The poll has now closed. I'm pleased to announce that Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match v Doncaster is George Abbott. Well done George.

Notts have been relatively consistent all season. After 23 games Notts had gained 37 points & stood in seventh place in League 2, & they had won 10 matches up to that point. From the next 23 games Notts have gained 35 points & finished in sixth place,& won a further 10 matches.

The Poll closes at 9pm tonight!!

Congratulations @super_ram you were consistently good all season👏

Last time I looked at the League table Notts finished in sixth place in League 2, despite the injuries to key players for much of the season. For Notts to finish in the playoffs is a big improvement from last season's effort & that should be applauded. If Notts can get to another Wembley final in front of a 50 K + crowd, it would be a great achievement & another great day out for the Notts fans. If we get promoted it would be a fantastic achievement, but if we do or we don't, I'm sure the owners, together with the management, will look to improve the squad for next season.

Your Sunday Weather 4cast

On my shortlist for Man of the Match today was Matty Platt, Lewis Macari (when he came on), George Abbott, & Alassana Jatta. In my opinion George Abbott was head and shoulders above any other Notts player, so he's my Man of the Match.

I agree @Fan of Big Tone about beating Wimbledon. Notts have avoided Chesterfield, in the semi's & Salford, Grimsby & Colchester didn't make it, & any one of them could have been tough. I'm heartened by the fact that Austin got some minutes today. I hope Maynard has been saving him because he could be big for Notts in the playoffs. I think he passed to Jatta for our only goal today. I would play him instead of Whittaker behind Didzy & Jatta. I'd also prefer Jarvis over Jones to start & have Jodi on the bench on Saturday.

Your Saturday Evening Weather

A dissapointing end to Notts regular season with a defeat to League 2 Champions Doncaster, who thoroughly deserved their victory today. Congratulations to them. Notts now go into the playoffs where they will play Wimbledon at ML in the first leg of the semi final next Saturday, 10th May, kick off 8pm. I have chosen the first 11 plus 1 player off the substitutes bench for you to choose your PON Man of the Match from. Those players are:- Bass, Bedeau, Platt, McDonald, Jones, Abbott, Palmer, Gordon, Whittaker, Grant, Jatta, Macari.

Three dangerous teams failed to make the playoffs on the last day. Salford, Grimsby Colchester.

It was always going to be a very small chance of getting automatic promotion today. Walsall & Bradford both won today. I think Notts were just saving themselves for the playoffs. Didzy didn't start the game & never came on later. The substitutes just seemed to be getting minutes on the pitch rather than coming on to actually change the game. Hopefully Notts will be able to field their strongest team when they play Wimbledon in the playoff semi final.

Bradford scored in the sixth minute of injury time to snatch automatic promotion from Walsall. In the playoffs Chesterfield v Walsall Notts v Wimbledon.

GOOOOOAAAAAL JATTA Update. It ends in defeat. Notts 1 Doncaster 2

Derby have confirmed their place in the Championship for next season. Luton are relegated by goal difference joining Plymouth and Cardiff in League 1 next season.

The Notts team to face Doncaster. Didzy is on the bench due to picking up an injury against Harrogate. Austin returns from I injury & is on the bench.

It's Matchday.
