No Freddie the Ferret again as he is still boating in this beautiful weather. Charlton Athletic 1 v 2 Norwich City QPR 1 v 1 Portsmouth Stevenage 2 v 1 Reading Wigan Athletic 3 v 0 Exeter City Accrington Stanley 2 v 2 Chesterfield Shrewsbury Town1 v 0 Crewe Alexandra Altrincham 0 v 0 Southend United Yeovil Town 3 v 1 Morecambe With or without Freddie we do the business. 😁

@Fan of Big Tone i hope you have a great time up on the East Coast. Love going up there myself, especially Whitby. Always feels like home to me. Fuel prices have jumped as you say @Robbie closely followed by food, gas and domestic oil. Where are these emergency billions of barrels that are supposed to be easing these rises?? The sun is now peeping from behind the clouds, looks like the day will be ending with a nice flurry of sunshine 🌞

The whole team, including substitutes deserve a patt on the back for their endeavours last night. A great team performance with goals a plenty. We seemed to grow with confidence minute by minute and the movement and passing was sublime. All in all a great reaction following Saturday's debacle. That could of been the wake up call we needed to push towards a good run, finishing the season in style. COYP.

No Freddie again I'm afraid, boating comes first in the week. ☹️ Watford 2 v 1 Wrexham Luton Town 1 v 0 Exeter City Plymouth Argyle 3 v 1 Stevenage Bristol Rovers 1 v 2 Shrewsbury Town Tranmere Rovers 2 v 0 Harrogate Town Walsall 1 v 2 Cambridge United Southend United 2 v 1 Rochdale Woking 0 v 1 Yeovil Town Midweek football is in the week ahead.

And a jolly good morning to you all also. We have just had our annual service and MOT @Fan of Big Tone and pothole County cost us two new tyres, I hope your vehicle isn't so expensive. A beautiful morning here in the midshires with a bit of a chill to keep you on your toes. On top of the vehicle thing, I have been informed that the horses feet need a trim and the Farrier is due this morning at 08:30 so more expense. I don't think that i can afford to retire. I hope everyone has a great day 😀

@Fan of Big Tone you are 100% correct, petulance, not for the first time I'm afraid from this player has cost us dearly. The 10 left on the pitch and further substitutes did us proud. I thought Belshaw could easily have punched or even caught their 3rd, but bottled it. The positive is the return of Matty Palmer and Alasana Jatta so let's look forward to Accrington Stanley on Tuesday evening. COYP

I agree with all the above, putting out the strongest team is paramount as Chesterfield will be no pushover. The return of Jatta, Palmer and Robertson would be a phenomenal bonus, starting or not. We need to start as we mean to go on, hard but fair giving nothing away. A couple of early goals and settle down to 98 mins of graft. That's it in a nutshell COYP.

@Fan of Big Tone Try catching the Medibus as that goes to both City and Queens, and i think it drops off as close to if not at the door you would need. Parking is a nightmare at both Hospitals and rightly so, give yourself plenty of time. @Chris hope the tummy trouble has baited and you feel better. Gee up your dad because sometimes that's what us dad's need. Hope your daughter has a lovely birthday next week, grandadnapping what a great idea, will have to hint to my grandchildren when it gets close to May. Sat Wife sitting at the moment as she has had an attack of Vertigo once again and is unable to work. Looking for a decent ENT Consultant to have a good look at her, with a good end results hopefully. Will have to go now, horses and dogs to feed, not forgetting Mrs P and myself. Have a good rest of a blustery damp day one and all.

Freddie using the Melon to predict this week, the stripes have it, the stripes have it. This lad is on fire 🔥 Norwich City 3 v 0 Preston North End Stoke City 1 v 2 Watford Doncaster Rovers 1 v 1 Blackpool Northampton Town 2 v 2 Burton Albion Crewe Alexandra 1 v 2 Walsall Shrewsbury Town 0 v 1 Cheltenham Town Boston United 2 v 1 Yeovil Town Southend United 1v 2 Forest Green Rovers Please accept the predictions of Freddie the remarkable Ferret, and me of course.

Nice one @Fan of Big Tone that's good to hear, I hope you and Mrs T manage the challenge. Walking is something that I enjoy especially with Mrs P and the dogs, when we get chance. Back to work today after another bout of stomach upset, good diet though as I lost 24 pounds (not money) in 9 days. Have a great day whatever you are up to.

