i am inclined to agree, @Piethagoram as been calling for it and i think it does make a lot of sense now. he might also improve the defence which is something mentioned also. hopefully he continues to do well at rochdale and we dont get blind sighted. my concern is that if he does well, they or another club may want to sign him. the temptation of playing first team football must be strong and we should start giving him a chance once he comes back from his loan.

the leading actor is the nutter from happy valley? i will give this a watch when i have the time to commit. if anyone thinks about googling the film title, don't just go here https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m001k3tw/mr-jones there are so many other similar named films. from the description it sounds very interesting.

@Robbie i felt the same, as i mentioned when you joined i am on the autistic spectrum and have found making friends difficult. i have here and its great to see new members come on board. i wished more fans would be open minded, dabble in the conversations for a week or two and just give it a proper chance. there is plenty of room for social media but pon is very much more notts county.

i am pleased for stuart maynard, i feel certain that this will be the boost all needed. its been awhile since we last won away from home and that probably crept in at our home games with everything else going on. macaulay langstaff was great, getting him more involved will lead to chances. very happy to see how we have responded after the Gillingham defeat.

wrexham are a difficult team and are in good form, but they do have a habit of conceding goals too. defensively, notts needs to be strong if we are to see the game out. i dont question that we have the ability to score, but out scoring wrexham at the cost of poor defending seems unlikely. personally right now i think it might be a 1-1 draw, i would be happy with it.

by far the best performance notts has showed for awhile, even before macaualay langstaff scored we looked more organised and a threat going forward. i could not make out what happened with the penalty, but i agree with stuart maynard that it was misfortunate for us because we defended very well. there was times it needed to be a bit better, but it was never at the cost of newport looking like they would score from open play. i thought luca ashby hammond did well when needed. the tactics did make a difference with maynard tweaking things, newport did not react to it and it was just a good win. it felt like it was more of a step forward than just a win for a new manager. it gave hope and with our away form being so poor, at least we might improve on it.

@Piethagoram i do think signing a striker for that amount of money could have been used to bring in more quality in much needed areas but i dont think we can write off alassana jatta. i do think his height may be a blessing, but again, the money could have been better spent.

i can understand the frustration because it was poor to see how we performed after taking the lead, i would not say we settled for that goal but it was like we went through the motion of having scored to concede and then being afraid to go again. gillingham did well, they knew where we was weak and the first two goals show how teams are noticing the aerial threat. as a team we do need to mark better and try to win the ball back once we have lost it, we can pass around and have large amounts of possession but when we concede due to not pressuring the opposition it does make it more frustrating as a supporter. i am glad fans decided to leave, without venting their frustration after the game. there may have been some who did, but i heard no booing and no offensive comments.

tough game but I thought we handled them well at their ground, i am hoping to see a spirited performance where we cause gillingham nothing but problems. i dont think it will be easy but its our best chance to get off to winning ways under stuart maynard. the home advantage needs to work in our favour, i have been a bit disappointed as of late with the amount of noise generated and i know we can do better. i hope the players make an impact that helps encourage our support, it could be a big difference to the outcome.

what is artistic swimming when its at home? oh, its another way of saying synchronized swimming. i wished they just named it that. well done to the duo for winning silver.

i fear mansfield, i am more optimistic about wrexham as we can control them better. mansfield at meadow lane just overloaded us and i think at their ground they will do the same again. i would be happy with a point. not that a win would not be great, it would but i dont have that expectation. a smash and grab against mansfield would be very pleasing.

i absolutely agree with you @TheSkipper, its very early days and we cant read to much into the barrow game but defensively we did look better. it will take time but i think maynard is a good fit and if we can help him settle in quicker, i think the results will come. away from home will be his biggest test but i am happy with the appointment.

what nations own antarctica? funny image, i bet some people younger than would have wondered why there are no markings or stations listed. ????

a pun and a joke.

barrow did look more brighter on the ball than we did, how we managed to stay in the game with some of the chances they created i dont know. nobody should be bashing stone though, he was great. it took quite a while before notts started to pick up, but once we did they looked a lot better. it was weird seeing someone much smaller than john bostock giving him such an hard time. i think bostock had one of his worst games, with his passing and falling to the ground. defensively he did well but we missed his energy and involvement in playing further up. i agree with @Chris, barrow were average but at the same time we lacked creativity. it had a draw all over it.

some managers come into a club that is doing well and quickly want to change everything the previous manager did and i think its great to see that stuart maynard acknowledges that he does not have so much to do but take the reigns and slowly bring in what needs to be done. if he can improve the defence, then we should be able to start signing eieieieio

i think its a game that we cant read to much into with regards to stuart mayard too. hes had time to instruct the players but to flush out any mistakes will take time, even if the performance is perfect by notts on saturday we should still be mindful. i am sure maynard will be a fantastic appointment but the next few games will say more about the squad than it would about him as our head coach. i am hoping that we dont change to much, i dont think there is the need for that. i am hoping jaden warner starts. it would be nice to see him. i think the rest of the squad picks itself and i think maynard may go with sam slocombe in goal if he is fit.

baj was looking good prior to his injury, i thought he looked like he could make the centre back position his own and then the injury happened. i did not think cedwyn scotts injury looked that bad initially but i am glad both players are recovering well. i think cedwyn scott and matt palmer were very two players we have missed.

is nottingham rockets the twentytwenty team? i prefer the shorter overs. not the biggest cricket fan tho.

i think it was @Piethagoram who shared the video of jaden warners debut. it was a very good performance from him and i am a little surprised they are not going to back him by allowing him to play more in their own first team. i mean i get not rushing things but that debut gave him something to build on from for them. its really our gain, i just hope he plays and does well for us.

its great to see him given a deal, i thought he had signed a professional deal before he made his debut but i am pleasantly surprised to learn this was not the case. it makes his debut a bit more special and no doubt james sanderson has worked hard to earn this. i am very pleased for him, well done james!

this is great news, i hope stuart maynard manages to find a way for james sanderson to get game time so that he can get up to the pace of the senior players. i hope other youth players manage to get a chance to add depth to our squad. sanderson looks to have a very bright future with us.

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.
