its going to be interesting to see if stuart maynard does make any changes, because his style has been spoken about as being similar which made him seem the most logical replacement for luke williams. he might opt for something a bit different with our players, as each squad is different and have strengths in different areas but i do think its unlikely that he will change much.

today its just been a bit cold and breezy but nothing like it has been. the weather forecast sometimes just scaremongers because they people read negative things, if we do get hit by a bad storm, i really hope people stay safe.

i dont think for a second notts would not want the game to go ahead, our ground staff would have tried their best and the decision is down to the officials. i am more disappointed by the reactions on the official clubs facebook page. its been called off, accept it and dont seek blame.

jim can relax and focus on returning to his playing role but i am thankful for what he and the two helping hands from weal and the other coach. they did us proud. as for the comments here, i think it shows how sensible jim o brien is.

i like kyle cameron and i hope he finds good form under stuart maynard, i think he just needs to priories defending a bit more but the focus is the main thing. hes also right that we need to defend better as a team, i would love to see us have a desire to win the ball back as quickly as possible and go on to use it well. notts will be fine, i know it.

i am all the more excited about saturday, whilst we can not read too much into it, it will just be interesting to see what stuart maynard will do with the lineup and if anything will change. it will be brave to make a lot of changes to the tactics, but then our squad should be robust enough to cope with a new way or system.

its pleasing and i hope we can now just focus on a achieving the best position that is possible. stuart maynard sounds like a decent appointment and for a club of our size, it's nice to avoid the trap of hiring someone that has the reputation but maybe not heart for a lower tier team. i think maynard will repay our decision to give him a chance at this level.

its going to be just as tough as it was at their ground, i think any good results would be a massive boost. i would also say a point would be a decent out come, obviously i hope for more but the main thing is to come away undefeated. stockport will fancy their chances and i can see them being harder as the game starts, i hope we can grow into the game.

no, i would not know how to do anything worth sharing. ????

andy murray has gone down hill a lot with his performance, i dont follow a lot of tennis but i used to like watching murray. last time i did he was very predictable and very much outplayed.

i know, it might come across as i am expecting it but i want to say i am more hopeful that we can secure back to back wins. it would go along way to u turning the poor form we found, whilst giving everyone something less to worry about. i think morecambe will want to make a game of it but i have the faith that if we perform well enough a good result will come. try to avoid changes where possible, yes some of the players may be tired from the boxing day game but i think we have more than enough within the squad to rely less on what we have on the bench. consistency right now could be the thing to bring better form within the new year.

far better performance and something to be happy with, stockport are a good team and we played a decent game. its a shame we could not get anything from the game. i felt a bit frustrated by the way we gave the second goal, not so much cameron but tobi losing the ball rather clumsy.

we are playing better, a bit more thought needs to go into our decisions on goal but its good to see macaulay langstaff more involved with the ball. it gives him so much more to do. despite the better performance, the goal we allowed to go in was a major switching off moment and its disappointing. i am pleased with how we have responded since though.

this signing was a masterstroke and he very much fired us to the football league, with such a talented squad behind him but without his goals some of the games may have been different. i was not sure we would be able to replace kyle wootton, i felt very disappointed he left but macaulay langstaff and cedwyn scott have been such a breath of fresh air. i do hope to see them partner each other on the field a lot more once cedwyn is injury free.

having seen macaualay langstaffs interview i feel a bit more encouraged, he works so effortlessly and does not give up. we need to get back to playing in a way that turns the opposition defence inside out. i would love to see us perform well, slowing the passes down just enough to give us the edge. if the players work as hard as langstaff there is no reason why we cant. some stockport fans feel anxious about playing us, so it should be a great game.

i really love how luke williams thinks about things and his whole approach to management, he thinks everything through like a real leader does and quite fairly he holds his own hands up. i think he has done very well to guide us to 6th place and i just hope we can spark our exciting form to maintain this. what williams says is very true!

my dad would love this, well he would but at the same time he would find plenty to moan about. i might try to get it. sorted! thanks amazon, next day delivery. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Terrible-Maps-stupidly-illustrated-geography/dp/0008641595/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1CO3ZYJJ2ZU38&keywords=Terrible+map&qid=1703255264&sprefix=terrible+map%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1 also picked this one up. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brilliant-Maps-Atlas-Curious-Minds/dp/1846276632/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1CO3ZYJJ2ZU38&keywords=Terrible+map&qid=1703255264&sprefix=terrible+map%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-2

we have seen a lot of improvements from macaulay langstaff, i remember reading the tweets and comments on social media where some fans did not believe he was good enough. i dont think it was ever a question but we need to get back to being creative and relentless with our attacks because macca thrives on that and then it creates a buzz.

similar to @Joshua, i want us to snap out of this feeling sorry for ourselves. notts needs to regroup and forget the previous fixtures, with christmas coming up we need to make every effort towards making it an enjoyable time. if we lose tomorrow, so be it but lets come back stronger and more determined.

it took some time for him to feature, i like that luke williams wanted to bring him up to speed but now hes ours. we have all the more reason to be playing him, its the way he will improve and be able to contribute more towards notts. i think its a good signing and once he's back available, i hope to see him in the starting lineup. hopefully, he will score a few more goals before the season ends but his debut goal was a screamer!

its going to be interesting to see how we do against a team in far better form. a good result could give us no end of confidence but on the other hand, a heavy defeat could cause further complications. i dont expect to win, so i think i would take a draw. hopefully the players are feeling more ambitious as our away games seems unlikely to see where the next win will come.

how he lost his voice is clear that the players are not listening, but its concerning because it looks like luke williams is running out of things to try. i just hope we can pick up and focus on becoming stronger in the new year. its difficult for sure.

i dont really care about him because the moment ian burhcnall failed at fgr, michael doyle was back at notts. hes pretty much shown no loyality to pompey by taking the woking job. i would understand more if it was a bigger or a former club but woking? if he can make it until the end of the season without being sacked it will be a good thing for him. he should do well as a manager provided he sticks and learns with a club, instead of always on the move.

i dont believe in plan bs, i just think that whatever we try right now it wont make much difference until we see committment made at the back and that possibly starts with not playing players as cbs when they are not. we were poor today, this spell hit us earlier in the season i would be worried about relegation. we have gone from being reasonably ok, to awkward, to extremely poor. fix the defence and we should improve.

i hate that my previous post sounded negative but i could sense this, luke has a massive uphill battle and i dont see how we can get back into the game without conceding a third. the reason most fans are disappointed is because we are better but everyone keeps making the same mistakes and there is nothing learned. richard brindley can work but hes better with two recognised centre backs imo. the first goal was bad, but it put us on the wrong foot to begin with and it lead to the second. its quite poor to think we are so easily gifting games to our opposition.
