There was one match in league 2 on Saturday. Result. Carlisle 1 Crewe 1. Crewe drop two points,so here's the up to date top half of league 2.

A r I liked your article about the game @Chris I agree that we should be proud of the players, & how they completed & stuck to their task. Those substitutions had an effect & disrupted our shape a little, but Stuart was looking forward to the big game on Tuesday which is much more important. I listened to the post match interview of Stuart & he said that Platt's injury could be a calf strain or just cramp. Let's hope it's just cramp. They'll know more tomorrow morning.

I agree with @Chris that we were superb today in defense. Just unlucky with a couple of their goals, otherwise cwe could easily have won this game. I thought Matty Platt had a blinder again, Bass was superb between the sticks. Bedeau was good too. I thought Jack Hinchy played his best game for us, Scott did ok, & I'm pleased he scored. I thought George Abbott was absolutely superb today. He's going to go a long way. I hope Spurs don't recall him in January. He was all over the pitch & ran himself to a standstill. So my man of the match is George Abbott. Can he win PON man of the match again?

It was a narrow defeat for Notts today against Peterborough in the FA Cup. Although they lost, there were still some big individual performances by the Notts players My short list for Man of the match are the following players:- Bedeau, Palmer, Hinchy, Tsaroulla,Scott, Abbott, Macari, Platt & Bass.

What a goal by Abbott near the end of the match. A touch of class..

Dissapointing defeat at the end but proud of the players for the way they kept going after conceding three quick goals in that 2nd half. A couple of mistakes cost us at the back too later on, but it was great to see us take a 1:2 lead at half time with goals from Scott & Platt. Listened to Stuart's post game presser, the four substitutions half way through the 2nd half were planned in view of the very important Tuesday match against Walsall. All the Notts goals were well taken, and Abbott's goal at the end was pure class. Platt's injury near the end is a worry too. A calf injury may see him out for several weeks just when Notts have a busy lead up to Xmas. Dissapointing to go out of the FA Cup but Notts can concentrate fully on the league now.

GOOOOOAAAAAL ABBOTT Full time. We are out of the FA Cup We finished with ten men too because Matty Platt hobbled off injured near the end of the game.

Update.

Update. Mistake by Bass. Update. Another goal for Peterborough.

Update.

Back to it.

Ahead at the break Mark Stallard: "Notts have scored two and they've created problems for Peterborough's defence" Adam Hassell: "A few boos from Peterborough fans, you can understand why they're frustrated"

GOOOOOAAAAAL PLATT

Goal to Peterborough GOOOOOAAAAAL SCOTT

Off we go.

Notts team has been selected.

Sam has been such a steady and reliable player for Notts. No matter where Stuart asks him to play, he always does a good job for Notts. Sam has been so valuable to Notts in this period where the team has sustained so many injuries. It is great that Notts have a very good utility player like Sam to call on. He will be valuable to Notts in the second half of the season too.

He's been appointed because he has a big name and is well known nationally, as well as being a brilliant footballer. But brilliant footballers don't always make brilliant managers. I think this appointment is a big mistake by Leicester City & it will come back to bite them.

Morning. It's overcast here but much milder today Looking forward to the big match this afternoon . Will be listening on the Radio this afternoon CMON U PIES!!

Your Saturday Afternoon Weather

Stuart needs to select a very strong side for today's match. Notts need to try to get a positive result today. The promise of a potential draw against one of the top six PL sides in England in the third round has to be a top priority today.

It's Matchday.

Saturday Morning Weather

Good afternoon. Not a bad day here but cold outside. We've been busy this morning getting out the two Xmas trees, which we always do a day after Thanksgiving. We used to dress them both today, but we will do it over a few days now. We bought a smaller tree for the living room this year as the old one went to the ceiling & was quite large. I stayed on at work for six months @Fan of Big Tone & was planning to do at least an extra year, however the long hours were getting too much, so I called it a day. I'd only been with the company just seven years but I was presented with a nice watch on my last day when I got back to the depot. Still miss work sometimes but not the early rises.
