Team: Mansfield Town

Date: 08/12/18

Where: Field Mill

What line-up should Harry Kewell 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.

So November wasn’t a great month for the magpies but which player would get your vote for the player of the month.?

Carrying on from question how many points can we achieve this December I’ve had a look back at last season. 

We achieved 6 points out of a possible 15 and we faced some good strong teams. 

A draw with Luton to start the month 1-1 

Another draw with Grimsby 0-0

Followed by a 3-3 draw with Cambridge 

Then a 4-1 win over morcombe 

Ending the month with a 1-0 defeat to Swindon. 

At this minute I would happily take 6 points from this month.

So the weekend is finally here after what seemed a long week what are you plans for this weekend.? 

Are you heading to Mansfield for the match or finishing off your Christmas shopping or just relaxing.?

So with the appointment of the new gaffer will bring some changes to meadow lane back room staff tactics formation set pieces etc. But there is one question ive got in my mind I wanted to ask what you guys thought and it’s this.

John stead, Robert milsom and Duffy have taken the arm band under Kewell and Duffy under Kevin Nolan will Neal change things. ? 

So who will be the captain under the new gaffer.?

Maybe he will get a chance back in Australia?

Johnny Thomsen joined Randers FC in 2012, and since then he has picked up and down the sidelines of the Kronjian Superliga club. In this season he has been on the pitch in all 16 matches, and it is quite impressive by a player who rounds 37 right away.

However, it was not many months ago that it looked like the end of the right back.

Last season, Ricardo Moniz was at the head of Randers FC in a short transition, and the oxygenated Dutch really shared the waters. Johnny Thomsen was one of those who did not swing with the streetman Moniz.

In June, Thomsen signed a contract extension with Randers FC - he would not have done if Moniz remained in the club.

- I had not extended if Moniz was still in the club. I also do not think he saw any future in me, even though I had some playing time. If Ricardo continued, it would have ended for my person, says Johnny Thomsen to tipsbladet.dk.

He describes that everything became better when Rasmus Bertelsen took over Ricardo Moniz in the spring and the good moves are still in this season under the direction of Thomas Thomasberg.

"There is peace. I have nothing to say about Ricardo, and I can easily see him fit in many places, but he is also a type that does not fit in anywhere - you can also just look at his CV. I do not think he fit into Randers FC. We needed peace of mind, and at least he did not get along, "says Thomsen.

Højrebacken finds that it was hard working days with Ricardo Moniz as manager.

"For my own sake, it was difficult to work under him because he came from another country and had nothing but life in football. This commitment was also his great strength, but in my opinion it did not fit into a squad, how many have wife and children and thus also many things in life other than football.

"He did not understand that part, and he could easily take our day off. It did not make much difference for him, but it may be challenging when you have family and other things in life, says Johnny Thomsen.

Following the resignation of Randers FC, Ricardo Moniz was employed as the coach of the Slovak club AS Trencin, but here he said his job a couple of weeks ago. The Dutchman in connection with his resignation accused the judges of Slovakia of being corrupt. 

So with the local Derby tomorrow I thought I would ask what’s the best Notts county v Mansfield match you have seen.?

So Notts County v Mansfield is about 12  away what dose everyone think the score will be.?

So this Saturday is the local Derby as Notts travel to Mansfield who’s making the trip this Saturday to cheer the lads on.  

So as reported on Pon Matt Tootle and Ben Hall have suffered injury set backs  as Neal Ardley admitted both suffered the injury last week while Tootle just requires time to let the pain heal Ben Hall required a scan Halls injury came on Neals first day of being in charge not the best way to welcome the new boss. 

A link for the full article is below. 

Neal Ardley has given fans a update via the evening post on the injured three. 

Well it seems that strike partners John stead and Kane Hemmings are on there way back to full fitness and won’t be long but it may be a  while for Lewis Alexandra who is still facing some time on the side line. 

While Enzio is is 12 weeks away depending on how his knee response to treatment.

I don't want this to become another thread on how long Harry Kewell has left, however I am concerned my name might be changed again and that leaves me wondering if that does happen. Will I run out of the allocated amount of username changes?

There are no players I consider to be legends to me, so KingVaughan seems just as short lived as Kewell might.

Whats everyone's favourite chant? Just recently I have noticed that no creative ones are being sung anymore and with Mansfield coming up I think we should bring some of the old ones back. 

At away games all we seem to sing is 'All Notts aren't We' and 'Nottingham Nottingham Nottingham'.

Think we should be more creative and start making a few up but it's hard to get them going if no one wants to join in. 

So I’ve noticed that Ross Fitzsimmons and Jamie Turley seem to have an understanding when defending. 

In the last match, at meadow lane ,when Carlisle pressed us, Ross and Jamie would pass back to each other, remain calm and deal with the situation calmly and effective,ly. 

Jamie like Ross was also very vocal in arranging the defence for set pieces and so forth. They had a trust in each other that defender and goal keeper need. The team work for me is a positive sign for defence that it’s improving. 

I know that we have conceded 2 late goals i the 85th minute but that’s not their fault. I genuinely believe they are doing their best for the team and the understanding and team work with them is helping.

So hopefully by the time that we play our first league match of December Neal Ardley would have been in charge of his first game so he should hopefully getting to grips with the squad. 

He dose have a lot to do a mountain to climb some say but I’m hoping he can achieve a few points in December.

I would just like to share my experience with one of PON's sponsors and encourage anyone that needs laptop or desktop repairs to visit Kev. He also sells refurbished computers and laptops which are a very good price for the quality of product.

I was looking to buy a laptop and found one through his social media page for a very respectable price at 100 pounds. It is a HP laptop with Windows 10, I5 processor and 4GB of RAM I believe. Not only am I very happy with the product but also extremely happy with the service. I messaged him on Thursday and by Saturday I had it in my possession. A very quick and fair purchase. I had never visited Kev before but will be visiting again for any repairs or refurbished products again. I would 100% recommend for any PON users that are having issues or want to buy a decent laptop for a cheap price. Very quick service and can get problems rectified pretty sharpish. 

Thanks Everyone!
