Spot on Robbie. If Notts aren't going to encourage it's young talent what's the point of having a Youth Team? It seems that the Club gets hold of young Talent and once they reach a certain level they get repeatedly sent out on Loan without even getting a sniff of playing for the first team or even sitting on a the bench. Then the young player gets fed up and goes elsewhere or retires from the Game. Which loan players have performed well at Notts in recent seasons? I would say Jodi was a Gamble which paid off handsomely and Lewis Macari was coming to the end of his Stoke contract and he had nothing to lose by throwing in his lot with Notts. Perhaps the last two loan plays to make any real impact in the Black & White stripes were Ryan Yates and Jorge Grant way back in 2017/2018? If I remember right the last Notts player to come through the ranks at the Lane and play on a more or less regular basis was Curtis Thompson. Ohh Tommy Johnson I'm afraid I don't agree with you regarding Cameron in my opinion he's to slow, get a player with speed and he's left for Dead. Every time Baldwin gets the ball it seem the crowd hold their breath waiting for him to fall over and give the ball away. And if like you say he's being a bad influence he needs, to be shown the door .

Because Super_Danny_ Allsop if Notts are to improve than money needs to be spent. Lewis Macari is an excellent player but just look at his playing Pedigree. The Recruitment team struck lucky with Macca and Cedwyn and Dan Crowley didn't come from the National League, but for every Gem they've unearthed they have signed their fair share of players that clearly are not League 2 standard. And with Successful Teams you'll usually find a mixture of Both Young and Experienced Players.

It would seem that Jim O'Brien has played his Last Game for Notts down the Lane. At 36 it seems Jim as decided to hang up his Boots. Ever since the guy walked through the door at Notts he's given his all and fought like a Warrior and played his part in getting the Magpies back into the Football League. He's spilt blood for the Club remember the Horrific gash he got on his Leg? When a an opposing players studs ripped open a wound on his leg. Remember how he stood up for his fellow players against Alan Hardy and his non payment of wages? Fans and fellow Players and the Managers he's played under since his arrival in 2019 owe the Guy a Massive Thankyou. I would ask Chris and Alex find a position within the Club for this Notts Legend to continue his huge positive influence at the Lane. I thought after Notts Wembley Victory Jim may have decided to hang up his boots then, but being the Guy he is he's stayed on and helped the Magpies secure and consolidate their place in League 2. Jim you're a Hero and a Notts Legend. JIM O'BRIEN HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN.

Nail hit fully on the Head Robbie. Experienced Defenders the Blood and Guts Type of Player who would strike fear into opposing attackers. Players that can do a proper job defending the Notts Box so not every single Notts player needs to come back and defend leaving some of the Magpie strike force up field to take advantage of a quick counter attack. And I'm Fed Up Of Saying This. Notts Need A Leader On The Pitch an Experienced Captain who can shout order and get the Best Out of His Team while they're on the Pitch. But just as important as a tough defence a Goalkeeper who can dominate his box and area, and doesn't go for a walk to almost the half way line when Notts are attacking.

This young lady goes to a Tattooists and tells him My soon to be husband is really into Tattoos and as a surprise on our wedding night I want a Tattoo to show him. Ok says the Tattooist What were you thinking of doing? I'd like you to tattoo a little Butterfly on each of my Bum Cheeks. Sorry says the Tattooist I can't Tattoo Butterflies there the worst thing to Tattoo. I can do a you a Bee I'm World Famous for me Bees. Well I really wanted Butterflies, but if you can't do them I'll have a Bee on each cheek. So she has a Bee Tattooed on each cheek of her Bum. Anyway on her Wedding Night she comes out of the bathroom, turns her back on her husband, lifts the her nightie bends over and says Well What Do You Think? Her new husband looks and says Who The Hell's BOB ?

My Mate's daughter and Son in law took him to a Garden Centre the other week he was looking around when he was approached by a youth who worked there. Can I help you Sir? Yes replied my Mate I'd like to buy a Garden. We don't sell Gardens Sir only things that go in a Garden. Oh in that case, I'd like to buy a Path said my Mate.

