  1. Stockport County 2-1 Notts County - Encouraging signs despite defeat
  2. Hull City 1-0 Sunderland Watford 2-1 Bristol City Exeter City 1-1 Wycombe Wanderers Fleetwood Town 1-0 Carlisle United Barrow 1-1 Stockport County Bradford City 2-1 Morecambe (Joker) Altrincham 2-1 Halifax Town Southend United 1-1 Barnet
  3. A much improved performance from Notts. Our work rate, fight and desire was excellent but we for all of our possesion, we didn't create as many clear cut chances as we probably should have. We were a lot better on the ball than the last few games. We played through their first press well, moving the ball quickly between Baldwin, Cameron and Bostock. JB, Austin and Crowley were all picking up space in the centre of midfield and driving forward with the ball, something that has been lacking the last few games. Our work rate in winning the ball back was brilliant. Aldershot showed that you have to battle to stifle Stockport and we did that. We didn't allow them to go up a level at the start of the second half and we kept plugging away in hope of an equaliser. However, Stockport defended their penalty area very well. They sit in their defensive shape well when faced with pressure. Jones crossed for Langstaff which he couldn't quite get his leg too, and then a Jones cross just missed Didzy and Macca. The one chance we should have taken came through excellent work rate by Aaron Nemane, winning the ball off Ethan Pye, squaring for Didzy who should have scored. Looking back on the highlights, it was quite a tame effort. Either corner and not the centre of the goal, and it's in. I thought Brindley had his best game in a while and kept Tanto Olaofe mostly quiet for the first half. He also cleared one off the line. Baldwin also had a good game, bringing the ball out of defence and playing quick passes between himself, Cameron and others, something we haven't done the last few games, where players haven't been showing for the ball giving Baldwin and Aidan Stone no options. Stone himself had a good game, saving well from Wootton and looking calm and assured on his line. The two goals came from us heading it out for a corner unnecessarily and then switiching off from the corner, and then Tobi losing his footing, allowing Stockport in on goal which lead to their penalty. Stockport were getting overrun in midfield and so they subbed on Akil Wright for Olaofe in the 2nd half, meaning Odin Bailey went in attacking midfield, pushing Madden up front with Wootton, but we still were seeing a lot of the ball and pressing forward. However in the penalty area, we just couldn't seem to connect on the end of a cross or muster enough space for a shooting opportunity. Sometimes Didzy and Macca couldn't get the ball out of their feet. The one time Didzy did, it ended with a goal. Both teams were missing key players. We were missing Macari and Palmer, along with players like Scott and Bajrami. I know they were missing Collar, Sarcevic, Barry and Southam-Hales. A noticeable difference was the bench in which they had options to change the game and we didn't, which is why I think we didn't make our first sub till 80 minutes and most of our bench was made up of defensive options. Something that will improve come January. A hugely improved performance with good fight and work rate shown. Disappointing not to get something but encouraging signs to take into the next few games. The players deserved their ovation at the end of the game. The away end was one of the best I've been in

  5. Harrogate Town 3-1 Notts County - Woes at Wetherby
  6. January can't come soon enough for us with the gaping hole in our midfield and defence, in need of reinforcements and squad depth looking a bit empty Having lost Cedwyn Scott and Geraldo Bajrami, plus our most influential player Matty Palmer to injury, it's clear the squad is in need of signings. We were right to stick by the players that got us promoted, but we should have added more to the squad in the summer. Now the mantra is progression over loyalty Since the start of this month I've been putting together a list of possible choices for the January transfer window. Split them up into tier 1 and tier 2 targets. Tier 1 is realistic and accounting for budget (depending on how ambitious we are being). Tier 2 is less likely options/players. Players I will take but would prefer if we signed the tier 1 players Tier 1 Centre-Backs Tier 2 Centre-Backs Tier 1 Central Midfielders Tier 2 Central Midfielders
