is he 82 or 83? a lot of articles are saying hes 83, which is an insane age. i have read how he has been let go from his ambassador role. i dont see that as being an issue, but at his age anything could cause issues with being the manager. i dont mean just the possibility of his death happening whilst in charge. that could happen to any manager right now, but will he want to handle training in the cold? risk his own health at such a crucial stage of his life. i dont believe he will go back to managing united, supposedly hes disappointed to have lost his ambassador role.

i am all for giving thomas tuchel a fair chance and i think from the front runners, he is probably the best name amongst them. lee carsley was never going to be given the job on a full time basis, i dont know why the fa would overlook him but they seem again intent in bringing in a manager that is not english. much like they did when they appointed sven. its them i have an issue with, not tuchel as i believe he is a good manager with young players.

i think even without brexit, scottish teams may struggle to retain their better young talent. a lot of them were poached prior to it, but it might be more likely that premier league teams do look north. we are guilty of overlooking out own home grown talent, suffocating their potential for the belief that you can only find world class players overseas. it all comes down to ability and potential, i believe most really good players have the ability of being class. i think if callum mcgregor had left celtic, he would have reached higher achievements despite him doing well with the club he loves. personally, i think its better that young foreign players are harder to sign now. it should be a good thing for england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. as younger players should be getting more of a chance, those outside the uk should reach their potential and most likely would be able to be signed once they are of a better age so i dont see that as an issue. being able to fill english academies with so many players from other nations, i think is worse. chelsea having been recently spoken about for failing to make world class talent count with jose mourinho. you might say it makes the playing field more fairer for uk based players.

i think its more the club wanting to make sure he makes the first team and therefore is insisting to play him in midfield, he can do well but he needs time after his injury. i dont fault his workrate, hes always working hard. i just dont see him as a midfielder as much, i think he should be played more as a striker. there is the chance he could do a similar role to david mcgoldrick but i dont think persisting with him being a midfielder is all that beneficial to him. the first part of last season in league two, he was brilliant. he must feel a bit lost without macaulay langstaff, they have been a duo for awhile and being played out of position, it must add to missing his former teammate.

i think both teams was not quite the best defensively at times, our goal is poor to concede from the chesterfield point of view but from ours a well worked goal. the opener was a fluky deflection, i dont even think paddy madden knew much about it. of course, he will probably say he flicked it on but it landed very fortunate for him to finish. its a shame alex bass had committed himself but i dont blame him. either team could have won, but i do think a draw was fair and chesterfield will feel they threw it away which they did. their fans on facebook are calling us a dirty team, i have seen @Dans pictures and the other photographer, i was at the game and rewatched the highlights. i dont think we were the dirty team, unlike them at times. the amount of times they were grabbing shirts to the point they could have put it on themselves.

good result, it looked like it was played on a training pitch or school's 4g pitch. which can be different and harder. glad we won.

watch it be somewhere like york city, which would not be the worst draw but i would hope to avoid chesterfield.

not aimed at any one here, but i wished people would shut up about lee carsley. he has tried to experiment whilst in the role, i dont think you can instantly judge a new manager, especially an international one. i hope we go for someone english, because most likely they will understand how to get our nation playing good football. i wonder if now people dont like carsley, they regret being on gareth southgates back. ????

looks like a typewriter. ???? it makes you thankful for the way sky sports news and soccer saturday does it now.

the issue is how thin it would leave us up top if one or both were to become injured, its a difficult thing with only three strikers on the books. i would not be against seeing cedwyn scott and jevani brown played as a striker more, scott could be a good goalscorer for us if we did play him there and that would open up the possibility of jatta and david mcgoldrick featuring more from the start together. i think it highlights how we actually still do need a replacement for macaulay langstaff, yes we have people who can score but we need a different option up top. if we had to depth and quality, i would love to see the pair start more games.

i thought stuart maynard did quite well, i think we as fans can see how good didzy and jatta work together, the issue is the limited options we have up top. i know we have brown, but he does not seem to be favoured to start or complete a full game. other than that, i think it does make sense, as myanrd says we need to keep mcgoldrick sharp as that is when he plays his best football. its good to have both of them back for this game, no doubt mcgoldrick would be a key figure for it.

it goes to show how important jatta and mcgoldrick are to our team. both were big parts in us coming back into todays game against chesterfield.

good game, a natural would have enjoyed it. i think we did okay, their first goal was just a fluke with how the ball bounced for paddy madden. thought we looked better out wide, but it was good to see crowley having goes from distant.

i would hope the players can forget about how important the game is in terms of rivalry and just play to get the win. its great to have matt palmer back and we had missed his absence last season, but i think now hes back its exciting to see him lead the team as the captain. i hope he can inspire the lads to remain calm as he tends to be, as nothing ever seems to effect palmer, hes a good player for us.

hello, @Richard Eley. welcome to pon. i hope you will join in with the site and community when you can. why not tell us a little bit about yourself?

hello, welcome to pon @DistantBard24. we would love to know a little about yourself.

welcome to pon, @Colcard. its nice to be welcoming you to our community.

we really need to see how we start and what chesterfield look like, it might end up a goalless draw and that would not surprise me. i would feel a lot more encouraged if we had jodi jones up for selection, but i do think provided the players work hard together that the likes of kellan gordon and nick tsaroulla could be a handful. i just wished we played into space a bit more, its good to use the wider areas but the middle opens up the play and we just seem to do one or the other. i would like to see us attack chestefield with real intent.

i think jatta will score a good amount of goals, but i would be careful of hyping him because some of these people who say he will get 20 goals or that he is the best goal scorer we have will soon turn on him. i know every fan base has these but we have too many imo.

brilliant pictures, @Chris. i did see you walking up the upper kop steps and then take a seat, before taking some pictures. its really good to see the faces of pon, so many wonderful photos.

i think stuart maynard needs to try to avoid being one of those managers that complains when results does not go his way, we lacked the clinicalness up front and even if their goal was offside. he had the time to change it, but throwing robbie cundy up top as a striker shows how we do need a striker but then we allow junior morias to go out and fail to give jevani brown a try up top. i thought we did play well in spells going forward, but their goal reminded me so much of last season. alex bass could not have done anything about it.

i thought notts were the better team, but it was a repeat of gillingham where we just did not create a good enough chance to get back into it this time round. we had something more about us against gillingham, but there was not enough quality on goal. its not the end of the world, we can regroup but the results at meadow lane need to improve and notts must play teams like port vale/gillingham in a way where we can get more efforts on goal.

its another test but we need to put the disappointment of gillingham and use the returning players to maximise our chances of getting back to winning ways at meadow lane. i hope we can control the game and make port vale have to work for everything.
