So the first part of the season 2018 - 2019 season has come and gone some players have done well while others struggled. 

my question is who is your 2018 player of the season so far.?  

Which player has impressed you the most in the first half of the season.?

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year hope you all have a great 2019. 

New Year's Day Fixtures:
Derby County v Middlesbrough
Ipswich Town v Millwall
Luton Town v Barnsley
Southend United v Gillingham
Morecambe v Carisle United
Yeovil Town v Cheltenham Town

Mine:
Derby County 1-1 Middlesbrough
Ipswich Town 2-1 Millwall
Luton Town 2-2 Barnsley
Southend United 2-0 Gillinghm (joker)
Morecambe 0-2 Carlisle United
Yeovil Town 0-0 Cheltenham Town

Ross 2 - I've tried to be patient with him and whilst he has improved over the season, these last few games have showed why we need a new keeper. He just can't command his area

Tootle 3 - Did ok in the first half. Did what he had to do at right wing back before being subbed off after picking another injury

Brisley 4 - Decent first half. Again did the basics and defended well in the opening 45. Game was over once the second went in

Duffy 5 - Notts' best player. Tried to go forward with the ball at some points. 

Bird 4 - Got a good eye for a pass and is our only quick centre back. Will continue to learn, the more games he gets

Evina 4 - He's ok in the wing back role as he can use his pace to help support the attack. No idea if the first goal is his fault

Milsom 1 - Get rid. No clue. Clown. Useless. Walking yellow card. Doesn't impact the game in any way

Vaughan 2 - Not cut out for League Two. He doesn't have the time on the ball that he is used to and isn't a threat physically to the opposition

Kellett 4 - Did what he could

Dennis 3 - I like him but when we did have the ball he made no runs in behind. Then in the second half he really couldn't do much as the game was over by the55th minute

Stead 3 - Showing his age. Poor old carthorse

Subs

Oxlade-Chamberlain 0 - Not League 2 standard. Took a throwing in the second half that went out of play

Thomas 3 - Takes too many touches when he's on the ball. Couldn't really impact the game when it was already finished

Etete 2 - Game was over by the time he came on

Ardley - Can't really give a rating to him as he's working with absolute dross and he looks dejected 

Hi guys , my video from the bury game. Enjoy :).

So New Year’s Day see’s Notts travel to Oldham will you going to support the lads.?

The defence played bloody fantastic against Bury and looked solid. Brisley , Duffy and Bird as a back three often rewarded each other for their work giving each other hand shakes and pats on the back ... little things can really boost a players morale.

But at any moment when Bury went on the attack thought that Fitzsimmons would fluff the game and loose it for us? I did.

We need a keeper in January full stop. Numerous times he should have come to collect the ball and didn't. The defence don't trust him. I am sure he's a cracking lad but there is so many mistakes in his game that need development and we need someone with experience to rely on before it's too late.

Been saying this since he took the No. 1 shirt and to be fair some of it is not all his fault but if we had conceded you couldn't have blamed the defence yesterday as they were absolutely faultless.

So Notts got a 0-0 draw at home to Bury with both Cambridge (toilet seat team) and Macclesfield losing has helped Notts. 

We may be bottom and three point adrift but if we lost it would have been worse. 

With a 3 point gap I feel it’s back in our hands now and with a few more results we can survive. 

Hopefully todays result will now spread confidence through the team and hopefully give us the lift that we need. 

Thoughts guys and girls

Game 25 - The Shakers (H)

Team: Bury

Date: 29/12/18

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Neal Ardley opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Can go for me. Had too many chances. Doesn't impact the game often enough and is too inconsistent.
