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. 

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.

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?

Does some "fans" selectively support the club and certain players?

I have seen players who have been rightfully scrutinised for their performances and players who have done well, yet not quite fitted in with the previous managers tactics get harsh criticism which does seem unfair. I get that people see things differently and that some with have their favourites, I just feel that there are a minority of fans that are quite selective with their support.

This does extend to the club itself, it seems when Notts are winning everyone wants to know but they soon disappear when it's tough.

So Notts County take on Crawley on Tuesday night at meadow lane who’s coming to the second home evening game of the season. ?

So I said the next three games were crucial ..

we beat Crewe on Saturday and will face Crawley tomorrow night. 

Then Macclesfield away on Saturday how many points do you think we will get from  The two other games and can we keep the momentum going .? 

Good morning it’s a cloudy, dry, mild morning here, I’m feeling slightly better, yesterday I had a bad day feeling really rough with this cold today I’m hoping it will improve further.

We had the Grandsons last night and I showed them the goals from Tuesday night’s game they were very impressed. George went to scouts and they had a trip to an observatory, he came back very excited because he saw Saturn’s rings through the telescope.

Today I’m looking forward to my new iPhone to be delivered, my iPhone 5s model is on the way out and iPhone 6 are coming down in price so I got one from giffgaff, £299 it was the cheapest I could find my provider Virgin wanted over £400. Although the phone will be unlocked I am going to move to giffgaff who seem to have some good data packages.

Whats everyone doing today? Let us know, let’s keep the chat flowing.

So United are well truly in the Jose 3rd season glitch.

After a Carabao cup exit to Derby and the defeat to West Ham and the training ground and dressing room bust up with Paul Pogba is it time for Jose to go .? Would you sack him ? 

So far this season, is the Crawley game last night the best complete performance by Notts so far?

I think it’s great that the club did this for Roy, shows we are a real family club, well done Notts.

Well not a bad match day 2 in the Champions league .... 

Manchester United continude there woeful season as they drew 0-0 with Valencia giving them 4 points at the end of match day 2.

Manchester City had to come from 1-0 down against Hoffenhaim to claim a 2-1 and get there 1st win and 3 points of the champions league campaign.

A spirited fight from Spurs was not enough as they fell to a 4-2 defeat against Barcelona as Messi sparkled and left Spurs winless in there opening two games with 0 points 

Liverpool fell to a late 90th minute goal as insigne score a dramatic 90th minute brace to deny Liverpool there second champions league win and leave them on 3 points

Any one watch any of the games ? 

As Milsom will now be serving a 3 match ban, that opens up a spot in our midfield and we're not exactly short of options!

Vaughan, Husin, Kellet, Crawford and Patching will all be vying to take the spot.

Personally I'd go with Vaughan, he's very skilful and whilst no longer the most energetic I think Hewitt's mobility can help offset that. I am intrigued by Crawford though, having come through at non-league level I think he could cope with the physicality of League 2 football.

So who would you like to see partner Hewitt? Or would you pick a different pairing altogether?

So Next up for the magpies is Macclesfield away on Saturday who’s making the trip to Macclesfield on Saturday.? 

Notts always play better when I'm not watching. So, as I've started to suspect that I am actually to blame for our poor start to the season, I decided to go out and buy a sofa on Saturday instead of watching the match on iPlayer. Hey presto, our first win! Obviously this win was due to my failure to watch rather than things like the players, etc.

Obviously I can't do this every matchday as sofas are expensive (although I'm open to donations if anyone wishes to help). However, for those of you who are into betting, please note that I will also miss next weekend's match at Macclesfield...

Good morning PoN, I’m feeling really rough this morning with a right stonking cold, been awake most of the night because I can’t breath through my nose and it’s streaming, I’m also coughing, sneezing and feel achey, maybe I should have has a flu jab.

I won’t be doing much today although we are due to be looking after our two grandsons after school and tonight, I just feel like staying in bed.

ACHOOOOO!

Have a good day everyone.

Tony (throughly miserable ‘pie)

Good morning PoN, I’m feeling a lot better this morning my throat seems to have improved thanks to TCP. I’m really glad I struggled to the match last night it was great and soon made me forget I felt ill.

The big news is I’ve finally reached my target weight after two years, I’ve now officially lost two stone. Whoop whoop.

Have a great day everyone.

So me and @Chris have been talking and we would really like to get a fan on board for either Episode 45 or 46 of the PONCast for an Interview or the whole podcast. We understand that people might not be comfortable with doing this or have the equipment to do so. 

But this is an opportunity for any fan to come forward and get involved with the only fan podcast that Notts County have. Leave a comment down below if you would like to get involved within the next few weeks. 

Don't panic ... it's completely your choice of how much you want to get involved. Be interesting to hear your feedback and feel free to message either me or Chris privately if you have any worries or queries.

You Pies!!!!!!!

Good morning PoN it’s a bit milder this morning but cloudy and grey.

I’ve got a sore throat, looks like I’m getting a cold, I shouldn’t really complain I don’t really get colds very often, I’ve gargled with TCP “that vomit inducing liquid” as our American friend who came to stay called it when she had a sore throat and we gave her some. I must say I agree with her but it is good for soothing it although it tastes and smells vile.

I’m going to see how I feel after breakfast before I decide whether to go for a run, I’m dying to try out my new running shoes.

Hopefully I’ll be ok for the match tonight, we need another win but it’s going to be tough. COME ON YOU PIES!

After today, which was a good win, will we start to go up the league table.

There are some decent teams to play in the coming weeks but points are on offer if we play like today. 

We look a lot more structured and solid at the back and going forward we look decent and when that is in full flow, we will look really dangerous in my opinion. 

Crawley (H), Macclesfield (A), Oldham (H), Bury (A), MK (A), Swindon (H) is what October brings. Predictions for points from October out of 18? I'll go with 11 (DWDWLW in that order).

I know that's being optimistic and I don't want to start getting ahead of myself but I think we will kick on now. 

So what was your favourite tv program as a kid.?
