Good morning pinch, punch, first of the month and all that, winter is fast approaching I noticed that Goose Fair was setting up the other day when I went past, time marches on, it’ll soon be Halloween, Bonfire Night, Christmas and that’ll be another year over.

Anyway back to today, we are going shopping to Lidl for our weekly shop this morning, then I might pop to the pet shop to get some tropical fish to top up the tank, I also need some new running shoes, I reckon it’s time I’ve had these for two years and they’ve ran some miles now.

Have a good day folks.

Who was your Man of the Match for Notts County's League Two home game against Crewe Alexandra?

Game 10 - The Alex (H)

Team: Crewe Alexandra

Date: 29/09/18

Where: Meadow Lane

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.

Finally our first win! Not the prettiest but we got the job done! Based on /10.

Fitzsimmons - 6/10 - Made a few decent saves, finally looks like hes starting to get his confidence back. Few questions asked at time regarding catching but apart from that he played well.

Evina - 7/10 - Brilliant assist for Hewitt's headed goal. He looks a decent unit with pace and with attack and drive constantly on his mind. I think DJ will struggle to get ahead of him now.

Turley - 6/10 - Again solid at the back. Was slightly at fault for Crewe's goal but nothing major. He's the defender we've been waiting for. 

Ward - 7/10 - Solid from him again. No questions asked. His experience is key for Notts at the back.

Tootle - 5/10 - Effort was 10/10 but can't help but think at the back of my mind he's not the player he was last year. Average for me.

Boldewjin - 5/10 - He is such a quality player but sometimes lacks effort. Off the ball he is lazy imo but when he's on the ball he explodes with life and confidence. Seems to shy away from the dirty work but if that is part of the game plan then so be it. 

Hewitt - 7/10 - Much improved from recent weeks. Brilliant headed goal at the back post and completely left Crewe's defence for dead on that one. He should be proud of his performance today. 

Milsom - 7/10 - Did his job well, took his goal well. He is proving to be just the player we need in the middle of the park. 

Alessandra - 5/10 - Played ok but not outstanding, he sometimes misses the obvious passes and goes more complex and it doesn't work out. Hopefully he can stay in form and keep putting the effort in. Think his style of play will make him thrive under Kewell.

Hemmings - 5/10 - Effort 100% again. Unlucky not to get a goal and think he will hit some serious form soon.

Stead - 5/10 - Great captain again! Fouled countless times but never got given any credit. Again effort was there but struggled to get through Crewe's defence. Look very very tired post 75 minutes. 

I think we played OK at best but it was important for us to get a win and we have done. 3pts in the bag and hopefully a few more to come. 

Let me know your thoughts down below. 

Does anyone else think that the injuries to the likes of David Vaughan and Richard Duffy is the club trying to remove them from the negativity surrounding their performances? The latest PONcast had me thinking that it might just be management of the players who are sensitive towards the criticism.

I don't know how Pindroch injured himself in training but even after he looked fine.

Same as David Vaughan who was warming up and it seems to be the players that have the most vocal criticism. People seem to defend Elliott Hewitt despite him being woeful and yet he still gets game time over the likes of Will Patching and Tom Crawford.

Thoughts?

So this weeks guess the magpie done by the gaffer is here. The answer will be revealed Saturday night good luck every one and happy guessing folks. 

Good morning PoN a cloudy start and quite a lot cooler.

We’ve not got much on today after a busy few days, it’s time to relax and have a lazy day.

We’ve got some nice roast pork for dinner later with sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce accompaniment, really looking forward to that.

Are you having a lazy day or doing something exciting? Let PoN know.

So my question is what was your first Notts away game.?

The Pride of Nottingham PONcast Episode 43 has now been released.

Join @Chris and @samwatto2008 has they discuss all the least Notts County news.

In this week's episode we discuss the 0-0 draw at the Sixfield stadium against Northampton Town.

We talk about the fighting spirit shown by Notts and analysis of the overall performance - along with the confidence in the magpies' camp.

In addition we touch upon the injury list, how we foresee those players doing once returning to the squad selection and talk about the likes of Elliott Hewitt, who seems a shadow of the player he was last season.

Finally, we look ahead to the weekend's fixture at Meadow Lane against Crewe Alexandra.

All this and more only in episode 43 of the Pride of Nottingham PONcast!

What do you think about the discussion?

Have your say on this weeks Pride of Nottingham PONcast.

Not sure this has been posted before, I couldn't see it, apparently Alan Hardy is the 29th most wealthy football club owner according to the Daily Mirror.

I thought we could start a new game Called guess the attendance. simply just guess the attendance at this Saturdays Game  .. including away fans. I’ll announce the winner Saturday night the closest to the actual number wins good luck guys 

Good morning PoN it’s going to be another sunny start when the sun comes up which it will have by the time you lot get out of your pit. 

I’m going on my Saturday Park Run this week I’ll be accompanied by my son, daughter in law and Grandson George who has been doing the junior park run 2k and wants to do the proper grown up 5k version, daughter in law is reluctantly running with him to make sure he’s ok.

Later of course I’m going to the match and taking George and his brother Freddie, I hope they behave and let me watch the match properly it’s only the second time I’ve taken them both.

By the way if you normally park on the embankment forget it as it’s closed I need preparation for the marathon tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning PoN I’m afraid you all failed my little test yesterday to see if you were awake, I put the wrong date on the Daily Chat Thread, well actually i confess it was a mistake so I’ve slapped myself on the wrist. 

Its a lovely bright morning again and set to be dry but cooler than yesterday, which will be good because we are doing a long walk today to do some maintenance on our geocaches which are miles from any parking, we’re taking some sandwiches and a drink and making a day of it. Anyone else into geocaching?

Have a great day folks.
