Game 24 - The Shrimps (A)

Where: Globe Arena
What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Well done lads, terrific away performance. I was a bit concerned that we were sitting too deep and inviting them onto us in the first half but I needn't have worried. What's also encouraging is that four goals came from midfield today and Liam Noble will be eligible from the new year. Stead might not be putting them away at present but at least we're not dependent on him for goals.

Brilliant result, I was a bit concerned about our lack of striking power when the team was announced, but four goals away from home doesn't happen too often. It was good to see some of the fringe players like Jones, Hunt and Walker get a positive 90 minutes under their belt, we will need a strong and competitive squad going into the second half of the season to meet our target. Well done to all, especially Kevin Nolan, the changes he made once again came up trumps.

A strange game really. We never seemed to get out of 2nd gear (not that we needed to) and just sort of plodded along in the game and the scoreline seemed like an inevitability by the end.
A point to note though that Morecambe were especially poor, probably the worst I've seen this season. They can't play like that every week because they've had some decent results against some good sides, but yesterday they were abysmal. Steven Old was rubbish at the back, as he was 10 years ago when I watched him in the A-league. 50p head. His mate didn't help either, it seemed that Stead was allowed to take balls down or win headers with very little resistance, we didn't see him flailing on the floor for most of the game as we usually do. Then to mention the gigantic gap between defence and midfield that they gave us free access to. Jorge Grant and Alessandra had all the space, and their midfield didn't seem to keen is closing it down and their defence definitely weren't about to step up.
After watching that, you can see 100% we made the correct decision letting Adam Campbell go. It was a typical Campbell performance we saw yesterday, and we've seen it oh so many times before, lots of running about, some neat touches, but ultimately 0 impact on the game and couldn't finish in a brothel. You have to worry for the lad as if he can't make it at a team like Morecambe, he will drop out of the league.
Some pleasing things for us were the defending which was generally solid - only a wonder goal prevented a clean sheet. Hewitt, Yates and Walker all looked really clever on the ball. I don't know why we don't try and keep the ball on the ground when we're obviously the technically better side, as we were yesterday. There were some periods of nice play, but some seem scared to make a mistake. You're 3, 4 to none up, away from home and 75 mins on the clock? Get the ball on the deck and spray it about a bit.

Sky Sports has ranked all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs by their winning percentage on Boxing Day.
Burton Albion sit top of the table, having won four of their five Boxing Day fixtures since being promoted to the EFL in 2009.
The key question, of course, is "where are Notts?" The answer is 63rd place, with 29 wins from 82 BD games and thus a win percentage of 35.37%.
Really, they should have taken into account draws and defeats as well to be honest, but hey, it's something up for discussion.

Hi,
You may know I'm the pre-match reporter for the Port Vale Fans Forum One Vale Fan.
Part of my role is to contact fans of our forthcoming opponents to ask them a few questions and gain their views on the upcoming fixture between our sides in order to produce a report which we release on the site a couple of days prior to the game. Some of you kindly contributed to our reverse fixture article and I wondered if some posters would like to take part by answering some different questions.
I wondered if up to three of you have a few minutes and would kindly offer your feelings on the game by answering the following few questions;
1. Tell us a bit about yourself & history as a fan?
2. How are your team doing (current form and in relation to the expectation of fans at the start of the season) and where do you think you will finish the season?
3. Who should we watch out for (one or more danger player/s)?
4. What are your thoughts on your manager?
5. Can you tell us up to 3 quirky things opposing fans might not know about your team?
6. Any views on the current Port Vale team & specific players?
7. Did you attend the reverse fixture earlier this season? If so what were your thoughts on the game?
8. Any views & memories of players / managers that have been involved with both teams and which Vale player past or present would you take for your team?
9. A score prediction (and potential scorers for both sides) and what do you expect the attendance to be?
10. Finally can you pass on any decent recommendations for local ‘away friendly pubs’, eateries and the best places to park for our fans travelling to the game?
To enable me to produce this in good time I need a reply by Friday and the report should appear on the website a day or two before our fixture.
Please also let me know if you would like me to include your name on the article and if you are prepared to share one a photo of yourself we can utilise with the article.
Many thanks for your potential support in this matter.
Best Regards,
REP

Not an easy game to rate, but here's my two penn'orth:
Fitzsimons 6 – not much chance with any of their goals, didn’t have a lot to do otherwise.
Tootle 6 – an average performance
Duffy 6 – nothing special but no real errors
Brisley 6 – silly booking but made up for it with a goal.
Dickinson 5.5 – not up to his recent standard
Hawkridge 5 – saw a fair bit of the ball but didn’t do a lot with it
Hewitt 6 – average, his long throws were a bit better
Yates 6.5 – competed well, helped us hold our shape
Grant 4.5 – couldn’t beat his full back, probably his worst game yet
Stead 5.5 – tried hard, but not a lot worked
Ameobi 7* - some classy touches, could have done better with the chances he had
Allesandra 7 – soon got into the game, good goal and offered us more of a threat
Jones 6 – good cross to get us back in the game
Forte 6.5 – seemed to be injured soon after coming on, but stuck at it to earn us a point
A point few would have envisaged at 0-3, especially with Ameobi and Forte struggling with injuries. We now need 3 points at Morecambe, even though our striking options could well be limited. The spirit of this squad can’t be questioned, but I still think we need some inspired transfer activity in January to become genuine top 3 contenders.
Other views welcomed.

