Another grey and murky start to the day on Wednesday.

When all is said and done the problem with Football is money, two much of it belongs to the top six clubs & not enough gets filtered down the football tier. Until that changes in any mean full way. Nothing will change.

Well my fellow PON Members. That is the question. Can Notts get Promotion in 2025? Notts have made a great start & with a quarter of the season completed they sit in 3rd position in the table on 26 points, with just 2 losses in 14 matches. Notts have shown improvements in the defensive area that has seen them only concede 12 goals in the league, which is less than 1 goal a game on average. Notts have continued to demonstrate, that although they lost Langstaff before the beginning of the season, they haven't lost their potency up front, with 22 goals scored in the league up to now. Notts have all the all round attributes to make a challenge this season, & it is entirely possible that a team with 90 points could get automatic promotion, Notts are well on the way. I think it is possible for Notts to get automatic promotion this year. They do have some tough games coming up this month, starting at Doncaster. If they can get through these tough matches this month with a reasonable points tally, & get some of their best players back from injury in January, the promotion charge will be on. Thoughts?

Nice to see Jevani Brown make it in the FA Cup Team of the Week.

Friendly match for the B Team tomorrow.

I'm sceptical of having an independent regulator. I'm afraid there is no such thing as an independent anything nowadays. People have opinions, so they are going to be for or against a particular thing. Even an independent regulator will favour the bigger clubs rather than the smaller ones, because at the end of the day money talks, & if you have the money it makes a club very powerful. As for the PL. There should be a salary & transfer cap. Each club should only be allowed two of the most expensive players, & their needs to be at least 6 home players on the field of play at any one time to help home players develop. This may reduce the standard in the PL but I think it needs to be done.

For me there have been four players that have stood out for Notts, Matty Platt, Dan Crowley, Alassana Jatta. & Jacob Bedeau Four other players warrant a mention, Alex Bass, Nick Tsaroulla, David McGoldrick & George Abbott My player of the season so far is Matty Platt not just for his consistent performances in defence, because he & his fellow defence men, have contributed to a vast improvement in the Notts defence since last season.