  7. It's like if EMR had admitted the percentage of times a train actually set off on time from Nottingham station. It's only going to cause negative fan reaction. Already this season Notts have been on the end of poor officiating, as mentioned by Luke Williams at the fan forum. Sutton (A) - Joe Kizzi leans in with his elbow and gets away with it Grimsby (H) - Aaron Nemane getting booked for taking too long with a throw, despite us being 1-0 down Salford (A) - Aden Baldwin being kicked to bits in the first-half and Salford were just allowed to get away with it. The referee making it all about him in the last 15 minutes, handing out 8 yellow cards, 2 of them second yellows, resulting in Kevin Berkoe (Salford) and Aaron Nemane (Notts) being sent off Wrexham (H) - Paul Mullin does some Lucha Libre spin kick on Jodi Jones and doesn't get sent off for kicking out, with it being right infront of the linesmen. Jodi somehow gets booked despite being the one that's kicked Crewe (A) - Take your pick. Shilow Tracey diving in the penalty area within the first 5 minutes, Aaron Rowe, Joe White and Conor Thomas also taking tumbles to the floor after barely being nudged. The linesmen being completely behind play all game, culminating in Courtney Baker-Richardson and Ryan Cooney both being offside for an attack late on in which the lino doesn't start running from the half way line, until after the ball had reached Cooney. Bradford (H) - Aden Baldwin taking it past 2 players and then being upended, for which the Bradford player doesn't even receive a booking. Bradford committed 12 fouls in the game and didn't get a single yellow card, whilst we received 3. Wimbledon (A) - Isaac Ogundere manhandling Jodi Jones all the way through the second-half and not receiving a booking Harrogate (A) - Brindley and Nemane taken out after the ball had gone but both times, the referee failed to caution the Harrogate players. Baldwin gets shoved in the back with nothing given, allowing Chicksen to play Harrogate in for their third. This might seem like sour grapes but Luke Williams has mentioned it before. The officiating is inconsistent and in my opinion, the lack of common sense used is unacceptable. Any others you can remember?
  8. Easiest afternoon of his footballing career. One player who did alright and one who was on my recruitment doc was Matty Daly

  13. Febian Brandy. Scored a first half hattrick for them against us in 2014
  14. They do this every single year and every single year, there are far more important issues to sort out. I've been doing this for nearly 8 years and not once has anything happened. I don't earn anything through these videos (not even in ads) and I don't have any monetisation set on my videos. I also don't release my videos until after the highlights have been released and back when I did upload my videos at a decent time, the highlights packages would still get more views anyway. I was the main part for the BBC's FA Cup stories with Notts back in January 2018. This video was shared by Notts' Twitter page and Alan Hardy and nothing was said to me. Even stewards are fine. Southend's stewards used to be awful with people that filmed at the ground and they never said a word to me, in my 2 visits to Roots Hall. I've had stewards at Notts say they watch my vids and even Ruben Rodrigues said he recognised from YouTube. The greatest compliment I've ever received. I can see why others would get annoyed by vloggers but at the end of the day, I've had 13 years of following this club and had a season ticket since 2013. I'm thankful to have met fellow Notts fans who have supported me through my time doing videos. Fan made content can bring exposure, not just to the club, but the lower leagues as well. Something that's hugely missing in modern day football. Nobody will ever understand the feeling of following your club up and down the country every week and the memories you make and the people you meet. This, in contrast to the commercial TV cash dragon that is the Premier League, where it feels in a different universe. The only time I've ever had an issue, is when my Grimsby vlog was taken down earlier this season, for a privacy violation when I was talking into the camera. The only people visible in the shot that YouTube told me were Jon, Anthony, @Megan_Elizax and someone who I spoke to at a few games this season. YouTube's communication about this, was, in a word, woeful. For a worldwide, biillion dollar company, it was unacceptable. Taking that long to reply and to help me. It would've been easier to slam a revolving door. It was also further evidence, that a complete review is needed of YouTube's claim and review system into videos, because anything can just claimed and YouTube will just accept it and move on. My question is what about the actual biggest problem in modern day football. What about the football clubs themselves in todays current climate? What about Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Morecambe. What about previous problematic owners at Charlton, Birmingham, Coventry, Bolton, Bury, Macclesfield, Southend, Scunthorpe, Blackpool, Derby, Leyton Orient, Port Vale and Hull. Literally, anyone can buy a football club nowadays. They're institutions and community assets and nothing gets done to protect them. This is the biggest problem in the lower leagues.
