So Alan Hardy said on the radio today that we have 38 professionals on the books. I counted 34 earlier
GK - Fitzsimons, Pindroch, Culverwell
RB - Tootle, Ox
CB - Ward, Turley, Bird, Hall, Davies, Duffy, Brisley
LB - Jones, Evina, Dunn, Kennedy-Williams
CM - Vaughan, Hewitt, Milsom, Husin, Patching, Crawford, Howes
W - Boldewijn, Thomas, Kellett, Osborne, Alessandra, Hawkridge
ST - Stead, Dennis, Hemmings, Etete, Campbell
Who would you get rid of as it seems we have far too many players at the moment?
He officially takes charge today
Hopefully it's a turning point

Too interested in himself to run the club properly. Has let the players force Kewell out, but didn’t have a plan B when he sacked him.

3 hours ago, Chris said:First half Notts defended with 9 players plus the keeper.
We couldn't string a pass really and Steve Chettle had the defensive line far too deep. Defensively Notts got lucky, as Carlisle United moved the ball nicely and created some good chances which they're guilty of being very wasteful of. I felt they look very confident until they struck the ball but a lot of praise for me should be given to Jamie Turley who battled and tried to win everything.
In the second half Notts always do better when they attack the Kop.
Chettle claims he changed things but this isn't true, we started off exactly the same as we ended the first half but grew in confidence as the game progressed, When Notts started knocking on the door, we looked bright and lively. After Nathan Thomas missed a sitter (decent save by Adam Collin) - I felt Notts look very likely to score. Instead of committing a few players forward, we actually had attacking players and we look good for a spell.
This was until we scored, then we parked the bus back. Isolated Kristian Dennis and never properly pushed for a second.
Notts grew quite tired of chasing everything, as the main players doing a lot of running - i.e Dennis, Hewitt, Jones seemed knackered and this gave Carlisle a sense that they could get something. Honestly after they scored, I feel they should have won the game because they played some restless stuff.
Chettle IS NOT a talented manager, I feel sorry for him but he's utterly clueless and anyone who says otherwise wouldn't have seen what the 4k attending yesterday did.
The way you describe the match tallies with the conclusion I came to while listening to the radio almost exactly.
I can't be the only Notts fan that pondered how the hell Carlisle wasn't winning by 2 or more goals before half time? I am surprised Notts even scored by how they played, a good brief spell where they looked confident and good on the ball. Yet it was only short lived, I never thought Notts would have found the net.
A draw seems lucky to me.
It's one of those games that you just want to forget, Notts played well for what 20 minutes? After scoring Notts tried for a second but resorted to dropping back deep.
Well I don’t know about anyone else but for Christmas all I want it 3 points for the magpies.
Anyone else ?

Two questions:
1. What had happened to Kewell’s assistants?
2. Has Ardley brought anyone in with him?

For the most part of the 2018/19 season Kristian Dennis has looked to be unfit or struggling to get his fitness up, I always felt that he needed game time and carefully managing as we know he's a goalscorer.
Harry Kewell threw him in into the squad with the absence of Jon Stead and Kane Hemmings.
He's done well and has reaped the rewards, a striker thrives on confidence and he seems to be playing with a level of form right now. I think he will be a massive player for us under Neal Ardley. I just hope Stead, Hemmings and Alessandra can return to the starting 11 soon.
What difference has KD made in your eyes? Is he in form right now?

I noticed that one of the newly appointed SLO's had updated a message on PON, I am keen to see what is going on but I don't use social media all that much. Is there any chance that one of the admins can ask the SLO's to post updates on PON?

regardless of who is actually appointed, will you get behind the next manager?
the past games means nothing when building from a new start, judging the players by previous mistakes means that we will only burden and judge them at a time all should be given a clean slate. if we want to survive and sort this hell of a season out, i dont think moaning or abusing the players will help.

Well by all accounts it wasn't a great performance, but considering the catastrophe that was the 3-0 loss last weekend, I'll take a point for now.
Pros:
Dennis has started to now look the striker we hoped for.
Morecambe didn't have tons of chances like most sides that plat against us.
We didn't lose.
Cons:
Late goal made it feel like a loss.
Same old problems in terms of defending balls into the box.
Didn't create too many chances.
Possible injury to Enzio.
Did anyone go who can give player ratings please(or have I missed them)?

Think people wont because of how dull the game was, Notts and Morecambe was equally as poor as each other.

Ticket prices up 3% now ticketmaster (sic) are in place. More than the rate of inflation. Notts 91st in the league and they raise ticket prices! You couldn’t make it up, the club is becoming a laughing stock.
