Just for the record Grant has scored 2 goals & made 1 assist so far. He's the fourth joint highest goal scorer for Notts behind Jatta, Dennis & Hall. He has been a part of a squad that is clearly improving & getting positive results.

I think that it is a big opportunity for Notts to consolidate their position in the top three on Saturday against Harrogate. Notts have won their last three league matches against Harrogate so they will be keen to extend that record against them. Harrogate are a possession based side who like to build from the back, but I would expect them to be very defensive minded & employ a high press & wait for the Magpies to make a mistake defensively. It's a similar tactics that all opponents tend to resort to at Meadow Lane. I expect Paterson will pick his strongest side available, but he will be pleased that the replacements played so well last Monday against Cheltenham. Martin may even decide to pick the starting eleven that faced Cheltenham. I think that Notts will get the win. I'm looking at a 2:0 win with Jatta & Hall the goalscorers

Grant was part of the team that played so well against Cheltenham. Jatta, Hall & Dennis have scored the majority of the goals, this season, but I believe Grant is playing his part in the improvement we have seen over the last 10 matches.

My choice is Jon Stead who played for Notts from 2015 to 2019, he made 162 appearances for Notts & scored 42 goals. He then transferred to Harrogate & played for them from 2019 to 2021 making 46 appearances & scoring 8 goals.

It was a close vote for the Top spot between Nick & Scott. Scott has been putting in some great performances of late so I'm pleased that he won. It was richly deserved.

Notts are the form team in the League so both have an excellent chance of getting these coveted award's. Good luck to both of them.

The Poll has now closed. Thanks to all who voted. I'm pleased to announce that the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match against Cheltenham is Scott Robertson.

Notts are the form team of League 2. 7 wins & 1 draw from their last 10 matches. 4 wins in their last 5 is very impressive. The team is starting to play for each other. They are the third joint highest scorers in the league with 27 goals with the 2nd highest goal difference, 18 of those goals in the last 10 games. Things are beginning to click for Martin Paterson. We saw too sides of Notts against Cheltenham, a side that can play attractive incisive football like we saw in the first half, & a side that can work hard to keep their lead when they have to defend. We also witnessed a Notts team without three of their best players against Cheltenham, however the players that came in for them slotted into their roles so well & the team still gave a very strong performance despite those missing players. So it appears to me that the Notts squad is now beginning to gel together so well as a team. Football is a team game & if individuals begin to know how their fellow team members play, their positioning & their runs off the ball, team performance can invariably improve. So I think a lot of the improvement is down to this. Thoughts?

Poll closes 9pm. Please ensure you get your vote in.

Can't see the opening post.

Alan Sheehan's overall managerial record at Swansea City across all competitions was 17 wins, 10 draws, & 12 defeats from 39 matches, a win percentage of approximately 43.6%. He served in two spells as caretaker manager and then as the permanent head coach. (Source Google) Seems even a decent record doesn't save a Head Coach nowadays. I'm sure it won't be long before he's snapped up by another league club.
