Mansfield manager and his assistant have resigned.
https://www.mansfieldtown.net/news/2018/february/club-statement/
Forest Green L - FGR won 3 of their last 5 games. All 3 wins came at home. Notts' away form speaks for itself
Mansfield D - Typical non win in the derby
Chesterfield D - TV Cameras, away from home, local derby. Of course we won't win
Wycombe W - Don't rate Wycombe at all tbh
Accrington L - Normal against these and especially with them having about 30 penalties in their last 10 games
Coventry D - Big game, big atmosphere, be a good crowd like 2014-15 game at Meadow Lane
Colchester D - Notts away form again
Yeovil W - Yeovil awful side, if we don't beat them I'm worried
Grimsby D - Play them just at the wrong time yet again as no doubt they'll be out of trouble by late April with the Jolley Roger in charge
Luton D - Luton won't be arsed after picking up the title. We won't beat them. Not enough quality
What are you thoughts on this and what results do you think Notts will pick up from now till the end of the season?

I was just reading @Joe Jones‘s article about Jorge Grant and in it he says his celebration of putting his hands to his ears was to block out the haters.
How on earth can a lad who’s scored 18 goals from midfield have haters? If KN had said at the beginning of the season that he was going to sign a midfielder who would score 18 goals before March we would have been over the moon, what is wrong with these people?

It's not been that long since I last watched 'The Blob' but I find myself wanting to see it again, the other week I also watched 'Slither' which is a fun film. Funnily enough, both films contain cast members from The Walking Dead.
I aim to draw up a list of monster films, I may even watch some of the classic hammer films.
So, I hope PON members can throw me some suggestions but also name movies which they have enjoyed themselves. Let get this discussion going! I think it would be fun.

Over recent weeks I've doubted whether my vlogs are good enough anymore.
I feel like they are repetitive and whilst I tried to add new stuff in, in the Stevenage vlog, I don't think it made a difference
How do you guys feel about them?

Are we all ready for the heavy snow and freezing conditions which is forecast for this week?
It’s snowing here at the moment, I hope we don’t get too much, snow is ok when when you are inside and cosy looking out but if you have to travel it can be a nightmare.
Anyone got any snow yet? Are you looking forward to it or dreading it?

So we're about to head into March and any hopes of dreams of this winter finally being put to bed have been crushed with the arrival of the "Beast from the East" (curse you Ivan Drago)!
As a nation we're not exactly super-equipped for adverse weather and one of the ways this has manifested itself is with a spate of football games across the country being postponed.
Notts have been alright so far, none of our games have been postponed, but there have been loads called off in Scotland (including some in the Premiership) plus a couple in League One, League Two and non-league.
This has made me think - what's the toughest football winter you recall as a Notts fan?

A little bird tells me it’s @super_ram‘s Birthday today, where is the old bugger? I’ve not seen him on here lately, come out, come out, where ever you are.
Seriously, hope you are well Mr. Ram and have a great day.

My agent has been in negotiations with @Chrisand I have decided to re-sign for PoN on loan.
I haven't been around for a while I have changed my name some of you may remember me as Tony Hateley but it got confusing because people thought I might be the real Tony who is sadly no longer with us. So I have changed to Fan of Big Tone which is also my twitter account name. It's good to see some names on here I recognise from my previous time I hope I am welcome back.
Right, off to see what's changed on here.

Alan Hardy has urged fans to "watch this space" when Notts County's season ticket packages come out in around three weeks' time.
Nottingham Forest have just released their prices, prompting Notts fans to get in touch with Hardy on Twitter for his thoughts.
Let's get your thoughts on this - should Hardy look to match or even beat Forest's season ticket deals?

This sounds as if it could have been pretty serious. Thank goodness the Nottingham Post reporter knew what to do.

I used to be a cook and, I have worked as a chef (although I was more assisting the main chef in the hotel) - I did technically make and help create the food from scratch.
It's something I enjoy but due to my knees, I can't really do it as much as I'd like and my wife has to assist with things as the pain is often that overbearing that I hate to bend. Yet I do bake when I can, I also love to make pizza's - I've pretty much nailed a in-between version of Pizza Hut and Domino's.
This got me thinking, what does PON members enjoy creating food wise and do you like cooking?

