I do think that there's gonna be a shift or an exodus of loans at some point. Macari, Palmer and Enoru (who i completely forget is here) look likely to never appear this season.

they stop the season now and I'd be satisfied. we've found the winning formula with campbell and acquah looking like they'll come in and compete soon. i do think that we do need a better bench forward than Ndlovu. Acquah should be that replacement we'd need when Smythe gets tired.

Guy Branston, terrible player, even worse head of transfers or whatever he was. I had a hatred for Garry Thompson for being utterly useless. I didn't enjoy Alan Smith whilst he was here as he was immobile, but that's not his fault, more the manager who played him. People tend to say Caskey is the worst, mainly because he just didn't use the obvious talent he had. For me, because he's just a horrid human, it goes to Tom Williams.

Back four of Ness, Rod, Bedeau and storm boelo should keep them at bay!

As much as it pains me to say, I think Roberts looked poor again and doesn't offer as much as Grant does in this sort of set up

Finneran for me Clive. Delightful under pressure, him and Robbo are a great combination. A young Frenkie De Jong.

The Altrincham game will be a fomer Notts XI vs Notts County. The have Hinchy, Tom Crawford, Kristian Dennis, Kane Hemmings and Jimmy Knowles. FC United players include Adam Le Fondre and Andre Wisdom.

I think this is now the beginning of the pressure for ol' Patto. He's getting jumpy in terms of becoming more defensive, less press orientated and trying different players. We need to stick to a team because without it, players become uncommon with player relationships, bad players relationships lead to errors and errors lead to defeats. I wonder if League 1 is a bit of a sensitive scar for Patto? Although I can't see it, we need something out of these next three games or there will be a calling for Martin's head - especially when someone so revered and known for their attacking, creative style at Notts, waits in the wings and unattached.

I think we'll see Beck Ray, Platt and Macari omitted.

Platt was sat behind me in Pavis yesterday and looks to be in good condition. From what I understand he's in rehabilitation training now which is nearish the end of his injury process.

More rumouring in the mill - Donnell McNeilly and/or Grady McDonnell apparently linked from Forest. Also Rory Finneran from Newcastle. Suggests that Robbo is out given the need for a DM in Finneran/McDonnell...

Very good prospect, really like the vibe of a rapid, nimble, athletic striker. Contract expires next summer, so maybe there's potential there for a big Jan signing full of incentives if he performs well. Talking of athletic strikers, Iwunze does fit the bill of someone if personally give a chance to if this fails.

Rumour is Robbo now injured.

I mean, I get it. To play in a Paterson team, we have to be hard, physical and well drilled. But at the same time we're getting decimated from injuries during training. Jatta and Jones had sizeable chunks out of last season, and now Sanders, Acquah and Campbell are all out via training injuries with two games gone... feels like we can do something more with physio's or match conditioners. I'm sure we already have these at the club, but when they made a big song and dance about Dr Rhodes joining and then he left, we've not heard to much about that side of it at the club.

I think Grant was a part exchange for Nemane.
