I noticed that @Natty has unearthed on Facebook who the trailist keeper was in yesterday's game against Basford, It's Richard Walton and he looked alright.

He's only 20 and sounds more vocal than Pindroch does.

I thought he looked more experienced than a player in his 20's, so hopefully we take him on as the backup keeper. Give him some time against Derby and see. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/richard-walton/profil/spieler/407332

So Alan Hardy and Kevin Nolan have definitely stepped up there chase for promotion with the amount of signings so far.

Do you think that Kevin and Alan will make anymore or is that is.? 

Good decision by both Ronaldo and Real Madrid, he needs a fresh challenge and I think he would do very well in Italy. Fee is quite insane for a player of his age but he will make Juventus stronger, they really should further strengthen their squad up though.

I think Kevin Nolan should appoint David Vaughan as the new club captain, what does every else here think?

He has a good level of experience, David's lead previous clubs and he would be an influential player on the field. If not, I would say use the friendlies as a way to mentor who has the best leadership qualities and is able to make others focus/lift them.

Richard Duffy constantly swearing and his habit of making mistakes makes me hopeful somebody else will become the captain.

If not David, who else could be?

So the squad numbers are released dose anyone have the players number and name on their shirts or personalised shirt with wht number and name.?

one thing i have been doing since i was 16 is saving my wages, i dont go out much to places that costs me money and the only place i do is when i attend notts games. i hope to save enough to buy a home or apartment for myself one day, its the dream and i am working towards that.

what about you?

Squad numbers have finally been released have a look tell us what you think.

Did any one manage to go.? 

Was it a good game.? 

Thoughts 

So the question who else would you sign for the 18/19 season if you had the budget and it was up to you.?  

So the Russian dream has come to an end at the hands of Croatia in a penalty shootout. Russia came in to the World Cup the lowest ranked side and some only believed the only way they were in the World Cup was because they were the hosts. 

Thoughts guys on Russias elimination and performance over the World Cup.?

Morning all, another ramble for you.

I’m off on a family camping weekend with Mrs. Big Tone, our son, daughter in law and grandsons, this was planned earlier in the year when I wasn’t even thinking about the World Cup let alone that England would be playing in the quarter finals....who knew?

Anyway, I’m taking the portable telly and hoping to set it up in the awning of our camper so we can watch the match out of the glare of the sun, a few beers and a bbq afterwards, should be a good weekend. 

So what are you all up to? How are you watching the match? What else have you got planned?

Have a fun time whatever you are doing.

Jordan Pickford the man of the match?
