I know he's had an unfortunate start to his Notts career after picking up an injury during pre-season but by all accounts he's now fit and just waiting for that chance. I wonder how long he'll have to wait though. If the idea was that he'll play at wingback he's now surely 3rd choice (on both sides) behind Chicksen & Adebayo. Maybe he's being trained behind the scenes to play in the central attacking role behind the striker, I just don't know.

With a little bit of rotation likely, he could well feature against Swindon and then I'd get my answer but right now I'm struggling to see how and where he gets into the team.

Game 10 - The U's (A)

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?

  • The performance wasn't bad, but the defending and Aidan Stone's passing were the problems. I think Luke Williams should tell the players not to always try to play the ball out from the back. I can see when it is useful and effective, but when a team presses and tries to win the ball, it can lead to problems. Look at the playoff final against Chesterfield. They came out trying to score early and it caused us problems. I don't know why we can't identify these problems before they become a problem, like we saw against Colchester United.

    @menzinho That's a valid point, I had forgotten about Baj. He seemed to be improving in his position, and while I have great admiration for Jim O'Brien, he doesn't possess the same playing style as them. I'm not implying that Jim isn't deserving of a starting position, but there is a suitable time and place for it. In my opinion, Colchester wasn't that team.

These matches kick off at 3pm on Saturday, let's be having you! And remember your joker!

 

Norwich City v Birmingham City

QPR v Coventry City

Port Vale v Bolton Wanderers

Reading v Burton Albion

Gillingham v Mansfield Town

Salford City v Newport County

Halifax Town v Eastleigh

Rochdale v Southend United

If you aren’t a season ticket holder and want a ticket for the Mansfield game I’d grab one now they are going fast. I got two online for me and grandson @George L and seats were disappearing as I looked online.

It’s the weekend again, I’m sure it’s eagerly awaited for all you workers or students, I know I always looked forward to it when I worked.

What plans have you all got? Some will no doubt be travelling to see the Super Notts so safe travels and bring back the points.

Tonight being Friday I will be enjoying Mrs. T’s famous curry, this time it’s Lamb and Spinach and I’ll wash it down with my first pint of the week. Tonight we are watching a film on Prime called The Lost Flowers of Alex Hart, which has been recommended to us.

Tomorrow it’s Park Run day, then we are visiting a kitchen shop to finalise the plans for our revamped kitchen, in the afternoon I’ll be glued to Radio Nottingham.

Whats everyone else up to?

An out of nowhere appointment, but looks like a masterstroke from the Bros Reedtz

 

 

On this coming Saturday Notts travel to Colchester, how many players, managers or coaches etc., have links with both clubs?

Here’s my starter for 10 - Liam Chilvers played for Colchester between 2004 and 2006 and also for us between 2010 and 2012.

How many more can we find.

Over the years, he was always Colchester's stand out player against Notts

Now at FC Eindhoven, playing centre back

I never knew this.

Like me, he  grew up in Notts in the 70’s and 80’s and didn’t jump on Clough’s bandwagon? I respect that, even if he was at the hated High School when I was at the slightly less hated Minster.

 

Hello mate. How can I delete all me notifications at once? I signed in today and I had lots of them.

Mine is Notts County 3 Spurs 0.

It was a League Cup third round tie in October 1994. Notts faced the mighty Spurs managed by World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles at Meadow Lane, with the likes of Juergen Klinsmann, Sol Campbell and Teddy Sheringham in their team Notts were given little chance.

However with goals from Gary McSwegan (2) and Tony Agana Notts marched on to the fourth round and next morning Ossie Ardiles was sacked. I remember the second goal after McSwegan scored the players did a celebratory “Klinsmann dive” rubbing salt in the wound. Spurs had a man sent off but Notts were already 2-0 up by then.

The teams on that night were as follows:

Notts: Reece; Mills, Yates, Johnson (Murphy, 65), R Walker; Turner; Devlin, Butler, Legg; Agana, McSwegan (Matthews, 80). Substitutes not used: Cherry (gk).

Tottenham: Thorstvedt; Austin, Campbell, Calderwood (Hazard, 45), Edinburgh; Popescu; Barmby, Dozzell, Dumitrescu; Sheringham, Klinsmann.

Whats your most memorable match?

I'm probably not the only Notts fan who has a lot of love for Luton. The team we took down with us on our last day in the top flight, thanks to a goal from Rob Matthews, who went on to play for them when he left Notts.  Oh, what a night that was, getting back to London and meeting up with Coventry fans at the Head of Steam in Euston... I still don't know how I got back home.
They too went down to non-league and had never returned to the top flight until this season.
They've not exactly had the most excellent start to the season... This is a good read.
