It appears to me that if Notts are looking to bring in another defender, it could result in one of our existing defenders being be sold on. Notts are very coy when it comes to releasing any information on interest from other clubs regarding their players. There may have already been interest shown for the Notts centre backs who all helped improve the Notts defence to a significant degree. Could it be that Notts are going to be in a period of consolidation this season regarding finance? Considerable amounts of money have been spent on the Nest, Ground infrastructure & training facilities. Somehow I'm beginning to think we won't see a big money signing being recruited. I hope I'm proved wrong.

It's going to start getting warmer again check out your Tuesday Weather 4cast.

I would love to see young players like James Sanderson given a chance to play in the first team. That goes for Riley Reynolds too. The Notts academy players already know & practise the Notts style of playing every week in training, under 18 & B team matches, so that's another good reason to give them an opportunity in the first team. If just one young player makes it through to being a first team regular each season it would be a great Philip for the academy & it would attract more of the young talent around the Country or even from abroad. I think that the EFL could encourage Clubs to put academy players on the substitutes bench for first team games, by increasing the players on the bench from 7 to 9, with a stipulation that two of the players are academy players. A young player can only break through into the first team if the Head Coach has the confidence & belief to give that player a chance. I do hope that Martin Paterson will have those traits.

Just an average weather day here. Plenty of cloud and just a few sunny intervals. It did rain here overnight so that was welcome for the garden. Had our food delivery today as usual & Mrs Robbie had planned to spring clean the Kitchen which we both completed working together. So it was quite a busy day. Watched a bit of Tennis from Wimbledon this evening. Looking forward to Brit Cameron Norrie playing his quarter final tomorrow. He playing Alcarez so it will be tough to win, but he's done well to get to this point.

The match has a 5:30 pm kick off tomorrow. Although I cannot be at the match I will be looking for the match updates online. I hope that the Notts App & the X account will have regular updates on the match. I agree that the match will be tough. I do think it is important that the Notts team is tested to the full so that we can see where they are. I'm sure that Martin will use just as many players like we saw at the Alfreton game. I hope that some of the players we didn't see at Alfreton will be given a run out if they are available. I would like to see where Martin will play Jatta, Traore & Dennis. Who will lead the line, & who will play just behind.

I do love that colour. Will be interesting to see what the design is. Looking forward to it's release.

Grant appeared 34 times for Notts including as substitute, he scored 4 goals & assisted 3 times, & his average rating on whoscored.com was 16th on a list of 31 players used by Notts last season,, but above Jarvis, Hinchy, Gordon & Austin, the latter being released at season's end. He did miss chances last season but so did everyone else. It depends how the new Head Coach rates him. If Notts do go for a similar type of player, then we will know that he'll have to fight for his place Edwards started well but wasn't the same after he came back from injury. Palmer hasn't been as influential since he returned from injury., Hinchy was never a regular under Maynard & Reynolds was loaned out. It wouldn't suprise me if Traore & Dennis weren't tried in the role just behind Jatta as Didzy was. We'll just have to see where these friendly matches takes us & which team out of the whole squad looks like it will be the starting 11 for the first league match.

Weather 4cast for Monday.
