@Fan of Big Tone agree, pity about Will Swan. But I think the thirteen Notts have brought in are good enough to help them challenge for silverware this season.

A win today for the under 18s against Huddersfield Town academy.

Lunch Good fightback in the morning session by Notts Notts are 231 for 4 with young Freddie McCann on 109 not out.

@Joshua I think the deadline day incomings were slow, because I think it became apparent that clubs were trying to screw Notts with inflated transfer demands & Notts weren't playing. I think overall it's been a successful summer signing period where 13 players have come in, being over half the squad. Stuart and the board are delighted with what they have. Stuart needs to mould them into a promotion winning team if he can.

Notts do lots of research on players that they are interested in. That's what the recruiters do. There may be up to 50 or more players, even more, that they do extensive research on before they even put them into a list of priority. I'm quite sure that Jevani coming to Notts is not a last minute decision, but he would have been on a list of players Notts were interested in. When Notts couldn't get their priority pick for some reason, there will always be other players that they have extensively researched that will become available. I think that comes down to Notts's excellent recruitment Management.

On paper this looks like a good signing to complete the Notts squad. Jevani can play either on the wing, attacking midfield or as a striker. Jevani will give Stuart Maynard options during a game if I suspect that he will be on the bench to cover in case of injuries or changes needed tactically. I'm sure that Brown doesn't want to be sitting on the bench, and will try to prove a point by forcing himself into the side. Time will tell, if his loan to Notts will be successful, but his addition does strengthen the squad & that's what Stuart wanted.

It's Matchday. CMON U PIES

Day three. Notts resume on 144 for 3 replying to Surrey's 525 all out.

Confidence should be high after the win against Grimsby.The team that played Grimsby should pick itself if all are fit. There may be a question mark whether Robertson will play, however Notts will have the players in midfield that can come straight into the side if necessary, & still do a job for the side Swindon should not be underestimated & they will post a threat from corners, free kicks & down the flanks. If Notts can keep it tight at the back, Notts's attacking prowess should create enough chances to score a few goal. In hoping for a 2:1 win, however a clean sheet would be great.

Your weekend weather forecast

@Chris It's good news that Jodi and Dan are staying at least until January. I hope that Notts offer them new improved contracts, with possibly of a get out clause if big offers come in that Notts can't refuse in January. But until then it's now up to the squad to perform & ensure no player leaves, because if the team is near to the top of the league come January, hopefully no one will want to leave.

Dan & Jodi are staying. Those two staying are as good as two massive transfer incomings. Fantastic news to end the day.
