One aspect of our play was the amount of times in the second half there was no player on the edge of the Accrington D of penalty area. Alan Smith taught Noble to delay his runs,,,, we had no one ever close to this space today

Some words of credit for Grimsby. Thought Bogle was superb and again questions our scouting as to why Brano didnt recommend him ahead of Idle

@Northants Pie Agreed in some ways. Gibson should have be loaned to a Conference side...loaning him too lower down the pyramid isnt going to help his development.

@Northants Pie Yes Gibson for me too

just watched the game on Magpie player. Atkinson seemed to win the ball fairly...Pools #18 and #26 should have both received straight red cards

@Northants Pie Defensive protection foremost but utilising pace of Collins and Campbell to support Stead. There is no stand out partner up front for Stead IMHO

What also will be interesting will be the players who are not on the bench today

JS to play Collin Tootle Laing Duffy Dickinson O'Connor Milsom Collins Aborah Campbell Stead

Hope the 1k gate revenue covered those costs. Perhaps @erindoors can advise if the gate revenue is shared with Hartlepool ( what percentage?)

https://stuartfrew.wordpress.com/2007/09/04/an-afternoon-with-jimmy-sirrel/ Thinking of Pedro as his son makes his full Notts debut tonight

wishing Pedro's son a good game... a full debut, hopefully the start of many

Loach, Audel, Laing, Hollis, Dickinson (c), Rodman, Aborah, Burke, Richards, Campbell, Snijders subs Collin, Hewitt, Smith, Wildin, Edwards, Milsom, Atkinson False number 9 then

Prize money of 10k per win in the Group stages, we need a few of those to make up for the misspend on Idle

I believe it may be defined as 5 players who have played in last Saturday's first team match ( so being starting 11 plus any subs that played)

Each EFL Club must field a minimum of five first-team players in the starting 11. Rule for competition

Collin Wildin Smith Dickinson Audel Snijders Aborah Richards Burke Campbell Oliver A team like this might fit the bill, to avoid unnecessary fines and have a chance of winning...Prize money on offer maybe too good to avoid despite reservations over this competition

Tony Tompos ‏@TonyTomposPT 12h12 hours ago When a 14 year old comes on for 30 mins in a youth team game and you know how special he is "One great positive from today was introducing 14-year-old Jack Bearne into the team. Jack is a fantastic talent, which I've known since I arrived at this club nearly seven years age. Watching him develop has been a pleasure. "He came on for the last 30 minutes today and at times he lights it up. He's a real prospect and I'm sure fans will see him feature even more for us in the coming games this season." Notts line-up: Searson-Smithard, Cobain (Anstey 60'), Dunn, Brownhill (C), Richards, McCartney, Clayton-Naute, Howes, Campbell (Robinson 80'), Osborne, Gibbons (Bearne 60') Read more at http://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/notts-county-under-18s-chesterfield-under-18s-youth-alliance-cup-3274166.aspx#gYCkDzMDAY13zDdf.99

Nice behind the goal view....power of Stead's shot more visible from this angle than maybe from the television recordings

Quote As with any other business in the course of a potential sale, it is not unusual for creditor payments to be extended whilst discussions are ongoing with potential investors. Unquote ..not unusual?... Maybe usual practice for when one is suffering cash flow shortfalls, to stretch payment terms? How to tie a hand behind one's back before a new manager has even started? This quote is also worrying too.. Quote the need to find a genuine party with the right vision, skillset and resources remains their priority. Unquote So parties sign NDA's, presumably fulfilling the first 2 criteria in advance! So if a price is agreed, how come they fail to proceed? Very worried

Yates is a failure, full stop.

..how it wants to get there... Maybe our Head of Recruitment was the spanner in the works?

@notts-joe Top banana!
