very exciting prospect i feel, he looked keen to get the ball and i felt he used what time he had on it well. think with time and confidence he will settle in well, but what a difference he is compared to will patching who seemed more comfortable just to be on the pitch rather than influencing the proceedings. very happy by his performances so far!

i thought he had found a club a bit higher up when i first read that he had left, i dont blame him for leaving but anyone in football knows macclesfield are struggling financially so it just baffles you as to why he took on the job in the first place. most inexperienced managers want to progress and learn, he could afford to do that.

when solihull moors plays us, can we all take some of these wafers to give to their supporters? this would be funny as hell.

if notts can beat wrexham on sunday, it can turn the season around and breed a bit of confidence into the squad. it seems we are adapting and the arrival of booty seems to give notts a bit of grit in the middle of the park. im not suggesting we will win every game, i just think the positives are there if we can build on this good result against harrogate. what do you think?

thank you.

wrexham are another good side in this league, think they will play like newport and attempt to slow down the game where possible. i hope notts start with two strikers, this is key right now. hope dennis is fired up to bag him another goal or two.

i think all players have to have some form of spark or potential. man city would not have kept him around if they did not think this, and i think prem sides understand that players devolope at different ages hence why they hold onto some that they have hopes for. issue with will patching for me was his average attitude to being a professional footballer. i never saw a sign of drive or self determine from him, releasing him might get this back and allow him to kick on. he really does need to be playing.

massive result, pleased to see the players silence those banging on about jon stead still being good enough for us. move on! get behind the win and lets try to build from here.

think making meadow lane a fortress stems from the club wanting it, if they focused on building the pre match atmosphere and got the big flag out in the kop. it would make such a big difference, start with a roar and get the players to settle in and around the noise. i honestly feel the indifference might be unsettling to the players.

there will be ups and downs, the moaning about the opening results for me can be taken down to the fact that we had such a stressful pre-season. this will come into, yet the club could manage some of this by avoiding expectations and attempting to get us on side [rather than going quiet].

just another striker now, hopefully with a decent amount of pace.
