Vote for who you think has been Notts best player so far. I know it's difficult since we have been utter horse this season 

Guys can you join me in welcoming our new member @peg248 to Pon 

Absolutely fuming. How can this club get so much wrong

I was here at this game but watching this right now makes me feel sad, look how much the fans got behind the players and how mental everyone went in the KOP when we scored. As @ARLukomski keeps pointing out ... Hard work is all we ask for and look what it can pay off sometimes just like it did here with a replay at Eastlands.                    

RE to my tweet last night, I seriously don't think we are too far away from becoming AFC Notts County.

IF and it's a big IF Alan Hardy was to walk this season we would be in some serious trouble regarding ownership and financial structure. If he walked then I can only see us dropping into the National League.

But is this too negative? Can a big club like Notts drop into the National League? With money spent is it even possible?

For all of his faults we need Alan Hardy right now I noticed @ivansneck post about how he wants him out. But truth be told, I don't think we can afford to have him out because if he was to throw in the towel I think not only would that be our league existence gone but also our club existence.

I think we are in more trouble than people think. Can only imagine what Alan's paying in wages a month. Must be a frightening thought but something to share opinions on. 

Who has been diabolical so far. I narrowed it down to these six

Hello @Geoffrey Newbold,

I had a friend at school called Adam Newbold, it would be amusing if you was related - the world certainly seems small at times. I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. So, welcome from me.  

Welcome to PON @NottsRWee,

How are you? Care to tell us a little bit about yourself such as how long you have supported the club? Well I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Kermit, I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community. Will miss Piggy be joining us?

There has been a change around of favourites of managers since I last post about them. Martin Allen currently favourite with Appleton and Hurst now coming up the rear. Hurst's odds were slashed last night from 10/1 to 7/2 this morning which is 3.5/1. This is very interesting and makes me wonder if having a rejection from Shrewsbury means he is now seeking work at Notts County as AFC Wimbledon look to have their appointment set in stone.

Let us know what you think folks. I would be very pleased with either Appleton, Hurst or Allen. Nolan looks to be out of the picture now but at 4/1 can't be ruled out. 

i was thinking that pon needed to have a good chat based discussion, so i have been thinking about what i might be able to post. it came to me we never really talk about out interests outside of football.

my question is what other interests do you have outside of the beautiful game?

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Norma, I hope you enjoy being a part of our Notts County community.

On 20 November 1976, Notts County clinched an impressive 5-1 win over a Fulham outfit featuring Bobby Moore, George Best and Rodney Marsh in a Second Division match at Craven Cottage.

Mick Vinter struck for the Magpies after just 45 seconds and went on to grab a second later in the game, while Steve Carter, Martin Busby and Ernie Howe (with an own goal) made it five before the hour mark.

Although Alan Slough managed to grab a consolation, it was still a very impressive result from Ron Fenton's side.

Here are the highlights from that game if you fancy having a look. Were you at that game? Let us know!

can each member who reads this mention two players who had the ability and technical skills but they failed with the club for whatever reason, please explain why they did in your opinion.

lets see who says what.

Just got back from what I would class as the worst performance I’ve seen in many years. Had relegation written all over the team.

No one gets any credit from the day. Possibly Turley who at least had the bottle to put a few tackles in, Enzio with his occasional spark and Fitz for doing what he is paid to do.

The rest looked like lost little boys. Their number six ran the match. He was into everything and bossed it. Stupid formation which failed miserably  and the players really didn’t care.

Duffy and Jones with their usual inability to defend was embarrassing. 

Ashamed to be a Notts fan after that, and I’ve sat through Colin Murphy, Steve Thompson etc...

#NoideasNoclue.

Disgusting. Plus there is no way there was over six thousand there today! Hardy doing a little Pavis fiddle with the numbers is he? I’d have said four and a half on a good day!!!

I think the club has to move on from where they have been, re-appointing Kevin Nolan isn't the answer even if he was sacked early. His tactics was not very good, he scraped many wins by chance or a certain level of luck.

A good manager overall and one of the best in recent years.

He just hasn't done enough to warrant a return especially in the exact same season where he first got fired. I find it silly how so many fans want him back, will they support him if he was to come back and struggle? of course not.

Move on and hire a manager capable of gaining promotion for the club.

Good morning PON members.

How are we all today?

I haven't checked for any news, so I am unaware of anything new that may have happened. Feel free to mention anything that may generate replies though, as a way to balance what people are doing or have done.

I realise a day might change and some might decide to leave until later when the days final to post.

Today I have a very important meeting, I'm hoping it will help me tackle some of the discrimination I face over my disability. I really could do with some useful advice heading into next month.

As I know I will win back what I am entitled too.

After I'm not sure what my plans on.

What about you?

PON has a new member, can we please welcome @Magpie Paul to the site.

After a dire result yesterday whats everyone up to today?

I am still hurting and wondering what the future holds for our club, it seems only Notts could get there selves into this position. I was particularly annoyed yesterday with the lack of effort from all players.

However, Today I am working a night shift at a big job in Allington. Should be a long night by the sounds of it but up until then I don't have much planned, keep on top of things and make the most of my time before work tonight.

Let us know what you're doing folks.

Game 18 - The Robins (H)

Team: Cheltenham Town
