It’s a bank holiday weekend so let’s hope for decent weather. What have you got planned? 

For me it’s Park Run tomorrow then Meadow Lane for the match. Sunday no plans as yet and Monday another of my famous bbq’s, just me and Mrs T because the family are away but we’ve got a chicken so I’ll spatchcock it and stick it on the barbie, weather permitting.

What are you lot up to this weekend?

Morning all, looks like being a decent day. What are you all up to this weekend?
 

Today I’ve got to complete an online refresher course for my volunteering role. Hopefully that won’t take long then I’ll have a walk with Mrs. T, we might even end up at the pub if we feel really naughty.

Tomorrow it’s park run day in the morning then the match in the afternoon which I’m really looking forward to grandson @George L is on holiday so I’m going on my own, hopefully first win of the season.

Sunday we haven’t got anything planned so I’ll update later.

What about you? Let us know how you’re spending your weekend,

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.

A bit of a bad taste in the mouth left by the handful of fans who booed and swore at the players for taking a knee before yesterday's game. OK; you wouldn't do it. But it's their choice. No reason to boo them.  Plus there were too few of you for anyone who wasn't near you to notice.

The league have credited Jodie Jones with his goal for Notts against Grimsby, he’s now on two.

Stone 7 - difficult to rate because he didn't have a serious save to make, but did what he had to do well.
Rawlinson 7 - looks good on the right side of a back 3, great to see him score the winner.
Brindley 7 - switching him to the centre was an inspired move, he looks so much better.
Cameron 7.5 - impressive today both defending and going forward.
Nemane 7 - scared them in the first half, but a bit mixed in the second.
Palmer 7 - does what Palmer does. Always available and keeps us moving.
Bostock 9* - A majestic display. Didn't waste a pass and won the ball back regularly. Today Bostock looked like a Premiership player dropped into a League 2 match. Head and shoulders above any other player on the pitch, a travesty he didn't get MOM.
Jones 7.5 - classy, provided some quality crosses that deserved a better end product.
Crowley 7 - always composed on the ball, some good creative moments.
Langstaff 7 - everything but a goal, and he should probably have had a couple. He was still in the right place and his work ethic can't be faulted.
McGoldrick 7.5 - showed more of what he offers. Great finish for our first and could have had more.

Subs 6.5 - all did their job. Hope Scott's injury is a minor one.

An impressive performance today, the scoreline really didn't do us justice. Another brilliant attendance, the thought of us getting over 10,000 for a home game against Tranmere would have been unthinkable last time we were here.

BBC2 are screening series 1 of Red Dwarf from 1988 tonight a must see for me, I recommend it if you’ve never seen it.

There’s a special feeling around the club right now. The bond between the players, club, and fans is stronger than ever. It’s important for us to do well on the field, but it’s also important for us to enjoy the football. We can talk about key match moments and reflect on performances, but at the end of the day, we have a squad we’ve wanted for years. The club feels like we’re on the up. Games are exciting to attend because we’re making the stands echo with our support. It’s something the players appreciate.

Just how much are you enjoying Notts right now? What are your thoughts on our fans’ support at games this season? Let us know in the comments below!

Thank you, @Chris, for my display picture. I have been using an Aussie club’s badge since arriving at Meadow Lane, but they don’t play our football. I asked him if he would make the necessary changes to make it more Notts related. I think he has done a superb job; it’s a lot more detailed now.

Welcome to our live discussion about Notts County's performance in the League Two season! ????????

Notts County suffered a shock in their opening game, but they have steadily improved since then. Are they now on the up? Are they settling into life in League Two? These are some of the questions we'll be discussing today.

• Notts are 9th in League Two
• LWDW - current form
• Currently sit two places away from the playoffs and are six places away from the automatic promotion places.
• Scored 7
• Conceded 8

Join us as we delve into Notts' journey so far in the League Two season and share your thoughts and opinions with us. 

I don’t travel to away matches but enjoy listening to Radio Nottingham. After Charlie Slater I’d not been too impressed with his replacement until todays game, I thought Dave Bracegirdle was excellent although I missed Mark Stallard who was absent, Ian Richardson stood in.

The young commentator who did the first games showed his inexperience but he’ll learn, whereas Dave Bracegirdle really was very assured and competent his interview technique for the post match interview with Luke Williams was really good he asked all the right questions whilst being respectful.

What did other stay at home fans think?

Next up Notts play Tranmere at Meadow Lane on 26th August.

How many links can we find between the two clubs?

The only one I could come up with is Zoumana Bakayogo who joined Notts from Tranmere in 2019.

Over to you clever lot.

I am curious what people think, if Notts needs to sign one or more to cover? We are yet to see what Ollie Tipton brings to the team, and Richard Brindley has done superbly in the middle of the three CB's.

However, we may need cover in this area and with Geraldo Bajrami's injury, I could see Tipton playing in the DM/CB role when needed.

Despite the feeling of needing a CB who is tall and can play the ball out. I have a feeling we won't bring anyone in, and I am fine with that. As we can review the situation in January. Thoughts?

Can we all welcome @Kevin May  to Pon!

Some of the funniest memories I have is of watching this with my parents. I also love Steptoe and Son.

Note: The description on Youtube reads: "For UK based viewers (or those who know their way round a VPN) the full version of this is available on BBC iPlayer until July 31st 2024."

If we need a centre back, ( and we do)  perhaps a season long loan?
