I think this kid has a promising future down the Lane. And it will be interesting to see how he plays along side Matty Palmer, when Matty is back from injury and back in the team.

Regarding those who ask the questions in these interviews I hope they aren't getting paid. The first guy seems Ok but the other two sound like they've just woken up!! Their questions are all the same only put differently, there's no questions about how Jatta's settling in, is SM considering him for a place on the bench ? How does he think his new striker will fit into the Notts set up? It's boring and mundane. The Lass who questioned Stuart Maynard in his first interview after being confirmed as the new Notts head coach sounded professional and asked the right questions.

You know when your Love Life gone down the drain, when your making Love to your wife and she puts the Ash tray in the middle of your back. My mate Danny he's a bit of a Lad, spent his life in and out of prison, anyway I met him in a pub the other night, he told me he 'd just robbed a place and he had two pictures in the boot of his car, one worth £1.7 million and one worth£1.9 million, would I like to see them. Yeah Ok I said. In the car park he open's his car boot and I had a look. Danny I said you've robbed an Estate Agents. I went to the Doctor's and he asked for a stool sample, so I've enrolled in a basic woodworking class, the Doc did looked concerned when I said it will probably take a couple of months for me to produce. I'm currently studying my families history. One of my Great Great Uncles knew, the exact day he was going to die. A judge told him.

The Wife comes in after day out Hi Sweetheart Did You Miss Me ? She asked With Every Bullet So Far, I replied I went to the Headquarters of the PDSA, it's such a Tiny Place, you couldn't Swing A Cat round. If the actress Whoopi Goldberg married the Master of Horror Peter Cushing. She'd be known as Whoopi Cushing. My Wife and I were in a restaurant waiting to be served, across the way sat a woman on her own I think she was waiting for someone. Suddenly the woman Farted it was very loud and all the other customers heard it. She turned to the waiter and said Stop That. He looked at her and said Madame which way did it go? I remember the First Time I Ever Saw My Wife. She was outside a shop picking her teeth. Then she went in and Bought Them.

Thanks for your thoughts fellow Fans, there are some good points in all your replies and hopefully more Magpie followers will join the debate. Regarding Lewis and Jodi , Lewis was coming to the end of his contract (I believe) and his loan was an ideal way for him to impress at Notts. And Jodi it would seem nobody would give the lad a chance after his A.C.L. injury and such a long time out of the game, it was a stroke of genius by the Notts recruitment team, to see what a fully Fit Jodi Jones could do for Notts and Boy as it paid off Big Time. The Main thing I have against loans is the good loan players benefit Notts in the short term, while Home Grown Talent could be there for a few seasons.

Over the forty years I've been following the Magpies, the club have had some good, some bad and some indifferent loan players, and to be honest I wasn't bothered about it at first. However, over the years there have been some loan players who have pulled on a Notts Shirt and have stood out for me, namely, Jack Grealish, Callum McGregor from 2013 and Jorge Grant and Ryan Yates from 2017. I remember Grealish's home League debut, I believe it was against Tranmere Rovers (I stand to be corrected) and the only way the grizzled veteran defenders could stop this kid was to kick trip or stamp on him. However, most of the time opposition players couldn't get near him, and even at time it was clear young Jack had a big future ahead of him. Which has been proven over the following years, England International and a full Trophy Cabinet with Manchester City. Callum McGregor is another talented player who did wonders for Notts, in his loan period he netted 14 goals in all competitions. He also went on to win International Honours this time with Scotland. His Trophy Cabinet with Celtic is bursting at the seams. Jorge Grant and Ryan Yates both came from over the Trent, and both put in some excellent performances in the Black & White Stripes. When Yates was in the team it seemed to bring out the best in Grant, but when Yates was recalled to Forest it seemed to me he lost some of his spark or edge. As of 2024, Grant is at Hearts while Yates still plays for the Reds. Notts County will undoubtedly reap the benefits from these four types of loan acquisitions. The Bad comes about when players are recalled by their parent club in January as in the case of Ryan Yates. This call back to the City Ground caused Bad Blood between the Magpies and Reds. Things have been patched up(?) But (I don't think) another young Forest player has come over the Trent since. The thing for me is, are loans hindering the progress of young Notts players? There are a number of youth players out on loan, playing as it's said Men's Football. But shouldn't the Notts coaching staff be looking to bring these players into the senior squad? Do they hope to play in the first team?!? It may be disheartening for young players being continually loaned out to different clubs season after season, without really being given the chance to play for the first team. After all, I believe (and I stand to be corrected) Curtis Thompson was the last Notts player to come through the ranks and hold down a regular first team place at the Lane. And finally, of course Jodi Jones and Lewis Macari were also loan signings, but in my opinion their circumstances were different. What do you think, fellow Notts fans? What are the advantages and disadvantages of loaning a player? Notts County's head coach Stuart Maynard has given his thoughts on the upcoming game against Crewe Alexandra.

