@Wheelbarrow repair man Notts just have to go long much more than what they are doing at home. Bass needs to punt the ball upfield on more occasions. Bass needs to kick long more when he has a goal kick to find Jatta upfield. Tsaroulla needs to be on the left side where I think he is more effective. Another tactic would be just to let the opposition come on to Notts & for Notts to hit on the break for once. Just any way to create more space and room upfront needs to be found.

Also @Wheelbarrow repair man Jodi used to take two players with him and out the game, & Crowley could exploit that space, so could others, but Jodi's not their for a while so someone else has to make that space now.

@Nocturnal-Magpie Stuart has already improved the Notts defence no end, so that's a massive positive

I think that is part of it when you say there is no leadership on the pitch @Wheelbarrow repair man I think that Matt Palmer has lots of respect from the players & fans but I don't think he's a leader on the pitch as such. I also don't think he's up to full fitness yet. I think the team, the way they play, is still far too predictable for me. I just think Notts play it around at the back too much. If teams continue to sit back and just employ the hard press against Notts they have to counter it by either going long or quick incisive passing to get the wingers down the flanks to get behind the defenders. If the opposition aren't giving Notts room they have to create space themselves. In away matches Notts get more room because the home team attack Notts much more & leave space behind that Notts can exploit. Unfortunately, space is at a premium at home & Stuart is going to have to solve this very quickly, because every team that comes to ML will just copy each others tactics against Notts.

The poll is now closed. Thanks to all of you who voted. I am pleased to announce that Nick Tsaroulla has been voted PON Man of the Match v Northampton.

Crewe Alexandra women are in the Premier Division of the North West Women's Regional FL, which is tier 5 of the Women's FL pyramid, one below Notts. Notts have shown some good away form on their travels & will be hoping to progress to the next round. Crewe must not be underestimated & Notts will have to be on their best form to progress. Notts will need to be tight at the back & take their chances when they present themselves.If Notts play anywhere near their best they should get a win here.

What will the weather be like on Friday?

An interesting article. I believe that when so many players come into a club, it will take time for the Head Coach to decide who is best eleven is. And it always takes time for players to gel together as a team. I'm sure the results will improve as the players become accustomed to one another. Trouble is, Head Coaches & Managers soon come under the spotlight when the results aren't forthcoming. Professional Football is a results oriented business, & Head Coaches/Managers will only be given so long to deliver. However, in the long term, I'm sure the Nordic owners will do good things for Burton, & their financial investment will be rewarded.

It's turning chilly this Thursday Evening

It had saved what I wrote & the post went through ok????

Notts have made a good start & in their first 10 league matches they have won 5 & lost only 2. Unfortunately, Notts have played 3 of the top teams but have lost two of them & drawn 1. That is just 1 point from those three matches. Four of their wins came against teams currently in the bottom 6. Last season, Notts had a poor record against the top 7 sides only gaining 19 points from a possible 60. This season Notts know that they will need to take more points from these top of the league tussles to either get into the playoffs or better still get automatic promotion. Notts will be meeting Doncaster & Walsall soon who are in the top 7 presently, & Notts will be hoping for a positive result against those two. Can Notts reverse this trend of poor results against the top teams in league 2? I think they can but they need to counter the way that teams are playing against them, especially at home, & Notts need to be more unpredictable in the way they play too. Notts County may have to wait for Doncaster Rovers and Walsall to address recent issue: View FOOTBALLLEAGUEWORLD.CO.UK Notts County's defeat to Port Vale on Saturday continued the Magpies' poor run of...

I was posting a new topic & wrote quite a lot and got that message. Think I've lost what I wrote.

We have a tie breaker Nick Tsaroulla takes the lead????

@liampie I've tipped Cisse & Reynolds to be on the bench on Saturday. They both played well on Tuesday.

Good Morning all, it's been a lovely morning here with unbroken skies throughout the morning, although it is now starting to cloud over. Looks like we had rain again overnight & the ground remains sodden.
