@Joshua Cundy was sent upfront late on to do a job for Stuart. It's not his natural position but you have to give him Kudos for trying. He nearly scored late on too

Latest League table. Peterborough are top. Notts in fifth place.

The Poll is now closed & it's been a close race between Dan Crowley & Kelan Gordon for man of the match. I am pleased to announce by a small majority, that Dan Crowley is the PON Man of the Match against Port Vale Thank you to all who voted

I looked up some interesting Statistics comparing the League 2 table of the 6th Oct 2023 with the table today Notts were top of the table this time last year on goal difference after 10 games. They were on 20 points. They had scored 23 goals but conceded 19 with a goal difference of +4. This season they are on 18 points in fifth place 1 point behind the top team. They have scored 17 goals & conceded 9 with a goal difference of +8 So this season the team has conceded 10 goals less than at the same time last season. So I think that shows that Notts have improved defensively, but have scored 6 less goals. Stuart is trying to get the balance right between having a good defence & having a successful attack. At the moment I think he has the balance just about right. What he has to solve is the team opening up teams at home who are prepared to sit back & wait for opportunities up front. Maybe he needs to play two strikers at home, with wing backs that can get behind defenders. Funnily enough, when playing away, Notts get more space to create better chances, because teams at home want to attack Notts more It will be interesting to see how things develop in the next 10 matches

@CliftonMagpie To give him credit, Stuart put Cundy up front & Cundy extracted a good save from their goalie, so putting him up there nearly paid off, but I agree, at home we need two up front. We missed Didzy, who could have been the second striker

@Chris after Notts had taken a 3:0 lead, Peterborough scored almost immediately near to half time. They were always gone to come out all guns blazing & got the early second half goal. Notts did well to hold them until the 80th minute then conceded a disputed penalty, that allowed the Posh to equalise. The team will learn from this, but it does show how far they have come from last season.

Your Sunday Evening Weather

Notts were the better side & on a different day would have scored in the first 20 minutes. Teams are going to come to meadow lane & sit back and just wait for opportunities. Notts need to be able to counter this because it will happen at every home game just like last season. In this match we missed Jones, Didzy, Grant & Edwards. Notts need to be more incisive up front to break these teams down. I hope that lessons will be learned for the next home match.

Notts lose by an odd goal in seven, but they can be so proud of their performance today, especially in the first half against a top side. Notts were ahead until the 80th minute and gave Peterborough a right scare.

Update. Peterborough take the lead.

Update. Goal to Peterborough after a disputed penalty was awarded.

I wonder now that Chicksen has left, Notts will be looking for an additional loan player, or free agent, to come in to bolster the Notts squad?

The Notts team has been selected????

Good Morning. Looks like we had a small amount of rain last night. The sun looks like it's trying to peak through the cloud & it's a little bit windy. Disappointed with the Notts result yesterday, but the Club moves on. We have a Notts County Women's match against Peterborough today at Coronation Park Eastwood. And there is a football league trophy match against Northampton on Tuesday evening. So plenty to look forward to for the next few days, Notts wise.

Cloudy with a chance of drizzle first thing on Sunday.