Notts must win this game. The Magpies have already lost to many matches on home soil and another defeat just wont do. If Notts do loose then in some quarters of the Notts so called fan base will want to pour more scorn on Stuart Maynard, and the more, the team looses the more the band of Anti Maynard Fans will grow. The biggest problem at Notts is over the last 18 months Magpie Fans have been used to the team winning matches, now in the world of the EFL Notts are finding out that the tactics that held them in good stead in the National league Do Not Work in League 2. Maynard is doing his best and the defence is doing better, but winning matches I'm afraid is the Be All and End All in this League.

I walked past this sign which states Murphy's Tool Works. So does mine but I don't go around Bragging about it. I knew this chap who had a little Yorkshire Terrier. He took that dog with him everywhere he even took it hand gliding with him, he'd put the dog between his knees. And you thought Bird droppings were Bad for Your Car. Police Notice. The Man who steals T Shirt in Size Order, is Still At Large. I've bough this Book called The History of Glue. I just Can't Put It Down.

My Dad's sister came over and was spinning around in circles. I thought Oh My Giddy Aunt. Sticker on the reverse of bottled water. This water comes from a Scandinavian Glacier Two Million Years Old.

Welcome welcome Truro Pie, I'm fairly new to this site as well and have been warmly welcomed by all the Notts Fans on here. Truro with that being in Cornwall I thought you'd be more interested in Pasties than Pies. HA HA.

I lost my hair when I was 16. What a Game of Cards that was. So there I was in the starting blocks for 100 metres Rice Pudding race, waiting for the starter to Say Go My mate went to the barber's and asked for some highlights , the barber gave him a video of old hair cuts. When I was young I moved into this house full of John Lennon impressionists. Imagine All The People.

So this blond goes to the Doctor's and says, It's about those Birth Control Pills you gave me. Yes what about them asks the Doc. Well replies the blond they keep falling out. Greenacres, a home for retired Gentlefolk was a boring place, until one old girl decides to liven things up by running Naked over the home's lawns. Two old chaps sitting in deck chairs watch her, the first chap says Good heavens Charles what on earth was Penelope wearing? I couldn't possibly say George, but what ever it was needed a Damn Good Ironing. People in Dubai don't like the Flintstones, but people in Abu Dhabi Do. I don't like Dolphins. Their just too Clicky for me.

Personally I think once Tiernan Brooks loan spell with Rochdale is over, he should be given a chance to stake a claim in the Notts Squad next season.

Watched the extended highlights on You Tube. Watching Didzy's so called hand ball I thought the ball hit him in the chest, so the goal should have stood, but that's football as they say. I think Didzy needs a rest, he leaves all he's got on the pitch every game, so getting Jatta up to speed is a must. Like fellow fans I was surprised that Macari didn't start he had an excellent game at Newport. Nice to see the defence starting to tighten up, but Notts still need a couple more defenders. And a Leader on the pitch, something I don't think the Magpies have had since Michael Doyle.

My God son has a new girlfriend, she has a safety pin through her eyebrow, I didn't know your eyebrow could fall off. I went to my Doctor's for a urine sample. I got 3 gallons for a quid. I met this beautiful young lady in a bar. I asked Are you a model? No I'm full scale she stated, I said you have the most amazing eyes, it fact I could live in your eyes. She replied You'd be right at home, I've got a Sty in one of them. Erik Ten Hag rings up Pep at Man City, and says We're not having as much success as you Pep what's your secret? Well says Pep in training I get Ten Dustbins with rocks in the bottom and set them up 4-3-3. Then I get my players to dribble around the dustbins, then I get them to kick a ball at the dustbins, and the balls come off at different angles and I get the players, to control the ball with both feet their heads or chests. Give it a try Erik. Anyway a month later Pep rings Erik up and asks how's your lads doing with the Dustbins. Terrible says Erik the Dustbins beat us 4-0.

I've just come across the blog Chris and when I read the title I Can See Clearly now, the first thing I thought about was the song, of the same name and I see you up loaded the song. Didn't he have another hit called There Are More Questions Than Answers, that was also the title of the Maths exam paper we got when I was at school. As this blog is from several years ago I hope you're now fully recovered and should problems arise again take comfort in your family and your friends, remember they'll always be there for you, come what may.

