That's the end of the day's play. Durham are 2 for O in reply to Notts 407 all out

Notts 407 all out. Hameed finishes on 206 not out.

Tea is being taken. Notts are 278 for 8 Habib is 113 not out.

It's been a lovely morning & early afternoon here. Not a cloud in the sky. Just a light breeze to keep one comfortable when sitting out in the garden. Did some errands for the wife, with some shopping at the local store & posting some letters. Washed the Car at the local car wash. Apparently it has been one of the sunniest springs that we've experienced for a while. We've had as many hours of Sun than the whole of spring & summer of 2024. Can we final get a summer to compete with the summer 1976?

@super_ram I've realised that solving this particular puzzle game isn't just about straight connections, & if it doesn't click it's hard to solve.

Lunch is served. Good morning session for Notts. Notts are 133 for 1.

Xmas 1965 I bought "We can work it out"/"Day Tripper" by the Beatles as one of my Xmas presents for my Mum. It was a double A side 45.

Notts squad to face Durham on Friday 16th May, 11am start.

Why did the pie go to the dentist? He needed a filling.

Your Friday Weather 4cast.

It was rather chilly today & a marked difference to the Weather from yesterday here. Was taken by surprise by the Didzy news today that his injury would rule him out of the playoffs. I remain optimistic that Notts can turn things around on Saturday. Jodi Jones believes they have a good chance, so I will keep believing. Watched the classic film "Logan's Run" with Michael York, Jenny Agutter, & Peter Ustinov, this evening.

As much as I would like to see Morias & Traoré given a chance, I think that Maynard will play safe and stick to the players that have been playing regularly around the first team. I think that Grant & Jarvis will play up front & Stuart could spring a surprise & put George Abbott in the number ten roll.

Well it's up to Grant, Jarvis, Traore or Morias now. My bet is on Grant, Jarvis, Abbott or Whittaker being the front three.. It could end up working in Notts favour.

David McGoldrick: Notts County lose striker for rest of League Two play-offs WWW.BBC.CO.UK David McGoldrick will miss what remains of Notts County's League Two play-off campaign... With the news that Didzy will miss the playoff due to injury & Jatta will be suspended, can Traore & Morias step in up front & get Notts to Wembley or will Stuart opt for a different approach?

I agree with what you said @Chris Macca had to try himself at a higher level, & he had a big pay rise too when he transferred to Millwall. It does demonstrate that the style of play between different clubs can affect how a player performs. A lot of football science goes into the recruitment of players & you can understand why. Buying & playing players is an expensive business. I'm sure that Millwall checked to see if Macca would integrate successfully nto their style of play, but unfortunately it didn't go the way they planned. Macca is a great finisher & he's good at getting into threatening positions, however he does need the right supply. Unfortunately he does have a long contract at Millwall so unless some club is prepared to pay close to the fee he cost Millwall, it does look as though a loan period for him would be the best option.

Your Weather 4cast for Thursday

It's been another pleasant day, although there has been more cloud than late. Watered the garden plants this morning. When are we going to get some decent rain? I didn't think I would be saying that in the middle of May after all the rain we have had these past few years. Watched an oldie this late afternoon. The Hound of the Baskervilles with Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce & a young Richard Greene from the Robin Hood series. Mrs Robbie bought some pop corn so it was nice to get a front row seat at the movies while munching away.

The moment of truth for Notts arrives at 12:30 on Saturday. Can Notts turn things around? My team to get Notts to Wembley. Bass, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Austin Palmer, Hinchy, Jarvis, Abbott, Grant, McGoldrick. Subs, Miller, McDonald, Edwards,Traoré, Whitaker, Jones, Morias. I would put Abbott in the number 10 jersey just behind McGoldrick.Jodi would be on the bench if needed. I would have both Traoré & Morias on the bench I have always thought that Abbott has the talent to play in an attacking midfield position. Hinchy would be ok next to Palmer in central midfield.
