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 falling 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. 

     

     

     

    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.

 

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.

 

Rest in peace Alex.

The first two goals was very similar (Jon Stead and Collins).

Very difficult to decide between the two, however Jon's is probably the more technically gifted because Collins just blitz through due to his pace and has very little to do other than to slot the shot into the back of the net.

Adam Campbell's goal was very good but just a pop at goal, the build up doesn't contribute towards it and it's just one of them out of the blue goals.

For me, Michael O'Connor's goal is the best. That would get a lot of credit if it happened if the Premier League or Championship. Very well taken goal.

Leicester City won't find another manager who can win the Premier League with a bunch of nobodies, you just know football's gone mad.

Well it looks like it is going to be an exciting relegation battle in L2. Obviously you'r rather not being involved but such is life. I've only included the teams with less than 40 points. Notts have 2 disadvantages, more games played (no club has played more games than Notts) and a shocking goal difference. That goal difference right now is effectively -1 in terms of points.

Game 33 - The Glovers (H)

Team: Yeovil Town

Date: 25/02/17

Where: Meadow Lane



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?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Graham Burke, he who used to play for Notts County then left for Shamrock Rovers before aiming a parting shot at the Magpies (what a rotter), has had a bit of a memorable debut for the Irish side.

From Pundit Arena (http://www.punditarena.com/football/sokeefe/graham-burke-rovers-red/):

The second half, however, (or the last fifteen minutes of it at least) was dominated by new Rovers signing Graham Burke. The former Aston Villa and Notts County forward was only introduced with twenty minutes remaining – replacing Roberto Lopes as visiting manager Stephen Bradey sought to claw something back – and his impact was felt almost instantly as he halved the deficit with a deflected effort that wrongfooted Dundalk keeper Gabriel Sava.

However, the 23-year-old threw away a lot of that goodwill just three minutes later for a disgraceful challenge on Jamie McGrath…

Ouch.

Who's going to Plymouth? Just a general roll call to see who within our community may be going to the Tuesday night game at Home Park. Don't forget to let us know on the PON social media.

Based on a mean of 5

Collin - 5.5   - So well protected by the back 4, had little to do. Good save at the end

Clackstone - 6 Continued on from Orient's second half performance. Had more time and space than Bola was afforded
Bola - 6 - Yeovil done their homework and nullified his forward runs
Hewitt - 6 - A different player. Good partnership with Hollis
Hollis - 6 Only one 50 pence piece header. Slotted in well, kept pressure off Collin

Yeates - 6 - Always looks a creative spark but did tire in second half.
O'Connor - 5  - Given the space on his side, didn't utilise it well
Milson - 6.5 - MoTM Covered a lot of ground. outshined O'Connor again
Grant - 5 - Flitted in and out

Stead - 6 - Effort but well marshalled
Ameobi - 6  - Again all effort but chance to create chances limitef

Campbell - 5 - not on  long to make an impact

Saturday's Fixtures:
Aston Villa v Derby County
Barnsley v Huddersfield Town

Evening all

February LeftLion review documenting the brave new world at Meadow Lane:

https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2017/february/left-magpie-february

Do you have any soft spots for any other national teams?

I went to the US game against Jamaica back on the 4th of this month, the game finished 1-1 but I attended as a natural. Since moving to the states I have developed a soft spot for the national team but I do also like Jamaica who are a shadow of their former selves (I guess even the US are).

Gladbach last night...

Lost the first leg 1-0 at home to Fiorentina

2-0 down after 40 minutes of the second leg, so 3-0 down on aggregate.

4 goals in 16 minutes to win the second leg 4-2 in Italy and go through...

I do a lot of media based work, so I am usually on a laptop. My default device is a powerhouse in terms of performance (it has to be when using photoshop and video editing). My old laptop had 8gb of ram, however I now have 16gb which is far better for multitasking and the type of work I need to perform.

My desktop hasn't been in use for a few years, not since it blew up in a storm we had. :(

There's times when I have to use a tablet or my phone, though my mobile is usually the go to device for doing tasks such as social media.

The EFL has published some of the key dates for things happening next season.

The 2017-18 fixtures will be released on Wednesday 21 June, the opening weekend of the season is that of Saturday 5 / Sunday 6 August, the regular season ends exactly nine months later (5/6 May) and the League Two playoff final is on Monday May 28.

For these and all the other dates, they're handily posted on this here link: http://www.efl.com/global/keydates.aspx

If you don't want to tempt fate and would rather write them down at the end of the season, tis up to you.

    A vibrant atmosphere on a matchday is great for the team , it shows real support and can give a great lift when up against it in games , personally I think it's good for the fans as well , gets them more involved and is an enjoyable part of a matchday experience , COYP 

    Last season after Ricardo was sacked, Meadow Lane just became very depressing.

    This season to a degree it's been quite awful, just the vibe and lack of atmosphere. Everything has been lifted with the sale of the club - its like a different place. Despite struggling, fans are showing that is support if you value it and Kevin Nolan seems very promising in terms of what he brings. Him and Alan Hardy seem to be the right pairing. Nolan is also quite amusing and another PON member mentioned how he reminds him of Martin Allen.

    Well the comment about fans telling their wives about them going to the game, that's MA all over. LOL

    hes brilliant, i think he just approaches things well.

    as a manager he speaks his mind and the honesty is refreshing, as is the sense of humour. without him or alan we would still be all gloomy so credit is deserved all round.

Has a club ever thrown away good wishes and sympathy as effectively as Sutton over the last few days?

1. Ditching their usual sponsor for 'The Sun' for a few squalid pounds - 30 pieces of silver comes to mind.
