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 butย 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! 
ย
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.ย
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. ย 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 ?ย
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.ย
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. ย 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.ย
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.ย
If Kewell can have this much impact in two days, what can he do in two weeks ? ย

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.ย 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 definitelyย changed and I feel more confident with him now.
ย
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: 1ย
Total Games in Football League: 23
ย
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 Danย Jones will miss as a result of his straight on Saturday against Forest Green.

A great interview. Normally you can say talk is cheap but you look at the way he addresses the media. No smile, no shakyness. Pure emotion that he wants to do this job. I believe that if his actions are as good as his talk we will do exceptional.ย
I thought Kewell spoke better than Hardy, lets see where he can take us.

I would be inclined to agree.
I think understands the nature of the task at hand and he seems to know what's going wrong. Part of me felt even Kevin Nolan didn't understand just how bad things had gotten.

Do you feel Harry Kewell will get the job done for Notts?
I am curious to know what fans think about the chances of Harry Kewell having success at Notts, will he safe the club from relegation? Can he push Notts up the table and give League Two a promotion challenge?
Optimistically, I just wish to read that he has installed some sort of belief within the squad whilst steering the club to safety. I would write-off promotion for this because the league survival is far more important. I just hope Harry Kewell has enough about him to improve the defence whilst getting the best out of this Notts squad. There is time to turn things around I think, its just a question of if he can.
What would your targets for Harry Kewell be? And do you think he will get the job done?

Who's idea was it to play this straight after the game against Forest Green Rovers?
It rubbed salt into the wounds from seeing another 3-1 league defeat.

Good morning itโs Friday at last, I remember when I used to long for Fridays, the start of the weekend, now itโs just another day since retirement, mind you having said that I do like Fridays now as we always have a home made curry. Except today we arenโt because we have a big day tomorrow and we donโt want to smell of curry. More of that tomorrow.
Grandson George went to scouts for the first time last night and really enjoyed it, apparently they boiled water on a fire and played dodge ball, next week they are throwing axes! Sounds like a health and safety nightmare.ย 
ย I think scouts will be good for him, heโs a bit of a loner and doesnโt mix with other kids very well, hopefully scouts will bring him out a bit.
Right, as soon as all the kids are safely in school Iโm off for a run, I pass two schools and it canย get a bit busy so I wait till theyโre all inside.
Have a good day whatever you are up to.

It's fantasy land if Nolan thinks this squad is good enough? What is very apparent from the initial games, we have no height, no muscle, no guts to grind out results yet other teams are light years ahead of us. Relegation is a real possibility unless decent loan signings can be attracted, which may prove difficult in our position
https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/kevin-nolan-finds-astounding-not-1425585
I refer back to this link as to where things started going wrong. If he thought Hewitt and Duffy should have been contenders, I am sorry but I think he started losing the plot.
Hewitt looked good alongside Yates but since the latter's departure, the same Hewitt is the one that loses possession the most. The tightness of the defence for the first half of the season was down to Hewitt and Yates protecting the Centre backs.ย
Duffy, well this season, seems unaware of danger and lingers rather than challenging for the ball
Coaching staff in totality needs to look at themselves. Do the players know what they are supposed to be doing. After Lincoln, my answer has to be no
Well, Nolan looks a broken man and I beleive he needs replacing immediately. Gary Bowyer is available. I will leave it at that

So the new man is in charge things seems to be returning to normal structure gaffer in place etc so onย Saturday we travel to Exeter in a must win league tie.
I thought it may be good to hear your thoughts and opinions about the game on Saturday. for example do you think the new gaffer will have enough time to put measures in place and get the lads thinking positively. Can harry make a impact.?

Good morning PoN, itโs a cloudy start and cooler here. I hope everyone is ok especially the gaffer @Chris.
Iโve got more computer work to do today so I will probably be popping on here fron time to time. Thereโs not much else happening here, whatโs going on in your life, let PoN know.
Most of all have a great day.
Do you believe in Aliens?
There has to be more life outside of earth right? We cannot be the only living planet in the universe. A popular theory I have seen around the internet is that we live inside a simulated environment like you can see in the Matrix films. If this is true, where would this leave the belief of aliens existing? Are we the aliens living on this planet?
I thought this would be a fun and interesting discussion, nothing to take too seriously but have your say anyway.
