I think that having an exceptional number 10, like for example Ruben, who scored 48 goals in 120 appearances for Notts & Dan Crowley, who scored 19 in 64 appearances, can be just as valuable as having a striker who may not even get into the side on a regular basis.

@Fan of Big Tone putting personalities & Clubs aside, does a club have a legitimate grievance if the Ref blows before the alloted stated injury time communicated around the ground by the fourth official? It's an interesting development.

An interesting takeaway from that interview for me was that if a player, for example, a striker was to be sold it might not follow that another striker would replace that striker. If the team could be strengthened in another area that may produce more goals, for example, in the AM or wingback areas, it may not need a like for like replacement. I would have thought that sort of thinking would only come into play if one striker was sold & not two. On other parts of the interview, pleased that the club plan to bring in another experienced goalkeeper to challenge Roos. Personally I hope that the club doesn't sell anyone, but just strengthens the squad. It would be a big blow if one or both of our strikers were sold on.

I think that no matter what Club it is. The Manager may have a legitimate grievance because the fourth official indicated two minutes injury time at the end of the first half, & the Ref blew his whistle and ended the half after just one minute.

This would set a precedent if successful.

I know that Notts are doing it because every one else is doing it, but it doesn't make it right. If someone feigns injury the fourth official could ensure the players are not coached & if the coach ignores the official send him to the stands.

It didn't do them much good, but the authorities need to get a hold of this & make the players stay in or around the centre circle & ban coaching during each half of the game.

One of the things that Martin Paterson has brought to Notts is that it is less likely that a team can come to Meadow Lane & do a smash and grab like Walsall were attempting. It may well happen from time to time, but so long that it is less likely, especially as we go into the 2nd part of the season, it could well be the difference that can get Notts promoted this time.

@theAnticlough Martin does have lots of options with several players able to play in different positions. I've also wondered if Robbo or Palmer could play in that Grant position if both were fully fit?

I think that Roos, Macari, Platt, Bedeau, Norburn & Iorpenda had excellent games once again. The clean sheet is a testament to how they played. Matt Dennis stood out amongst the forward players.

@theAnticlough I'd like to see Kouhyar selected from the start too. I wonder if Martin thinks Bennetts is better defensively? Bennetts seems to be keeping Jodi on the bench too.
