Happy Birthday to my wonderful mum! @GrannyPie
We'll be round to see you shortly, please remind @super_ram that it's Christmas and we have some presents (why he didn't realise this is beyond me).
Have a lovely day Granny, feel free to make use of those sticks with the old ram as much as you want. x

Who can fill Jim O'Brien boots?
With him likely to be out for some time, if not the rest of the season. Who can step forward and take his boots?

I've always had a soft spot for Notts. Maybe it's because you resist the allure of past glories across the Trent. Maybe it's because of the numerous Blades/Notts connections (our current manager for one).
Either way, I've kept an eye on you for years now and was gutted by your relegation. Here's hoping you do a Luton or Lincoln.

I know it's early but would like to wish all Notts fans a happy New Year!

What did everyone get for Christmas?

welcome to pon @Dane Arnold

Slocombe 6 - Commanding when he had to be
Kelly-Evans 6 - Got stuck in when needed and made a good clearance to avoid a certain goal
Rawlinson 8 - Once again, puts his head in where it hurts. Aerial colossus. Could have had a goal if he stuck his toe out
Lacey 7 - So much better with him in defence
McCrory 6 - Got up the line on occasions and got stuck in
Boldewijn 6 - Was doing bits on the left and then was deployed on the right where is impact limited. Had a chance at a shot 2nd half in which he did not shoot
Rose 5 - Too many times lost the second ball and didn't go forward enough. Scrappy game for him
Doyle 6 - Was trying to urge the team on and got involved but like Rose, lost too many second balls
Osborne 5 - Not his day. Did well on the right first 10 but then was switched to the left for no reason and impact limited after that. Subbed early
Wootton 7 - Held it up really well as he battled against the Maidenhead defenders
Dennis 6 - Made alright runs first half. Completely missed his header from a free kick. Nothing of note in the second
Tyson 5 - Didn't really do owt in his time on the pitch
Thomas 5 - Not much nof note
-
To one and all.
I want to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
With the early present of 3 points against AFC Halifax, I think we can put football to the back of our minds and focus on the festive season with our families (until Boxing Day at least).
It's that time of year where spreading love, togetherness and being thankful for what you have - is the most important thing.
I know, I won't be the only fan of Notts County FC that is grateful that we have a football club.
Please take a moment to help spread the festive joy, take count of what we have and come back eager to finish what has been started in 2019.

whats your favourite christmas film?

Who do you think will be next to leave Notts permanently?
I think Tom Crawford might end up being released, I can't see him earning a lot in wages and I think Neal Ardley will now want to strengthen his pack.

A dominant midfield performance from this guy. Perhaps Notts should look to sign, a real Neal Bishop style performance

Based on a mean of 5.5
Slocombe 7.5 fantastic save towards the end...Distribution too slow at times, booked for time wasting too.
Kelly Evans 7 surprised to be included given Solihull's aerial game but did not disappoint.. His best position may turn out to be an Alan Judge role
Rawlinson 7 Some good headers won, distribution is a little wayward
Lacey 7.5 Looks a class above
Bakayogo 7 Sound, not much going forward
Doyle 7 Leading the midfield, calm and dictated play
Crawford 4 May seem harsh but was clueless when in space, he seemed to choose the wrong option time and time again
Rose 7.5 Stepping up performances, that block right at the end!
Tyson 6 Match ready?
Thomas 7 Calm finish to win the game
Wootton 7.5 Won the key challenge to set up the winner... We need to sign this guy permanently but suspect other EFL clubs are looking

They might feel robbed but Notts deserved to come away with the following we had taken to their ground. Great scenes!
Better result!!
-
A determined win by Notts, the goal was well worked too.
-
Here's the winning goal from the Notts Facebook page.
Listen to the roar on that! How many did we take?

