Now with the transfer window closed until the end of the summer. (Yes I know we can still sign free agents) Who out of the new signing do you think will shine the most? 

For me it's Jorge Grant seems like a good player who will provide some energy and enthusiasm to a midfield that is just starting to look half decent. But Bola is someone who excites me just for the fact he's everything Dickinson is not. Also Yeates could be a little diamond in the rough for us, someone who can cross the ball and pull the strings.

Are you happy with the signings? I'm very happy.

Not a very cheerful topic or poll, but I would be interested to see what other fans would say.

I have a hard time not voting for 2011/12 as the sacking of Keith Curle may have turned out different if all involved had a bit more patience. As I recall quite a lot of fans felt his football was boring and drawing was enough to see it happen. Who knows how differently things may have turned out if we had made it one place higher. Yet this season takes some beating! If a cub was to write a textbook on how to not run a professional football club it would see this season feature for Notts.

Hello @JH96,

I read read your first post and thought I would be the first person to welcome you here on PON. Keep adding your views!

I felt it was time we had a specific thread for transfers rather than them being separate (Carlton Cole) Now that er are out of the embargo!

*just a heads up, no new signings can play tomorrow as the deadline was Friday/today at 12pm

I just noticed on Twitter that Nigel Clough has reportedly snubbed Forest.

There's been comments from both Forest and Notts fans with regards to Nigel, I think the tag 'Non-League Nigel' is quite misfitting. He's proven himself to be a very decent league manager. I also wonder why people, especially Notts think he wouldn't do well? He did for Derby and under their current situation there would probably be no one better for the task of handling a very restraining budget.

That said, It's better for Nigel that he didn't step into the poison water.

Sorry @Dan but I noticed a Mansfield croissant when making breakfast this morning, it seems to have grown an extra digit.....

Mark Yeates has arrived on permanent deal, until end of the season (classy media made a mistake), he's a winger and 32-years-old.

Quite hard working from my knowledge, also know he's the type that has plenty of experience in the two basement divisions. A part from that I will have to see him, we all know its how players settle and that records speak little but I'm just pleased to see that we have signed someone.

Thoughts?

Anyone else going? 1 pm start.

Game 28 - Red Devils (H)

Team: Crawley Town

Date: 28/01/17

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.

A warm hello to you @TheSkipper.

Join in with the community.

Collin 6.5 – not a lot to do, but did it competently.  No blame attached for their goal.

Tootle 7 – calm and composed, defended well.

Audel 7.5 – another good performance, puts his body on the line and plays as if it matters.

Duffy 7 – solid throughout, Duffy is a far better player than he has looked most of the season.

Hollis 7 – surprised to see him at left back, but did a pretty good job.

Thompson 7.5 – very competitive, some touches of class, shame about the deserved red card.

O’Connor 8* - led from the front, won countless challenges, an inspirational performance.

Milsom 7 – nothing spectacular, but gave us a real presence in midfield, a vital part of the team.

Campbell 7 – very hard-working, covered a lot of ground and did a great job of stopping them playing.

Forte 7 – got into some great positions, maybe didn’t make the most of them but a danger throughout.

Stead 6 – can’t fault his effort, but his touch was poor and he offered little threat.

Fantastic feeling to walk out of the ground after getting 3 points again, fully deserved through a real team effort especially winning it with 10 men.  The effort and application was 100%, but this is the standard we need to attain every week.  Full marks to Alan Hardy and Kevin Nolan for one small step forwards, this game should be one we look back on as the turning point in our season, let’s hope it is.

Magpies,

Congrats on the win today - written up some thoughts on the game: http://www.TheFootbalLab.co.uk/2017/notts-county-2-1-crawley-four-things-we-learnt/

Team deserves credit for their performance today, sensed the players were working for one another. Had setbacks like the sending off of Thompson, who I'd have said was your best player at that point, and their equalizer out of nowhere, yet performance level didn't drop.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Saturday's Fixtures:

So then - who was your man of the match today for Notts against Crawley and why?

Anyone here who needs cigarettes for lower price?

I'm  coming on match against Accrington Stanley 

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @Partizan-Notts County.

I'm aware of the connection between Partizan and Notts, a couple of my friends on Facebook are Partizan fans. However, I would be interested to learn a little more about yourself - care to tell us a little bit about your background of supporting both clubs?

Until then welcome to the community. We'll see you around!

Does anyone know if kids are allowed?

Alan hardy did his usual Friday QnA on the notts twitter and we are out of the embargo!

Bbcrns , KN , maybe Carlton Cole to NOTTS , what do you think people ? More news maybe on embargo in next 48/72 hours .

Anyone still following this car crash of a competition?

Hello All,

Need some help. Just moved into a new place, but I've been advised by the boss/wife that my Notts County flag isn't 'classy' (whatever that means) enough for the living room, and has been re-located to the spare room. 

So, what I need is a framed photo, print, piece of art work etc... related to Notts. I've had a look at Notts shop but nothing suiting...

Any suggestions from the PoN community???

 

It looks like your previous owners have left you without a paddle, yet I hope you aren't left up on the creek without a fighting chance of survival.

Despite my clubs turn around in recent years, we Owls understand what relegation is like and although we have not fallen into the fourth division. We have battled to be where we are now and hopefully you can. Notts is a grand away day, one the best irrespective of whatever league you play and your history is greater than the neighbours you share your city with (just like us ) but in all fairness to you, Notts are better than this, your fans deserve better and for this reason I hope you avoid the drop.

Good luck to Nolan and his merry men of fans!

It might be churlish to laugh at others while sitting 91st in the League, but I just can't help it.

What F*rest definitely need now is Gary Brazil!

One of my 2016 Christmas presents was a 4 disc special featuring music that is considered to be life changing.

This got me thinking about what other PON members like music wise and if they could name any music, bands, or songs that felt life changing when they first heard it/them. There is no surprise for me that David Bowie features more than six times within the collection of mostly classic songs. "Changes" for me was empowering and I still recall the first time that I heard it.