I once went to a Fortune teller and said I wanted my palm read. She hit with a spanner. My mates Grandson as just turned four, but he can't say please in Spanish. That's Poor for four. WARNING The owners of the local Swimming Bath have put chemicals in the water, so if a bloke has a wee the water goes dark blue and if a woman has a wee the water goes pink. I was watching this bloke and his wife swimming in the pool. It was like watching the Red Arrows. I did a shift in my mate Health Shop the other day, this bloke comes in and says Evening Primrose Oil, I said Oi it's Wheelbarrow repairman too you. I carried on stacking the lower shelves, Soya Chunk he says, Well you shouldn't have been looking I replied. I'm a Vegan he says do you know what a Vegan is? Of course I know what a Vegan is, Mr Spock was me favourite character in Star Trek, must think I'm stupid or something.

Is there anything Macca can't do? I expect to see him keeping goal sometime this season lol
-
And to think there are and I use the term loosely certain fans calling for Stuart Maynard to be sacked??? After last nights performance I think the Gaffer is slowly getting to grips with his job and getting across what he wants his players to do, which will take Time and if he tries something which doesn't work, he drops it and isn't worried about trying some new which may work.
-
Well Robbie lets hope the Owners Notts CEO the recruitment team and Stuart Maynard read the Fans Comments on this site. From what I've seen since joining PON a short time ago there's an awful lot of sense written by the Magpies faithful.

What can you say about Macca that hasn't been said many times before? During the January transfer window several clubs higher up the Football Pyramid were said to be interested in purchasing the Magpies top scorer , on several occasions one site Football League World, I think it's called it was a done deal that Macca was off to Sunderland for £1.5 million, other clubs such has Derby and I think Birmingham were also mentioned. £1.5 million is an Insult, when you see mediocre Foreign players going for anything between £6 million to £10 million and you read teams like Liverpool Chelsea or Manchester United willing to pay in the region of £40 million for untried young kids, it's Crazy. Realistically Macca for his goal scoring ability has to be worth at least £5 million, because any team in any League who buys Macca and plays to his strengths will be rewarded with a sack full of goals, the guy in my opinion is that good he is a Naturel Goal scorer. Take for example a Championship club buys Macca and he scores 15 to 20 per season for a couple of years, but that team fails to get promoted to the Premiership, they could sell him for upwards of £25 million to one of the Big Guns, so a £5 million plus add ons is a small investment for a Goal Machine like Macca Longstaff.

I think you're right Robbie in what you say regarding team choice. New players have also started to blend in to the Notts playing style. And it's great to have young Macari back in the side. One of my main worries is Jodi who is electric fast and not many defenders can live with the Guy at the moment, my fear is he may be hacked down over and over again, I just hope he as the mentality to brush these problems off and Not respond to the fouls, which will come his way, because it seems match officials won't give him the protection he should have. Like you say a point at Wrexham, would be a good result, and if Notts can go on and produce a series of Good Results over the next few matches, other teams will Start to Fear the Magpies again. C.O.Y.P.

The other evening I'm making my way home, at the top of our road the was a crowd of people standing round this figure lying on the ground. Apparently a Deliver Roo rider had been knocked off his back. Suddenly this chap starts pushing his way through the crowd, Excuse Me Excuse Me he says, move back please. Are you a Doctor ? Asked a woman in the crowd. No the bloke replied That's my Pizza. I was chatting up this Lady sprinter and people said I was trying to pull a Fast One. I went to the Binocular Shop. I'll tell you what, they saw me coming. Me and the wife had a Candle Light Supper the other night. Thanks to Eon cutting us off. I hope I make people laugh and use their chuckle muscle, because if you don't use it , it'll dry up and drop off. What is a Laugh? A Laugh is a noise that that comes out of a hole in your face. Anywhere else and you're in Dead Trouble.

My Mum and her neighbour were standing at a Bus Stop, when a well endowed naked young man ran past. My Mum had a Stroke!! But her neighbour just couldn't quite reach!! I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, when he said to me, You're an Artist aren't you? Yeah. Will you paint my girlfriend? Yeah sure send her round to my studio Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday afternoon arrives, there's a knock at the studio door, I opened it and there stood Shelly, a beautiful young Lady with long blond hair sparkling blue eyes and the figure of a Goddess. I invited her in made her a cup of Coffee and chattered about what paint I'd use acrylics for those interested. After she'd drank her coffee Shelly looked me straight in the eye and asked. Are you going to paint me in the Nude. Wow I thought then I said No, I'm going to leave my socks on, because I need somewhere to keep me brushes.