I have to agree with @Robbie and @Piethagoram two absolute beautiful class moments that wouldn't be out of place in any top flight game anywhere in the world, to be honest. A game that lacked spark and endeavour from both sides needed that uplift of something special, and boy did we get it. I thought Platt was once again at his best, with interceptions and skillful positioning, keeping the Walsall forwards at bay. He would of received my vote if it wasn't for the class of Norburn. ⚽️🎉🥇

Yes @Fan of Big Tone the old English sayings are definitely ones to listen to. There was a reason behind each and every one. "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" March often begins with rough winter weather and ends more gently. There is some truth here. In Britain the jet stream often still drives strong storms in early March, while by late March spring air masses start to dominate, bringing calmer conditions. Thought you might like this one to go with your contribution 😀

What a beautiful view @Fan of Big Tone makes you want to walk through the fields, taking in the lovely weather and wildlife. Not so good this morning, damp and dreary in the midshires and the temperature is significantly lower than yesterday, still not to worry as it apparently changes again for the weekend 😀 Have a good day everyone 👍

I have to agree with @theAnticlough the sight of Jatta on the teamsheet and possibly Palmer would be such an uplifting sight and a fright to the opposition. The icing on the cake for me would be Norburn being available, either to start or on the bench. He has played a significant part in everything football until injury sidelined him. Yes @Robbie the trio mentioned above have had a massive influence for us and we have stuttered without their presence. Keep things tight at the back, fluid through the middle, good use of our flanks and producing first class finishing will do the job on Saturday. Another contender for me would be Macdonald, as he was playing sublime football and looked our best defender before he was injured. All in all plenty to look forward to, and some great performances to be had. COYP

Come on Freddie, time to do your thing. Charlton Athletic 0 v 1 Birmingham City Swansea City 2 v 1 Stoke City Blackpool 2 v 1 Wigan Athletic Luton Town 1 v 1 Reading Gillingham 2 v 0 Fleetwood Town Tranmere Rovers 3 v 1 Oldham Athletic Hartlepool United 2 v 1 Halifax Town Woking 1 v 1 Tamworth These results are predicted and verified by Freddie the Ferret, Long live Freddie.

What you do on here for everyone is really much appreciated @Chris and it is so good to see you back and doing your thing. Thank you 😊

Looks like me and you better get our boots back out @Fan of Big Tone and give to the cause. 🤣⚽️

@Chris it's only your body trying to protect and heal, always do what it needs and you will be fine. On the other hand it could just be old age and poverty. 🗣👨‍🦯 😉 Nice looking food @Piethagoram hope you enjoyed it? Easy mistake to make @Fan of Big Tone especially if rushing to cut up the old one so you don't make the wrong choice. We're glasses used for this venture or just trusting to luck? I have a sequence that I use to avoid a mixup. New card left in envelope until identified old card is chopped up, once done the envelope is opened and New Card revealed, registered and signed, simples. Hope this helps for the future. 💳 👍 Have a lovely Tuesday one and all.

You get officials like yesterday and players that dramatically throw themselves down making a squealing noise that con said officials, we don't stand a cat in hells chance. Perhaps one of our training sessions should be conducted at theatre school. 🎭

Happy Birthday @super_ram have yourself a fantastic day. May your wishes come true, with wins for two. COYP COYR 🥳⚽

Match day morning and still more rain, mind you the sun will shine me thinks after a good result today. Busy day today as Mrs P is taking our Isabella to the Theatre Royal to see Bluey. So I assume the position of Chauffeur extraordinaire, delivering my passengers to Hucknall tram stop for 12:00 where they will board the tram, alighting at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham. I will then proceed to park up at London Road Fire Station and make my way to the Nest, participating of food and beverage whilst watching the early kick off on the big screen. Once Bluey has finished Mrs P and Isabella will jump on the tram alighting at the train station then making their way to Meadow Lane to meet up with said Chauffeur 😀 happy days. Have a great weekend on and all. ⚽️

If the boys have fun and enjoy the task in front of them as they did against Tranmere we will win, if they get nervous and tight things could turn into a nightmare. My feelings are we have set several precedences over the previous few weeks which to me give us the advantage for a comfortable win, not without hard work though. COYP.

Dreary damp day today, that fine rain that really wets you rather quickly. Unfortunately morbidity is part of life @Fan of Big Tone and i find good memories made with said person gives a sense of happiness and satisfaction. My other half has been having a go of late because whilst being ill over these last few weeks I have allowed my hair plus beard to grow out of all proportion for me and she says that I look like a Yeti/Goat. So today I decided to get it cut and trimmed, guess what she never even noticed. 😧🐐

Freddie is ready and raring to go ⚽ Oxford United 1 v 2 West Bromwich Albion QPR 0 v 2 Sheffield United Mansfield Town 2 v 1 AFC Wimbledon Stevenage 0 v 2 Stockport County Barnet 1 v 2 Chesterfield Colchester United 0 v 2 Salford City Brackley Town 1 v 1 Altrincham Truro City 1 v 2 Braintree Town All done and dusted for another week thanks to Freddie the foretelling ferret. 🤠

@Chris it's great to see you back in full flow and good to hear that for now your pain has subsided. Keep up the belief and stay positive my friend. @Fan of Big Tone unfortunately that's life, we try to accept decisions that counteract our desires, but sometimes it hurts and leaves that empty space needing to be filled. A good friend and colleague of mine decided that when he passed he didn't want a funeral and paid for a cremation only, leaving family, friends and work colleagues without that focul point to say goodbye and lay him to rest so to speak. Sometimes these decisions are hard to accept, but we must respect the final decision, and in our own way say our goodbye our way.