Collin 5 Yes, a clean sheet, a well caught cross at game's end, but all positives negated with his inability to distribute, to build attacks.
Tootle 5.5 well protected by The Hawk, defence not under real pressure
Duffy 6 winning headers to help create goal scoring situations
Hall 7 looking like a good player, hopefully we can make an offer to him come the summer. Nice knock down for Shola to score
Dicko 6 His mistake nearly cost us a goal in the early minutes, but did make some good offensive plays, following on from such in the early minutes at Newport
Hewitt 6 all the effort again but missed a great chance from The Hawk's cross
Husin 4.5 Yes, he can play some neat passes but he really needs to man-up to challenges in midfield. Too easily brushed aside
Hawkridge 6.5 Team looks better with his presence. Some good crosses but his defensive work always catches the eye
Alessandra 4 Exactly what does he bring to the table. This should have been a game to show what he can do. Game changer was his replacement by Jorge
Stead 5.5 Disappointing he chose the wrong option at start of 2nd half, a quick lay off to Shola, it could have been 1-0 on 46 minutes
Shola 7 Heavily marked but consistently won 90% or so of his headers. Great reaction to Hall's knock down
Sub
Grant 6.5 Back to his best, an ability to hit the ball
Smith 5 weakened attack when Shola went off

Notts defended very little within the first half, we just pressed off Stevenage and a better team would have had a field day. I felt sorry for Collin for this reason, the amount of pressure being piled on and the amount of shots he saved it was a joke - he had no protection.
Yes, his distribution at times should have been quicker but every time he did it would only come back to him.
I do feel Ross Fitzsimons should now be given a go and if Ross does well, he should keep the starting place but if not - maybe some can be less harsher on him? Probably not but it seems unfair at times.
Jorge Grant made a difference, he didn't play great but he shown that little bit of class that changes games.
Once we scored we grew in confidence and we started to play better, I felt both teams overall performed very poorly and it wasn't the best match. Yet the result and three points are vital.

No it wasn't a great match but 3 points were very welcome, we need to up our performance against Mansfield though because they are in good form at the moment and will be up for it. I wish the fans wouldn't be so quick to get on Collin's back, I really don't think it will help his game to hear the criticism at the match.
I thought Jorge when he came on looked really back to something like his best, it seemed to give the whole team a lift.
We lacked pace, the defending was awful. The game was screaming out a 0-0 draw but the goal Grant scored completely changed the outcome.
More focus on creating chances and taking responsibility at the back is required. Good win mind.

We'll be outside the playoff positions come the start of March, it was good while it lasted but we were never going to stay up there unless we strengthened sufficiently and we haven't, not blaming anyone just the cold hard facts.
Hopefully Nolan will learn that you have to be ruthless to get anywhere and if you look back to the end of last season he had the perfect chance to clear the decks but felt an affection towards players who had kept us up.

Yes, we'll do well if we are still in the playoffs at the end of the season. We did need to strengthen more in the January window but we've been unfortunate with the loss of the Derby lad who would have brought an new attacking dimension.
Having said that we had some things go in our favour in the autumn where we scrambled a result or two, so I don't think this team was going to maintain second position. Nolan has done a great job getting us to this point, and he's done it by getting the best out of lads who were previously performing poorly so we don't want to lose that factor but we clearly will need to strengthen more in the summer so we can really go for an automatic next season. Stead, Ameobi and Smith have been great players but expecting them to provide what's needed up front, week by week, was a big ask which they are struggling to deliver consistently. Forte will score the odd goal but he doesn't contribute nearly enough in his all round game to deserve a starting place. So I suggest we need to lose at least one of the senior lads and Forte in the summer and bring three strikers in. Ikpeazu would be a start.

Ikpeazu is out of contract in the summer, I think we could do far worse than sign him, all we then need is a smaller more skillful / quick goalscorer and we'll be a match for anyone up top.
Personally I'd like to see Jorge play alongside a lad like Ikpeazu, he can drift about dragging defenders into positions they don't want to go and his ability and touch would be better used up top imo.
Jamie Fullarton, of all people, has got himself a job in football again
