So tonight we travel to Grimsby for the checkatrade trophy.

so I thought I would ask you lovely people of Pon for your score predictions and goal scorers.?

So i was watching master chef last night and I've had a thought (are there dark horses in this group) any one who can cook like a pro make us drool . any takers guys and girls 

Good morning PoN, it’s a patchy cloudy start here today, the temperature is a bit lower this morning.

Not much happening here, we are off to Lidl this morning to stock up then if the weather stays fine I’ll do some more gardening, I’ve let it get into a bit of a state lately so it’s going to need doing a bit at a time as I get exhausted if I do too much.

Anyone doing anything exciting? Let us know.

I said to @Magic magpie how bad the decision was, you could forgive the foul as a 50/50 challenge and give both players a yellow card. I know some will respond that Dan Jones went in with two feet but their player ran into him for heaven's sack, he also made the first contact and then made an absolute meal of the incident.

Honestly, if he doesn't win an Oscar or some sort of diving award I will be surprised because he's at fault too. I feel the sending off is really harsh, you can clearly see Jones has his hands in the air in the picture below.

If Kewell is to become the next manager of Notts what do you exspect from him.?

So only fools and horses is the biggest comedy around the world. Any one find themselfs using words from Del or Rodney or other cast members. 

“You plonker” 

“soppy old git” 

love it always makes me smile ???? 

All players based rating based on /10. 

Fitz - 0 - Had nothing and I mean nothing to do all game apart from have an attempt at saving three or four chances. First goal was not his fault that is fine. But the other two watching him attempt a dive is painful. He's just lazy and it looks like he's lost all confidence in his own ability. Shocking!

Hawkridge - 7 - After being out for a while I thought he had a solid game and would have given him MOTM if he had played more minutes. Good effort from him. Really valued his effort today.

Hewitt - 5 - Bang average performance. A standard performance from what you would expect from him. Few sloppy errors but that's Hewitt for you.

Brisely - 5 - Same as Hewitt. Improved from recent weeks. 

Jones - 4 - Good runs but sloppy deliveries and attempted one cross in the first half without even looking up. Lacking confidence again and it shows in his bang average performances at LB. Red card was deserved.

Boldewjin - 4 - Isolated and easily marked by the FGR defender, not his best performance and he needs to start creating more chances otherwise fans will start to get on his back. A day to forget from him. 

Vaughan - 7 - MOTM for me, happy with his performance and worked hard all game. For a man of 35 to play as many minutes as he is doing for the club, it is a credit to have him here and putting the performances in. Played a good captain today too as i spotted him a few times going to players and offering advice and support. Credit. Only bad thing to say about him is I think he could be more forward with his passes sometimes.

Milsom - 7 - He could fill the hole quite well. Played well and received the ball well with a good first touch. Needs to be quicker though and be more decisive with his actions and passes. More commitment needed from him. But happy to have him back and played convincingly today.

Alessandra - 5 - Missing really and didn't notice anything from him today. Hope he gets more of a chance but think Thomas would've been better suited today to exploit FGR's weaknesses. 

Dennis - 2 - Missing and drifted into play CM a few times. Never really did much running and such a shame that he picked up a knock. Him and Hemmings seem to struggle to understand each others game.

Hemmings - 7 - Effort was there and I think he really cares but just isn't getting the service required to be able to do his job effectively. Hope he can become the main striker in the team and become a real leader of men. Think he will thrive under Kewell.

Subs:

Stead - 7 - Good goal and is turning in to a really good impact sub. Got a lot of time for Stead and hope he isn't written off by Kewell because of his age.

Kellett - 7 - Good effort and carried the ball forward well. Should start next game for me as he offers so much more than the likes of Husin and Jones.

Husin - 3 - Diabolic deliveries and when confidence was building he killed it off with his inability to put in a good delivery. Think he had 3 corners and 1 free kick all of which was useless. Bench player at best. 

So below is the champions league draw for the group stage .. what’s everyones opinion.?n

Not the type of thing you read about every day, especially such an incident on the coast of Ireland.

Could be a long day checking on here and twitter trying to find any news!

I been knocked down so many times
Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
Written off like some bad deal
If you're breathing you know how it feels
Call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a

Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again

This ain't no game; I play it hard
Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred
I'll take the hit but not the fall
I know no fear, still standing tall
You can call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a

After watching this video it highlights some issues that were hard to tell from a far. 

- Fitz is woeful and is at fault for both the 2nd and 3rd goal. 

- Defending for the 1st and 3rd is questionable regarding positioning.

- Dan Jones Red Card was deserved.

That 2nd and 3rd goal is so bad I can't describe them. Totally 10000000% Fitz's fault. He should be blamed for the loss of this game. 

Let me know your thoughts down below.

So my question is simple any possitives from today’s game against forest Green Rovers.? 

If you could change one PON member's username, either for a laugh or because something else would sound better.

Which member would choose and what username would you change their's too?

Hello, my name is John.

I have not long joined the Pride of Nottingham website, I thought I would give it ago since Facebook is full of moaning fans. As you will have noticed I am County Til I Die and I have supported Notts for over 40+ years.

So today was the last straw Fitzsimmons is not our number one. At fault again for two of the goals that we conceived due to the fact he was either off his line and had to scramble back or his positioning is awful. In most of the attacks no only in this game but others by various teams he favoured his left post leaving the right hand of his goal completely exsposed. This is not what a number one dose they are stern and steady and control there defenders and area Fitzsimmons dose neither. The defence has not helped but I’m sorry he has to shoulder the blame for the poor goal line and positioning.

After rumours of up to 5 signings today, the clock is ticking down to 5pm a bit quick BigAl !!!!!

Crack on!

So looking at the table just now we are bottom but a win on Saturday against forest Green but a win on Saturday could lift us i know the goal ratio won’t help and we haven’t scored at home this season but I think all of that would actually drive the team to actually perform and play like we can.? 

So ... after listening to Kevin Nolan's interview on BBC Nottingham after his sacking it has infuriated me to the fullest. Alan Hardy has completely let him down hugely. Nolan hinted that he wanted to keep players from last year but due to budget we were not able to. So explain to me why we can sign Enzio Boldewjin for a reported 300,000 then. Same with Hemmings and Dennis. I am worried that our club is turning into a sinking ship with this complete buffoon at the helm of it. I have lost all respect for Alan Hardy and un followed him on twitter. He left Kevin in the dark and gave him promises that were never delivered. Feel so sorry for Kevin Nolan and if this next manager appointment is shocking then I will be considering giving my season ticket back in. So angry. 

Let us know your thoughts down below.  

Now we’ve lost a board member. Obviously didn’t agree with the sacking

According to Charlie Slater the board have drawn up a short list of candidates and are interviewing this afternoon but have got to talk to clubs to get permission to speak to them, that suggests all or some are in work.

Not Charlie McParland then ????

He also said that he expected the new man to be in place for Saturdays game and Darren Flaetcher is still on the board and working normally contrary to twitter rumours.
