Well you had me going for a minute when I saw the thread title my first reaction was unrepeatable.

I don't suppose this has anything to do with the date.

Are you accusing me of spreading fake news?

Yes and I also accuse you of spreading laughter with so many of your posts even though you are experiencing a tough time at the moment.You have a lovely sense of humour that is missed when you aren't posting.When  @GrannyPie left us I found the posts by PoN members to me very helpful and supportive.I hope PoN helps you too.

Nice lad, but I don't think he pushes himself enough and I think he's content to be just a professional. I think we have had far better players, and we seem to favour his height over his actual defensive abilities. The only game I think he stood out as having potential was against Colchester in our home game, but I do wonder now if it was because he knew the club were planning to loan him out?

I wish him well; personally I think Notts can do better, but I would always hope that a player under contract could prove themselves.

After all, he's not Richard Duffy.

Good for both parties

Key point "Chelsea's strategy is entirely within Premier League rules. Uefa has more stringent rules and it remains to be seen whether European football's governing body considers any action."

Barnsley had an operating loss of 9.6 million last season, so there's still Championship spending going on there. Stockport's spending is huge, but at that time they were in L2 with a smaller slice of tv money.

It puts our own figures into perspective, but none of it is sustainable. Clubs are kidding themselves that the football regulator will be a silver bullet. 

@DangerousSausage A Football Regulator may rule to allow PL overseas TV income to be allowed into the distribution pot! EFL 3 should replace the NL.'s top division, using a proportion of said money.

Maybe the only way is to have a financial points penalty for every £m of loss. With financial accounts working in arrears, the points penalty would be effective in the 2nd season, following the publication at Companies House. I would be in favour of EFL accepting management accounts from clubs during the season, so points deduction would happen that season, with severe penalties to Directors for signing off misinformation.

Looks like the freezing of season ticket prices has been incredibly popular with the fans reading all the feedback.

Your Sunday Afternoon Weather

Your 4cast for Tuesday 

Morning all we’ve just arrived in Southampton after a great two week cruise, the weather improved after the first few days and has been glorious.

I hope everyone is ok @Robbie thanks for keeping the weekly chat going, I’ll catch up with everyone when we get back home.

@liampie Even at Newport, there was a moment when Slocombe had the ball at his feet, my heart was experiencing palpitations!

I think he is being signed as a #1 keeper. 

 

Bloody hope so....I'll never forget the first 20 minutes at Wembley!!!!

@gtownjohnno Just prior to Wembley, Luke said come what may, he would be looking at how the players handle the "pressure"

I was left completely baffled when Sam was issued with a new contract!

Also in my time supporting Notts I can't remember ever having a US player in the squad before, is he the first? 

Tentatively, Ade Akinbiyi joined #Notts having played for Houston Dynamo. Can't think of any US born Notts players at the moment. There was Marcus Haber but he was Canadian

This poll has now closed. Thanks to all who voted. 

I'm pleased to announce that for his outstanding performance, Charlie Whittaker has been voted the Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match against Newport.

Well done Charlie.

@TheSkipper"It’s just a pity he didn’t get the hat-trick,"

Why oh why didn't Palmer allow Whitaker to take the free kick on the edge of the D?

well done to charlie whitaker, time to extend his deal.

Here's mine. I might have been a bit generous with the top teams, but it seems we'll need at least 80 points in most scenarios. That's 5 wins, or alternatively 4 wins and 3 draws. Beating Bradford or Doncaster would be massive.

On most models it seems that 73 points might be enough for a playoff place. 75 to be a little more comfortable.

My prediction table is:

Bradford 82
Walsall 81
Wimbledon 80
----------------------
Port Vale 80
Doncaster 78
Notts 76
Grimsby 72
---------------------
Colchester 71

I really do think it’ll be close, there's still a possibility one team suddenly ends the season strongly and goes clear at the top, who knows?! I also wouldn’t be surprised if Walsall slipped out the automatics, I think their saving grace might just be their remaining fixtures against the poorer teams but their current form is awful.

As far as Notts are concerned, I think I had us down to draw with Salford and Doncaster at home and lose at both Bradford and Colchester… Maybe a touch pessimistic but it does mean even if we don’t have a great end to the season we should still make the play-offs.

Just to let everyone know, @Hi Humans ツ is my eldest daughter, Ellie.

Her predictions, I believe, are a joke for @super_ram. I don't know how seriously she's taking this competition, but she doesn't mean any harm.

She will be marked like everyone else @Chris. Not sure about some of those scorelines though! 

The results:

Norwich City 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
Stoke City 3-1 QPR
Blackpool 2-1 Bolton Wanderers
Bristol Rovers 1-2 Mansfield Town
Barrow 0-1 Chesterfield
Walsall 1-1 AFC Wimbledon
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-0 Maidenhead United
Tamworth 2-0 Eastleigh

@Megan_Elizax, @Robbie and @super_ram lead the way with 14 points each!

This is the table overall. @ARLukomski is now five points ahead...

So they were Saturday's points. We've got another round coming up on Tuesday (tomorrow) - send in your predictions now! Good luck  

Another must win game for Notts against a side that has had some dissapointing results of late.

I think Mk Dons are in a false position in the league & they are a very dangerous side & must not be  underestimated by the Notts fans.

I'm sure that Nemane and Crowley will be fired up to prove a point & Notts will need to be at their very best to counter their threat.

I would pick the same team that played so well at Newport. We know that Notts have struggled at home against teams that are content to defend & hit Notts on the break.

I do believe that the Dons will want to play some football against Notts & that might give the Notts players more space to work some magic. I really do hope that is the case.

I think it will be a very close match & the odd goal will  probably win it. If Notts can keep it tight at the back & pinch that odd goal, I think they can get the result we all want 

I didn't mind Shaun Brisley, and always thought he was a model professional for us. It's just that he wasn't as good, or able to reproduce his form from other clubs. One day, I'll find out about the conversation between him and Harry Kewell, as to what was said about him being pushed into midfield. I already know Thierry Audel didn't rate or like a certain vampire manager who lasted a short time (not short enough).
