Would you like to see Notts working with a parent club? Enabling us to get some better youngsters or reserve players into the club.

Hardy recently tweeted that he had challenged the academy to get some higher profile games, which they achieved but I would like to see us networking better with other clubs. Get some quality in and see if this can encourage the crop of talent we have.

Vice Sports has written a piece about the last few years at Notts County.

Quite well written and enjoyable read - also featuring quotes by someone whose name you might recognise.

Have a read and share your thoughts folks!

  • Collin - 3.5 I get really annoyed at his woeful distribution when he has the opportunity to release the ball quickly. Bola, time and time again made himself available to receive but Collin couldn't spot an opportunity to relieve the pressure.His general positioning as a keeper is still questionable. Never takes the responsibility to shout instructions when the central defenders needed helping
  • Clackstone 2.5 Fell far short of what was expected. Out jumped for their first. Nolan should have taken him off a half time. What was worrying, is that Bola was taken off when ALL the problems were down Clackstone's sideBooked at 59min2
  • Hewitt 5 Concentration still wanders at times.
  • Hollis 6 MoTM Easy choice today. Not brilliant but did OK
  • Bola 5 Not at his best but shouldn't have been subbed.Β Substituted for
  • Thompson 5 Better 2nd half when moved into the centre. Despite his work rate, still cannot influence the game through creative passing
  • Grant 4 Went missing for long periods today
  • Milsom 4 Way below par for his recent performances. There was a real collective failure to compete for the second ball
  • Yeates 4 Shallow compared to Mcanuff's performance for Stevenage...Why couldn't we get McAnuff last summer?Substituted fo
  • Ameobi 4 denied by good save from Day. Never got any decent service. Over hit cross from Clackstone removed his one real chance 2nd half
  • Stead 4 Not a good day at the office. Inability of our midfield to construct anything cohesively didn't help. Missed a good chance in the 1st half firing wide when cutting inside.

  • Despite our recent form before the game, I think if I'd have been told that (at the start of the week) we would get 3/6 points from two tough away matches - I'd have been pretty happy. Table position only looks a bit disappointing cause none of the results around us went our way. However, 3 points separates us and 17th and our 5 match unbeaten run before that shouldn't be forgot.

    It'll be good to see how the boys bounce back from this. We have two home games (Hartlepool & Barnet)Β that I think we can get maximum points from, whilst two difficult away games (Doncaster & Wycombe) that any result should be seen as a positive.

    Personally, I think back to October/November where I watched some of the most negative football I've seen at Meadow Lane for a while - just happy to see some spirit from the lads, been impressed with the addition of Bola and Grant whilst Ameobi has allowed Jon Stead to focus a bit more on being a striker rather than having to run around trying to pick up the team. I know no one isΒ  being negative, justΒ happy to let Nolan try a few things and hopefully build on towards better things next year

    Good to see a new name posting, and you're right too @ELL100T. If we carry on picking up points we could make quick progress. But that's a big "if". We can already see how big the win at Orient was, defeat there and we would have been in the relegation zone right now instead of enjoying a five-point cushion.

    Stevenage might be ordinary but they are fifth for a reason. They're effective and we've got to be effective too.

Who was your man of the match for Notts County at Stevenage?

Absolute Radio have a game they play across their social media, they invite people to tweet, e-mail and text in players names which has been adapted to a certain subject - for example Footballers with rude names, to which the manager could be Arsene Wa**er.

Well, I'd like to see if we can name a Notts XI purely made up of funny names (you can adapt the name to fit).

Manager:

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β  Goalkeeper
Right back - Centre Back - Centre Back - Left Back

Β Β Β Β Β Β  Winger - Centre Midfielder - Winger

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β  Attacking Midfielder

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β  Striker - Striker

So, c'mon lets have a bit of fun by naming a squad of Notts players who either had funny names or ones that sounded amusing.

Best doesn't always mean highest, so I think yesterday's attendance was the most encouraging for years and years. Well done to AH, KN and the players.

Can anyone think of a better one in the circumstances?

Thinking back to comments I read online after the appointment of Kevin Nolan, most fans was eager to give him a fair chance. Yet I do recall reading concerns about him not having experience or being familiar with a full on relegation battle. This hasn't stopped him from turning things around highlighted by the very well written article by @Joe Jones.

I am encouraged as an exile fan currently living life out over in the United States that the club may have finally found a manager who has the ability and contacts to move the club forward. Combined with a passionate chairman who is eager to see his investment secure.

My question to you is, what would your early assessment of Kevin Nolan be?

Are you happy with his management style? I am, he seems to be a motivator and someone who gets the best out of his squad.

Do you dislike anything about his approach? I keep seeing comments about him leaving substitutes late, is this really a bad thing? I am very curious for your input.

Tuesday night's Fixtures:
Blckburn Rovers v Derby County
Brighton & Hove Albion v Newcastle United
Bury v Coventry City
Swindon Town v Gillingham
Blackpool v Barnet
Hartlepool United v Crewe Alexandra


Just to let you all know, I may not get around to posting the scores and table following this round until Wednesday or Thursday evening, as I'll be at Plymouth Tuesday night then I'm off over to Northern Ireland for a few days on Wednesday. Will be able to update everything once we're there and settled!Β 

Really simple topic, who do you thinks going to get promoted and who will be relegated? Β And to keep it Notts related where will Notts finish? I'm going to say 16th.Β 

Promoted:Β 

Doncaster - champions

Plymouth - Runners upΒ 

Portsmouth - 3rd

Play off winners: ItΒ makes me sick to say it but I can see Mansfield winning it.

Β 

Relegated: Orient and CreweΒ 

Β 

I thought it was time for a thread dedicated to the glorious careers our recent ex-players are enjoying.

Number one: Callum Ball has signed for Barwell in the Evo-Stik Premier from Corby Town. He aims to help his new club reach the lofty heights of the top half of the table.

    The comments under that report are more interesting than the report itself! Plenty of sour grapes there :D

    It's a good sign when opposition fans are moaning about you instead of offering you sympathy.

    Plymouth may well be turning into the Arsenal of League 2, look good up until Christmas and then fallingΒ away.

    Excellent and unexpected result from Notts, but much needed after failing to beat Yeovil at the weekend. I reckon another 10 points should see us safe this season as I can't see either Orient, or Newport gathering any more than that.Β

    Did anyone else hear the moans and whines from the Plymouth fans virtually every minute? It was quite amusing, and I kept thinking 'how we've been there' but I don't think they created a very good atmosphere - it probably only encourage our players and fans (who sounded up for it even before kick-off).

    It was a fantastic performance and hopefully it over shadows last Tuesday (which it should do).

    We can't win every game but I'd take a win over Plymouth any day of the week, rather than a loss or win over Yeovil (if we could only have one or the other). The point is massive block towards the confidence in which Nolan is building. What is these clean sheets we are getting now? Massive change but we need to keep our focus. I don't think Nolan will allow anyone to lose that or their belief. COYP!

I notice that in the match stats for the Plymouth game, an hour before KO both teams are given 50% possession. Is this strictly accurate? How can it be shown that NCFC have had exactly 50% of the zero possession so far in this game. Should the statistics start at 0% for each side? Immediately after KO one team will be on 100% and the other on 0% so I don't see how a team can go from 50% to 0% in a nanosecond...:thumbsup:

RIP Alex Young-the Golden Vision.

Β 

I've been lucky enough to see Pele, Messi, Maradona, Cruyff, Netzer, Charlton, Ronaldo etc. etc play live, but Alex Young had more talent, grace, balance and finesse than all of them. He was truly beautiful to watch play.

Β 

Rest in peace Alex.
