Good morning from the sunny midshires. @Robbie @Fan of Big Tone I'm sure the week shortens or seems to after a Tuesday night game. Where does time dissappear to anyway without a midweek game?? 🤔 Well they have started clearing the land and putting up the Harris fencing, apparently ready for thr groundworks team to start tomorrow, Friday. Can't wait to enjoy the thrill of listening to big machinery, lorries taking crap away and delivering building materials to site. 🥴👎 On a happier note, the sun is out and all around is drying out once again. That reminds me, I must cut the lawn 🤠 have a good prosperous day everyone.

Who's your Man of the Match v Doncaster?
For me there were two outstanding performances last night. James Belshaw made two really important interventions, particularly the fingertip save from Alfie May and then the excellent clawed save to keep May’s header out. Without those, County could easily have come away with nothing. Ollie Cooper did it for me though, his tenacity and skill with a never say die attitude, on top of a great finish, earning a well deserved point, what more could a Notts fan want 😃 Ness also had a solid performance 👏

Match Discussion: League One - ️ Doncaster Rovers (A)
If Martin chooses the same 11 that started the 2nd half on Saturday, I'm sure positive things will happen. I’m quite optimistic about this one. Doncaster haven’t won in the league yet — two draws and a defeat — whereas Notts have started unbeaten with five points from three. Notts also come into it after the 2–1 win over Burton. The interesting thing is that Doncaster are favourites, mainly because they’re at home, but I’m not convinced by that. Their home form has been pretty cautious, and they’ve struggled to score consistently. For us, I think the key is not getting dragged into an open game and physical battle. If they can stay compact and then use Smyth's pace and movement, I think Doncaster could have problems. COYP.

Up this morning to very loud noises of machines preparing the ground at the side of us for building new houses, 133 of them to be precise. After trying to fight the proposed planning permission and failing, we are besides ourselves with the worry of noise, dust, over parking and non stop removal of debris and delivery of materials. Such is life i suppose, and yes I know we are supposed to embrace and welcome change 😝 @Chris once again nice to hear that family plays a big part of your everyday life and thinking. Nice one my friend. I have never bothered with social media @liampie as you say too much of everyone wanting to influence and unsettle your life to live in line with theirs. WhatsApp and texting serves me fine, without all the dramas. 😇 Have a great day everyone. 🤠

New Loan Signing: Daniel Kanu to Notts.
Daniel Kanu. Why I think he could be valuable to Notts He is a natural goalscorer. That's probably the biggest attraction. Notts needed somebody who can turn chances into goals rather than simply contribute to the build-up. He gives us pace in behind. Richard Montague specifically highlighted his ability to run beyond defenders, using his pace and power. He should suit Paterson's pressing game. He's described as hard-working and effective out of possession, which is important in the way Notts want to play. He offers something different to Luka Smyth. I think this is particularly interesting. Smyth can give Notts a physical focal point, while Kanu can stretch a defence and attack the space behind it. He's only 21. So there is genuine potential for him to develop considerably during the season. And there's an interesting bit of context: Notts apparently had competition from other League One clubs to get him, so this isn't simply a case of Charlton looking for somewhere to park a young player. The obvious question is whether 15 League Two goals translates into goals in League One. That's the gamble. But I actually like this signing for Notts. We have been saying for a while that we needed a proper striker who can occupy centre-backs, run behind them and finish chances. Kanu appears to tick those boxes. If he can get 12–15 League One goals, I'd regard the loan as a major success. If he gets 15+, Notts may have uncovered a player whose value could become very significant. And knowing the preference for Smyth, I could see Smyth and Kanu complementing each other rather nicely rather than competing for exactly the same role. My early verdict: Potentially one of the most important pieces of Notts' recruitment this summer.

You been on the pop after Saturday's win @Fan of Big Tone it's sure is bank holiday Monday my friend, try again tomorrow and I hope you get sorted. Apparently @Robbie we are due our 6th mini heatwave very soon, so get yourself ready and you could be a lucky boy also @Fan of Big Tone short break sunshine 🌞 Managed to drive to Skegness and back yesterday and it was really worth it, the show was fantastic 👌 Arrived home at midnight, but the journey was well worth it. Just raised my carcass at about 13:30 and all is well. Great Night.

Good day one and all, and off course @Fan of Big Tone hope you enjoyed the Welsh cakes with MrsT? Been and sorted the horses, then a quick brekky in Macdonalds, can't beat their Cappuccino plus a sausage and egg Mcmuffin. Then off to pick up horse feed for the boys, deliver back to the stables, then home to clean up before a shave, shower and applied foo foo, so one smells nice, finally setting off to Skegness for a night of Northern Soul, and to cap it all off a drive home once the show has finished. 🕺💃 🥳😵💫

Who's your Man of the Match v Burton Albion?
I thought Finneran had a good game, he looks the business and a good asset for the season. Nick Tsaroulla had another good performance when used, I don't think we use our right flank enough and cannot understand why our bias is towards the left? My man of the match goes to Mustapha, both through the first half struggle we had, he battled and fought for every ball, using his size, strength and speed to win balls that he shouldn't have. Second half pairing up with Smyth to form a cracking partnership helping keep pressure on their defence for long periods of time. A great contribution from an improving player.

Around 125 firefighters are battling a huge blaze on an industrial estate in north London. The fire at a mixed waste facility in Neasden is close to Wembley Stadium and sent a huge plume of smoke billowing across the sky. The fire has caused the closure of the entire Metropolitan line on the Tube and the part suspension of the Jubilee line. Rail services to and from London Marylebone station are also being delayed or cancelled due to train lines to Aylesbury being blocked. My thoughts and prayers go out to the 125 + Firefighters tackling this nightmare of a blaze. They run in when everyone else is running out from danger, may God bless them all. ❤️ This is very close to Wembley Stadium, I hope nothing is on there this evening.
