So the loan window and the transfer window has slammed shut the only way is free agents now. If you was the manager what position would you want to fill and dose age matter.? 

i know we are only 6 games into the season but i fear for relegation. the confidence seems low, the managerial merry go round is disappointing and i really feel the focus should have been on the defence.

im worried that the club will suffer for changing the shift and i dont see how the defence can improve especially with fitzsimons in goal.

Right ... we played very very well today and it is so frustrating because one man let the team down today and that is our No.1 Keeper. Fitz isn't fit enough to wear number 48 never mind number 1. He lacks confidence and it shows in his performances. His kicking is lazy and never reaches a player. His delivery is awful and his overall performances are woeful. He's slow to react and just looks like he does not care. MOTM for me was Hawkridge but he was not given enough time so I will give it to Vaughan. Vaughan, Hawkridge, Kellett and Stead all played very well. Hemmings is still lacking that cutting edge but is a real work horse. Dennis went missing and I thought bizarrely the defence did OK today. However stats don't lie and there is obvious problems with the defence. Fitz has got to do better. We are in serious trouble with him in between the sticks.

Pinch punch first of the month.

Good morning, it’s matchday and we are going to trounce FG Rovers aren’t we? Yes we are!

I’m off on a Park Run very soon, let’s see if I can break my personal best. Later on I’ll be at the San Sirrel to watch my beloved ‘pies. It’s going to be a good day, COME ON YOU PIES!

Crawley wanted 400k

Apologies if this has been posted before but for those who don’t follow Hardy on twitter he says he’s had a chat with Bowyer and they exchanged messages, Bowyer is happy to be out of football at the moment.

So we can forget about him. Next!

Morning all, the last day of August, it’ll soon be Autumn then winter, this year has gone quick. It’s a lovely sunny morning at the moment and it’s forecast to be a good day.

We are back from Crawley had a great time but good to get back home. Today is a big day for Notts so I will likely be catching up with the news of the Kewell appointment and hopefully new players coming in, that refresh button will get some hammer today.

Curry night tonight we’re going to have Chicken Passanda from the Rick Stein Taste of India cookbook.

Have a great day, what are you up to today?

So the King is dead long live the King.

Who do you want to be our next manager?

I'll probably be shot down for this but I wouldn't mind at all if they appointed Charlie McParland again, I thought he did pretty well for us last time around and was unlucky to get the sack, I also watch him on Notts TV's Team Talk programme and he talks some good sense, he is a football man through and through and is very knowledgeable about the game.

Who do you fancy to take over?

Good morning PoN, it’s a bright start here, looks like a decent day is coming.

We are still at Crawley visiting my big brother, had a nice walk yesterday then spent the day just chatting and reminiscing about when we were kids, living in a two up two down terraced house with outside toilet on Meadow Lane. Three boys in one tiny bedroom, you had to climb over beds to get out.

We’ve had a really great time, my brother is 80 now I can’t believe it, he’s as spritely and quick witted as ever, no health problems at all, I think he’ll outlive me and I’m 15 years younger.

Heading home today and tackling the dreaded M25, wish me luck.

Have a great day and don’t forget to tell us what you’re up to today.

So who’s going this Saturday to watch Notts against Forest Green this Saturday. 

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

Good morning PoN it’s raining here at Crawley where I’m visiting my brother. Lots chatting and reminiscing to do today before we head back tomorrow.

Sorry if I haven’t been around here much I’ll make up for it when I return.

I hope everyone has a good day, keep us informed what you are doing today and above all keep smiling.

Been rumoured on twitter today that interviews will be taking place today and tomorrow for the new manager position after seeking approval from clubs yesterday. Here is SkyBet's current favourites:

Harry Kewell - 4/7

Steve Chettle - 5/2

Gary Bowyer - 6/1

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink - 10/1

Michael Flynn - 12/1

Worst appointment for me would be JFH but the best would be Bowyer in my opinion. Kewell has won nothing and is currently at a mid table team no more no less. Hope Chettle can have the chance to string a few wins together to lift spirits as an interim manager. 

If you agree, disagree, wanted Kevin Nolan to do well.

It makes little difference now that he has been sacked, I was shocked when I loaded up PON's homepage and read the content titles about Nolan being sacked. After time I do see the reasoning behind it, it's not just this season but an accumulation of last season too.

However, since KN has gone, where does this leave the club?

What does the new manager need to do with this squad in order to make it a success on the pitch? Can a new manager be expected to turn the clubs poor start around quickly?

Good morning PoN it’s a cloudy start but a dry day forecast.

We are off to Crawley for a couple of days to see my big brother (well step brother actually) a few weeks ago I had a bad dream about him which upset me so I thought it’s about time I saw him again as he is now 80 years old!

I’m not looking forward to the long journey and the dreaded M25 but it’ll be nice to see my bro again so worth it.

While I’m there I think I’ll nip round and let Harry Kewells tyres down so he doesn’t make the interview at Meadow Lane. 

I see my topic about calls for KN’s head was shared on the PoN Facebook page and has had 63 comments but only 4 on here, where are all our regular readers? This used to be a great place for reasoned debate about Notts and life in general. 

The last post on here before this one was 23 hours ago. Come on people let’s get some good discussions going on here, I’m sick of reading Facebook and Twitter and some of the dross that post on there.
