Match highlights. Notts v Northampton.

This is so true. It's such a credit to the club that at one point, six academy players were on the pitch for Notts playing a senior match.

Your Wednesday Morning Weather

I have voted for Rod McDonald who is a class act & played well again tonight. A close 2nd was Nick Tsaroulla who again was dangerous going forward. Third place Jack Hinchy for a good performance in the centre of midfield tonight. I thought Lucas Ness did well at the back in the first half, considering it was his first game for Notts. And a shout-out to all the youngsters tonight who aquited themselves very well especially Ryley Reynolds & Madou Cisse.

Update after the Northampton match. Jodi Jones. Out till at least January 25. Curtis Edwards. Out till at least January 25. Conor Grant. Knee injury, six weeks out minimum David McGoldrick. Rested. Sore hamstrings. Cedwyn Scott. Felt something after the Gillingham match. Rested as a precaution.

Well done guys.

My shortlist for Man of the Match is:- Lucas Ness, Nick Tsaroulla, Ryley Reynolds, Jack Hinchy Rod McDonald, Madou Cisse

So what did we get out of this match? Well we know that McDonald is a class act & is going to feature in the Notts starting eleven quite a lot. Ness looked good in the first half, but he has to build up his fitness.Tsaroulla impressed too on the right. The youngsters tried their best but lacked composure which is understandable. The standout youngsters were Ryley Reynolds & Madou Cisse for me, but all of them should be congratulated for their effort tonight. I was disappointed with Martin and Brown. I expected much more from them. I think that Stuart will have learned a few things tonight. On the defence side he has plenty of cover, but in attack there is concern especially Scott not playing tonight. Whether he's picked up an injury well have to find out But at the moment I think the Club needs to bring in another free agent for up front if there is someone available that can fit into our style of play.

Full time. Notts 0 Northampton 2.
