Time to turn my attention to the Euros now that Notts are done for the season. I watched Wales vs Switzerland. Wales were lucky to draw in the end. Bale and Ramsey didn't turn up. Their keeper, Danny Ward, was superb, kept them in it. They need a big improvement to beat Turkey. 

It was frightening to see Christian Erikkson collapse on the pitch. Thankfully he's stable. Denmark decided to finish the game and perhaps it's no surprise that they lost 1-0 to Finland. They missed a penalty that Erikkson would have taken and probably have scored but some things are more important than football. 

With pre season starting on Monday is anyone getting concerned with the lack of noise coming from Meadow Lane with regards to incoming signings? I know the season doesn’t start for a few weeks but there was a lot of noise made about getting business done early and having the squad in place by the start of pre season that doesn’t appear to be the case now. Appreciate that players try to hang on for as long as possible before signing but I think the longer the players get to train with Ian Burchnall the more chance we have to getting the good start required.

Jim O'Brien has agreed on a new two year deal.

Very nearly had me fooled  with spoof account

a fan on facebook mentioned to me that he would have brooks as the backup and not sign a third goalkeeper. i think it would generate an interesting conversation as it is an area where we could save a bit of money whilst giving game time to a player that would only get better. would you have tiernan brooks as the backup keeper?

I wouldn’t bother with a backup keeper, as I’d make the young Brooks as actual backup.

the only concern i have is those fans who are impatient and angry, a keeper needs to be confident and they are always open to heavy criticism which might be to much for him.
