@theAnticlough Gillingham did the simple things right & their defence was solid. Dennis & Jatta couldn't get through them, but I do think they lacked the service today. Notts are clearly in transition with the direct approach being more prominent than we've seen over the last several years. It could have paid off today if Notts had not made that defensive mistake.

I can't criticise the way that Martin Paterson set up the side. It was clear from my perspective that he was looking for a draw today, & at half time things were seemingly going to plan. It was an unlike Notts performance that was very scrappy but it made the League leaders look scrappy too. Unfortunately, the Gillingham goal came from another Notts mistake that led to a cross which was headed in. The type of goal that Notts seem to concede too much. Without that lack of concentration Notts could have got a point out of this match so I'm not going to say that Martin got his tactics wrong. I am worried about the injuries to Dennis & Gordon though. I hope that they are not too serious & they will be back very soon. I'm still going to be optimistic that the Notts side can improve as the weeks go by. They just need to cut out their mistakes which are going to prove costly. Up to date League 2 Table after today's matches.

Notts have been beaten narrowly by Gillingham today at Priestfield. It was a scrappy match that was decided by a single goal one minute into the 2nd half. Worry for Notts was leading scorer Dennis going off injured & also Gordon getting injured & being replaced. So who was your PON Man of the Match for Notts? I have included the starting 11 plus 2 substitutions who came on in the 2nd half. Please pick your Man of the Match from the following players. Roos, McDonald, Aljofree, Bedeau, Gordon Palmer, Norburn, Tsaroula, Iorpenda, Dennis, Jatta, Robertson, Jones.

Rumours start flying around when there isn't sufficient communication between Club and supporters. The Club have been a little wanting with communication especially since Jason Turner sadly passed on. There are lots of ways where this communication can be improved by using social media, the MS Media & simple press releases, & via the Club's website when it's appropriate.

Matt Dennis has been one of the success stories of the transfer window. He's started the season so we'll and he has slotted into the Notts system with ease. it also appears.thst he is going to have a very successful partnership with his striking partner Alassana Jatta which is very encouraging. I was also impressed with his interview and it looks like he is going to be a team man rather than an individualist on the field of play. His award for his performance this month is not just about him but also reflects on the performance of his teammates. Head Coach Martin Paterson was keen to point this out in his interview today. Hopefully, this won't be the only award that Matt will get this season.

Let's hear from Head Coach Martin Paterson about his thoughts before the Gillingham match on Saturday.

Hear from the man of the moment.
