Just another day at the Notts County office. Bring on Monday's draw, a nice home tie please 🙏 COYP 🤠

My top 5 are as follows:- Ollie Cooper. He has been outstanding for us this season so far, with 4 goals contribution. He is creative and has the ability to influence our attacking play. He is the number one for me so far. Lucas Ness. With his consistency at the back, he has become one of our most dependable performers, with contributions that reflect his position. Ishe Samuel Smith. A great performer who has brought athleticism and quality to the team. He also offers great defencive prowess. Rory Finneran. An exciting young talent who brings energy, composure and a willingness to get involved. Making him a very important player. Nick Tsaroulla. He has given us pace and energy offering a great attacking threat. Definitely making things happen going forward. These are my choices, but others such as Cal Roberts, Connor Grant and Scott Robertson are close also. One thing I'd say is that we need more consistency throughout the team. Having five good individual performers isn't enough if the overall defensive organisation and results aren't there.

Unfortunately, what will be, will be. All that is needed is to keep momentum by putting a strong side out against Altrincham on Saturday and repeat against Burton. Simples 🤠

Sorry to hear that you are feeling a little down @Fan of Big Tone a nice day out and a lovely lunch will bring the brightness back to your eyes. I reallyhope it does the trick 👍😊 I ended up with a trip to the doctors yesterday and he changed my inhaler for a stronger version, then added a nasal spray to stop mucus going into my throat, apparently eliminating irritation. Now I have to let Mrs P take blood ( she is a phlebotomist) so as to see if my heart is playing the game, something to look forward to on Friday morning 🫣

That's funny @Fan of Big Tone Mrs P and myself have been discussing this and started upping the anti this weekend, doubled up on tinned food, packet cereals and pasta. Plenty of Pot Noodles (my favourites) and of course the mandatory Marmite 😋 @StarkMallard I can sympathise with your good self as I have had this cough and chest infection for nearly 10 weeks now, and even the latest attempt to subdue things (steroid inhaler) has not touched it. Doctors or Hospital tomorrow. Get them gloves charged @nottsnutter don't let the cold nip them fingers 🥶 it's always good to get sugar inside, as it helps with energy and tooth decay 😂 stay safe on that road. 👍

Thank you @StarkMallard I promise that the throne will still be warm on your return, just looking after it for you. 🤠 👍

Another fantastic defencive masterclass to give us a well earned clean sheet once again. The gruesome threesome and Mr Belshaw worked their socks off to achieve this, with a little help from their friends. So my vote goes to Jacob Bedeau who sets Standards in defencive prowess most weeks and deserves the accolade this week for his outstanding performance. 👍⚽️

Today's match has to be the most prolific performance of the season. Every player gave their all from start to finish, we outplayed them, pressed them into many mistakes and played great football to boot. What an awesome piece of football wizardry. COYP ⚽️ Long may it last.

@Piethagoram I am so sorry to hear that you received, not only an unexpected message, but obviously with news you didn't want to be confronted with at the moment. I really hope things can be resolved with a positive outcome.

I totally agree @nottsnutter in our last 10 fixtures against Mansfield we have only won one, drawn two and the rest is history. So we need to put the past behind us and I think if we perform as we have done for the last two games, with strength, tenacity and fighting ability, we should come away with something. The hoodoo they have over us needs exorcising and i think this team are capable of doing just that. To top that, the date is right tooooooooooo 👻🎃

Lovely to see you all had quality time together with family @Chris time to relax and enjoy each others company, worth it's weight in gold. Sorry to hear about your illness, I can sympathise as I have had my chest infection for getting on 8 weeks now, with no sign of getting rid, even with tablets, medicines and now an inhaler. All under the watchful eyes of the hospital. 🫤 Nice (what looks like) Bruschetta @Fan of Big Tone looks really scrumptious 😋 great choice as well may it say, I think that would of been my choice.

Bolton Wanderers 2 v 1 Bristol City West Ham United 3 v 1 West Bromwich Albion 🃏 Wigan Athletic 1 v 0 Bromley Wycombe Wanderers 2 v 0 Burton Albion Fleetwood Town 2 v 0 Bristol Rovers Shrewsbury Town 2 v 2 Gillingham Barrow 1 v 0 Eastleigh Tamworth 1 v 2 Woking With a little help from my boys 🤠

Not if I get there first @Fan of Big Tone With the help of my two partners in crime, Marty and Scooby. 🤠

Has to be done @Fan of Big Tone especially as you are in the Kop. No excuse 🥳 I must admit that Mrs P and myself do exactly the same, once home from one adventure, where will the next one be. It has to be done to follow the code of practice 🤠

Good morning everyone, up and about since 4 this morning as I once again been woken by the headaches. Very windy here in the midshires, so much so that dustbins have blown over (bin day today) their contents spread far and wide. I wouldn't want the job of cleaning up later. So sorry to hear that illness has spoiled your holiday @StarkMallard I hope you get better soon. Safe journey home @nottsnutter I see that you are looking forward to doing the Widow Twankey bit on return 😀 it's always fun sorting things when you've been on your holidays 😀 You are not on countdown yet @Fan of Big Tone are you? Doing that makes it seem longer for me 🤣 my Mum used to say all good things come to those who wait, be patient my friend 🚢
