Hello @Pete & welcome to our Pride of Nottingham Community.

Rhea Bailey is back for her 2nd year as a Magpie.

I think Jodi will become very important for Notts as the weeks go by. We know what Jodi can do on the wings & we know he has lots of talent. So it's no surprise that Martin Paterson has put Jodi in the very important position as an attacking midfielder in the number ten role. Jodi has accepted this new role with relish & backs himself to create chances for others as well as scoring goals himself. I believe that Jodi will succeed in his new role, but even if it doesn't work out for him, Martin knows that he will always be a big threat in the wide areas.

Summer Baxendale signs up for another year.

I agree that UEFA is making a big mistake & FIFA is just behind them when it comes to dealing with Russian teams. I can understand the argument that Football Clubs in Russia shouldn't be punished because of the actions of their Government, but to send their Clubs millions of Euros should not be happening. And as @Chris has said, we just don't know that the money will be spent appropriately.

A few of the differences I will be looking for this season is for the Notts team not to tire as the second half goes on.. Of course they may need to shut up shop on a few occasions as the circumstances demand, but the side did lack goals in the final quarter of most of the matches we played. I will also be looking for a proactive approach to substitutions. Last season we always saw around the 60 minute mark, several routine substitutions that used to effect the shape, & we also conceded goals just after those substitutions. I hope that Martin will quickly change things if a particular tactic isn't working, & if that has to include changes, so be it.

It would be interesting to know how many non season season ticket holder members there are who can't get to every match, but want to pay for a discounted ticket when they can attend. I do think that the amount of season tickets sold will get the attendance over 10K at least for every home match.

I have a digi box that is connected to a Digi Aerial. I can connect to ITV X on the internet. There are scores of films, drama series, sport, comedy & general entertainment. I watched a complete drama series "After the Flood". There is so much to see just on ITV X Television has been revolutionised over the last few years.

Over 6300 season tickets have been sold ahead of the home match against Salford.

Talking about unusual village names, there is a Village in Devon called Crapstone.

Mrs R broke one of her back teeth yesterday afternoon just eating a sandwich. Off to the Dentist this morning. We are fortunate to have a great Dentist. We go private, but if it's an emergency you can always get an appointment the next day & the service is first class. It's a lovely morning though here, Looks like we are going to have a beautiful warm weekend. Should be a lovely day for the match tomorrow.

That's Uefa for you. I wonder what FIFA attitude is? Here we go👇 Los Angeles TimesCommentary: As Russia continues to kill and maim in Ukrai...Why are FIFA and UEFA allowing Russian soccer teams to once again compete in international tournaments despite the ongoing war in Ukraine?

@True Magpie said: "Isn’t this what we wanted for Stuart Maynard last season? For him to have more support, instead of making stubborn choices and going into games with a “whatever happens, happens” attitude". It's too late for Stuart, but it does appear that the Club have learned lessons from what happened between January & May when Stuart was left on his own.

Listening to Gagliardi you can instantly realise why the Reedtz brothers chose him to be the Notts Director of Football. Is experience of working for Football Radar & his calm demeanor along with is quiet confidence should assure the Notts fan base that he is the man for this important position. I think that it is a good move by the club to communicate like this with the fan base. It helps the fans get to know Gagliardi & see what he is like as a person. He's certainly been very busy over the last few months, when you consider that he has been leading the work to recruit the eleven players as well as the eleven players that have left the club, some going on loan. I also think that he is the type of person that will be able to support Martin Paterson when he needs it. I think that the Technical Board will be part of that process too.

@TheSkipper Salford outplayed us in both matches last season. We just couldn't cope with their tactics. That's why this game on Saturday is so important to see exactly where Notts are compared to last season.

@theAnticlough said "My hope is that the technical board helps MP to act decisively and nip things in the bud early" You bring up some good points. Part of the problem with Managers & Head Coaches is that they have their favourites & are inclined to play them even when their form has dropped off, & some players don't even get a chance to perform because the coach doesn't rate them. I think one of the examples was Maynard & Matt Palmer. For me, he clearly wasn't the player he was after he returned after injury (although in the game against Newport, I thought he had his best game since his return from injury).The technical board might reduce that sort of thing happening.
