what do you think it means being a rational notts fan? are you?

i think i am and a lot of pon members seem to be pretty rational too. i just dont see the attraction to thinking negative for a considerable amount of time, i may have the occasional moan but i dont think i border the extremes that i see on social media.

So another defeat on the road I want to ask this and I would love people to be honest who fault do you think it is the defence or the goalkeeper.?

Fitzsimmons - 2 - Made a few reaction saves. Glued to his line, doesn't command the area. Proceeded to kick the ball out / to their keeper constantly. Not sure if it's him who doesn't help his defence out or the other way around, suspect it's both.

Hewitt - 0 - NOT A RIGHT BACK. We saw that during Moniz's reign. Passing abysmal.

Duffy - 0 - What the actual ****.

Brisley - 0 - Not even worth explaining.

Jones - 0 - Would give him less if I could. Can't defend, passing/crossing was worse than Hewitt's. Should have pulled an amber top on as he was more use to them than he was us.

Enzio - 8 - Only bright spark. Gets the ball, runs, beats his man and crosses. 

Husin - 5 - Don't think he was great but not particularly awful either.

Vaughan - 3 - Not sure what use he is. Stands off his man, can't tackle, dilly dallys on the ball. Waste of a shirt.

Thomas - 3 - Didn't really work for him today, some poor decisions/touches, but kept trying.

Stead - 5 - Devoid of any real balls anywhere near him. Must be thanking his full backs for the excellent service they provided him..........

Hemmings - 6 - As with Stead, but scored. 

Dennis - 6 - Came on and scored.
Patching - 5 - Was OK

Nolan - 1 - Not sure what he can do with that defence as it's piss poor, but can't blame him for stupid mistake like Duffy's. There is 0 cover for right back, we need 2 fit CBs and probably a left back. Time to dip into the loan market ASAP before we write this season off.


Made Newport look like Barcelona. Piss poor showing from Notts and needs changing.
 

So after yet another loss this time at the hands of Newport away. Are there any possitives that we can take out of tonight’s game. ? 

Game 4 - The Exiles (A)

Team: Newport County

Date: 21/08/18

What line-up should Kevin Nolan 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.

After another loss I find my self going through the normal emotions but every time I want to give up I look at this picture   and I remember what this pic means to me ..! it tells me that I’m a supporter of this club is right I look at that picture see pride and honour and something I’m dam proud to be apart of .. and I don’t have a ounces of give up in me and that I know the boys will come good. It reminds that if you are a County fan you better strap your self in cause we never get anything easy.. we are the magpies the flag and logo I’m proud to stand aside it.

Guys would you help me welcome @KingPie to Pon great to have you on board.

can we all welcome our lastest edition to the community @DonnyNotts please guys and girls. 

Hello,

I am Smithy, I have supported Notts since I was 11 years old. I am a season ticket holder in the KOP and I'm 18. I look forward to joining in with the discussions.

Good morning PoN it’s a lovely bright morning here, leaving football aside how is everyone?

We are still on our little holiday with the grandchildren, it’s costing an arm and a leg but we’re having a great time. Apart from the fact that I woke up at 3am with raging stomach ache, it was the greasy fish and chips I had yesterday that were reminding me I’m suppose to be eating healthily but it’s tradition to have fish and chips at the seaside isn’t it?

Today we are off to a wildlife park (more expense, how do people afford kids these days), yesterday we had to pay adult price for our grandchildren at the aquarium because they were over 12! Since when have over 12’s been adults? RIP off if you ask me.

So what’s everyone else doing today, anything exciting?

I need a bit of help guys I’m setting a pop up burger grille. It’s going to at meadow lane as soon  as I can and around nottingham at food fair and pubs etc. The burgers and brisket are hand made the burgers are a blend of different cuts of beeF. But i need to ask what u guys thinks of the food (burgers) inside meadow lane and Around. Do you think it’s to expensive for what you get. And finally what would you be happy to pay and what would you wxsoect for that money. Here are a few example of what I like to serve and will be serving. in your opinion would they do well. If you think that my product wouldn’t sell or not right for football or where I plan please say guys your feed is appreciated please be honest guys this is my market Research thanks in advance guys.

Results haven't been great as of late, many fans are asking big questions of a back 4 who look like conceding for fun. But if you were Kevin Nolan what would you do? Change tactics, formation, players or style of play? 

For me I'd change the style of play because we don't have the same target men we had last season in Stead and Ameobi together. I'd play a passing game, use it to our advantage with Dennis and Hemmings up front playing to feet could benefit them. David Vaughan as a midfielder can pick a pass or 2. I'd also consider going into the loan market and enquire about new goalkeeper as Fitzsimmons doesn't look confident in goal as shown against Middlesbrough when he should of demanded the box better for 2 of their goals. Ben Hall when fit should be slotted into that back 4 replacing Duffy, bring in Bird to replace Brisley. Crawford/Patching should be given a chance to freshen up that midfield and bring something new to the team with a passing game. Possibility of reverting to a 5-3-2 formation which worked well for England in the World Cup with Nathan Thomas as a left wing back to cover the defence which will help solidify them. Right wing back would be up for anyone as Enzio might not be the capable player to play that position as he's attacking based. If there was a 5-3-2 change

Anyone watching the game on IFollow or attending in person? If so safe travels and lets hope for 3pts.

Good morning PoN, I hope everyone is well. This is our second day in our static on the coast we had a very comfortable night, only just woke up 8.30 must be a record for me.

It’s matchday today whose going, whose listening? I’ll be trying to catch up on the score on my phone, let’s hope we put Friday behind us and kick start the season.

Whats everyone up to, let PoN know.

TV sizes are becoming ridiculously big, here in the states it's not uncommon to see them 60inchs or above now. There's no need to sit right up to the TV anymore is there?

So, what TV do you own and how big is it?

Remember size doesn't matter. 

Good morning PoN, it’s a cloudy start here but dry and warm. I’m up early because we are off to the coast with our eldest grandchildren, we’ve got a static van for the week. We’ve just got to pack the last things in the car then pick the kids up, I say kids but they’re teenagers now, time flies.

Thanks to everyone who engages in the daily chat thread it’s doing really well, I hope to continue whilst away but don’t forget anyone can start the thread so if you come on the forum and it isn’t there feel free to start it.

Have a great day and let us know what your day holds for you.

Guys would you join me in welcoming our newest member @Lynn MacLean to our community

As the topic title says, is the US ways of doing things taking over?

American words sneaking into the English language, people referring to items in shops as "merchandise" and many other things. Thoughts?

Which player has been the biggest disappointment so far and why?

It's early days, players can and most likely will improve but until then I would like to know what the PON community thinks.

Is anyone currently reading a book? if so name what it is and a brief outline of what you think about it.

I do tend to read a book between driving and transporting goods across America, the free time I have is limited as to what I can do but I enjoy a good book.

So my question is simple how do you eat your steak.?
