According to Lewis Alessandra the Notts County dressing room were gutted when Nolan was sacked.
Maybe they should have tried a bit harder to help him keep his job.

Think we played really well first half. I would say Grimsby deserved it though. They ran us riot second half and we couldn't keep up with their high pressing football. Annoying because this could have kick started our season. Few things I picked up on, Fitz still looks pants but he is becoming more commanding, apart from corners. Enzio Boldewjin was quiet all game and had about 5 touches. Alessandra looks decent with Hemmings. Disappointed not to see Campbell get a game. If we lose to Exeter I don't really know where we go from here. So no more to add for me because I just don't know what to say anymore, we fielded a strong team. Hopefully get a good weeks training under our belts and go from there. Stead and Dennis both unlucky not to score.
Let me know your thoughts down below.
So I know we have had a few game questions and chats I thought one more .. dose anyone on Pon play the FUT on Fifa or the equivalent in pro evolution soccer.?

The players could do with a lift, Lewis seems down and I think his response to the questions is very honest.
Interesting comment, I would say a bit more but I think the questions took Lewis Alessandra back a bit.
The focus should have been more on the game itself.
However, I like Lewis and I think he works hard. If the team was performing better, I think he would show his worth. Not sure I agree with people on social media suggesting he's not good enough.
Those floods lights behind him seem to have him caught like a rabbit in the headlights. He seems taken back at times by the line of questioning, I would have much preferred the questions to be about the game myself.
So we lost to Grimsby last night in the checkatrade trophy but could be say we took any positives from the game.?

I was called mad for pointing out the fitness. ????
Now all of sudden these people who said 'it's only the pre-season', 'we are only x games in' are saying how the players aren't fit enough and haven't been for awhile. Hindsight is such a lovely process. ????
I like how Harry calls things, he clearly understands what he sees and this should help with fixing them.
I like the way Harry talks, he seems to have a good understanding and his approach to the job should help.
Nice to see PON sharing the post match videos done by Notts, I don't watch YouTube but these are useful.
We all love a good film but what type though.?

I worked out yesterday that I've been to 38 away games in my time supporting Notts. I know it might not seem a lot but I've done a lot more over the past few seasons and I plan to do more this season and in the future.
Out of the 38 away games I have been to:
W 6
D 13
L 19
The 6 wins are
Doncaster 0-2 Notts 2011/12 FA Cup
Doncaster 0-1 Notts 2012/13 League 1
Port Vale 0-2 Notts 2014/15 League 1
Scunthorpe 0-1 Notts 2014/15 League 1

So Hardy has always gone on about his 5 year plan with Notts getting the back to position where County deserve .. I know he’s invested etc but that’s when things went well but the first time of trouble the board don’t back the gaffer people leave and now he has again open his mouth without speaking saying he wouldn’t have brought County if he could turn back time. I have a feeling he will sell the club if he gets a good enough offer. He is a business man and owning a football team is harder than he thought.
my question is do you think he will sell the club if he gets the right offer.
More importantly can we trust hardy

Mark Stallard has praised this partnership a few times already, could it be that these two are the centre backs that can form a partnership that could help improve the goal conceded?
It sounds promising already, and given time it should only get better.
I don't think it will solve all the issues, as I would like to see a keeper brought into the club that is good enough to replace Ross Fitzsimons but Shaun Brisley and Elliot Ward sound like they could work well together. Harry Kewell should form partnerships across the park, however the centre back's is the main area that needs to improve.
Keep Richard Duffy out and we'll be alright!

Please do not think for one second this may be a good signing. He is a woeful keeper and the only thing I can see relevant to this signing is somebody to push Fitz but he is literally the same keeper. If you don't believe me ... well here the proof. Playing in the green goalkeeper kit for Port Vale.
Please notice, 2nd goal he comes for the ball and goes back in his decision. So he is indecisive. The 3rd goal look at his lack of awareness to spot the other player and how far he comes out of his net, putting all of his eggs in one basket. Shocking signing if this comes off.

