  1. So my question is would you change the defence when everyone is fit or leave is as it is.? 

    This isn’t aimed at any player just a question .. as my grandad (also a County fan)  always said if its not broke don’t fix it.?

  2. Has anyone been or is going to Goose Fair this year?

    I don’t think we’ll bother, we sometimes go just to have a wander round but the rides are very expensive and I often wonder how safe they are.

    Who was your Man of the Match for Notts County's League Two game at Macclesfield Town?

  4. So that is it ... I don't want him running the club anymore. I am aware of the saying 'Be careful what you wish for' but I have had enough of him.

    He is an arrogant, selfish, dangerous and heartless man. His twitter rant last night about driving tipped me over the edge. Frustrating isn't the word, if he is the ambassador of the club then we might as well pack our bags now!

    He overtook the supporters bus and a small white van on double white lines yesterday. He then tried to defend his actions by saying he does a lot of miles and hasn't had a crash yet. Bit hypocritical though considering that he is going to court to testify against his speeding fines and faces a ban from driving 77mph in a 40 zone. He seems to think the rules don't apply to him. He then went on a rant about how old people are shocking drivers which is such a generic comment to make and isn't true.

    I also caught him on his phone coming out of Sixfields the other week and I have just had enough of the bloke to be honest. He is a ... think you can fill in the blank.

    The fact he has George in net too at half time makes us look like a laughing stock. So kids get to score a goal past George? Whoopy Do ... thats such an achievement. Stick Max Culverwell in net or something make it something entertaining. Also the KOP and Pavis cheer every time he concedes which is just setting the kid up to fail bless him. Not fair on him. 

    I want him gone! End of! Such a poor role model and ambassador for the club ... embarrassing.

  5. Can anyone explain or try to make understanding of why Harry Kewell played Shaun Brisley in midfield against Macclesfield Town?

  6. So next saturdays Home tie against Oldham now to take place on the 6th November due to international call ups. 

    Dont know about you guys but this is daft yes Oldham have 3 players called up but not first team players but squad players. 

    Thoughts ladies and gentleman 

  7. Away days are fantastic I love em don’t matter what ground .. Macclesfield was my first (today) and I loved it despite looking through the goal net for 90 minutes it was worth it seeing the goal go in was awesome no words could describe.. I’ve got a few grounds I want to tick off this season.

    Anyone else have any away day grounds they want to kick off.?

  8. So my question is as above is Fitzsimons starting to look like our number one.? 

  9. So forest green rovers are still undefeated as they drew 1-1 with Newport after 12 games. 

    So my question is as follows ... 

    Could Forest Green win the league/gain promotion.? 

    How long will they go undefeated for.? 

  10. Fitzsimons 7.5 Joint Motm Fantastic save at the end to preserve the 3 points. Well protected and produced the saves when needed

    Tootle 6 More assured though still not getting into attacking positions as he was last season

    Turley 6 Does what it says on the tin. Dont take chances if there is danger

    Ward 6 Positions himself well, reads the game well and is alert to danger

    Evina 6 Always uses the ball well, defensive duties without too much worry

    Hewitt 6 winning midfield headers and cover tackling back. Still passing has a lot to be desired

    Brisley 3 Looking lost in the role he was asked to do. Surprised he wasn't subbed at half time

    Boldewijn 6 Always look the only live wire at times, nice penalty won but was initially from his own mistake... Defensive duties on a par with Stanley ...not strong enough at times

    Alessandra 6 Looking far more settled, but still always checks. Had a good chance to shoot but bottled it

    Stead 7.5 Joint Motm with Fitz... Proves that you need a tall striker in this division...what was Nolan thinking? Nicely taken penalty when keeper expected the ball to his left

    Hemmings 5.5 missed a sitter...works hard but lacks the clinical finish in front of goal

     

     

  11. Morning all, it’s a bright sunny start so far, temperatures are due to climb the next few days so it’s an ideal time to set off in our camper van.

    We are meeting up with around 25 friends at a campsite in Derbyshire for a little get together and some fun and laughter.

    Have a great day whatever you are doing.

      Overall, we can’t moan too much. We needed to play ugly and hard to win for a while, so can’t really complain when we do just that. Pleased by Enzio and Stead and Fritz looking solid. It seems, for the moment, we have a good formula. The test, which Nolan failed imo, is the ability to change it up when needed because we don’t want to become reliant on the ugly wins. We want to win convincingly. At the moment HK is playing it safe. Hence the Brisley game. By all accounts he wasted the shirt so will Kate HK think more seriously about how we change it up.

      I am more than happy with the three points, over the performance. Winning pretty is great but there is a lot of satisfaction from winning ugly.

      80th minute mark I felt like the game would end up a tie and the win can be thankful for the excellent save by Fitzsimons. I hope he has overcome the blip he went through. Beating Macclesfield is a good result but the performances away from home do need work.

  13. So it’s monday and that means it’s guess the magpie. @Chris has prepared another one for us this week I’ll reveal the magpie Saturday night. The very best of luck guys and girls.E3B80E5D-BC1D-49AD-9421-F9750472D898.jpeg

      Neither do I mate, women’s football is really dire and almost comical.

      Yeah I do, I think the new ladies team is a good idea but those that wanted the last ones gone just make me cringe when they get behind the new one like nothings happened.

      did anyone else think the club focused too much on promoting this game than macclesfield? i hope the ladies do well for notts but england ladies bores me.

  15. Good morning everyone. It’s a bright sunny start but a bit chilly, in fact a lot chilly. I hope we are all feeling good after yesterday’s third win on the trot?

    I am tempted to go for a little run this morning, I’ll see what I feel like after breakfast. Later I need to get our camper van ready for a camping trip we are going on tomorrow. Not much else on today so it’ll be a nice restful Sunday.

