So Harry Kewell made only one change against Oldham .. which was Dennis for Duffy. 

The one and only change was a attacker for a defender which probably means he went defensive and probably went for the point. 

I cant believe he only made one change despite the players warming up  and the way we was playing. 

I said to @Chris I can’t believe he has only made one change. 

Thoughts guys and girls was he correct to make just the one change .?

Quick game So the question is simple guys and girls which actor and their films would you get rid off.

Just thinking about the games people play on their mobile or tablets. I play fallout shelter a fair bit. That and Sniper 3D.

What games do you play to pass time eg on the train etc...

I know I ask this a awful lot but are there any positives we can take from today’s fa cup game against Barnsley at oakwell.?

Just left Wimbledon. Was wanted by Notts before Kewell was appointed. Future appointment if things go sour with Kewell?

14 managerial changes have now been made 4 months into the season. 10 sackings, 2 resignations and 2 managers signed by another team 

With the squad Kevin Nolan assembled with a few additions from Kewell, who from last season's squad do you think has left the biggest hole and would be the difference maker in the squad we have now? 

For me it has to be Ryan Yates, he was everything that our midfield isn't and would certainly thrive in the squad we have now.

Honourable mention would go to Shola Ameobi as I feel he'd do a job with a Hemmings or Dennis alongside him up front. 

I also feel the lack of experienced heads and strong characters in the dressing room (Smith, Ameobi, Dickinson, Hunt) haven't been replaced like for like which has left a void and when heads go down they stay down without these guys who had been there and seen it all.  

I don't think Jorge Grant is a big miss, yeah he is a good player but he's a luxury player, you'd have him if he was offered to you but with or without him I think we'd be in the same position. 

Adam Collin, no we don't miss him, his face just didn't fit and in times like this he would've been as useful as he was in the 10 game losing streak we had.

Michael O'Connor, I feel had we actually made a real effort to keep him his leadership qualities and thunderous, hard tackle approach is something we completely miss. 

Jonathan Forte, do we miss him? I'm 50/50 on this one.

So, who do you think we miss the most? And who would be the player(s) that you feel would be a perfect fit to this team to get us more points?

Chris - I'm not trying to re-open the closed thread, this article has stunned me and I think a lot of people in PON will have interseting views and thoughts on it:

https://novaramedia.com/2018/11/08/unless-the-british-legion-calls-for-transformational-change-it-should-disband-veterans-deserve-better/?fbclid=IwAR193jUTGCe9_n46ZSWWoKHcjGvJ87rrMiSoW8Dnm0O7M8LNKgP1usgSGnI

let's leave the football issue out of this folks, and just comment on the issues the article raises. I must say it has horrified me, and alot of my veteran freinds (I used to work on various military bases across Europe but was not in the forces myself)

So my question is who on Pon likes a smoothie and if so what flavours do you like.? 

Ive tried some basic ones but would like to try others  be great to know what other people drink.

Derby 0 Aston Villa 3 .. so the first local  Derby of the weekend has been played and Villa manages to get the 3 points.

coming in to the game Derby had only conceded a handful of goals were 6 points in front of Villa and further up the league. 

lampard had clearly had a great start to his managerial job at Derby. 

While Villa handnt  had such a good start to this season loosing 5 and winning 5 so winning imperative for Villa. 

Villa scored 3 in the second half to put the game beyond Derby’s reach on the day Villa were the better side and clear to see that Derby wasn’t on form.  

So it’s time for another caption this my favourite time of the week because we get some fantastic captions and they put a smile on my face. 

So this weeks caption this is taken from last years home tie against Swansea. 

I’ll reveal the winning caption on Saturday night good luck and happy captioning guys and girls 

So with only 45 days till Christmas has anyone started there Christmas shopping yet or indeed like some people I know are you finished or do you prefer to do it in December.?  

So it's time for another guess the magpie the gaffer as always has provided us with one ..

can you guess the magpie.? 

I will reveal the answer on Saturday night 

good luck everyone and happy guessing. 

So County are of the fa cup at the first round with our league position that could be a blessing in disguise. 

But right now I can’t help but thinking what we have lost by going out at the first round. 

1- The financial side to things gettting to round four last season would have been worth a million or two on gate fees especially if we brought them to meadow lane for a replay. which all hopefully goes back in to the club for wages and other expenses which we could do with. 

2- May seem daft but Notts did some fan events one watching the fa cup draw with the players and managers etc it was a good night to meet other fans and actually share some positives. 

3- Drawing a good team in the third round maybe Man City or united away or Chelsea which would be a great matchday even more if it was a home tie.  

I know right now our league status is on the line and maybe the first round elimination is for the best. 

Whats your thoughts guys and girls 

What do people think of the standard of commentary on a radio Nottingham. I love Mark Stallard but I think his summaries of incidents go on too long. In the game today he was talking about a good chance that Notts had just missed and I could hear the crowd getting excited and shouting about something and wanted to know what was happening, I wish Charlie Slater would cut him off more and tell us what’s happening. Sometimes it seems the summariser is talking more than the commentator.