Avoid hoofing it for the sake of it, mix play up and Notts will do just fine.
I don't expect Notts to pass them out of the park, but working more should be a benefit.
-
I see it being a draw, Kristian Dennis getting the only goal for Notts.
-
Well that sounded pretty marvellous on the radio. Clinical in the first half, totally shut them out in the second. And it sounds like Osborne and Dennis made the most of their call-ups too, more of the same please!

Well what an away day that was, a great early Christmas present!
I thought the first half was a bit of a non-event. Started okay, but quickly started playing too safe and the final ball was poor. Halifax didn't really deserve to go in 1-0 up.
However the second half was like watching a completely different game. We just shifted the tempo, the passing was quicker, we actually knocked the ball for players to run onto and put some crosses in! Enzio was on it. Not so much of the drifting inside, more using the width beating his man and getting balls into the box. Lacey has stepped in nicely, decent in the air but he's much quicker across the ground than Turner. He won his far share of tackles and was pretty spot on all game. Just looks like a really good athlete to me!
Also I'm pleased for Ross Fitzsimons, I thought he did really well considering it was his first game in ages. Notts have a clip of the final goal on twitter now, doesn't show the bit where he came and grabbed the ball in the crowded box a good 15 yards out from his goal. Last season he'd have been stood under his crossbar...
Back to back away wins now, bring on Maidenhead!
-
Delighted with the win. We certainly looked lively on the highlights. I know there's been a lot of redevelopment at the Shay, but the big empty seated stand looks depressing. Not sure why Halifax need a ground that big.
-
the second half sounded better on the radio, i think with some of the players it is all down to confidence because once this has been lifted we seem to thrive. i am pleased for mitch rose and ross fitzsimons, im sure nobody wants them to fail but seeing them step up and earn positive feedback it must be good.

Sorry it's a late one this week, was up at 8 and was called into work for 9 finished at 16:15, instead of finishing at 14:00, but that's working life for me
The place where I work got Just-Eat installed. So lunch and dinner rushes have been a lot more busier what they used to be like, along with all of the uber orders as well.
Wednesday night I spent the night with @ARLukomski went to the final ever quiz at Widecombe Fair, which has been part of our lives for nearly 2 years.
Took my brother out to buy his christmas presents and after that we went and visited family. Apart from all hectic stuff that's been going off at work, I've had a pretty quiet week.
How has everyone elses weeks been?
Finally, I hope you all have a lovely christmas and enjoy spending time with your families

Fitzsimons 7 - Quick distribution and good hands. Good to see him have a good game
Brindley 6 - Created a good chance in the first half when he exploited the available space and put a decent ball in. Should do it more but doesn't
Rawlinson 8 - Comfortable on the ball and bought it out of defence. Real shout for player of the season so far
Lacey 8 - Intelligent and good with the ball at his feet. Gave Ross an option to play out from the back all the time
McCrory 6 - Defensively still questionable and not much going forward but put in a tackle on the odd occasion
Shields 6 - Ran his guts out and played on despite a knock. Gave the Halifax full back a hard time
Rose 8 - Wow. Mitch Rose or Frank Lampard? Exceptional volley and scored a penalty. Going forward he was brilliant and supported the attack excellently. That's the Mitch Rose we want
Doyle 7 - Didn't play too deep which really helped us going forward. Kind of played CM rather than CDM with Rose playing further forward. Glued it together nicely
Boldewijn 7 - Teased Halifax and ran at his man. Got beyond his opposite man on occasions too. When told to play out wide the wingers are great.
Wootton 9 - This guy is just too good for this level. Two more goals. Link up play brilliant again. Positioning good too. First priority in Jan is signing him permanently. It takes all priority over everything else. Get this man in
Thomas 7 - Intelligent runs. Spurned a few chances but him and Wootton work really well together
Subs
Dennis 6 - Put himself about and almost scored a world class curler
Crawford 6 - Shored up the midfield as we saw out the game. Decent passing
Kelly-Evans 6 - Got stuck in and brought it forward. Putting pressure on Brindley now
