it, I know I would. It will mean he misses the Crewe game, which isn’t ideal, especially with our current injury problems.
  20. Fozzy
    We can, but I think we are still 3 to 4 players short. Definitely need another winger/wing back, that is a given. Would like another striker with pace, and/or another attacking midfielder. Finally, I’d like to see another keeper brought in as backup to Bass. Goals have dried up a fair bit since JJ became injured, so really grateful that the defence is really starting to gel.
  21. Fozzy
    Independent and Financial Regulator to be appointed. Never allow a football club to be bought and the debt placed on the club (e.g. UTD). Fairer distribution of monies throughout the leagues and scale the money paid to the Premier League so that the clubs finishing lower down the league receive a larger slice of the revenue to help close the gap. Set a wage cap. Reinstate all cup replays, but allow Premier league clubs to carry a larger named squad that they could then afford if a wage cap was in place. Dock league points for fielding weakened sides in the cups. Remove all U21 sides from the BSM trophy.

    Ye gods, anything but that!

    Take a point all day long with 5 central midfielders out, one still not yet fully match sharp and another who hasn’t played much regularly. Issue now is getting these players fit as soon as possible, otherwise we’ll risk burnout from the ones playing more football than they should be. I think last night also proved that Bedeau and Platt have to play in any game against decent opposition as McDonald just didn’t look up to speed. Maybe he might get another chance at the weekend against his former club. I wonder if Macari was still struggling after getting cramp at the weekend as he did not have a great game.
  24. Fozzy
    We might do something a bit different tomorrow, as we could go to a back 4 and play Bedeau at left back, that would then get McDonald and Platt in playing in their correct positions, with Gordon at RB if Macari isn’t fit. Midfield three of Hinchy, Palmer and Abbott, then Austin, Crowley and Jatta as the loan striker. Pure guesswork but could be an option. Otherwise, we will definitely rest Didzy, and we may rest Palmer as he has played a lot of minutes recently. Austin will definitely play tomorrow, where though is anyone’s guess. Barrow have lost 4 out of 5, so can see this being another 1-0 game going either way.
  25. Fozzy
    I’m not averse to Didzy starting, but I honestly think he would be better against a tiring defence, not became he will be fitter, but I think he has that guile and quickness of thought to outsmart defenders whose concentration will be starting to waiver. I really think that this is the one area we really need to strengthen in January, if we persist with two attacking midfielders behind a lone striker. My personal preference would be for a 5212 formation, but we really need another pacey forward for this. Either way, we’ll need to dip into the transfer market to get us into the promotion shake up.
