Your Thursday Morning Weather

Continued with helping the Mrs do the house cleaning this week. Also been out in the garden as usual. Made the dinner, testing out my culinary skills. The TV has been off this week. No time to watch it. I'm just loving my retirement.

Scott gets the number nine shirt. Dissapointing that Jatta hasn't got the number nine shirt, but pleased for Cedwyn that Stuart has given it to him for the season.

It is always hard the predict how the first game of the season will pan out, but I am confident that Notts can get a positive result at Tranmere. I would be happy with a 0:0 or 1:1 draw on Saturday. I think that Notts should field a more defensive line up for this one. My team if they are fit. Starting 11 Bass, Gordon, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Tsaroulla, Robertson, Edwards, Crowley, Jones, Jatta. Subs, Nemane, Scott, McGoldrick, Austin, Slocombe, McDonald, Hinchy I would play Jones supporting Jatta upfront with a roving role. The side has been picked to ensure we don't get exposed on the flanks because Gordon & Tsaroulla are wingbacks that can defend. I just think that for the first game, Notts should be more cautious to help to ensure that Notts get the right result on Saturday. With that side Notts are quite capable of snatching a win. CMON U PIES!

Liked the Frankenstein movies with Boris Karloff & the Wolf Man with Lon Chaney Junior. Those films tend to be looked upon as Comedy nowadays. The Hammer Horror films were popular too in the late 50s & 60s with Christopher Lee as Dracula. Probably my favourite horror film is King Kong 1933, with Robert Armstrong & Fay Wray.

I'm not disappointed that he didn't sign for Notts. Not sure that he would have got well into our style of play anyway Notts have three excellent strikers of their own and if it comes down to it, one of our attacking midfielders such as Jodi, Nemane or Crowley could fill in as an emergency striker if needed.

An interesting and well put together article. Nice to get a view and perspective from an opposition fan. I think that Tranmere will be up there hoping to get a playoff place. It will be a good test for Notts with it being the first match of the season, & being at their place too. Both teams will be looking for a strong start to the season, & it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top. I'm hoping of course that it is Notts that come away with a confidence boosting win, but the match will be a tricky one, & Tranmere must not be underestimated.
