Did anyone get the alert? A loud siren alert to warn of serious weather conditions. Millions in the west of the country received and our son and daughter in law got it, they live a couple of mile down the road from us but we didn’t get it. Weird.
-
We didn't get an alert here although we do have an amber alert in place.
I suppose the alarm is for a red alert, but that only applies to Wales at the moment.
-
No, I don’t have it turned on because I find it unappealing to have notifications buzzing on my phone to convey information that I could just read or view myself.I am sure some people will find it useful, but I am mindful of the panic such alerts could cause.
-
I don’t know why our son got it, they must think he’s in Wales.

How come he never did this for us?

I personally feel that Junior Morias wasn't utilised to his full potential while he was with us. His brief appearances showed glimpses of talent that perhaps needed a bit of nurturing with consistent playtime. The club’s decision to loan him out, at a time when we could have used a player like him upfront, still baffles me.
With his contract nearing its end, I think we’ve missed a trick here. He might just find the form elsewhere that makes us regret not giving him a fair shot. Signings sometimes don’t work out, but considering our ongoing struggles for goals, giving Junior more playtime could have been beneficial for both parties.
-
Going against the grain, Junior to me, appeared a panic signing when we were short up front.
-
Watching Junior Morias perform at Dagenham, I can’t help but wonder what might have been. His time with Notts was brief, yet the flashes of brilliance were unmistakable. It’s disappointing the club didn't invest more time into developing his skill set here.
I understand football is often a game of results and decisions sometimes veer towards immediate impact over potential. However, with our current form lacking, nurturing a player like Junior could have proved beneficial in the long run.
Every club has its share of might-have-beens, and for us, Junior stands out as one. It’s imperative we learn to not repeat such oversights with future talents.

Who's your Notts man of the match v Walsall?
31 members have voted
It was a narrow defeat for Notts tonight, but despite the defeat, there were some good performances.
My player shortlist for Man of the match is as follows:-
McGoldrick, Hinchy, Ness, Bedeau, Palmer, Tsaroulla, Jatta, Cisse.
- Show previous comments 9 more
-
I agree, it would be between two of the names mentioned in the voting, and I have gone for the one who delivered much of the fight to keep Notts within a slight glimmer of salvaging a draw, which is David McGoldrick.
-
Matt Palmer all the way. I think he's getting his stride back in the team. Not that he hasn't been good, but now he's more like he was before his injury. He seems to have a drive that helps us play more calmly.

The poll has now closed.
Thank you all who voted & we have a popular winner tonight. The Pride of Nottingham's Man of the Match for his outstanding performance against Walsall is Club Captain, Matty Palmer.

17 hours ago, Robbie said:By the way @saddlesore, are you a season ticket holder at Walsall & do you travel to away matches too?
It's nice to see another Club's supporter on PON.
It's says on your account your a newbie. I wouldn't call you a newbie seeing you've been on here 9 years.
Lots of water under the bridge since then.
I think you need an up to date badge.
Yes, season ticket holder and attend most away games. Been to County many times since the 80s.
I think the Newbie badge is related to my number of posts. Only usually around when we play each other!
-
Even so it's good to have you visit & express an opinion from time to time
I do think that your team is one of the favourites for an automatic spot, although you just never know, which team below is going to hit some good form.
We are just hoping that once we get these injured players back, we'll start winning some games & put some pressure on yourselves & Port Vale.
Doncaster had a good win last night so we can't count them out either. Then there's MK Dons starting to play well too.
It's going to be a very competitive league this season.
-
November and December are always tough, even without injuries. Fair play to Walsall for grabbing the win and making the most of their chances. I think there are points to be made about how Notts were slow to defend, but I accept this. I just hope we bounce back because I don't like when fans call for the manager's head during a promotion chase. We should be more unified, in my opinion.

Well done to George Abbott. I think he was brilliant during November, and it would be great to see him continue his fine form in December and into January. No doubt he is a big player for us, and having him for the full season is massive.

