I used to deliver to the Supermarkets & Supermarket lites.

When I was working I was a HGV 2 multi drop delivery driver. I used to walk average 4 to 5 miles a shift plus the lifting which gave me plenty of exercise. Since retiring I try to aim for 4 miles a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Since retiring in just under a year I'm approaching 1000 miles on my pedometer. Just shows how far we do walk even in everyday living. Just doing weekly shopping one can walk 1.5 to 2 miles going round the iles.

A few years ago they were just weather fronts, now they are named storms. They are not any more intense than when they were just weather fronts. It just seems that way when they are named. I suppose naming them gets people's attention, that's possibly what they want.

Storm Jocelyn has arrived

@DangerousSausage I think that all our defence needs is extra cover when we lose possession up front, Jaden will give us an extra dimension, height and ball skills, but we need more caution when going forward, mix up the short game with the long game, & when the defence is under pressure get rid of it or kick the ball into touch. Less trying to be clever at the back, can cut out much of the mistakes. I'm sure Stuart will make small changes to our shape and style of play especially in the next 5 make or break games.

A thread to discuss Nottingamshire Cricket and everything Cricket. Trent Rockets. The 2024 fixtures have been released for the Men's and Women's 100 matches. https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/news/2024/january/trent-rockets-2024-fixtures-confirmed.html?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Organic%20%2B%20Social&utm_campaign=Rockets%20Fixtures&s=09 More fixtures here for other teams.

I expect that Stuart will work with our existing squad to reduce the goals conceded column. Yes we have made defensive mistakes, but many of the goals conceded, come by the way the defence has been exposed when we are all out attacking, and are caught on the counter.

Panthers Face Glasgow tomorrow and Sheffield on Saturday at the Motorpoint Arena. Two wins are vital.

Neil Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk are into the mixed doubles semi-final in Melbourne.

I agree @True Magpie I would like Notts to be more cautious and less adventurous up front. Notts are an entertaining team, but I do dislike the tendancy to involve in ping pong football with the opposition. We've seen a lot of that during the last dozen games or so when Notts have found themselves behind to defensive errors and are then forced to throw caution to the wind. I hope Stuart can change that.

My parents bought me a leather football with bladder and laces. My mates and I played on the rec with it. In the wet it was like a ball of concrete to head.

Just imagine @liampie what these players of yesteryear would have had to put up with. A leather ball with a bladder inside and laces to close it up, becoming twice as heavy or more in the wet and mud, then having to head a heavy ball like that. These players would have had to be made of the hard stuff. Then there's the pitches of yesteryear, hardly pristine surfaces like today. Then the gear they had to wear, hardly lightweight and cool. Yet despite all of that, he remained fit enough to score all those goals in his career.

Another appointment. Ian Smith assumes the role of Chairman at Notts C Women FC.

I believe Jaden Warner is going to be a really good signing for Notts, his hight being 6ft 4ins, his pace and skill on the ground is just what Notts need at the back. He's very comfortable going forward and has played on the left or right of defence for Norwich. Jaden has three days or so to train with his new team mates before the Barrow match on Saturday. I would like him to go straight into the side on Saturday but he'll probably be on the bench for that game. Incidentally, Jaden has been used to playing in a back 4 at Norwich rather than a back 3. I still believe Stuart will make some subtle changes to the way we shape up for Barrow, to plug those gaps on transition when we lose possession high up the pitch. Can't wait till Saturday.

@Chris when I scroll to the 2nd or more pages of the latest thread page, when I try to scroll back the page kinda blanks out with very faint writing of thread headings just visible. I have to come out of PON then back in again to correct it. I'm on an android phone. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this?

I've had that happen to me too.
