Out of the players that we signed either on permanent or loan, for me the hits are Dennis, Iorpenda, Hall & I would included Luker, but he's now become injured & returned to his parent club. Of the others I would describe Roos as a big miss but he could improve, so I'm not ruling him out just yet. But I would pencil in a replacement for him in January if there isn't a big improvement. Of the others, I think they are probably near misses who are ok as squad players, those players being Aljofree, Bennetts, Cotter, Norburn & Kouhyar Of course anyone of these players can improve & Martin Paterson has challenged all of them to fight for a place. Personally I want Will Jarvis to be given a chance now that Luker has become unavailable. I would send Traoré out on loan to a National League Club to get some game time. We also have Ness waiting in the wings, & Platt is recovering & is on his way back to fitness, so competition for places is certainly going to get hot, & Martin will love it.

Listened to the interview & I thought it was brilliant. It was very informative. I think that Richard coming to Notts could make the prospect of success for Notts a distinct possibility. The knowledge that he has gained at Swansea & the fact that he knows our Club inside out is a massive plus. The way he was talking about the January transfer window I do expect that we will see some players coming in to strengthen the side. Priminary discussions about the January window have already started which is very encouraging. Richard was particularly upbeat about the progress of the new training facilities & thought that a facility like that can attract good players to the club. I would ask all supporters to listen to that interview. I'm sure they will come away from it, as I did, with a positive attitude. It does feel the the Club is doing all it can to make success a reality this season.

It's a big relief that Lewis is cleared to play after receiving a three month suspended ban from football which will be in force for a year. Losing Jaden Luker was a big blow but having Lewis's continued availability softens the blow about Jaden just a little. There is nothing better than having a settled defensive unit, & all three have been playing so well as late.

It's nice to see a long standing domestic football tactic is having a rainacence of popularity. It is a very effective way of causing chaos in the opponents penalty area & can prove very effective in creating scoring opportunities for the attacking side. The long throw tactic is strongly associated with English football, famously used by clubs like Wimbledon in the 1980s. While there is some recent adoption by continental teams, it remains predominantly a feature of the English game & is gaining renewed attention there due to its effectiveness in generating scoring opportunities. it is nice to see a grand old tactic making a big comeback to the domestic game after the spread of the continental influence over recent years.

It's a big blow because Jaden was starting to find his form.

In short, I believe a Club captain should lead by example & also be vocal when it is needed. I agree that Matt is back to his best & he does lead by example because he's the consummate professional & his fellow players look up to him. When a Captain has that level of respect being a little more vocal when it's needed would bring positivity to the team & when I say more vocal that doesn't need to include shouting but can include encouragement & feedback. Let me also just say that a Club Captain will not just have a role on the playing field but also have a role on the training ground, & before a match, during the match, including at half time & after the match.

Another dreary day here. Just having a quiet day in.

This years FA Cup has to be a top priority for the Club. Nothing less than the strongest starting eleven should be fielded for this one. Notts need to have a decent Cup run. Other lower league teams do it, so why not Notts? The long held excuse of resting players for the league is just not going to wash with the majority of the fan base this time. The Club just has to aim for a third round spot & a potential money spinning tie against one of the big six. We are talking about potential earnings of hundreds of thousands of £, money that can go to strengthen the side in January.

The point I was trying to make is that as Belarus are ranked 100 in the international football ratings. Scotland should really be dominating teams such as this. The fact that Belarus were a "class above Scotland in terms of playing styles" demonstrates that Scotland have a long way to go before they can reverse their dismal WC record over the last 40 odd years. Instead of trying to copy the continental style, maybe they should play to their traditional strengths when it comes to playing style.

It looks like the brothers have prepared Notts very well by improving the financial health of the club, so I don't think that our club will have any problems meeting the new criteria. I think that in light of this new development with clubs having to prove their financial health other clubs will be looking at the Notts financial model very favourably. Unfortunately, I don't think that the rich clubs will be affected because of the huge amounts of money that those clubs generate. I don't think that this development will do anything to prevent the richest clubs dominating the Premier League, & with it the football pyramid. I still believe that there should be a cap on transfers fees & players wages to try to prevent the richest clubs creaming the best players, thus reducing fair competition.
