Robbie

We have both stayed in today. It was just too hot outside. I've watered some of the plants this evening that were struggling. I've been watching a bit of Wimbledon today. It's been a fairly good day for the Brits in round one The temperature in our living room at this moment is 81.4 Deg F & that's the warmest we've known it at this time of night here. It's going to be very warm tonight🥵

I think that he could be a very good signing for Notts. We shouldn't be surprised that the Notts management has gone for a young goalkeeper who has lots of potential. Notts are becoming the go to club for young football players with lots of potential. The owners are very good at finding talent around the league & abroad, so I have high hopes for Harry & wish him well. He will have some good experienced people at Notts who will be able to give him lots of good advice & teaching in the goalkeeping art. Hopefully Harry will be able to progress to being the Notts number one goalie one day, but even if he doesn't, the Notts management will ensure that he is either loaned out or sold for a profit.

Your Tuesday Weather 4cast

End of the 2nd day's play. Notts 214 for 3

Thanks for your service to Notts Alex. We will miss you. Good luck at Peterborough. I trust that the Reedtz brothers will ensure that Notts get an able replacement. They might even get someone even better.

Tea has been taken. Notts are 124 for 2

@liampie Sam impressed the Reedtz brothers at the back end of last season when he assisted Maynard in his coaching duties. Sam has qualifications as a goalkeeping coach, & he is going for his UEFA A accreditation as a qualified coach. I'm not saying Notts should rely Sam as a goalkeeper because he has his coaching duties, but he is here & he's a competent experienced goalie. We have to trust the Owners judgement over Sam's appointment & their selling of Bass. I'm sure they have plans to replace Bass before the friendlies begin.

Don't forget, Notts still have super Sam Slocombe & he has already said in his interview that he's still available to play in goal if needed.

@Chris I'm sure that the owners along with their football management at Notts have a plan. I think we just have to trust them. They obviously thought that Bass could be sold for the right place & replaced maybe with a different kind of goalie. A goalie who can command his area and deal with crosses better.

Alex did a good job for Notts but he did make some mistakes at times. Maybe selling him will be a blessing in disguise. Notts can sign a keeper that commands his area and is good at crosses & Corners where Notts conceded a lot of goals. I've given Harry his own thread so that he can be given a good welcome. Alex has gone, Harry is here.

Notts County have signed goalkeeper Harry Griffiths, who joins Notts on a two-year contract after leaving Nottingham Forest Director of Football Roberto Gagliardi said: "It’s vital that we create sufficient competition and support within the goalkeeping department and, as well as signing Alex’s replacement, we’ll be looking to add a third player in this position before the end of the transfer window.” Welcome to Notts County Harry.

Lunch is taken.Notts are 15 for 0 in reply to Somerset total of 379 all out.

We know that if the price is right the Club will sell. This is not a surprise. I trust that the club will get a suitable replacement.

2nd days play between Somerset & Notts resumes at 11am.

The preseason fixtures are in for the Notts County B team..

Here's your Monday Weather 4cast

Good evening all. It's been cloudy all day with just a smidge of sunshine, but it's still been pretty hot here. At 9:30 it's still 28 Deg in our living room even with the ceiling & portable fans on. Put up our four home made flower baskets today. They've established themselves & started to flower. Hopefully in a few weeks they will look great. Gave all the new plants are water this evening. They are starting to look good. We only lost a couple of plants after delivery, so I look upon that as a success. The Mrs has been continuing with her spring clean in the Kitchen. We do a little bit at a time so we can do other things too like the garden work.