The Video Assistant Referee will be used for the first time in English football in the third round of the FA Cup in January.
Director of Professional Game Relations at the FA, Andy Ambler, told theFA.com:
'The FA has always been open to trialling new innovations and was heavily involved in the advancement of goal-line technology before it was introduced. The trialling of the VAR system in this season`s Emirates FA Cup from the third round is a continuation of that and further demonstrates that whilst being the most famous and historic domestic cup competition in the world it is also modern, progressive and innovative.'
Do you think it's a good idea? Will it make a difference? Let's hear your thoughts.

Shaun Derry is returning to Notts County this weekend with his Cambridge United side, and at PON we wanted your opinion on the following:
Could Derry have been more of a success if he had the resources and support that Kevin Nolan has at present with Alan Hardy at the helm of the club?
Let's get your thoughts.

With Adam Collin back in full training and Kevin Nolan facing a selection headache in terms of picking either Collin or Ross Fitzsimons, here's a way he could determine the starting goalkeeper each week.

In the matchday programme for Notts County's home game with Grimsby (and reshared by The Post), Shaun Brisley reveals that he follows a vegan diet.
He adds that it has aided his performances, giving him more energy and keeping tiredness at bay.
Never knew this about Shaun. If it works for him then by all means keep it up!

Well it's match day, I won't be at Meadow Lane today as I will be celebrating @cheeky~k8's birthday - hopefully if Notts win it will be a double celebration.
I think it's going to prove to be a difficult tie, it will certainly be interesting to see how we compare to them. We should be alright if we focus on the right areas, it's just a question will we this week? COYP
0-0 neither team stood out, both teams nullified each other's attacks..
Fair play to Grimsby they stopped us playing and made it hard for us to beat them and over the course of the 90 minutes, I'd say they looked the more likely to win it.
Would've been harsh on either team if they lost.

Can only agree with @Fozzy, it was a bit of a drag to watch but that was partly testament to Grimsby's good defensive work. The visitors had a couple of decent chances in the first half that could easily have gone in had there been a more clinical finish / less alert keeper, so I'm not unhappy with the point. It was a good crowd and sounded a good atmosphere, shame the match didn't really live up to it.

Hi
I'm an exiled Everton fan living in Nottingham. Your club have been kind enough to donate two home match tickets for your match against Crawley Town to me, as I'm raising funds for St John's Ambulance. I am hoping to get enough interest to raffle the tickets off via your forum. All 'sales' will essentially be a donation directly to my JustGiving page (linked below). I've used my extremely limited knowledge of your current squad (gathered from a combination of seeing you dispatch a young Everton side in the EFL trophy, sitting through a 1-0 win over Swindon in the pouring rain, and a bunch of Channel 5 highlights), and thrown in a few apparent club legends (based solely on Wikipedia), to gather a list of 20 names. The idea is that you donate £3 to the page, and pick a player from the list. Once all names have gone, I'll add them all to the following website, and generate a winner - http://www.randomresult.com/pick.php
I've got a voucher from the club at the moment. I can contact them and leave the contact details of the winner for collection (I will send the covering letter and voucher in the post as well), or can arrange to collect the tickets myself and post them out. I've attached a picture of the letter received, just to give peace of mind.
Page to donate £3 - www.justgiving.com/simurraymarathon - All help and support is very much appreciated. I'll be sure to check back regularly and mark what names have gone. The closing date for entry is 17th December 2017, and I will draw from whatever names have been sold on this date. When donating, there is a section to leave a comment, so the name of the player can be left there. Alternatively, you can enter via text, by texting 'SIMU89 £3' to 70070. If you DM me the player of choice after donating then I'll sort from there.
1 - Adam Collin
2 - Matt Tootle
3 - Carl Dickinson
4 - Elliot Hewitt
5 - Richard Duffy
6 - Jimmy Sirrell
7 - Tommy Lawton
8 - Michael O'Connor
9 - Shola Ameobi
10 - Jorge Grant

15 - Curtis Thompson
16 -Neil Warnock
17 - Alan Smith
