Morning all - It's that time again - my turn to go on Matchtalk on BBC Radio Nottingham this evening and attempt to explain away our beloved Notts County. Would love your thoughts and views so that I can put them forward. My thoughts are that we have had more managers than any other club - 52 in total - do we really want another? My frustration is with a chairman who made his fortune in Recruitment - and still does if you follow the fortunes of CSG - but clearly cannot recruit a football manager, either here or in Lincoln, to save his life! I have no quibble with the money he has put into the club - it is there for all to see in refurbished facilities, new floodlights etc etc. However, the bit I don't get is why would you not take good advice from market leaders in your field if you are looking to grow your business? If he had done that, he would have had more money in the bank, we would have more points on the board, and Ricardo Moniz would still be coaching keepy-uppies rather than taking us to the brink of the Vanarama!

which would you all choose change to a English manager who knows the lower league and knows the ins and outs of league two or would you give the philosophy approach a season and take a massive risk with a huge squad with some very talented players that would easily walk into top league two teams maybe even league one sides

I see the speculation has started on the new manager and Moniz hasn't even gone.......yet!

Steve Evans has been mentioned, how would you feel if he took over? I don't think I could stomach sitting so close to the dug out if he was in charge. I might not even go at all because I find the man completely obnoxious.

What about you?

does anyone think something is seriously wrong behind the scenes as a lot of people are saying Ricardo has fell out with the players that's why they were apparently dropped I've read that a lot of fans at the game yesterday were all saying there was a Thursday bust up between him an the players so they were dropped now if that's true I'm concerned because that indicates he's lost the dressing room an the team selection could be unchanged and there could be a lot of unhappy players like Carroll McLeod noble who all could demand moves if this is the case I do feel something strange is bein kept away from us as yesterday was very strange an his interview didn't reli give us much as to why he did it but who knows its a mystery at the minute but he does have a history of falling out with people

Dean Leacock has joined National League South Whitehawk FC.

What do you make of this? Are you surprised? Is this an all time low for a former Notts defender? What are your memories of Dean Leacock? Discuss...

good quality winger with pace and trickery good cross causes problems wen goes direct starting scoring goals to all over a sudden dropped off the face of the earth and on his Twitter fans have been asking is he injured he says no I'm not injured so moniz why has he all of a sudden been dropped but yet Jenner is above him in the order I wonder have you had another fallout this is the player we need in the squad or the bench his pace can scare teams to death

Is it Christmas come early?

Sorry moniz but it's clearly not working out for you what in gods name was that team selection ? so we go to orient probably one of the better teams in this league easily and you drop Carroll noble McLeod Hewitt Burke Campbell then bring Campbell on and play Barmby left back sorry that's a joke selection it's clear and simple has to go now we haven't been near the top 6 at all and looks like nothing's going to change we need a English manager who has lower league expierence this bumpy has spent money more then any club in this league and drops our first team literally sorry but this was a step to far I pay my money I but a season ticket every year but this is a joke

Orient accompanied us into L2 last season. One of the favourites for promotion from L1, their season was an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. 

 

Orient would have been many peoples tip to go straight back up this season and they started in spectacular fashion with 5 wins from 5 games. They have hit a bump in the road since though and haven't won in their last 5. Their latest defeat was a 2-1 home defeat to Carlisle. 

 

Orient have 2 quality players in Dean Cox and Jay Simpson. Cox is a real goal scoring threat from midfield. Simpson is an out and out goal scorer. 

 

Orient are a bit like Notts in that they like to play neat and attractive football. I think this will suit us. It has all the makings of a cracking game. I'm going for 3-2 to Notts. Izzy (2) and Campbell. 

in the development game against Chesterfield yesterday we won 3-2 with Jimmy spencer scoring and a grisliest getting two and also setting up Jimmy spencer for his goal I think that's 4or 5 now for Jimmy even tho it's only development reserve level also if anyone is interested the trailist is a attacking forward player

For those interested.

Smith 65  :lol: 
Noble only 57

 

I wish moniz would of sorted this out as soon as soon after the villa game when McLeod got fouled in that game an wanted the penalty against Crawley arguments again over who takes an tonight argument again an he gets it an misses don't get me wrong he's a quality striker but moniz has to take charge an say right noble is penalty taker end of

Daggers are struggling at the bottom of the table. One place outside the drop zone. They have won 1 game out of 9.
Being honest, I don't rate them at all, they will pose little threat against us. McClure up front needs watching but that's about it.
I think we'll cruise to a 3-0 win. Izzy, Campbell and Hollis.

I'm thinking of coming down for this one if anyone fancies a meetup?

A warm PoN welcome to @[member="Claypolepie"].Please have a good look around the site,join iin and enjoy.

Attacking midfielder / Left winger.

Are they on crystal meth at ML or something?!

Left wing - Jenner, Campbell, Burke
Attacking Mid - Noble, Thompson, Stead, Aborah. 


Centre Backs - Hollis and a CM, or Hollis and a fitness coach.

I can't be the only one?

From Nottm Post:

Alan Sheehan willing to rejoin Notts County after being told he can leave Bradford City on loan.


Today at 6:35 PM
By Nottingham Post

Alan Sheehan is open to a return to Notts County.

The Irishman has been told he can leave Bradford City on loan, which has put a number of League One clubs on alert for the former Magpies captain, who has just made his comeback from injury.

And the Post understands he would be more than willing to rejoin the Magpies, having made it clear they are the only League Two club he would join having helped inspire their 'Great Escape' under Shaun Derry in the 2013/14 season.

Notts' defence is currently under intense scrutiny, and the Magpies are currently playing without an authentic left-back, with Blair Adams and Rhys Sharpe currently out of favour.

Sheehan was a hugely popular character with the fans during the 'Great Escape' campaign when he helped lead the team clear of relegation.

He was crowned player of the season, having played 44 times and scored seven goals as Derry's side stayed up against all the odds.

Bradford then swooped for Sheehan, who can also play at centre-back, at the end of that season and handed the former Leeds United defender a two-year contract.

He made 31 appearances in his first season at the Bantams, scoring once.

And he has played three times so far this campaign and delivered an impressive performance on each occasion, but boss Phil Parkinson has decided he can leave the club on loan.

York are one of those teams pundits and fans alike tip for relegation before every season but they are still in the football league. 

 

York have had a steady start to the season by their standards. 9 points from 8 games, 1 point and 1 place below Notts. They have only won 1 away game and that was against a woeful Newport side. They are on a 3 game unbeaten run. They have a couple of decent players in midfield. James Berrett has added real quality since his arrival in the Summer. Luke Summerfield is another threat in midfield. Their main threat up front is Reese Thompson. A lively player who will cause problems. 

 

York are a high tempo, tackle everything type of side. They never give up, a good example was their comeback from 2 down at home to Carlise last weekend, impressive but even more impressive as they did it with 10 men. 

 

No disrespect to York but any team with promotion ambitions need to be beating sides like York at home. It won't be easy I reckon but we'll win. 2-1. Izzy and Burke. 

Saturday's Fixtures:
Burnley v Reading
Cardiff City v Charlton Athletic
Oldham Athletic v Wigan Athletic
Sheffield United v Doncaster Rovers
