League 2 fixtures 22/02/25 12:30 kick offs. Crewe 3-1 Barrow Morecambe 0-2 Walsall 3pm Kick offs.

The match against Tranmere won't be easy. They are fighting for their lives to avoid relegation to the National League, being in the bottom three of league 2. They will employ the usual away team tactics at Meadow Lane of getting ten players behind the ball and just rely on hitting Notts on the break & hoping the Notts defenders will make mistakes. Notts just need to be incisive up front & try to get behind the Tranmere defence. It will be vital for Notts to get some of their injured players back from injury. I'd like to see Austin & Whitaker back in the starting eleven. It will be important for the Notts fans to get behind the side. I think that Notts should get the win by the odd goal, but I'm sure it will be a tense encounter.

Pre Worcester remarks from the Manager, Adam Dunleavy.

Good evening. It's been a very windy day here, It's been milder but it's been raining on & off all day too @liampie Sorry you haven't been feeling well. We've both been under the weather this last few days. We've been taking a bit of a rest & I've been avoiding social media & the news.

WPL Division 1 Midlands. Sunday 23rd Feb 2025: 2pm Notts C Women v Worcester City

It just demonstrates that there is a big gulf between the top half of league 1 and league 2? A team that gets promoted to league 1 has to prepare & invest wisely in new players to strengthen the team to just consolidate, no matter challenge for promotion. It will be a big task for Notts if they do get promoted. Mansfield were an excellent side at league 2 level, but that stands for nothing in league 1.

The poll has now closed. Thank you for your vote I am pleased to announce that Kellan Gordon has been voted the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match for his outstanding performance against Colchester. Well done Kellan.

It was another overcast day here and cold. We have been promised warmer weather for a few days. Hope it arrives and gives us some respite.. Pleased with Notts getting the draw last night. A point gained is better than no points at all. Notts are handicapped by 7 injured players being out with 3 new players trying to get up to speed, That's 10 of the Notts players that are either out or are not yet performing as expected. We need to hope that things on the injury front get much better in the coming weeks.

More Bugs Bunny.

Four players stood out from the rest in.my opinion. George Abbott, Conor Grant, Kellan Gordon & Alex Bass. I agree with @CliftonMagpie that Notts missed Jacob Bedeau tonight as well as Didzy & Jodi. We need Jodi back for his creativity. I'm going to give my M of the M award to Alex Bass because I believe without him, we would have lost the match.

I'm satisfied that Notts came out with a point tonight. It is clear that Notts are missing Didzy & our best creative player, Jodi Jones. I think that we have to give credit to Colchester who are in a run of good form at the moment & probably deserved the draw. Notts also missed Jacob Bedeau. It's hard for a player like Zak Johnson to come in and forge a good partnership at the back straight from the get go. Pleased that Conor Grant scored an early goal for Notts & they did have chances to increase their lead & the result could easily have been a win for Notts. We've gained a point & we haven't lost any ground at the top being only two points behind 2nd spot. Onwards we go with another home match against Tranmere on Saturday.

Let's hear from the Boss
