Jatta won't be leaving Notts, but I'm sure the offers will come in for him. January is noted for crazy offers for players.

Your Friday Evening Weather.

I've changed my mind about Josh Martin since a few weeks ago when I thought he'd be released in January. Josh has put in some good performances against Chelmsford & Walsall so I believe it's worth keeping him to the end of the season.

We are only three days into the January transfer window but the rumour mill has already started in earnest with speculation about possible bids for Notts players. Noticed Plymouth supporters speculating about a possible Jatta bid from their club.

Another cold and crisp morning here with plenty of sunshine, but unfortunately the sunshine isn't having much effect. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing all day once again. It's that time again to be thinking about taking down the Xmas decorations. We usually take them down before twelfth night on the sixth of January. Lots do take them down just after new year, however, I've known people to keep them up after twelfth night.

It goes without saying that Notts need to get back to winning ways quickly against Swindon on Saturday. I think it helps Notts that the match kicks off early on Saturday. If Notts can get a win it should see them shoot up the table once again. Swindon will be no push overs & expect them to employ similar tactics again Notts that other teams have done all season. They will try to press Notts hard, concede possession & try to hit Notts on the break, as well as hoping Notts make defensive mistakes, that Swindon can take advantage of. Notts just need to successfully counter these tactics like they did in the first half against Walsall. I would like to see Jodi Jones start this match along with Conor Grant with Didzy on the substitutes bench. I think Notts will get back to winning ways by a good margin. 3:0 or 3:1 would be an excellent result to get the fans buzzing once again.

Players out with injuries at this time. Curtis Edwards. Scott Robertson Lucas Ness. Lewis Macari Nick Tsaroulla

Your Weather for Friday Morning

Nice to see Rangers inflict Celtic's first defeat of the season with a 3:0 win at Ibrox.

Good Evening everyone. It's been a very cold day today. Took the wife to the Dentist this morning, Just got there in time due to so much frost on the car windows that had to be cleaned off. It was really thick and we had to wait from the heat of the engine to remove it. Incidentally, It's been no higher than -1C all day here. Snows forecast for Sunday. If it remains this cold we may get quite an accumulation of Snow. Hope that is not the case.

Wish him luck at Barrow but he just wasn't good enough for Notts once we got promoted to league 2.

Tonight's Results. Gillingham 0 Bromley 3 Newport 1 AFC Wimbledon 2. Up to date League 2 table.

I don't think we will see Adam back at Notts when his loan period runs out. I think Adam is much more comfortable as a non league player.

I understand that and it would be very tempting to move to a championship club. Some may disagree with me, but a League 2 Championship medal is good to have on a CV, but a Championship relegation is not, even though the Salary may be much bigger. A League 2 win could help him get a much better club in the Championship if he is prepared to wait till next season. Alternatively, he may decide to try to help Walsall to get promoted to the Championship next season if Walsall are promoted.

I have added Dan Crowley to the poll, if you wish to cast your vote for him

@True Magpie you make some good points about Cedwyn.. I hope that Cedwyn will stay and fight for a place in the side. I know it will be hard with Jatta & Didzy first in the queue.

Why would Mat Sadler leave Walsall to go to a club rock bottom of the Championship & odds on to get relegated? Walsall are favourites to win League 2. A Champions mark on his CV is too much to give up.

I think football agents are a scourge on the modern game. I just don't think they provide any useful purpose, but that's just my opinion.

I think the Notts defence played well again with Platt & Bedeau the standouts once again. Bass had a good game with Abbott & Palmer featuring as usual. Josh Martin had a good game once again as did David McGoldrick. For me it was a choice between David McGoldrick, Josh Martin & Matty Platt for Notts Man of the Match. I think that Alassana Jatta just shades it, with his overall performance, scoring another well taken goal, & him being unlucky not to get a brace of goals.

It was a dissapointing defeat against Walsall, however on the positive side there were some good performances for Notts despite the defeat. I have picked nine players for my shortlist for Man of the Match for Notts. They are:- Martin, Jatta, Platt, Bass, Bedeau, Abbott, Palmer, McGoldrick & Crowley.
