Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Charlie_ncfc

I think that Abbott has actually improved as a player since he came to Notts. I agree with others that Abbott has adapted very well to the physicality of League 2, & I think Spurs would be impressed by that. His progress at Notts may have had something to do with Spurs agreeing to George staying till the end of the season.

As much as I would love to see a Langstaff return, I don't think it would ever happen. He's probably on three times the wages Notts would be prepared to pay him now. Also, I think Notts's style has changed a little to play to Jatta's strengths, where players like Didzy are playing off him.

I think it may depend on who we can bring in during the next several days. I suspect Notts would be looking for a tall, lanky & strong individual. As @menzinho writes, every player has his price, but after losing Crowley it would be a big blow to lose Jatta even if the price was right. Sometimes there is more value to keeping a player rather than selling them.

If Notts are to have a chance of automatic promotion, they have to keep Jatta.

Good luck to him. He's signed a six month deal with Newport.

Great News. Just the news we needed. He's such an exciting player & he is going to have a bright future at the top of the game. Him being here for the rest of the season will make a big difference to our promotion chances.

I'm from the old school. I think that recognising your best players then playing a settled side is a recipe for success. Clough, Paisley & Ferguson did it with great success & they were the best. Good players that play regularly together get to know their fellow players very well & as the team gels, performance improves. As far as I'm concerned I don't think Cedwyn was going to succeed at this level. He was never going to be the first choice striker. He was never going to displace Macca, Jatta & Didzy. Stuart tried him in a withdrawn role & sometimes on the wing but it just didn't suit him. I am astonished with the assertion that Stuart is out of his depth.You can count the games on a few fingers where Stuart's tactics didn't work or the opposing managers tactics were superior on the day. That will happen sometimes. Just look how he's turned the team around since the beginning of the season. He's helped choose replacements, he's moulded them into a team that is winning matches, just 3 points behind 2nd place. Notts record this season speaks for itself. Ten clean sheets already, 2nd highest scorers in the Division, sixth best defence, only two teams have less defeats than Notts. And this record has been achieved with up to eight of their best players out over the last 3 months. Let's give Stuart the praise he deserves.

Player Rotation I believe Stuart has done what he could to rotate his players to try to rest others & give players more game time. I think we have to recognise that the team has suffered with lots of injuries & Stuart has done well to maintain reasonable results with players that may not have figured in the starting 11, if the full squad had been available. Consistency in Selection I think Stuart has been consistent in his selections. I believe that he has selected his best 11 available the vast majority of the time. He has managed the injured player's return well too, not rushing them back, & his substitutions have generally been good. Adaptability in Substitutions As. I said previously, I think that Stuart has used his substitutions well & those substitutions have generally been successful in giving players rest time & giving fringe players game time. We also have to take into account that those available on the bench have been weakened by the many injuries Notts have had. Maximizing Player Potential I think this is an area where Stuart has maximised player potential to the full. Notts are fortunate to have players that can play in different positions. We've seen Langstaff playing on the wing at times, Jodi playing on both wings. We've seen Stuart introduce inverted Wingbacks & Abbott playing in different positions. I think Stuart believes in adaptability from his players. I don't think Cedwyn could adapt very well unfortunately. Handling Underperforming Players If players are underperforming, they general don't make the starting 11. I think when certain players have underperformed for various reasons. I am sure Stuart has supported & encouraged these players, but sometimes either the Notts system or methods doesn't suit them. In Game Decision Making I think generally, Stuart's in game decision making has been good. It did come undone somewhat against Salford, but I think you have to give the Salford manager credit too. I'm sure Stuart has learned from that game.One of the things he could improve on is changing styles to fit the situation. I think Notts should go more direct when a certain style of play isn't working. Learning from mistakes I think that is always a manager's remit to learn from their mistakes. A good manager always will. He certainly learned much from last season when Notts were leaking goals, he rectified that situation very well. Conclusion Continuous improvement is what a good manager will always looks for. A manager should also be able to adapt to different situations & of course strive to make the right decisions. A manager should be a good people person & strive to get the best out of his players. He should be a good motivator & be able to communicate at all levels of the Club. I think Notts have a manager in Stuart Maynard that can do all those things.

The fact is. Most people are lazy and will buy a Pizza already prepared from a supermarket or takeaway, that will be full of ingredients that are unhealthy for them. Yes. It is true that if you make a home made Pizza and choose your ingredients carefully then the Pizza can have less harmful ingredients. But the majority of people don't make their own unfortunately.

Why pizza can be bad for your heart Saturated fat Cheese and meat toppings like pepperoni, salami, and bacon are high in saturated fat, which can raise your cholesterol levels. Sodium Pizza can be high in sodium, which can increase your risk of heart disease. Calories Pizza can be high in calories, especially if it's deep-dish or stuffed crust. Sugar Some pizzas have added sugar in the crust, sauces, and toppings. Quoted from Google

@True Magpie I could not open the file. The record shows Howard left our club and did a good job at Sheffield United. Is overall record as a player and manager speaks for itself. The vast majority of football fans like myself will remember him in a positive way. Only a very tiny minority will feel differently.

The poll is now closed. Thanks to all of you who voted. I am pleased to announce that PON members have voted for David McGoldrick to be the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match for his outstanding performance against Accrington.

Processed Food. Heart attack on a plate😢

Good Morning. Chilly morning here with cloudy skies. Had our food delivery this morning. The food order seems to get less for your buck, & the packaging gets smaller & smaller. I was on a high too after Saturday's win. It was a good performance from all the guys & there is a lot of optimism in the air. With two home games on the bounce to come, hopefully we can get two positive results, & keep up the pressure on the top three.
