    • I don't know, I'm not disappointed by the actual result.

    I'm concerned about the nature in which we gave the lead away twice, however, football is like this and sometimes the teams who aren't doing that well lift their game for matches like this one. Did we not say last season that teams would be doing this? Now the seasons started, some are acting like we are self-entitled to gain promotion just because of who we are. The squad needs further time to gel, I don't think Neal Ardley has figured all of the pictures out with his tactics but I am encouraged.

    I've missed two games so far, we have looked alright in the other ones I have seen.

    Considering some wonder where the goals will come from (myself included at times), yesterday taking the lead twice was a positive. The negative is how we fail to make Ebbsfleet work for the goals we conceded, but again, after last season and the fact our defence is pretty much new. It will take time!

    I think I would be more annoyed if we had lost and totally been outplayed, it sounds like either team had a good game and for us too many of our players didn't step their own performances up. Regan Booty finding the net, finally I feel will be important - he seems like the type of lad that wants to score on a regular basis.

    I suppose if your glass is half full, you can at least say we're regularly taking the lead, unlike last season (although that really cannot be the yardstick). Trouble is, once you get into the habit of losing leads it can really get into your head and become a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. We need to cut it out and get a couple of wins on the board.

    How were the individual performances?

Match Talk    Ratings Notts v Wrexham

Mean of 5

Slocombe 6

Rawlinson 6 First touches did not convey confidence. Did an assured job....Toots sidelined?

Graham 6 Provides a bit of pace in central defence

Turner 6 Real solid centre half...

McCrory 5 Defensive yes but not strong enough to beat his man when going forward. Always took the safety first option, which maybe not a bad thing at this stage

Rose 7.5 MoTM Much stronger first half than second...A Neal Bishop type performance

Doyle 5.5 Unfussy energetic but nothing in an offensive sense

Booty 7 Delightful ball in for Dennis. Provided some really good passes but need to be more street wise when too soft in build up of Wrexham goal

Enzio 6.5 Provided some good glimses but did drift in the second half

Dennis 7.5 Great header for the goal, showed good movement but needs to feed off an old style #9

Thomas 6 Wasted chances which you would have expected to be more clinical

Subs

Osborne 6 Needs more matches to get confident that he can beat his man

JOB 6.5 great layback to set up Tyson

Tyson 5 Golden chance missed.... just needed to hit the target

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Hemmings signs for Dundee

https://mobile.twitter.com/Official_NCFC/status/1159392865698680832 

Understand he's on a big wage but disappointed he's gone. Never used in the right way at Notts.

Scored 14 goals in a team that struggled last season, despite being put on the wing for some games and being injured. Got a lot of undeserved stick in his time at Notts. Had good link up play and a good work rate as well

Good luck to him

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    if notts beats wrexham on sunday

if notts can beat wrexham on sunday, it can turn the season around and breed a bit of confidence into the squad. it seems we are adapting and the arrival of booty seems to give notts a bit of grit in the middle of the park.

im not suggesting we will win every game, i just think the positives are there if we can build on this good result against harrogate.

what do you think?

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Fortress Meadow Lane

Is it just me or is it a case that Notts play better away from home? They seem burdened by the weight of expectation at home. They seem to be afraid to try things because of the crowd reaction if they don't work out. Meadow Lane should be a fortress but teams actually like going there because they know the crowd will quickly pounce on Notts if things aren't going well. The opposition feed off that and grow in confidence. Isn't it time for supporters to support the team for 90 mins at home? The fans last night were right behind the team for 90 mins and you saw the result.

English Football    Conference snippets

We've been missing a thread for the latest happenings in this wonderful league of ours, so here's one. Add anything vaguely Conference-related here. Might as well make ourselves at home :)

Solihull Moors are top of the table and Wrexham are visiting Meadow Lane on Sunday. Luckily they've got the added distraction of the Scottish Challenge Cup (no, really).

Hilariously, it's now known as the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup. Are we through the looking glass now?

    • Really delighted with this result. There are plenty of positives - Sam Osborne starting for the first time, what sounded like a good display by Booty, Enzio scoring with his head (and another lively display from him). And how important are those two penalties going to be for our season? We were under a bit too much pressure for my taste in the second half but we're still taking baby steps.

