Robbie

Welcome to our Pride of Nottingham Community @andrew lord It's great to have you on board.

I think unofficially, Didzy has the Vice Captains job, but it would be nice for the club to announce it officially. David certainly deserves the recognition.

@menzinho like I said his contract expires end of June 2026 so it's up to Notts to manage the situation the best they can. Junior can sit out his contract & if he's fit to play, he's ready to play either for Notts or out in loan. It seems to be a similar situation to Aidan Stone who wasn't given game time. it also seems Rob Cundy is going the same way.

I think it is only fair that three clubs should be promoted from the National League & three relegated from League 2. It's time that the EFL put an end to the protectionism that stops any more than two clubs being relegated from League 2 currently. The standard of the National League has risen year by year and the league can already be classed as a league 3 in all but name.

A big win tonight for Chesterfield over Doncaster. Winning 5-2. League 2 table after tonight's match.

@chris Just checked on Junior's contract & it is up to 30/06/26 so I don't think there could be a mutual release this early. Hopefully, Junior does well at Woking & they make an offer for him, or someone else comes in for him & Notts can maybe make a profit from his sale.

Notts Women visit Sutton Coldfield on Sunday 09/02/25 with a 2pm Kick off.

Woking do like to have our players don't they. It's probably the best solution for him. He was going further down the pecking order at Notts with the arrival of Mai. I do hope it works out for him and he can score a few goals for Woking.

An early kick off will make it awkward for Notts supporters.

@Chris When I retired I was a steady 12.5 stone. I used to walk probably 5 or 6 miles a day being a multi drop delivery driver. Since retiring I've tried to walk a few miles a day. That went down to 1 mile several weeks before new year then I took a rest from it. I tried to be relatively active in the meantime, but having a few health conditions it takes effort some days to get the exercise I need. I need to get below 13 stone again & get back to a healthy diet. So I need to lose 7 or 8 pounds.

The most famous phoenix club in England are arguably Leeds United. Leeds United's predecessor, Leeds City, was formed in 1904 & elected to League membership in 1905 & played in the 2nd Division. They achieved their highest position of 4th in the 2nd Div under Secretary Manager Herbert Chapman in season 1913/14. In 1919, Leeds City was forcibly disbanded from the 2nd Div by The Football League, in response to allegations of illegal payments to players during the First World War. At Salem Chapel in 1919, Leeds United were formed, & they received an invitation to enter the Midland League, being voted into it on 31 Oct 1919. Following Leeds City's disbanding, Yorkshire Amateurs bought Elland Road stadium, & then sold it to Leeds United for £250. On 31 May 1920, Leeds United were elected to the Football League. Leeds United are currently leading the Championship table (Source Wiki)

Thursday 6th Feb 2025. Kick off 7:450m Chesterfield 5-2 Doncaster

Looking forward to this match on Saturday. It will be an opportunity for Notts to continue with the excellent form they have shown over the last nine games. I'm sure Morecambe will make it as difficult as they can, but Notts have different options nowadays to create chances from open play or dead ball situations. Stuart Maynard has more selection headaches too which is a good thing. A strong first eleven coupled with a strong bench is a recipe for success.

I wish Mark Hughes luck with his latest appointment as Carlisle Head Coach.. If Mark can save them from relegation it would be a a big achievement. Carlisle are bottom of league 2 & 5 points from safety. His last appointment at Bradford was the first time that Mark had Managed outside the PL. He lasted about 20 months before being sacked with Bradford in 18th place. It was felt by the Bradford City players that Hughes was trying to shoehorn PL tactics into the League Two side, & this ultimately contributed to the lack of success in his second season. My take. I think it's a brave appointment by Carlisle, but I think they are taking a gamble appointing him. He has to work with another Manager's team & get them winning very quickly. It will be difficult.

Those sort of days are long gone. Now we can look forward with optimism to much better days ahead The Club has been rebuilt under the Reedtz brothers from top to bottom & we now have a team to be proud of.

Is this a good move by Carlisle United?

It's a lovely morning here. The Sun is strong & bright, but it is cold with a large amount of frost on the grass. Have just completed my two mile walk, being well wrapped up. Have been taking a bit of a rest from walking since the beginning of the new year but It's time to get back to it. I've put on several pounds so need to try to work that off & watch what I'm eating going forward.
