does anyone have any ideas on what they think forced cedwyn scott to go off? it was definitely his knee, luke williams confirmed this. also, is anyone concerned about the injury itself?

i am sure scott will be okay, but hes such a good asset for the club any extended length out of the team would be gutting to see.

we do have junior morias who can come in, but its not looking good.

A very big welcome to @George L who also happens to be my grandson, so if he misbehaves let me know. ????

Welcome George I hope you find time to join in with the discussions in your busy schedule of lying in bed during the summer holidays. 

I would expect loan moves for:

Lucien Mahovo

Luther Munakandafa

though these may not be dependent on the transfer deadline day, as likely it would be towards the National League

Still hopeful of 1 or 2 centre backs, incoming, especially with Bajrami's injury

A big PoN welcome to @Steveyward I hope you enjoy being part of our friendly community.

Before the season started we were given dark warnings from Mansfield fans that we (and Wrexham) would be shocked at how high the standard in League Two is. Now we're five games in, what are your thoughts so far?

Personally I've been less than impressed so far. Even Sutton didn't do anything we hadn't seen in the NL, we were a rabbit in the headlights that day and weren't ready. In the last three games in particular we've looked a class above the opposition. However, I think we've had a soft start - we've played three of the bottom four (and lost against one of them) and only one of the teams we've played is in the top half, and only just. The last two would struggle in the NL; Doncaster in particular were frighteningly bad and reminded me of us in our relegation season.

It's nice to be in the top four, but our next games are against the franchise (first) and Accrington (third). I think it'll take another month or so until we truly know where we rank and whether another promotion bid is realistic.

You probably know what to do by now - predict the following fixtures by 3pm on Saturday and nominate one joker. Good luck!

Coventry City v Sunderland

Millwall v Stoke City

Exeter City v Reading

Lincoln City v Blackpool

Bradford City v Crewe Alexandra

Walsall v Grimsby Town

Boreham Wood v Oldham Athletic

Ebbsfleet United v Kidderminster Harriers

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,

and I was there

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @NorthPie. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

Hello, @Bryn Roberts. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

welcome to pon, @Sir Magpie.

Game 5 - Super White Army (H)

Team: Tranmere Rovers

Date: 26/08/2023

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.
