Good morning it looks lovely out there so let's hope the good weather continues.

Things look much better after the match last night, it's amazing how a football match can affect your mood.

I've got more catching up to do on the computer today, a few emails to send etc. so I'll probably be indoors all day but if I get chance there's some gardening to do.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, my holiday ramblings have finished so the daily thread is back :clapping: I'm sure you are all excited about that. :rollseyes:

Today is a day of catching up for me, emptying the van, sorting the washing, catching up on emails, snail mail etc. and of course most important ITS MATCHDAY :clapping: so later I will be popping down the lane to see the rampant magpies demolish Creepy Crawley (or not) :biggrin:

What has the day got in store for you? Let us know.

With the absolute horror show that I and 500 other fans went to watch on Saturday, I wonder if there will be any real change in the starting 11 in tonight's match against Crawley.

For me it would be:

Loach

Amevor (is hewitt fit?), Sprockel, Audel, Swerts

Aborah, Thompson

Snijders, Noble, Campbell

McLeod

What would you like our 11 to be? What are your score predictions?

Izale McLeod has given a frank interview to local media about his departure from former club Crawley Town.

He left the Broadfield under a bit of a dark cloud, with Red Devils fans seemingly unhappy with how he went about things.

The most telling aspect of it is when he said: "But what people outside of football don't realise is how clubs manipulate situations to make the players look bad."

Here's the article - what do you make of his thoughts on the situation?

Took @[member="GrannyPie"] to the docs for her regular INR blood test.She should have gone last Monday but was suffering badly with the 'bug' some of us had at Skegness.I wasn't looking forward to this as the weather forecast wasn't very good but we made it there and back without getting wet.Catching up with PoN now.Hope everyone has a good day.

Billy Daniels has left Notts County after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.

Well, what's going on?

@Blackville and I went to the Grimsby game - what a waste of money and effort, the less said about that performance the better.

We also went to the Mansfield game, which I really enjoyed despite the result. More entertainment than in whole months of last season. However, things seem to have gone down hill since then, and I'm beginning to wonder if renewing our season tickets was wise.

Have we made a mistake?

Notts Reserves played their first game this afternoon at Arnold in the Football League's Final Third Development League against Grimsby.

Notts team:

Pilks

Richards, Aghatise, Bennett, Adams

Sarpong, Wildin, Wroe, Valencic, Gibson

Spencer

Subs:

Rutty-Smith

Parkes

McMillan

Payling

Layton

After only a few minutes Spencer made it 1-0 when he received a good through ball, side stepped the keeper and rolled it into the empty net.

HT 1-0

Larty Sarpong made it 2-0 after 50 minutes.

FT 2-0

I cancelled my MagpiePlayer subscription many months ago because I wasn't using it much and most of the content I could get elsewhere for free. However this morning I checked my bank account and found that £37.99 had been taken from the account.

I have emailed the media department but as yet have had no reply. So just be warned that if you do cancel MagpiePlayer make sure you cance it with your bank as well.

Morning all, we've moved from Norfolk where we met up with 40ish other silly buggers who like to park in a field in the middle of nowhere and moved to Chichester on a farm campsite. Had a nice posh meal with Brother in law and his wife last night washed down with a pint of Talors Landlord.

During the night we woke to a drip drip drip sound during torrential rain, the water was dripping on my bed, so it seems we have a leak, luckily we are going to the Isle of Wight where the van was manufactured and hopefully they can sort it out for us, that is if we can get to the Isle of Wight! There is a howling gale blowing at the moment I just hope the ferries don't stop running.

Typical I missed a great win on Saturday but in a way I'm glad I wasn't there because my next door neighbour sat in my seat and got smacked in the head by the ball, I hope he is ok, I left a message on his phone but he hasn't been in touch so can't find out how he is.

Have a great day everyone whatever you are doing.

So now we have seen it around for a while, how are we all liking the new shirt designs?

I had a meeting in Nottm Centre so I nipped in this pm to check again. Still not sure on the big red sponsorship label! (Although from what I gather it is a seriously good sponsorship deal so it's worth it!)

I have asked them to order in a ladies version in a mans size for me! Much more discreet sponsor and exact same shirt!

It will be good to get back to playing the genuine Dons after a few seasons having to put up with playing the fake Dons. 

Wimbledon are 2 points ahead of us in the table. They have scored in all of their league games up to now. They have scored 8 goals in 7 games and conceded 9 goals. Their home form isn't great, 1 win and 2 defeats, but both those losses are to promotion contenders (Plymouth and Cambridge). 

Wimbledon are very similar to Morecambe. They are a well managed side. They are physical and play a high tempo game. Their talisman is the beast aka Adebayo Akinfenwa. He doesn't move around much but is a deadly finisher. He's going to pose a new sort of challenge for our back 4. The Dons will be a constant danger from set pieces. If we defend these badly, it will be a long day at the office. 

I think this game will tell us how much we have come from that battering at Morecambe. Let's see if we have learned the lessons. I think we have and I reckon we will grind out a 2-1 win. Izzy and Noble. 

I just love this guys way of thinking.

Does this lad deserve more of a try in the first team? He seems to be doing well in the reserve team, pre season and when he gets a game.

Before the start of the season, this would have been seen as a battle between promotion favourites. If you said Notts would be 22nd and Luton 17th at this stage, the fans would have laughed at you, but that is the reality of it. 

Luton won their first league game last weekend. They are still in the JPT and only lost on penalties to Stoke in the LC so they have shown glimpses of how good they can be.

Their main threat is Craig Mackail Smith but they have quality throughout their side. Danny Green in Midfield is a real threat. Liam Noble is back and it couldn't come at a better time. 

This has the makings of an absolute cracker. Goals galore I feel, but I think Luton are in a better place than us right now. I'll go for 3-2 to Luton. Izzy with both goals for us. 

Another new member has joined the ranks, a big welcome to @Notts26, I hope you enjoy the forum.

Can I just thank the right honourable @[member="Dan"] for providing me with evidence to back up my own photo of the said person!

Tut tut @[member="notts-joe"]!

Just a quick show of hands so to speak.

Has anyone ever won anything on Lifeline?

I ritually check every week and still no joy!

Worthwhile cause and all and won't stop it. Just wondering!