Congratulations to him. George Abbott has put together some excellent performances during November.

Who else? He deserves it. Exceptional month, and we need to see him continue the form in December.

yes, it was going to be tough but it would be a great experience for them and something that should help them learn. no shame in the result at all.
-
Agreed, there's no shame, and it was nice to see photos on my personal Facebook account of fans in attendance. Unfortunately, I wasn't there but will make sure to give my support to the youth team in the future. Fulham's calibre was always going to be difficult to play against, but very proud of our lads for being drawn against them.
-
Hard luck to the youth team. A 0-4 defeat might feel disappointing for them, but no doubt they will have earned praise from many fans who have been watching them regularly. Some of them might be the future of the club, so that will be their focus now. They should know we are proud of them for just drawing an academy like Fulham's.

Time for a midweek round and our first in December, a month in which it begins to become acceptable to put Christmas trees up (although not yet). All of these games are from Leagues One and Two (no, we will not be including the National League Cup) and kick off at 7.45pm. And don't forget your joker!

how many games do you think you will make this upcoming season? i know it might be hard with postponements to guess, but roughly it would be good to know what other members of pon might be able to make.
all the home league games i should be able to make.
i am hoping to complete my second season of all the away games too, but some might be difficult with work.
if i cant make them all i at least hope to be around 40 games.

Probably works out at around 16-18 home games as midweek Tuesday is awkward and will always miss a couple of because I’m away. Hopefully make a couple of away games, long gone are the days of going home and away every season.
-
i have not missed an away game or home match so far, so i am happy with that but the way notts are selling multiple games it makes it harder. i am lucky enough to be able to afford it, but it means scrambling to get the tickets.

I've attended most league games home and away , missed Crewe away and the FA Cup games... Burton away the only BSM I attended too
Looking forward to Fleetwood away... that will complete the current 92 clubs, all with #Notts

I have no plans to abandon Twitter, at all.
As the very first Notts fan and fan account to join Threads, I take great pride in this milestone. I realise that social media isn't going anywhere, but with fans making home to networks such as Blue Sky - I believe it warrants a PON account. This has been encouraged by @ARLukomski, which at first I wasn't all that taken to doing but in hindsight it does seem to be as equal to Threads.
You can follow Pride of Nottingham on Blue Sky here.
I openly acknowledge that the site, and social media channels have been quiet, but this is for personal reasons. I greatly appreciate your understanding. My aim is to ensure Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Threads and Blue Sky are all different in some form.
Which I would also like to mention, that within the new year I plan to open a discord server that will be more for updating the community here on site related downtime, maintenance, articles, news etc.
Due to the hacking incident, and even before that I am anxious about sharing sensitive information outright on social media channels.

In all seriousness though, you need to be where the people are and as a non-political site I think it's sensible to maintain a presence on X for the time being, alongside Bluesky which seems to be growing fast. Time will tell whether that one turns out to be the new Twitter or a flash in the pan like Threads is threatening to be. Personally I stayed away from Twitter and I won't be using the new platforms either.

@menzinho I have the bad habit of scrolling through Facebook's 'reels', and a behind the scenes look at Day of the Jackal showed. It looked interesting, as at first I thought it was going to be some Johnny Knoxville type prank but turned out to show glimpses of how the main character changed his identity.

Yesterday, I watched Brian and Charles (2022) on Channel 4's on-demand app.
It's different, somewhat strange but very well produced. There's some very funny moments; it's like a mock documentary about Brian who has a quirk for inventing things.

