I'll kick it off.

The 4th ref holding up the one sided board. 

On nine times out of ten, he forgets to turn it towards the Pavis stand. Why not have a double sided one like in the league?!?!

Not really new as such. More of a revisit to an old friend!

Hope all is well here on PoN and everyone is enjoying, what is now, an excellent resource for Notts fans.

I hope to drop in a little more in the future to add my voice to the conversations.

Site is looking good and forum seems to be ticking along nicely so praise goes to all of you. The team behind PoN at the moment and the regulars who drop in daily, and also to the not so regulars who still make valuable contributions.

Best wishes one and all.

Game 35 - The Cardinals (H)

Team: Woking

Date: 15/02/2020

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Neal Ardley 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.

What's your favourite song associated about football?

Name the manager of Notts from the year you was born?

Name the manager of Notts when you started following them?

Mine would be..

Year I was born: Mick Walker

When I started following Notts: Gudjon Thordason

McDonnell 6 - Did well on corners to combat the physical threat and made a good save 2nd half

Brindley 5 - If you want a sunbed to lay on for 90 minutes tell me. On occasions the guy is on it but games like today he isn't

Rawlinson 6 - Did alright to battle Alex Wall and showed a bit of urgency in the 2nd half. Nobody gave him an option to pass to

Bird 7 - Comfortable on the ball. Always trying to get us going and provided an option when playing out from the back. A really solid game. 

Kelly-Evans 5 - Not on it today. Lethargic first half and didn't get forward enough 

Roberts 9 - Best player on the pitch by a country mile. Everything went through him. A delight to watch

Rose 5 - Poor passes and not effective enough. Made one good pass for the penalty that should have been but on the whole nothing startling

O'Brien 5 - Good link up play first 15 minutes then just got lost

Boldewijn 5 - Not much of note until he started to run at players in the 2nd half. Shouldn't have taken him 70 minutes to do so though 

Dennis 7 - Always looked to make a run, linked up the play well and got the equaliser 

Wootton 5 - Not a great game for Kyle. Poor first touch and should have easily scored after like 10 minutes

We all do it, there's some classic or cheesy song that we sing but don't actually know the full words. I remember seeing the Peter Kay sketch, it reminded me - as I have been listening to the Corrs a lot lately.

Breathless....

I always heard as "So go on, go on
Come on leave me Bradley."

It's actually,

So go on, go on
Come on leave me breathless. ????

Saw this on the 11 Freunde Facebook page, and thought it was time to revive the lookalikes thread.

WW and assistant                                                                                                                        WW and assistant

(One WW is Wolfgang Wolf, manager of Lokomotive Leipzig. But which one? )

It is already round 34, so we're slowly but surely reaching the business end of the season. Are Notts going straight back up? Will Liverpool go the season unbeaten? Can Florist at least stay out of the Premier League, for heaven's sake? And, more importantly, who will win the prediction league? There are still 378 points up for grabs, so it's all to play for

As usual, write your scores and a joker below by Saturday at 3. In the event of disputes, the Sausage's decision is final.

Gillingham v Doncaster Rovers

Bristol Rovers v Blackpool

Excelsior Rotterdam has decided to terminate the contract with head coach Ricardo Moniz immediately. A nasty decision, but the club believes that something else is needed to turn the tide.

The club has decided to put an end to the collaboration because of the disappointing results and the large backlog of direct promotion. That is why we now want to focus on achieving the play-offs.

We want to thank Ricardo for his passion, drive and commitment.

https://www.tremr.com/1862kb-/is-there-a-curse-on-england-goalkeepers

I wrote the above article months ago and following recent criticisms of Pickford and who should be number one for England, i thought it'd be relevant to bring it up.

Me personally, Pickford does good for England but clearly lacking confidence so would you want a low confidence keeper in a major tournament when Henderson and Pope are in good form?

On the news a second ago, was a segment where Doddie Wier, Rob Burrow and Stephen Darby (who played on loan at Notts in 2010/2011) spoke about their battle with MND (Motor neurone disease).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-7995207/Doddie-Weir-Rob-Burrow-Stephen-Darby-unite-discuss-living-motor-neurone-disease.html

Motor neurone diesase is a rare condition that attacks the brain and it nerves. It slowly kills the person from the inside, taking away their speech and bodily functions. It's a saddening illness, which I have witnessed during my time working in a specialist care home for people with brain injuries.

It's good to see the three sufferers teaming up to promote awareness.

I don't know if this has been a topic before or not, but what was your first Notts match?

It was a 2-1 win with goals by Ameobi, Grant and a own goal by Hollis.

So for NFL fans, tonight sees the start of XFL mark 2!

Looks to be far more stable and promising than last time around.

Apart from the combine, the next couple of months normally drag for us NFL fans until the draft comes round in April.

Hopefully the XFL will offer something for fans to talk about.

Anyone else out there going to watch? What team and how did you pick them?

Not much has happened this week for me, I worked monday to friday. 

Had moments where I've been low and not wanted to do anything just stay at home and listen to music loudly, while no one was in. 

Spent Friday night and all of yesterday with @ARLukomski. Went to Yeovil yesterday, it was one of the most interesting matches that I have seen, it was definitely worth the win. 

Back to normal tomorrow. How has your week been? 

Do you feel that Football Radar have made any benefits for Notts since the new owners came in? Is it the future of football?

Tracking players, using stats and information to unearth future stars? Can it replace the way coaches see young players with potential?

whatever the outcome of this season is, i do feel notts are progressing in the right way and this comes largely down to the staff/owners for me who are doing fantastic work.

the players seem settled, and i think saturday shown we can rely on the squad.

there might be further bumps, but i am so pleased to feel like we have a club again. its amazing to see us signing players like wootton and roberts.

does it feel like we are becoming a competitive, forward thinking club to you?

Hello @chipmunx, nice to be welcoming a Barrow fan to the community here.  

McDonnell 8 - Made some important saves and including an awesome one late on

Kelly-Evans 9 - Defended resiliently and gave Remeao Hutton a hard time (Hutton was Yeovil's biggest outlet)

Rawlinson 9 - A pure champion. Great with the ball at his feet. Scored and got an assist too

Lacey 8 - Headed everything out. As cool as 10 cucumbers never mind just 1

McCrory 7 - Stuck to his responsibilites in the 1st half and resolute as the 3rd CB in the 2nd half

Shields 6 - Battled away first half before being subbed

O'Brien 8 - Controlled the flow of Notts' tempo before we had to change things around. Part of the defensive resistant second half

Crawford 8 - Ran his socks, boots and studs off and was absolutely shattered by the end. Continuenly closed down Hutton, got us going on the counter attack on occasions, linked up the play really well and should have had a penalty when through on goal 

Osborne 7 - Pressed well first half against Dicko. Sometimes got his feet muddled up but linked up well with DKE and made runs with the ball into the area

Dennis 7 - Always looking for them runs and chased down the Yeovil defence

Thomas 4 - Did his best to get involved in the game and link up the play. Was stupid for the red

Brindley 7 - Part of the resistance 2nd half. Cleared it when needed

Wootton 8 - Added energy to our attack and got in some good positions resulting in a goal. Started us on the counter attack and held the ball up excellently. Got back to defend too

Rose 7 - Defended well when he came on. Resistant Rose

A truly brilliant performance. Warriors
