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.

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. ????

welcome to pon @Thomas Cotton.

welcome to pon @Michelle Evans.

they need to get stricter with the spending because the overspending is risking clubs long term future, it will be difficult to do when teams want the best players and transfer fees are overinflated. fans need to stop over spending for the short terms, even at our level and try to see how things are improving for the better. i hope man city will be the next to be fined, i think they should have further punishments for their continued floundering of it.

i think it was one of alan hardys better decisions, tough but correct. yes it could have been handled better but it was obvious that we needed to restart it. those players were not being paid solely by the gate receipts of the ladies game but that's a different debate. i am in all favour of the new womens team because i think they show a lot of community spirit and love notts as a whole.

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.
