Game 6 of the Notts 20/20 Blast season 

Rapids v Outlaws.

Outlaws win the toss and will bowl first.

I like Aaron too. He is an integral part of our attacking unit, and I am sure he will play a big part next season.

I do like Dan Crowley, He is a very important part of the Notts team. Many good attacking moves that Notts did last season was orchestrated by Dan.

Dan may not have had the number of assists that Jodi had, but he did much of the good groundwork that led to those assists & scored many vital goals himself.

Macca and Jodi, & to a lesser extent Didzy, rightly took the plaudits but Dan was the man that helped those players get the opportunity to do what they did last season.

I'm sure Dan will carry on in the same vein this season too, & with Robertson & with Matt Palmer back for selection, Dan may be able to impress even more.

Big weekend coming up with the start of the Euros, so will be watching the opening game tonight on the TV, Germany v Scotland.

Did the shopping this morning for the wife, then was planning to do some gardening, but too many showers, ah well.

Got a couple of DvDs from the charity shop while out shopping. I do like Bruce Willis. He's a good comedy Actor as well as being an all action one.

Great win for Jack Draper, now into the semi finals.

Great win for Fran Jones.

 I value the hard work of all the coaches, but if we’re discussing those who often go unnoticed, I’d highlight the youth teams and academy. They nurture our future stars, a role that can seem thankless when the club is hesitant to field them.

Exactly ????

I agree about Cloughie, & it was done his way or the highway.

I can remember when goalies kicked to centre field or beyond from goalkicks and punts to restart play.

There was also a time from the middle 90s that goalies were encouraged to move the ball out of the penalty area and kick it long, now it's short passing.

The way goalies are instructed to play nowadays with short passing encourages the opponents to employ a high line on us.

The merits of kicking long eliminates or drastically reduces the dangers of an opponent's high line.

How many times did Notts get dispossessed deep in their own half last season and conceded a goal?

I do love Notts style of play, but we have to mix the style, go long a lot more, it is much safer, and it is the goalie that can direct that style of play much more.

@Fan of Big Tone I agree that football has moved on for the better.

Goalkeeping coaches are an important part of the modern game now

Goalkeepers of yesteryear like Banks and Clemence would be pleased to see that the Goalkeeping role is seen as a pivotal part of a team now.

I wonder how those two players, plus goalkeepers like Shilton and Sprake would have adapted to the new thinking?
