Morecambe came back from two goals down to draw at Fleetwood tonight. Notts will need to be at their best on Saturday.

Look how quickly Macca has gone from hero to villain in just a few months since his move What the press & the keyboard warriors forget is that a good or very good striker cannot do it all in his own. He needs a good supply route from good players around him, He needs to know his team mates well, & have a good understanding with them. Another thing is the playing style of the team which can effect goal scoring opportunities, or how the striker is expected to play within that team. It's sometimes hard to go from one club to another, or from club football to international football, with a different style or types of players in the team. Most critics don't even think about things like that.

@Wheelbarrow repair man I don't expect that Burton will field a strong first starting eleven either. Notts have six players down injured, so Notts cannot afford any more from this game. To be honest, teams should just play the B side with just a few first teamers wanting match time.

I also remember the Football League Centenary Tournament in 1988 to celebrate the centenary of the football league. The tournament was won by Brian Clough's Forest.

Plenty of rain around today.

I can give you three Cup competitions in one that have become no more. The Full Members' Cup was a cup competition held in English football from 1985/92. It was also known under its sponsored names of the Simod Cup from 1987/89 and the Zenith Data Systems Cup from 1989/92. The advent of the PL basically killed it. PS. Don't forget Mansfield was included in the County Cup.

I've been many times to different dentists for treatment during my adult life & the receptionist & staff always tend to ask: How are you, or How are you today?

I love to hear Mark Stallard's analysis. He is so good at picking through the Notts performance post match. I think he is absolutely correct with his analysis. Notts didn't play poorly in this game, they didn't play to their best, but any other day they could have easily won this match It was unfortunate that the chances didn't fall to Didzy, Crowley or Jones otherwise I'm sure they would have buried those chances. I won't dwell on the goal ruled out for offside & the penalty that wasn't given, but another day & another Ref things may have been different. There are positives to take too. The Notts defence was solid again, Bedeau showed that he will be a big player for Notts this season. And Notts did create plenty of chances against a side that will be up there at the season's end. Onwards we go to Morecambe next Saturday.

For the trophy match against Burton & think that we will see many changes to the Notts starting 11 on Tuesday. I may be wrong but Jatta won't feature because Stuart will want to give him every chance to recover from his recent head injury. I think Brown will start upfront with Austin supporting from midfield. Reynolds may get his first start too, with Palmer & Hinchy in central midfield We may well see Cundy in central defence with Macari & Bedeau. Slocombe in goal, Chicksen at left wing back, Gordon on the right. I forsee a strong bench with McGoldrick, Platt, Crowley, Abbott, Grant, Bass, & Sanderson all available to come on if required. It would be nice to get something out of this game, but Stuart will be thinking more about next Saturday, & ensuring that there are no more injuries.