I guess I'll just have to Agree to Disagree with you Robbie. Maynard still could have played Macca and Cedwyn up front from the off even if Ceds had only lasted till half time. Jodi was kept very quiet today he didn't play to his usual high standard, the Colchester defender on his side didn't give him anything. Ashby-Hammond almost cost Notts a goal with his wondering out of his 18 yard box, the Colchester player almost chipped him but his shot hit the woodwork. If it was Jim's last game at Meadow Lane he certainly went out like A Warrior, if only he was 5 or so years younger. He needs to be kept at the Lane in some sort of capacity next season. Dan Crowley was outstanding again and Macca well he was just Macca, he came up with the Goal to break the Stalemate and was unlucky not to score more. Despite the recent Results there still needs to be Massive Changes at Notts in the off Season. An interesting quote from the Forest Green Owner when asked about their two successive Relegations he honestly stated Our Recruitment over the last two seasons has been Abysmal. So lets hope Montague and his team get things Right. The first couple of months next season should be enough time to tell if Stuart Maynard is the Man for the Job at Notts.

True Story Back in the 1960's there was a Cooking programme on the BBC which featured the Cook Fanny Cradock and her husband Johnny. Each week Fanny would cook something and at the end of the live TV show a chap would come on and ask views if they would like the Recipe for that weeks meal here is the address they needed to write too. One week Fanny cooked doughnuts and at the end off the show the Guy came on and said If you want your Doughnut's to be like Fanny's...... I would have liked to have seen them.

I sometimes Despair regarding Stuart Maynard he brings on Cedwyn Scott and who does he replace Macca Langstaff. Unbelievable this match could well have been the Last Time Ceds and Macca play together at the Lane. And Maynard pulls a Stunt like that in fact he could have started them both up Front instead of leaving Macca as the lone Striker. Maynard Really Does Not Have A Clue At Times. And wonders why the Fans Criticise him. The Magpies ended their season on home soil will a Win, but it was as Boring as Hell now on to Forest Green. I also thought the Ref was awful again today.

Strange as it may seem Danny Cowley might be the one to swing things Colchester's way. He has a lot more Coaching Experience than Stuart Maynard and he'll have his Team Fired up and they'll know if they Win down the Lane they'll be safe and Sutton will go down ( I still think Sutton will go down what ever tomorrows result is). Maynard is going to have to match Cowley and get the Magpies Fired up to Win their last match at Home for 2023/2024 season. Because if they don't Win, following the Stockport disaster on Tuesday an awful Lot of Notts Fans are going to carry a lot of Negative feelings into and over the off season and Stuart Maynard is going to get a Huge amount of Bad Press on Social Media Platforms.

While visiting a friend in Hospital a man in his pyjamas ran past me, followed by a Nurse carrying a large saucepan full of boiling water. When a Doctor shouted No Nurse I said prick his boil. Then there was the time I was messing about on the river on a friends narrow boat, when I heard a chap in a rowing boat screamed at his wife Martha I said grab hold of the Rowlocks. I once walked past this factory which had a big sign outside which said Murphy's Tool Works. I thought so does mine, but I don't Go around bragging about it.

I think there will be Fan Groups and Clubs Nationwide fighting against this but will it be enough to make the FA back down? As you've said Robbie regarding the Championship League1 and the cash cows of League 2 their Silence is Deafening.

Just read Notts statement regarding the fa's FA Cup replays stance. Myself along with all other Magpie Fans ( I am sure) applaud the Club's declaration on the issue.

Now that's One Hell Of A Good Idea DangerousSausage all Clubs outside of the Premier League Boycott the FA Cup. I'm sure Fans from other clubs would back the Idea like Fans did regarding the European Super League. As it's been said Football Is For The Fans. Start letting the fa get away with moves like this and what will happen in the Future? The fa in it's present Structure needs to be totally dismantled then reassembled with people at the top who have the Fans interests at heart because We are the life Blood of the Sport and without Us The FA and the EFL and the Richest Clubs in the Premier Are NOTHING.

