We look most frail in the AM roles which I'm sure is priority to this summer. Roberts will be a squad player as I believe Grant will be if he's not moved on. I can't see Jones play there as it was tried and ultimately classed as a failure early last season. Optimistic though, strong start so far.

Well I'm off to it using the pretext of missing the playoffs and needing my Notts fix. Just no-one mention to my partner about the many great coffee shops, bakeries and a nice beach jaunt if the weather is nice...

Haha that's all I've heard/read so far. I think it'll be a couple of "mutual terminations" next week, and then the fun can really begin!

Quite similar to when we signed Bishop, Ravenhill and Davies who were all the majority players (and captains) of respective clubs.

I've been thinking of going to Aarhus for a little while so I'll have to give this a look. Hopefully timings and cost work in my favour.

In terms of rumours, apparently we're in talks with Max Sanders from Crewe.

From a Cambridge fan "Gibbo is a good signing for Notts. We would've kept him but he wanted to move closer to home for his young kids. Played most of his earlier career as a FB but excelled with us last few months as a wide CB, overlapping and getting I think 6 goals and 6 assists. Last season was by far his best with us - he struggled a bit at times in league one but was still a useful back up even then. All Cambridge fans will wish him well I'm sure."

Abbott is still 20 as well and won't count to the registration numbers. If they're willing to give him another shot at League 1, we'll be front of the queue. Spurs have a couple who we could continue our great lineage of loans. Akhamrich who bagged 6 in 19 for Brizzle Rovers is a similar player to Luker, Olusesi looks to be a very good creative midfielder, Matthew Craig who got some decent Notts lineage (grandad is Ron Still) and is a Scotland under 21 and lastly Melia who's got a ROI cap and experience at St Patricks.

Personally, I've got a hankering for Issac Hutchinson (Brizzle Rovers), Ryan Glover (Barnet) and Tyreece John Jules (Kilmarnock).

I'm so looking forward to it. 10 years ago, Leicester were Premier League champions, now we'll play them in the league. I think the bro's will be excited about the prospect as they did when we went up to League 2 and they really went all out. Top half finish for me Clive.

I'd suspect it'll be a League 2 team, offering him a starting position at somewhere like Crewe/Grimsby/Chesterfield. I don't think he perfectly maps into our gameplan, and as much as I thought I wouldn't say this, but given that he's gonna be a squad/bench player, I'd much see that given to Grant, given what he offers in pressing/gameplans.

I'd give both Platt and Rod a year extension. Platt can go out on loan if he doesn't perform. If we go down, at least we could tie him up for a season in league 2. Tsaroulla I'd give an extra year and extend Norburn as well. Hinchy, Grant, Roos, Bennetts and Maz I'd respectfully release and I wouldn't sign Tangen. Enoru and Griffiths I'd loan out. Traore will almost definitely be sold as well. Main priority is those AM spots and obviously I'd love to see Luker and Iorpenda back, so that's imperitive. Also depends what happens to Jatta as his price will be premium and we're likely to get above a mil for him. If that happens I'd be straight in for John-Jules at Kilmarnock and ask if they'd take Roos as part-exchange.

I think it's 50/50 for me personally. We're a very dogged team that MP has got firing when we think we're onto a loss, but injuries are likely to slow momentum at any given time. Say if Belshaw gets injured (as is the epidemic across League 2), it could be catastrophic. I'm dying to see Palmer, Jatta and Luker back, but seemingly from what Patto says, we're not gonna know for a while which I think could invigorate us. I did like Bennetts and Tangen last match and I'd love them to play where Grant and Hall play because, and I'll try to be nice, they're a total detriment to scoring. I'm obviously vying for a automatic prom because I've gone and booked a hol over the playoff dates 😅

See you in August guys ;)

I mean he loved his time here, I think if we were in League One, it'd be nailed on, but alas. I think he'll get the offers from all over, Peterborough, Eredivisie, MLS, Liga Nos midtablers. (and just to add, his agents/management company is based in Netherlands). However, if he's still out of contract say by Feb, a cheeky 18 month contract surely could be an option.

I thought that too with his celebration. If Jatta does go, it wouldn't be a suprise if we got another 10/9 hybrid. Jatta would, I think, justify a big fee. 800k or more to be precise.

It's not a marquee signing, but one that could provide we have different game plans and allows us to rest players in matches leading up to the crunch part of the season. I don't know what this takes us up to in terms of registered players, but personally, I'd like to see one more AM brought in.

Well he's gone to Sligo Rovers.

Barnsley are laughing at us at this point. Taking Didzy, loaning us Cotter and not picking up the phone when we'd like to return him without a receipt.

Jalal Abdullai from Elfsborg is doing the rounds. Farfetched imo, also quite a similar player to Jatta - who's been mentioned quite a bit about going to Bradford.

He's their number one, the guy playing today has played 3 games this season. It's more likely he's not playing because he's already singing for us but waiting on the club to get a replacement in.

Beck-Ray Enoru from Tamworth is doing the rounds. Rapid and direct, but still a bit raw. Strangely a left sided attacking player and might suggest a change in formation if we do sign him?

Not the recalling I was hoping for but https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tottenham-hotspur-consider-recalling-tyrese-175500869.html

Happy to see him in. Obviously doesn't count towards the senior team registration places and with Rodders and Platt expiring in the summer, gives us time (like Jatta) to bed him in and get him up to speed.

I mean its gonna be a stop gap and is likely to instill a confidence in the defence that he can catch a cross. I think it's a win win really. If Notts get Belshaw, he's likely number 1 until we get a new keeper if we go up - kind of how Slocombe panned out. If Notts get a loan, say the Palace lad Goodman, we'll have a keeper who got Wimbledon promoted for the latter half of the season and significantly increases our chances of doing the same.
