      That's a pity, I take it this was the one with Charlie, Rachid Harkouk and others in the Navi?

      Yes, I believe so.

      I just searched our Facebook group, it seems it's been removed there. I wonder what prompted this? 🤔

      I can only imagine that one of them don't want their photo circulated publicly and asked for it to be deleted @Chris. Bit of a shame, but it's up to them. It's good to see they're still about the place anyway.

      Very impressive, always nice to hear from Chris and Alex, they don't make many public statements but I like their style and you can't deny they are delivering and have provided a great foundation for the head coach. 

      Luke Williams is the difference though this season, he's just got something about him. Never quite happy, always wanting to improve and his current style of play is pretty much perfect. Our improvement off the ball this season has taken us to the next level this season. Just got to hope we can maintain it all season.

      And that's a tease, I'm interested to hear what your questions were now @Piethagoram !

      Piethagoram

      For @menzinho

      Question on why Notts only produce short form Company accounts, rather than a more detailed full format that Chesterfield produce

      Question on a longer term training facility agreement ( though that may have been covered in answering Pete Dennis's question

      Question on whether the building facade on Meadow Lane, whether planning permissions could be sought again

      T'was only allowed 3 questions, 4th Q may well have been, why did you think about buying Wrexham before coming to Meadow Lane?

      This is always the case; the media team will be heavily strict on PR relations.

      Every club is like this, unfortunately.

  1. Saturday is the last one before Halloween and also our next prediction league round. So don't worry what The Others are doing or if the Omens are good, just send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday and remember your jokers. Go on, it'll be a Scream. If you're lucky I might even Carrie on with the puns.

      Some teams are playing in a new fangled competition call the FA Cup on Saturday (it'll never catch on), so there'll be no prediction league on that day. The next round will be on Tuesday 8 November, which will be a partial rerun of round 8, which was postponed. So I'll post those fixtures at the weekend. Thanks for playing and have a good one!

  2. Game 17 - The Gulls (H)

    Team: Torquay United

    Date: 29/10/2022

    Where: Meadow Lane



    What line-up should Luke Williams opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

    Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

      DonnyNotts

      Another great result. Fingers crossed we actually look like a team that can last the pace. At the moment I would say it would be us or Wrexham, I realise its very early days but confidence means a lot, long may it continue 

    2. DangerousSausage

      DangerousSausage

      Not sure what to say really, sounded like another confident performance, excellent crowd, onto the next one! It'll be very difficult to shake Wrexham off and I personally doubt we'll hold top spot from now till the end of the season, but we are putting clear blue water between us and the rest.

      Most importantly of all: four more wins and we're safe from relegation :D

  3. Tuesday nights aren't quite the same without a prediction league round, are they? So here you go. Please send in your predictions by 7.45pm on Tuesday, and remember your jokers. Good luck!

      Sooo, @Dripsey3 is sitting pretty in first place, but the next eight are separated by just six points. @GrannyPie leaps from mid-table obscurity into second, and @magpiejue jumps into mid-table.

      The next round is a regular Saturday round, and the fixtures are online now! Thanks for playing and see you over there :)

  4. Game 16 - The Stones (A)

    Team: Wealdstone

    Date: 25/10/2022

    Where: Grosvenor Vale

      Another fantastic result, I think they said the last time we scored 6 away was at Chelsea in the 1920’s! Mad!

      Only blemish is Brinds red card but if you had to pick a game to miss you’d say bottom of the league (not that I’m taking anything for granted) is an ideal chance to ease Baldwin back in. Early season I was dubious about our system particularly the roles of the wingbacks but credit to Chicks and Nemane, they're smashing it there. And great to have shared the goals around, Macca is red hot but we are certainly not a one-man team.

      Back-to-back home games now, although we’re doing pretty well playing away this season 😄

    3. DangerousSausage

      Fantastic result. Wealdstone away is exactly the kind of fixture where we've slipped up in seasons past, but we smashed it out of the park this time. The goals were top quality too.

      So Wrexham are still snapping at our heels, but we've already opened up an eight-point gap to third. All we have to do to go up is win every game :)

  5. As Abraham Lincoln definitely once said: "Have a go at the PON prediction league. You know you want to." If you want to take his advice, this round of fixtures kicks off at 3pm on Saturday 10 September, and you have a joker each.

    Advance warning: I will be on holiday for the three rounds following this one, so I'm going to make the topics this evening and unlock them three days before the respective matches kick off. Nothing will change from your end, but forgive me if there's a delay in counting the points :)

  7. Game 15 - The Stones (H)

    Date: 22/10/2022

      Comfortable win, and could have been better if chances were converted. Where was this attitude in the cup?.

    2. menzinho

      I'm glad we didn't suffer a hangover after the FA Cup game, but I didn't think we would as the team was back to the one that had notched up the 4 wins previous.