I left my job at the helium gas Factory. I will not be Spoken to in that Tone. Is my wife disappointed with my body. A Small part of me says Yes. While working at Waterstones a man came in, and asked Do you have an audio book with subtitles. I thought hold on a minute that's a book. Then there was the Guy who crossed a sheep with a Kangaroo and got a Wooley jumper.

It's an APPALLING Idea. Just imagine Notts get Drawn away to a team in either the Championship or even a Premier League side and they put in a fighting performance and get a Draw, now they bring that team back to the Lane even if they lose the replay the Financial rewards for the club would help swell the Clubs coffers. The type of money that would generate for a team say in the National League could be a life line for that Club Financially. It could help Clubs in some cases fight off the threat of going out of business, or at least put them on a more secure financial footing. Once Again the FA Show how out of touch they are with the Real World and how they Don't Give A Toss about Clubs outside the Premiership.

Two lawyers I know, one is Pro Bono while the other thinks he's a proper idiot. I once met the Edge at an airport and after he'd signed my autograph book and had his picture taken with me I said It was nice to meet you he replied Yeah You Too. I went to the Doctors for an examination, he told me Don't eat anything Fatty. What like Chips Bacon Crisps? No he said don't eat Anything Fatty. Did you hear about the Cow which jumped over a Barb Wire Fence? It was Udder destruction.

On the Recruitment 's team's Minus side Warner Colkett Morias Stone and Randall. Swings and Roundabouts. Stuart Maynard says he knows where the Squad needs strengthening lets hope he'll be allowed to Express his wishes and his ideas aren't brushed to one side by the Recruitment team. Also let's hope Montague and his minions don't go about signing players Willy Nilly just to increase the Notts Squad Size just for the Sheer Hell of it. Mind you I don't think that will happen because the Brothers do have a Strong Grip on the Clubs Financial Circumstances.

I can't see Maynard dropping Langstaff. All Hell would break loose if the top scorer in League 2 is missing from the Line up and he wasn't injured. It would be nice to see Macca and Cedwyn line up together one last time at the Lane. I'm sure AJ would understand (even if he's fit). Realistically it depends on which Notts Team turns up, if it's the Great we'll soon be on our summer break and we can't be bothered team then I'll think the Magpies will Struggle. If the Players come Out with the let's Put On A Show attitude as a Massive Thankyou to the Fans for their Loyalty then Notts should Batter Colchester.

Well lets see Colchester need one more Win to secure their League 2 Status. So who's going to be more Up For It, come 3'oclock Saturday? Notts 1 Colchester 2.

Ah Robbie I Admire Your Belief and Positivity, but even you admit the Notts Defence is A Total Shambles. IF is a little Word with a Big Meaning. If Macca hadn't Scuffed his chance early Doors, I don't think it would have mattered even if he had scored, Stockport had the Bit between their teeth and there was only one side who was going to Win Last Night. If Notts had a better defence the Magpies could have been challenging for automatic or at least a chance of promotion via the playoffs. If Notts had a better Man in charge of Recruitment the Magpies wouldn't be floundering, in the bottom half of League 2. If Stuart Maynard had Football League Experience maybe he would have hit the ground Running at the Lane, which was needed after LW departure. IF IF IF, I could go on about such things as Bad Officials etc etc. I can't be Positive about next season, Not until I see the Recruitment and see Stuart Maynard's approach to Notts playing style, because if he continues with this Tippy Tappy slow side to side the back to the Keeper again type of Football then the Magpies Are Going To Struggle.