    Whats everyone else’s plans for today?

  16. So as the title above says Sport Australia Hall Of Fame , been announced on OS that the boss Harry Kewell is to be inducted into the above mentioned Hall Of Fame , well done first for that , a good reflection of his career thus far as a player at both club and international levels . Hope he continues to develop into a top boss also and who knows what other awards could come his way , and ours . Nice one Harry 

  17. So it’s matchday two of the champions league which are our English teams start there second out of six games: 

    Tuesday 2/10/18 

    Manchester United v Valencia  kick off 8pm

    Hoffeniem v Manchester City kick off 8pm

     

    wednesday 3/10/18 

    Napoli v Liverpool kick off 8pm

    Barcelona v spurs kick off 8pm 

     

    it should be a good week for champions league football.

    As spurs tackle Barcelona could they do what Liverpool did in match day one and beat the big dog in there group after defeat at Inter Milan a win is imperative. 

    Can Liverpool continue there champions league momentum and earn back to back wins.

    can Jose put the defeat to Derby and West Ham behind them and continue there 100% start to the champions league against Valencia.  

    Man City will be looking to beat Hoffenheim in match day two after a shock defeat to Lyon on match day one.  

    Which game are you most looking forward or which will you be watching.?

  18. Good morrow fine people. I’m feeling tons better this morning my cold has almost dried up.

    Its match day and a bit wet out there, normally on Saturday I would be doing a park run but with my recent illness and the weather I’ve decided to give it a rest this week.

    We’ve got a sofa being delivered this morning, Mrs Big Tone only ordered it yesterday and it’s coming between 8-11 am this morning, we’re going to ring a charity and hopefully they’ll take the old one which is a bit saggy now.

    Later i’ll be listening to Charlie commentate on Notts game, I hope Stallard is back this week I like him although John Thompson did a good stand in job.

    Safe travels to those going to the match. Let’s hope we get another 3 points. YOUPIES!

    I’ve decided to have a winner for the total number of fans as a whole and separate one for the away fans so please have a go at both please guys. 

    Good luck to everyone guys and girls 

  20. So Fifa 19 has officially been released and I’ve started a career with the magpies I thought about getting a new keeper than I noticed the rating ... which stopped me I my tracks ... pindroch rated higher than fitzsimons.. opinions welcome guys in this one I can’t figure it out 😂 cheers guys and girls20604CCC-8B55-4E95-BF88-BEA6EE13249F.png

  21. Based on /10. Brilliant 3-1 win over a strong free scoring Crawley.

    Fitzsimmons 7/10 - Good saves made and calmed the game down when Crawley were looking strong. Another convincing performance that shows he is putting his old woes behind him.

    Tootle 6/10 - Good runs made and covered well with their quick winger. Improved performance.

    Turley 6/10 - I do like Brisely but I can't help but think that Turley has been the difference in the defence. He is not afraid to shout and command and is a real hustle and bustle type of player in the defence. Should keep his place.

    Ward 6/10 - Again quality, experience showed at times and dealt with Ollie Palmer well, he was kept quiet most of the game.

    Evina 5/10 - Went pretty quiet throughout the game, popped up sometimes with the odd deadly ball into the box but apart from that didn't see much of him.

    Boldewjin 7/10 - Rapid pace and Crawley couldn't do anything about him. Simply couldn't defend him today. Just had no real scoring opportunity.

    Milsom 3/10 - Silly red card! He played OK but the red card was deserved and can't help but think he has let himself and the team down. Left them with a lot of work to do.

    Hewitt 7/10 - He has silenced the doubters especially me. Played well and he often pops up in the oppositions area without being detected which can be dangerous for them. He did well tonight and deserves a beer or two.

    Alessandra 6/10 - Effort was 100% tonight, his first instinct is to pass which is good but also when he gets right in front of goal I feel sometimes he is afraid to pull the trigger. Maybe should work on his shooting a bit more to boost his confidence as I think he has a right cannon on him sometimes.

    Stead 6.5/10 - I think he will struggle at Macclesfield, he looks good but the poor lad needs a rest I think, hes gone by 60 minutes. Took his goal superbly and glad he got the goal, he is a real fans favourite at the moment but give the poor lad a rest. 

    Hemmings 7/10 - Adapted to RM a few times and defended well when required. Stayed calm and didn't fluff his chance to take his goal. His is playing well and Is just the striker we need. Lost the ball a few times though which was disappointing the fact he gave it away so cheaply but I guess that is league two for you.

     

    Let me know your ratings down below and if you agree or disagree with mine. 

  22. So yesterday County got there first three points of the season against Crewe at meadow lane.

    But the phrase Game if two half’s has to be said the first half wasn’t fantastic we scored in the first 10 mins (4 minutes in actually) but we slowly lost momentum but held on for half time. 

    Then the second half attacking the kop they looked like the second half side I have watched last season. As they was like a team possessed they played hard in attack they look good in defence it was like Harry had changed all 11 players at half time. 

    It was unbelievable after 3/4 attempts we found the second goal and from there we continued to attack we didn’t slow down infact we looked to find a third which unfortunately we didn’t get but we did enough to earn the 3 points.

  23. Just recently I’ve been thinking about players and managers.. the one thing I’ve come to is that players have job security in comparison to a coach or a manger.

    we see it all the time if a team performs poorly it’s the gaffer than suffers by being sacked.

     where players don’t get sacked maybe released at the end of the season .. but if they perform poor under one manager they get a second chance with the new manager.

    Am i the only one who thinks this isn’t right and that why should players almost be guaranteed a job and managers are sacked.

    whats your thoughts guys on this please?