    It's also encouraging that Neal Ardley has switched back to 442. Other formations definitely have their advantages over it, but they have to be worked on during pre-season and we haven't really had the chance to do that. Players generally know what do do in a 442 so that's probably best in our situation.

    Big kudos for the away following, 700 is what I heard, not shabby at all. If any of you are lurking, how did you find it?

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    Notts will rise again!

At last the takeover is sorted and a new era can begin! This week I've gone from being optimistic, to utter despair and a real fear that there would be no Notts next season, to this unexpected twist. We don't know the full story of it yet, but I suspect that AH was playing a game of brinkmanship to get the highest price possible, with our club's future and people's livelihoods on the line. I don't think it's a coincidence that this "cut-price deal" came the very day after the Haydn Green estate announced they were considering forcing the club into administration...

But now we can move on. That means paying the bills and wages, signing a stack of players and hoping that Ardley and Cox can form them into a team. I don't know about you lot but I'm on a high right now and I'm hoping that the players can take that and a new sense of togetherness into the season. But if it's a bumpy ride we need to keep the faith, as this summer has hardly been ideal for preparing for a new league. As for the new owners, I hope they're patient, competent´and knowledgeable (oh, and stinking rich). They've chosen to announce the takeover through the official channel rather than giving a blow-by-blow account on Twitter, so that's a nice change already.

I'd be happy if we can stabilise on and off the pitch this season first of all. Ultimately I'm delighted that Notts County will still be taking to the Meadow Lane pitch next season after the last few months. But maybe there's more in it too. Let's pull together and see what's possible. Bring on the new season!

Jimmy Sirrel Stand    The new shirts have landed

And here they are. Thoughts?

KIT DETAIL 2.png

 

The home shirt isn't stripey enough for my liking - the big white patch on the front makes it look like the Cornwall flag (look it up!). It'll be sponsored by Utilita during August, then we'll see. Maybe it'll look better with a sponsor on. But I do like the black shorts / white socks combination, that should take us back to happier times :)

That away shirt is mint though! I don't know why but I've always fancied seeing us in green away from home. It's a nice change from blue and a whole lot classier.

    • Both teams started quite well, I felt Notts was the better side for about 35 minutes and the lack of a clinical striker up top was very apparent.

    I keep being told Notts requires a tall striker, which I agree with but against Barnet it wouldn't have changed much. Notts needs to learn to be more direct, there's a lot more pace in this season's squad, but they're very ineffective with using it correctly.

    The issue is, we felt bombarding Barnet would have lead with a second goal for us.

    However, it left us wide open and defensively, it's just not there at the moment. Once Notts concedes, confidence is lost throughout the team and I felt the play after this point became extremely wasteful. In recent weeks, I have felt Mitch Rose has been our best player but he underperformed massively. Enzio Boldewijn is an absolute luxury, did he play well? No, voted as the Man of the Match for simply scoring a wonderful effort.

    Ben Turner did well at the back, yet the mistake for me was dropping Pierce Bird, who has been quite solid I feel in recent games.

    The inexperience of Sam Graham, and I'm sorry to point this out really made it easier for Barnet. The fact to the side of him, Dion Kelly-Evans struggled not only with Barnet's height but also their pace. Both of these played well in the first half, yet quickly became the point of threat via The Bee's attack.

    I would be tempted to use Kristian Dennis has a bargaining chip, his stature and persistent injuries make it hard for me to see how he can be successful in this league.

    He tried, however, he didn't look effective at all and I realise he's the only natural goal scorer on our books who seems capable of scoring 15-20 goals - whilst I would love this to happen in Notts colours too, I just don't see it happening now that I have seen him against established National League sides. Honestly, I feel if the club can target signing a target man/someone who can hold the ball up - swapping Dennis for a taller and more suitable striker might make the world of a difference.

    The confidence and pace of this Notts squad will have teams worried, we'll be hard to play, but the goals conceded won't disappear until we learn to sit on the play and attack games properly.

    I thought Barnet played very well, they made the most of their chances and you can see the difference between them and us. They have an established squad who play for each other, ours are still getting used to it. I am only disappointed about throwing the lead away.