Fair comment? Do you agree or disagree? Let’s hear your thoughts.

So guys and girls my question is simple out of 10 what would you grade the refs in league 2. 

So we are in early November and season ticket holders who haven’t used there bring a friend voucher can still do so with the seven remaining dates that’s included below. 

Maybe we should have kept it since the present scoreboard doesn't work any more.

For those that don't remember or are too young the letters corresponded with letters printed in the programme for matches being played e.g. Liverpool v Arsenal might be letter A, there used to be a man up there who's job it was to put the numbers to tell us the half time scores so Liverpool were winning 1-0 he'd put a one on the left hand side of the window marked A and a 0 on the right hand side.

Of course the Notts fans always wanted to know the Florist half time score so when he got to their score he used to have a little game, if it was 2-0 for instance he'd put the 2 up and keep swapping it to keep us guessing whether Florist had scored two or the opposition had.

I see Notts are moving to the most incompetent and most unscrupulous ticket agency. Money before people again.

It's not an easy illness to cope or deal with, however if any PON members are reading this and struggle with the condition themselves - please do try to speak to someone about it. Myself and most team members would be only happy to chat to you, I know @Magic magpie will stand with me on this and it might just make a small difference to have someone who can listen at the other end (without judging you).

Sometimes it's easier to take a step back, then reflect on your thoughts and at times as I know too well you need someone to support you.

I just wanted to make it known that we are approachable, I am and I know how the stigma can effect you.

You're never alone, even when those that say this don't mean it - there are genuine people that do. Place your trust in them and hopefully a difference can be reached.

The past few games under Harry Kewell have been nothing but disgraceful. Constantly picking the same woeful players week in week out and tries to play passing football using Kristian Dennis as a target man. Today was absolutely woeful from the team selection to the second half performance. But we'll have people who didn't go saying that he should stay. Kewell out.

Good morning PoN, it’s a cloudy, rainy start here and a bit cool. It’s Remembrance Day and the day when we take time to remember the brave people who died so that we could live in freedom.

We’ve had our two grandsons overnight but they’ve been as good as gold which we are glad about because we were exhausted after our use day yesterday.

They are being picked up soon because George is marching with the scouts for Remembrance Day.

Have a great day everyone.

So county head to oakwell for the first round of the fa cup. 

So guess the attendance game if you fancy having a go.

so you can have two guesses one is the total number of attendance as a total then the second guess is the away fans which will be Notts this time. 

Good luck guys and girls will reveal the answer on Saturday night.

So my question is this how many points do you think Notts can get from the following league games we have over the next month. 

17/11/18 - 15/12/18

Cheltenham 

morecombe 

Carlisle 

mansfield 

Trammere 

Fitzsimons 7 - Kept the score under 8 

Turley 6 - Did what he could playing out of position. Almost scored a bicycle kick. Stood up to Mamadou Thiam well in the first half

Ward 5 - Did well in the first half but then he was part of the second half capitulation

Brisley 5 - Same as Ward

Evina 2 - I have no idea in the world what he was thinking for the 4th goal. With Jones just as bad I don't know why we bother starting a left-back anymore

Hewitt 1 - At fault for the second goal and just pure tripe

Milsom 1 - Part of a midfield that looks like it's been slimed by the ghostbusters virtually all the time. Pass back pass back what you gonna do, what you gonna do when Milsom passes it back to you

Boldewijn 4 - He tries but playing hoofball to him will never help

Thomas 2 - Get rid. First touch of a camel and can't beat his man. How Blades signed him I'll never know

Alessandra 1 - Generous 1. Head of a peanut and just goes round in circles. Like a yo-yo with a never ending string. 

Dennis 2 - Played long ball to yet again. We never play to his strengths. He must be the most annoyed footballer in England right now

Subs

Etete 3 - Tried but the game was far out of reach

Jones 2 - Got barely any touches of the ball when he came on. Game was over by then

Dunn N/A - Completely didn't know he got subbed on because I was too annoyed

Kewell 0 - "Improvments." "Take your chances." We had 4 shots all game. 1 on target. Improvements despite capitulating second half. Says it's a free game then names an unchanged team. No game should be a "free game." Every game should mean something. That's basically saying "you don't have to do much today, the pressure is off." Tactics are non-existent. Playing long ball up to Dennis and Enzio. Puts four defenders on the bench. Wants to play good football but then starts the two least creative centre mids. Says players like Kellett, Patching, Crawford and Husin have got to work hard to earn their chance. What about the current starting x1? They haven't done anything to suggest they should keep their starting place.

So pop vinyls have released there Football range of player at the minute it’s only Manchester United and Chelsea and a selection of others. 

But my question is this if they started to produce the Motts county range would you buy them.? 

If your not sure what they are there are a few below
