if you manage to stay on as a contracted employee, they give you training every year and the longer you are with them the more advanced it gets. i am quite familiar with my line managers role and his bosses duties, so i think the training is very useful because its another level but it does not mean i will be advancing any time soon. still i am grateful to be receiving it. thank you, michael. it is a good thing to be able to have the training to move forward if that opportunity presents itself. again, thank you. i noticed chris walking to his seat from the steps near the chip van but i did not get to speak to him either. i dont think he would want anyone to be concerned but it is understandable. i think chris will know that a lot of the community cares, but i am sure if he noticed messages like this and from tony that it would make him feel well supported. negativity can be difficult, but i dont think this season has been any more or less than previous years. i just hope that he manages to start to find a way to cope with his pain because it sounds like it makes everything else a lot worse.

i am not adding this to be negative but i thought straight away, here is the new junior morias. i hope lee ndilovu gets more of a chance but i dont see the arrival as a big fuss. yes, i would rather notts have a third striker because it costs us when we lose alassana jatta or matt dennis but i dont see how paying for a striker that does not have a good pedigree at professional level after allowing someone who seems quite similar to go for free after not playing them. ndilovu looked a bit short for me and one of the floating reasons morias was suggested to be out of favour was due to that, some fans near where i sat suggested hes fast but morias was like lightening when he found his stride. morias and lewis knight are two of the fastest players i have ever seen. tho i admit, pace and height means nothing when a players got a natural instinct of following the game and putting goals away. i would hope that our quality makes it easier, but his goal ratio hardly is impressive. we just have to hope we play him and he does do well for us. thats what i hope for, and i hope again we dont have another player who is wasted.

nick tsaroulla would be my man of the match and he gets my vote, i am surprised nobody else has really voted for him. i laughed when ollie norburn was voted as the official man of the match because i thought he was pretty average. tom iorpenda was good, so i understand why he is popular in the votes but i dont think he was all the good defensive. much better going forward but even then he made some poor decisions. tsaroulla for me was far more consistent, i thought norburn and jodi jones were quite poor by their own standard.

you make sure that you do keep warm and feeling well, i am sure granny pie would be waiting to hit you with her walking sticks if you did not listen. i am glad you are keeping warm.

suffering from a lot of pain he said. it was only a short catch up, but it did make me want to come on pon to get back involved. i cant say much really, i think i just caught him at the right time.

i miss you all too, i have never been accepted like i have here and its held me grow as an individual. 👍

i am happy and i do acknowledge that when we have seen him in goal against us, that he always does well in goal but i did feel it was a bit of a "please the fans signings" and that makes me nervous because we have had chances of signing him before. it makes me wonder why now? i feel for roos a bit, he is just prone to eccentricity. in the ideal world we would still have him competing and pushing belshaw to retain his space but i think the loan releases wages. perhaps roos is on a chunk we cant afford to have him in this situation. it is nice to see more confident when teams attack, and that fans are fully behind belshaw. i think its a sensible signing, but i would add we should not settle and strengthen this area next season. not to replace belshaw but so we have two capable first team keepers, with griffiths being able to gain experience.

i have been focusing on work which is why i have been absent, i am training to be a facility manager at my depo and work. i have been working away from nottingham for the majority of the new year because of this training. i miss the community, so i reached out to chris and its nice to hear from him. i need to reach out to other members because the time i have been away i do feel disconnected. i have not long got home from work, what was like a 10-15 minute drive is more like an hour there and back. longer drives especially at night tends to make me sleeping. i hope everyone is okay, and that you all feel better for those suffering from illness.

i think its interesting to see how notts responds to going from weekend, to week day games and then not playing for awhile. our last win was very important, because it did look like we had lost that spark we grew and it does show how much the players are putting in even when games are not going our way. routine is very important, as is form and that brings out the confidence to win. hopefully, we start to see the difference that the new signings bring to the club and that we can push on. i have no doubt that crewe will be looking to play, and to make things difficult on the pitch.

carl regan anyone remember his loan stay with us?

biggest for me was how we the fans stayed behind the players and it felt like we were with them in spirit, our support is generally very good away from home but this match most games from when we gained promotion. we felt united together and it made the will all the more special. the lads did brilliantly to shut up the shop and sneak the win. we did not deserve it, and it reminded me of how some teams have been lucky against us but its nice that we are on that side for a change.

he is also very frustrating with his simulation efforts and getting in the faces of the opposition, i would not want him to do that for notts but otherwise he did look a very capable player.

it makes you think we should have just let him stay with dagenham the season we gained promotion, he was a big player for them and it looked like we had made a good signing but for whatever reason we just did not play him. i hope we did not do it to hurt dagenham in reaching the playoffs. his career seems to have suffered due to signing for us, but he is a good goal scorer.

i thought both teams did well, mk dons might feel unlucky but we share a lot in common with them. i think the pressure makes our defence switch off, and i feel the same way about mk dons. they are a dirty group of players, who seemed to enjoy being rough in stages where they tried to manage the game and break up our momentum but they did play some good football. their first two goals, those could have really punished us, and i think matthew dennis strike is the get of jail card we needed. as it came from nowhere, and even tho they went back in the lead. it showed us we could score, and they made a similar blunder by allowing jatta in. the game would have felt a natural draw, but to sneak the win does feel all the more satisfying. tom iorpend was unlucky to hit the post earlier in the game and to see him win it for us in the dying minutes, well it makes one of those match days where you feel lucky and over the moon to have all 3 points.
