The 2nd match on Notts County's three match tour of Germany is against Bundesliga 2 side FC Kaiserslautern on Saturday 12th July at 12:30 BST at their Fritz Walter Stadium. This match will be another tough test for Notts, but Head Coach Martin Paterson welcomes these matches against higher league opposition. Martin believes that Kaiserslautern will be an even tougher test for Notts than Notts faced in their first match against Darmstadt & that match was tough especially in the first half. We could see Martin play what he believes is his strongest team as his starting eleven however, I believe he will continue to give the whole squad & trialists a run out at some point in the game.

Chelsea will face PSG in the Club World Cup Final on Sunday after PSG thrashed Real Madrid 4:0 in their semi final.

So the speculation about David McGoldrick's future has been answered tonight. Many of us thought that David would hang up his boots after refusing an offer of an extension to his contract at Notts. He has opted to join League one outfit Barnsley on a one year contract. Barnsley finished mid table last season, & with Didzy they will hope to push on & at least make the playoffs this time. It will be interesting to see how they use him & whether it will be by super sub or for 60 mins of a game. No matter how he is used, they have secured a quality player who I'm sure will score a few goals for them & provide quality upfront or behind a striker. I was sorry to see him leave Notts, but he has been a great servant for Notts & I do hope he has a brilliant season for Barnsley.

Good luck to Didzy at his new club.Signs a one year deal at Barnsley.https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2025/july/09/david-mcgoldrick-signs-for-the-reds/

Grant finishes a great Notts move with passing & movement from one end of the pitch to the other.

No shame in losing to a team of Darmstadt's quality. Notts played much better in the second half & deserved their goal. Well taken goal by Grant after good build up play.

GOOOOOAAAAAL GRANT.

What a great story of dedication to your favourite club. I'm saddened to learn that her cancer has returned, but it is so heartening that she has lots of support. I do hope that her fresh treatment is effective & it will reduce her discomfort.

Here's your Notts starting eleven.