That's just it Robbie WE Fans know what the Problems Are, however it seems the Head of Recruitment and his Team DO NOT. Their Poor judgement in the signing of players hasn't helped the Notts Cause. Nor That of Stuart Maynard. In fact if Montague had a job outside of Notts he'd had been SACKED a Long Time Ago. Yes the Magpies do have a thin Squad but they didn't when they played Sutton and they Got 9 Goals put past them over two games, by a Team who is on the Verge of being Relegated back to the National League. Piethagoram not only Hartlepool you only need to Look at Forest Green League 1 relegated ( the Grass isn't always Greener on the other side Eh Mr Burchnall) League 2 Relegated, and an unknown future. And your So Right About the Notts Defence. Fozzy I'm with you regarding Paul Mace and Stal grilling Montague, but as it's been talked about on this Site, it Ain't Gonna Happen. But if anyone from that Podcast come and read our Comments on PON, They have my Full Permission to use any of my Questions or Quotes I have placed on this Site. And Finally (hooray I hear you cheer) there are Two Guys who run a very Popular You tube Channel on Notts. They said Notts have Nothing To Play For. Guys you're so Wrong. Notts Have Hell Of A Lot To Play For. 1 Pride 2 The Shirt and Most Important Us The Fans, who turn up week in and week out and spend our Hard Earned Cash on Season Tickets Notts Shirts and going to Away Games.

Welcome to the REAL World did the Stats and Data predict this? And did the Stats and Data Predict how Poor our Defence would be? No but funny enough the Fans knew. As soon as the line up came out and who Notts had in the Back Three, I bet there were an awful lot of Fans who knew Notts were on to a Hiding. Brinsley Baldwin and Cameron it's been clear from the Start of the season NONE of these players are League 2 Standard. How much Longer are Notts going to play Tippy Tappy Football in their own 18 yard Box? What does it need to Convince Stuart Maynard and his Coaching Staff you can't play this type of Football in League 2, you have to mix things up and Not be Predictable ( how many times have those words been written on here?) Notts haven't beaten any of the Promoted sides this season, being thumped 4-1 at home by Mansfield and Now 5-2 by Stockport.,(home) along with the 2-0 lose to Wrexham(home). And a team who seem certain to Relegated back to the National League, have scored a Total of 9 goals against The Magpies over two matches. So Nobody Can Say That There Isn't A Problem Down The Lane. A Total Rebuild Is Required and if Montague his Recruitment team and Data doesn't get it right in the off season, then Let's Not Kid Ourselves Notts are going to be mediocre at Best or in a Relegation fight.

There was this Chap and his wife who enjoyed Walking Holidays and Rambling around the countryside. One day they came to the top of a hill and in the valley below was an Old Deserted Farm. So they went down to investigate. As they looked around the Chap said I remember this place we've been here before. Are you sure says his wife? Yes says her Husband we made Love up against that fence. His Wife looks over and says Yes you're right. How about we make Love against that fence again for Old Times Sake? Suggests the Husband. Alright then replies his wife. So they get down to it and the Wife is wriggling and jiggling and when they finish. The Husband says Blimey You weren't ' like that the first time. I know replies his Wife, But the First time the Fence Wasn't Electrified.

Absolutely right Robbie both Macca and Jodie deserve all the Accolades bestowed on them. Both players have shown their class since pulling on the Black & White Stripes of Notts County and to lose One or Both will be a Massive Blow to the Club, but there can't be any hard feelings should they seek Pastures New next season, both deserve to be able to display their Talents at a Higher Level. Macca I'm pretty sure can play in the Championship and Jodi maybe as well. It would be a shame to loose them to a League 1 team when they could stay at the Lane in hope of the Magpies getting Promoted next season. But then again both are in their mid Twenties and the chance of playing further up the Footballing Pyramid and the financial benefits they'd receive may prove to be to much of a bigger temptation. Macca to Derby or Swansea while Jodi may also benefit from playing under Luke Williams again? Who knows? I've still got a strange feeling in the back of my mind that there's an outside chance Wrexham will put in a Bid for Both of them. And to put things into prospective could the signing of Alassana Jatta be a move by the Owners because they know or are expecting to lose Macca during this coming off season and the Jatta signing was to give Alassana time to adjust to playing for Notts so he wouldn't Go into the New Season cold? Since AJ was signed in January he's done his settling in period and adjusting to a life in a New Country, which means he'll be more than Ready for the New Season.
