Qualified ratings as sat behind the goal

Slocombe 4 Loss of Paterson immense. Stood on line for first, missed coming for the ball for the 2nd, 2 good saves later, prevented it being 4

Brindley 4 A few forward forays but without confidence that any end result being delivered. Defensively weak

Rawlinson 4 Just gets found out when asked to play football.

Chicksen 4,. Average

DKE  4.5 Tough time defensively against Vincent Harper

Taylor 5 Frustrating that he doesnt get down the line more

Palmer 6.5 (MoTM) seems to get 100% pass accuracy

Vincent 4 Anonymous

Roberts 5 Homework down, defenders to block when he cuts inside

Ruben 5 Took a knock 1st half

Wootton 5 No change from their centre halfs

Subs

Francis 4 one shot went wide...doesnt offer anything

Just at the time I am aiming and hoping that fans will share discussions/questions, the perfect one crops up on our Facebook account. Wayne posted 'I'd like to open a discussion on what facility's could be improved at Meadow Lane'. Now, I'd like discuss it here whilst I prepare to slot it into the schedule on our social pages.

Brilliant question though, lets discuss the facility's and how they can be improved at Meadow Lane.

I know exactly how they can be improved, I'll post later on though.

Game 16 - The Spitfires (A)

Team: Eastleigh

Date: 20/11/2021

Where: Silverlake Stadium

What line-up should Ian Burchnall 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.

The business model of finding talent that can do well at our level, but attract interest higher up is starting to take hold. Ruben Rodrigues is attracting interest from Blackburn Rovers. Supposedly Blackpool and Rotherham United are too.

I think its likely that Kyle Wootton and some of our other key players will be on the radar.

Notts has not managed to sell assets on successfully for years, yes we have let go of youngsters but a club like Notts this will always be the case. Pricing players wisely and recruiting replacements will be a test for Notts and something quite new. Yes, we have been doing well with this regards since the takeover of the club from the hands of Alan Hardy, but we have been lucky to retain the best players.

I stumbled across a video on YouTube by CV Academy, it shows a training session which our manager, Ian Burchnall held with them. It shows some of his insight towards possession play and, building the thirds of the pitch - gaining space, so that play opens up.

This is something which he focuses on with Notts and, I wished I found it at the time when Don Masson made his comments about the club in 'modern times' building up from the back. It's a short video, but very detailed and, something I would encourage people to see. The games are always adapting, but always something behind what seems like madness.

PS. I haven't seen this shared anywhere before, I wonder if it ends up doing the rounds after this. ????

I am a big fan of Ian Burchnall's post match comments, his well thought out responses and tactical knowledge is a joy. He's not afraid to point things out, in a very constructive and calm manner. He's by far the most enjoyable manager, that I go out of my way to hear what his thoughts are.

FA Cup - The Dale (A)

Team: Rochdale AFC

Date: 07/11/2021

Where: Crown Oil Arena

What line-up should Ian Burchnall 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.

Notts are currently 5 points behind 1st place Boreham Wood after this past weekend's 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town.

The National League season so far has been at times unpredictable and, after the 3 defeats in a row, it did leave some questions to be asked by some supporters. However, confidence and form within the camp seems to be lifting - with some good and, predictably poor performances.

I think these types of results are something which will happen, yet Ian Burchnall does need to try to bring consistency to the performances - it should come with time.

I ask you, how do you feel right now? Do you feel Notts can crack on with the season now, or do you feel daunted by a tough run of fixtures coming up?

Was just missing the glamour of League Two, so had a look at the table. What on earth are Mansfield doing? Down in the relegation zone and without a win since about 1982. Are they missing their annual jollies to Meadow Lane?

I thought they might be onto something with a seasoned manager like Nigel Clough, but instead they're doing a passable impression of us. What's going on?

i am sending granny all of my love and i hope you are okay @super_ram, please let her know we are all sending our well wishes.

Hello
Just wanted to donate some money to the club but did not find any "Membership" on the website.

As you know I am Evertonian (and I hope you remember my story and why Notts County) but I really like Notts County. And as Evertonian I am not sure if it's good idea to buy any club merch but Everton's. 

So what do you think if there are enough Notts supporters outside of Nottinghamshire or UK to provide Official Notts County Membership? Or it is there already and I just can't find it? 
Thanks
