I can see clearly now (a positive blog, I think.....)
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.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
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.

Stuart Maynard Hails Notts County's Resilience in Hard-Fought Victory
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.

Match Discussion: Game 34 - Red Dragons (A)
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.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
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.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
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.

My wife used to be a secretary, I opened my wallet now she's a treasurer. My wife is very good with money, we do with a lot of things I don't need. But the other week she bought me a really nice second hand jacket,, not second hand but seconds you the type of thing, there's something slightly wrong with it. The only thing I could find wrong with the jacket was one of the sleeves, was slightly longer than the other two. Have you ever noticed the different way a Man and a Woman look at marriage? To a woman it's the Happiest Day of her life she arranges everything, she gets her Bridesmaids ugly Dresses while she looks amazing in her Wedding Dress and she has her ring. While a Bloke, well more his friends treat it like he's been Diagnosed with something. Did you hear about Charles? No what's up? He's getting married. NO I only saw he a couple of weeks ago, when did he find out? She told him the other evening over dinner. Is there anything we can do? No Nothing the invitations have already gone out. I'll get my coat.

Match Discussion: Game 33 - The Exiles (A)
Well I think I'd like a big dollop of custard with my Piece of Humble Pie. This certainly wasn't a result I was expecting, certainly not after Newport had won their last four games, but our New Gaffer as shown he's not afraid to make changes and tighten things up at the back. Watching the goals all were taken well, and what prey can you say about Jodi Jones the lad's on Fire at the moment and there's not many defenders can stop him, perhaps only by hacking him down. Glad to see both Macca and Didzy back among the goals. Hollywood FC will be a different ball game come Saturday, but if the Magpies can put in the same type of performance, I feel the lads do have a chance of getting some sort of result. Lets hope so. YOU PIES.

Nice to see Maynard swapping things about and not being afraid to give Notts a different look. Just hope we get something for his Bravery. C.O.Y.P.

One Last Thing Notts Regarding this evening match. Data doesn't win Football Matches Goals do, the Magpies can have 99.9% possession but if the other team have one more goal than the Magpies, then they get the 3 points.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
So I said to my mate Dave, I'm going to open a theatre. Are you having me on he asked. I said well I give you an audition, but I can't promise you anything. There was a fourteen foot Anaconda hanging out of my letter box this morning. I reckon there was a mix up at Amazon. I love Fun fair food, candy floss toffee apples and those boil in the bag Gold Fish. I went into a Jewellers and said I'd like to buy a watch please, the Assistant said Analogue? No just the watch. I had a dream the other night, I was was cutting carrots with the Grim Reaper. Dicing with Death. W.W.W. Conjunctivitis. com. There's a site for sore eyes. You know when your half way through eating a horse, do you ever think, Maybe I wasn't as hungry as I first thought I was. I'm here all week. With Apologies to anyone who as already told any of the above jokes.

It will be a tough match and if Notts get something out of it then that will be something for the Magpies to build on. Hand on heart 2-0 Newport. Reading fellow Fans comments I think they are right that certain players need to be rested and the formation needs to be changed around. I don't think Macca should be left up front on his own, maybe give Junior an outing along side him. It's about time the on loan keeper is is given a game, I'm sorry I don't like to single out players but Stone does worry me, he's made a couple of good saves in recent matches, but overall I'd sooner have someone else between the sticks. Notts need to get back to winning ways and get out of this slump, but unfortunately I can't see it happening in the next couple of matches.

Match Discussion: Game 32 - The Gills (H)
Watching last nights Abysmal Performance shows that Notts might end up struggling for the rest of the season, after today's results the Magpies are now 10th and the next two away matches it doesn't look like Notts will pick up any points. Newport won 3-0 away from home and Wrexham even though they were beaten today, I can't see Notts repeating that result. Lets face facts this type of possession football is Not the way forward for the Magpies everything needs to change, Fair enough it worked in the National League because a vast majority of the clubs in that League are semi professional at best. Notts are now being found out and results are affecting the confidence of the whole squad, it needs sorting out NOW, but it won't be Stuart Maynard will battle on till the end of the season employing the same game tactics and if the recent Notts results continue, how long before Fans start screaming for him to go? I can also see at least two of the present Notts first team leaving, Macca and Jodi Jones in the close season and maybe Dan Crowley will join them. So the club is going to face a massive upheaval before the start of the 2024/2025 season. This might sound negative to fellow Notts Fans on this platform, but it's the way I feel truly I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
