Your Sunday Afternoon Weather

Good Morning. A dreary overcast morning once again here. Bit chilly this morning too Now the clocks have gone back we will experience the twilight effect days like this until the beginning of March next year when things will hopefully brighten up. Did you know that the town of Bawtry was in Nottinghamshire before it was placed just inside Yorkshire before the Norman conquest? Bawtry was originally a Roman settlement on Ermine Street, located between Doncaster & Lincoln. A small settlement developed around a wharf, & evidence suggests that St Nicholas' Church was first erected during this period. Around 1200, a new town was developed next to the old village.Bawtry grew as a river port & commercial center, exporting wool & other items overseas by the mid-14th century. Bawtry town center has been designated a Conservation Area to protect its historic and architectural features.

It's Matchday. CMON U PIES!!!

Another home tie would do against a non league side who would bring plenty of their fans to Meadow Lane

It was a good result for Notts against a plucky Alfreton who's tactics worked in the first half very well. Stuart changed the Notts shape in the 2nd half & Notts took control of the game. Jatta is proving to be a fantastic signing for Notts, & he has clearly shown that he is a class player at this level. I think that the Notts defensive unit did well once again, & I'm particularly pleased with how Martin & particularly Brown are both improving in every game they play. Those two are going to be important to Notts especially while the injury list is so long. Hopefully, some of those injured players will have recovered for the match against Doncaster.

A good win for the Under 18s today.

Notts take on Sporting Khalsa at Coronation Park Eastwood on Sunday 3rd Nov at 14:00. It's the first time that Notts have reached the first round in their present form, so it's a great achievement. Sporting got promoted last season, so this will be a tough game for the Women against a team one step higher in the women's football pyramid. Sporting played Forest in a league match the other week & got hammered, so hopefully Notts will have a chance if they play to their absolute best on Sunday.

@menzinhoJust clearly demonstrates that Stuart Maynard's concerns are truely justified, when he calls for more protection for his players.

A the end of the day the goal was given. I think whether it was given or not doesn't detract from the chaos that a long throw like that can do to defences. Most defences just don't know how to deal with it because the trajectory of the ball from a throw in is different to a normal cross by kicking the ball.

Nine players now on the treatment table as of 2/11/24. Jodi Jones. Out till at least January 25. Conor Grant. Out till at least January 25 Curtis Edwards. Out till at least January 25. Cedwyn Scott. Taking leave of Absence. Scott Robertson. Ankle injury Sam Austin. Calf muscle injury Dan Crowley. Minor Groin Injury. David McGoldrick. Undisclosed injury. Nick Tsaroulla. Undisclosed injury.

Clocks go back in the United States this weekend, and they are also having a conversation about abolishing putting the clocks back.

He has a remarkably long throw.. A long throw can be a valuable weapon, & this was proved for all to see when Huddersfield couldn't deal with it. It is so surprising that more teams don't use the tactic much more than what they do. Throughout football history, it has been shown to be very successful time & time again. Who can forget the long throw from Andy Legg in the Anglo Italian Cup final in 1995 that led to Tony Agana getting the first goal for Notts.

Kameron Muir got his debut in the FA Cup at 15 years old when he came on late in the match.

A good second half for Notts did the business tonight against a plucky Alfreton. I think Platt & Bedeau were solid in defence again, with Platt getting a goal too. Palmer & Abbott were industrious in midfield as ever. Martin had a good game again, & Jatta keeps rolling on with two well taken goals. But I am going to give my M of M to Jevani Brown who has his best game for Notts with two goals & two assists.

These players are my shortlist for the Man of the Match v Alfreton. Platt, Bedeau, Palmer, Brown, Abbott, Jatta, & Martin

Notts 4th & 5th goals scored by Brown tonight.