      I only listened and have seen the highlights, but Maidstone clearly came to frustrate but it didn't work at all. Totally dominate for the whole game, and Slocombe only had one save to make. Macca ploughing on with his goal scoring record attempt but it's important not to forget Cedwyn. 7 goals from 14 games for him, he's not getting the headlines but that's a great goal return. And good to see Ruben get his first open-play goal, given his change in role this season he probably won't get as many goals but he's still a vital part of why the team is doing so well.

      Our form right now is incredible really, we're on the kind of run that you need to win this league. 10 games, 9 wins and 1 loss. Tuesday can't come soon enough at the moment!

  8. So there’s been a ton of articles about him this past week, features on the BBC Sport site and few write ups in national papers too.

    I just wondered if anyone really thought he’d be as good as he has been? I remember when I first posted about him, I said he’d be doing well to get 15 goals in his first season for us, little did I know he’d have achieved that tally by October! I was worried when Woots left and thought it would take a bit of time for Langstaff to adjust to the step-up. I've been really surprised at how good he is!

  9. I know we’ve started the season really well and you can’t complain about the league standing. But that result was embarrassing. Completely underestimated Coalville and gifted them progression to the next round. We were so switched off and bad on the ball today, it really did look like a team of strangers at times. So many bad induvial performances. The 3rd goal summed it up, awful corner and they go straight down the other end and score due to some absolutely criminal defending from us!

    I didn’t think it would be easy but I really thought we’d win. Not just cos they’re 7th tier but it was a big chance for a lot of players today to make a statement, a lot them now can’t argue when they find themselves back on the bench. Sam Austin is probably the only player who can, 2 goals and our only real threat for most of that game.

    Fair play to Coalville but that has to go down as one of our worst ever loses.

  10. Notts may be playing in some cup competition, but the Proper Leagues carry on as normal, so here we are. Enter your predictions by 3pm on Saturday and remember your jokers! Good luck!

     

    Burnley v Swansea City

    Sunderland v Wigan Athletic

    Bolton Wanderers v Barnsley

    Burton Albion v Morecambe

    Cheltenham Town v Bristol Rovers

    AFC Wimbledon v Sutton United

    Carlisle United v Doncaster Rovers

    Salford City v Bradford City

  11. Young 2 Didnt have a lot to do except pick the ball out 3 times. Perhaps, we have helped Leicester, no where near good enough

    Mahovo 5 Hung out to dry with some hospital passes. 

    Rawlinson 5 Could defending be better?

    Brindley 4 Off the pace, needs some ruthlessness to bring players down when exposed

    Taylor 5 Some good work but needed to be more positive

    Adebayo Rowling 5 Again, in advance areas, needed to do better

    Francis 3 Too slow, decision making poor, anonymous

    Bajrami 6 At least showed some effort and creativity

    Castro 2.5 No real effort, commitment, nowt...exactly what Burton fans were saying

    Austin 7 Motm by a distance

    Mitchell 3 The fact is, he doesn't look like scoring. Inability to hold the ball up led to a Coalville goal

     

    I am so depressed. Thought we were due a good FA Cup run. Only automatic promotion will do

     

  12. Sorry about the slight delay, must be because it's round 13 (that's my excuse anyway). As ever, get your predictions in by 3pm on Saturday, remember your jokers and good luck! (But not more than me.)

     

    Birmingham City v Bristol City

    Millwall v Middesbrough

    Lincoln City v Charlton Athletic

    Oxford United v Wycombe Wanderers

    Barrow v Mansfield Town

    Northampton Town v Salford City

    Maidenhead United v Oldham Athletic

    Wealdstone v Boreham Wood

  13. Slocombe 4 Seeing several posts on Social Media not entirely blaming Slocombe. The fact remains he could have cleared the ball with his left boot but allowed the ball to run across him and was charged down into the net. If we are serious about promotion, this cannot continue

    Brindley 6 Always looking assured

    Rawlinson 4.5 Defensively sound but ball at feet, nightmares ensue.

    Cameron 5 Still prone to one bad pass but has the ability to move forward with ease

    Chicksen 6.5 A successful afternoon down his wing...using his ability to beat Woking's last man

    Nemane 5 Thought he had a quiet game

    Palmer 5.5 Some really poor corners

    Bajamri 8 Man of the Match. Some great tackles, an assured performance

    Ruben 7.5 Ridiculous booking by the ref early on. Neatly taken penalty. Volleyed pass to Chicksen a thing of beauty

    Scott 7.5 Showing the position and finishing of Langstaff

    Langstaff 7 Not at his best but beautifully fed Scott for a goal

    Subs

    Mitchell 3.5 Another penalty given away. Liability in defence

    Austin 7.5 Looks quality when he comes on
