Can you lovely guys and girls join in Welcoming @Mick90 to pon. 

So today I was thinking about the international scene and how currently Harry Kane is captain of England but not of his club. 

My question is should the England captain need to be captain of his club first before becoming England captain.?

Slocombe 6 - Safe and steady when called upon

Brindley 8 - What a debut. Looked comfortable in possession and defending. Gets forward well too

Graham 7 - Did well in possession. Won his headers. Calm assured performance 

Turner 7 - Strong game from the fridge till he was subbed 

McCrory 7 - Got forward well. Did really well defensively when we went down to 10

Boldewijn 5 - Worked hard in parts. 

O'Brien 9 - Played a continent splitting ball to Thomas for the goal. Ran the show. Unreal performance 

Doyle 4 - Was fine until the sending off. Will have to look at the replay to sit if it was a red. Thankfully it didn't do too much damage to us

Rose 7 - Has this thing of not playing great in the first half and then turns into Marco Verratti in the second half. 

Thomas 7 - Pulled Halifax defenders out of position and was an all round nuisance for Halifax but please just take a chance in front of goal

Wootton 9 - Bordering on 10. Magnificent. Won everything and scored. No Wootton no party

Subs

Booty 6 - Did what he had to do when he was subbed on. Got us going on the counter when Halifax came forward

Rawlinson 6 - Covered well for Turner

Lets be constructive a little here okay, I want members to name 3 players who have stood out for all the right reasons and 3 who haven't.

Leave a short sentence about why and how they can improve.

Standout players for me.

Kristian Dennis: When started he's looked lively, always looking like a goal threat and despite not starting he has stood out for me.
Jim O'Brien: A few under par performances but generally a driving force within the Notts squad this season.
Dion Kelly-Evans: A good performer, probably more of a winger than a defender but he gives a lot of width to the squad.

Standout players who need to improve.

Enzio Boldewijn: I accept he's weak at defending and may not like it, however when he under performs which is often, he doesn't carry the team it carries him.
Michael Doyle: Not as good as promoted by the club or some of its fans, he could use his experience in a wiser way but is often wasteful with his decision making.
Ben Turner: He doesn't look fit in my eyes, generally struggles but does okay. He could be on the other end of the spectrum with a little more application I feel.

He seems to hope so:

its been on at home and i have casually watched, some of the games have been quite entertaining. usa look a very good team with their passing, finishing for most of the squads had been questionable and the same could be said about the defending.

its just a shame var slows down what already is a pretty slow and scrappy standard of football.

can the fa/premier/football league do more to save football clubs?

i think so, they have implemented a fair play rule but clubs are still flirting with extinction by over spending. if i was to pin the blame, i would say it falls down to naive owners/boards/chairman and whatever division that team plays. i know bolton has historic debt ran up from their time in the premier league but how can anyone allow them to operate so wastefully?

will it take burys expulsion from the football league, to get them to become tougher on the finances?

or does football need to lose a few more teams, such as bolton to shake the sport? 

It doesn't sound like a transfer by the way The Post has written it, get past some of the school boy mistakes in it. You would feel he's no replacement for Ross Fitzsimon but just the club doing him a favour.

Would you prefer Liam O'Brien signing?

Manager Sol Campbell has left League Two side Macclesfield Town by mutual consent after eight months in charge.

The 44-year-old former England defender took over in november 2018 with the Silkmen bottom of League Two.

Campbell kept them in the English Football League thanks to a run of just two defeats in their final 10 games.

"Macclesfield Town gave me a great beginning in the managerial side of the game and fantastic learning curve which I am truly grateful for," he said.

"I would like to thank all the players and staff for their support during my time at the Moss Rose and also all the loyal fans, whose belief at the end of last season ultimately played a tangible role in our success."

Campbell began his managerial career four years after describing the lack of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) managers in English football.

Following his appointment, Campbell said he had before he eventually landed the job at Macclesfield.

His departure, which Macclesfield said had been agreed "in the most amicable of ways", is the first managerial exit from any club in England's top four divisions this season.