I think maybe....just maybe.....our season is on the brink of being kickstarted by the change of management.
This may have been the Mickey Mouse tinpot joke cup. I don't suppose it was anywhere near a full-strength Grimsby side. But the fact is that for a good hour Notts put the misery of the last month behind them and pretty much played their hosts off the park.
We were treated to a display of passing football, which totally belied a team supposedly bereft of confidence. We were playing the ball out from the back, with intricate short passing through the midfield, and good movement. No sign of the "frightened rabbits" of Saturday. It was a joy to watch at times.
It wasn't perfect. Fitz had a couple of hairy moments in the first half, and got away with them. But he had been immaculate in the second half, catching everything cleanly and making a couple of excellent saves, until the 88th minute when he fumbled the ball under pressure and presented Grimsby with the winner. I think the time has come to take him out of the firing line. Pindroch joined in with the warm up but wasn't in the matchday squad, but he can't be far off ready. Or maybe there's a new keeper coming in ?
Up front Stead and Hemmings worked hard and effectively, well supported by Boldewijn and Alessandra, but the cutting edge wasn't quite there, despite both strikers forcing very good saves from the home keeper, and Stead only being denied by a last-gasp tackle after a great run and cross by Boldewijn.
After half time there were changes. Dennis replaced Hemmings, and Hewitt replaced Husin (who had played very well, but taken a heavy knock earlier in the game). This seemed to upset Notts' rhythm a little bit, and coupled with some changes to the home side made the game more even. Grimsby got their equaliser through a penalty on 70 minutes and that gave them the initiative a bit. Notts' heads didn't drop.....it was just that Grimsby had their tails up. But still it took another goalkeeping error to decide the game.
Very impressed with Ward. His foul gave the penalty away but that was his only mistake of a convincing performance. Get him paired up with Davies and they'll be ok. Kellett had a fine game at left back, as did Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right. Alessandra had a very good game and Milsom and Husin (until his injury) were both superb in the centre.
If Kewell can have this much impact in two days, what can he do in two weeks ?
Natty
game highlights for those that want to see.
I was delighted to see that Notts was winning but frustrated when I saw they had lost.
It might be a cup that nobody seems to care about but at the end of the day had they have won, it would have been a big confidence boost for the players. That's why I am disappointed.
After just going live on Facebook and Twitter. Harry Kewell sure had a lot to say. After getting through Hardy's usual 'this is a journey' ramble we actually got a chance to hear from the new manager. Personally he's changed my mind on the situation. He seems to let the players have some free time in training to gel with each other and practice together. He also wants to hit the ground running. He is happy to reunited with Enzio and even said he tried to come in for Hemmings and Thomas for Crawley. I hope he starts with a win tomorrow so he can get the confidence back up within the squad after admitting it was low at the moment. He also teased 2 more signings. Karl Henry anybody? My mood has definitely changed and I feel more confident with him now.
Anyone else listen to the live stream and if so what did you think?

So he has come under speculation a lot in the past few weeks especially by me. Ok he has a poor defence in front of him but in my opinion he was the reason we lost against FGR. So I thought I would just do a bit of research and show why he is in no way shape or form fit to be a Number 1 in a League Two side.
Age: 24
Total Games in Non League: 71
Total Games in National League: 1
Total Games in Football League: 23
In all league appearances for Notts County (23) Ross has conceded 35 goals and receiving 1 red card.
In my opinion this is absolutely shocking and how on earth he deserves a number 1 shirt with our club after having no National League experience and his only league experience with us is a joke. Comment your thoughts down below.

I swear I read somewhere that he was 35, 33 isn't a bad age. He should be in his element at this level and I just hope he can take the knocks which come this way.
Good interview, he spoke sense and hope he gets to start in the next league game.
Good interview and addition based on what I have read.
So Alan Hardy has just announced the games that left back Dan Jones will miss as a result of his straight on Saturday against Forest Green.