Van Nistelrooy named Leicester City manager
Leicester confirm appointment of Ruud van Nistelrooy as manager | Leicester City | The Guardian

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been confirmed as the manager of Leicester on a contract to 2027 but will take charge of Saturday’s game at Brentford- Show previous comments 9 more
-
Interesting move for Leicester City, but as a Notts fan, I’ve seen enough managerial turnover to know stability is key. I am not exactly sure how this appointment will turn out, I half expect it to end in tears, but he could do well. They need someone who they will stand by, so hopefully it won't end in disaster for them.
-
i am not sure i see the sense in it either, but i wish leicester city all the best. i would feel hugely disappointed if this was notts, but it does seem like an appointment someone like ah would have made. i am not sure its a good thing for them.
-
I really don't understand the sense of the appointment, it's not like he's earned a reputation as being a good manager in any other league, and it seems to be a very reckless appointment. If they wanted to give someone inexperienced the chance to shine, they should have tried to get Frank Lampard before he went to Coventry. It might have given them some chance to poach some good youngsters from Chelsea, instead of the other way around. Had they gone for Lampard, I would have laughed.
Good luck to them against West Ham tonight, they'll be hoping the hammer doesn't fall on van Noodlehead.

With Jodi Jones injured (albeit coming back in just over a month) and Nick and Kellan being the only available options out wide, with Sam Austin filling in on a few occasions and Josh Martin looking like he will be on his way in January. It is obvious that Notts need creativity and pace from out wide. Notts missed out on a wide player on deadline day in August as well. With this I have compiled a list of players for us to potentially look at in January.
Zero assists may look bad on the stats but Ellis Taylor has been vital for Harrogate this season in creating chances and has a decent expected assists (Xa). He had an excellent game against Doncaster. Jack Holmes has had most of his minutes from the bench and even then they have been within the final 20 minutes of games. Jacob Mendy and Anthony Forde haven't had the minutes at Wrexham and the former especially, could be a great signing. Dylan Duffy played a l lot of games for Lincoln last season but hasn't had that chance this season, with off the pitch issues taking effect. Matt Ward has started well at Woking after being released by Ipswich in the summer. Stanley Mills had a good loan spell with Oxford last season, before it was cut short due to injury. Harvey Vale had a move abroad that broke down this summer, but he had a good loan spell at Bristol Rovers. He is very versatile and has good technical ability.
Brandon Kavanagh is the best winger in the League of Ireland and had a wonderful season this year, with him being heavily involved in St Pats' resurgence to 3rd under Stephen Kenny. Ronan Boyce and Ben Doherty are two of the best full-backs in Ireland and offer their fair share going forward, with Doherty being perfect for the wing-back role with his attacking and defensive balance. Ed McCarthy was a standout or Galway in their first season back in the Premier Division and Warren Davis has shown promise for Drogs. Shea Kearney is one of the hot prospects in Northern Ireland and can play further forward in a natural winger role or a little deeper. He can also cover in centre mid.
All stats are taken from Fotmob. Some stats are over different periods. Some stats are not available via Fotmob which includes Shea Kearney and Matt Ward. Their stats can be found via Sofascore here.

Will you be posting about potential strikers or other positions we might strengthen @ARLukomski?
Notts should focus on players who are versatile enough to cover multiple positions. For instance, a winger who can also slot in as a wing-back would give us more flexibility, especially during those inevitable injury crises. The January window’s tricky because good deals can be rare, but the recruitment team has been spot on lately.
Hopefully, they’ve already identified targets who fit into our style of play and can hit the ground running. It’d also be smart to look for younger players with potential resale value.
-
.thumb.png.406264815212197edd42860b838b27a0.png)
@NottsTastic @JIMBO The toughest targets to get will depend on the fee needed to get certain players. I imagine after his stellar season in Ireland and St Pats' resurgence under Stephen Kenny, it'll take a decent fee to prize away Brandon Kavanagh. Harvey Vale has been Chelsea U21 captain and so I imagine that'll be difficult, especially as he had a good loan spell in League 1 last season.
On the flip side, Ellis Taylor is possible because Harrogate could do with a bit of money and Taylor is good enough to step up to a top end League 2 side. Jack Holmes would most likely be available for loan, as will Dylan Duffy. Jacob Mendy and Anthony Forde haven't had the game time they would have probably wanted and I imagine they could be tempted away. I would like us to spend a bit of money in January and look at young talent available and not try and go down the player resurrection route. For every Jodi Jones, there's a Charlie Colkett.
