Notts played some superb football. Some of the long-distance passing would have been fitting in the Championship. Curtis Edwards looks to have one hell of a pass on him. The number of long upfield passes he made put Grimsby on the back foot. I was more impressed with him than I was with Dan Crowley. Crowley had a great game but grew in confidence after his second goal. Edwards played exceptionally well throughout.
I didn’t expect the performance. I don’t know about anyone else, but I think the idea of Notts putting 4 goals past Grimsby would have been rare. It was a classy performance by Notts. I felt a bit sorry for the travelling Grimsby fans. They tried to spark some banter with their chants, which was nice to hear, but their team let them down. It looked like they didn’t know how to cope against Notts, who played in fifth gear.
It’s sometimes hard to see what happens, but I’ve seen a video Sky Sports released that clearly shows the ball bouncing off both of Dan Crowley’s hands. As for the offside, I’m not sure there was any interference. They change the rules so much it’s hard to be certain. It did look like offside, but I think even if the goals were disallowed, Notts would have gone on to win anyway. It was a brilliant performance, and I understand Grimsby fans’ complaints, but the decision is final now. They’ll get a similar favour at some point, which they might not mind then.

What a transformation the brothers have made to our club since taking over the ownership of Notts County on this day five years ago.
So much positivity around the club & with Notts now on a firm financial footing, not forgetting the memories made that will never be forgotten, & further great memories to come too.

With football it's often easy to lose your sense of perspective. Our former DoF Sven-Göran Eriksson only has months left to live because of cancer, and at the weekend he got to realise a lifetime's ambition by leading out Liverpool at Anfield - a wonderful and touching gesture from all concerned. And how nice it is to see him smiling like that too.

At the weekend Gateshead's Captain, Greg Olley was fouled by an opponent early in the match and sustained a broken leg.
Thankfully medical teams were quick to intervene and Greg was given lengthy treatment on the pitch before being transported to hospital for treatment.
Unfortunately, Greg will be out of action for the rest of the season & will need lengthy rehabilitation before returning sometime next season.
The offending player received a straight Red card for dangerous foul play and will be probably suspended for 3 games.
In my opinion if a player is seriously injured & that injury could be career defining due to serious foul play, the punishment for the offender that was sent off should be harsh.
Not sure how long the suspension in these cases should be, but surely it should be at least a 10 to 15 game suspension.
Incidentally, we saw the treatment that Jodi was getting on Sunday. Referees need to be protecting players much more from constant abuse too.
Thoughts?

A Couple of weeks ago now, Notts put out a warning about Clamping down on People who used their Copyrighted Brand illegally, (and quite right to) People making money from Fake Items featuring the official Club Brand is taking money from the Club Coffers.
However it would seem Sheffield Wednesday have decide to clamp down on Fake Shirts and have come out with the Following statement. That Fans who wear Fake Wednesday Shirts may be asked to Leave their Stadium. The thing is how do they know what Shirts are Fake? And how would they Police such an operation? I can't understand how the Club will know if a Fan is wearing a Fake Shirt, or Not. Will there be someone at each turnstile standing there asking to look at each Fans Shirt to check it's Genuine and Not Fake, how long would that take? Unless it's Glaringly Obvious there is a Massive difference between the Real and Fake Article, surely they wont be able to tell the difference. Plus all a Fan wearing a Fake shirt has to do is hide their fake shirt under a jumper coat or Jacket. I mean Stewards at the match Aren't going to be able to ask a Fan to remove their clothing, imagine what an uproar that would cause, especially if they asked children.
I think this move is just Wednesday trying to scare Fans into Not Buying the Fake shirts and only buying the real Club merchandise from their Official Club Superstore. The only way they are going to stop Fake shirts being sold to Fans is stopping the production at source, and I imagine a Great deal of these Shirts will probably be made in China, so that ain't gonna happen.

8 hours ago, Piethagoram said:Just to say, it was Scott who lost his man when marking for Fleetwood's first goal
what was jatta doing?
the first goal was very well worked, i dont really make faults for that kind of goal. yet i think its jatta who could have got a header. for me if a player is front of the ball, then there is no reason not to react to defending a situation. cedwyn scott did get beat, but thats what happens and wrestling with a player in a penalty box when you have been out moved like that would be silly. for me, i think both could have done better, but its harsh to single out just scott when jatta with his size could have easily made it his ball.
fleetwood were very good, a good team that worked well with each other and focused on getting chances. they were happy to sit back, which is a shame notts did not make the most of the first half. i hope we play with a more cutting edge against grimsby.
Fleetwood Town did very well; they took their chances and were happy to wait for those chances to strike. I can’t help but feel Notts needs to be a bit like this in the games when it’s harder for them. The second half was a great display by Notts. It did feel like we left it a bit late to get back into it, and without the penalty, Fleetwood would have gone home very happy with their performance. It’s early days, but sometimes I just wish Notts would take a gamble when shooting and not rely on walking it in or crossing.
I thought Jodi and Crowley were a class apart again today. It was great to see Matty Palmer come on as a sub after his injury woes, and I thought he really made a difference. Also, it was great to see Tsaroulla come on as a sub - he looks a class act and gave us more threat down the left. I felt sorry for Scott, he is not a left winger and it showed.
Our defensive frailties are not due to personnel but formation. A 4-2-3-1 would solidify our defence whilst allowing Jodi the licence to utilise his attacking nature. This has been needed even when LW was here, although our free scoring often masked the issue. Possession is irrelevant, as we have shown in every game since SM took over. We have a playoff squad with a relegation manager.
Good performance and character though. Good squad now and Matty Palmer is back.
The EFL Central League gets under way today with the Notts B team playing Bolton Wanderers B team.
14:00 kick off at the Bolton Wanderers Training Ground.

Good morning it’s the start of another week, it’s been raining here that wasn’t in the forecast, blooming weather men.
This morning I’ve got the opticians it’s a routine check up, my mother had glaucoma which can be hereditary so I like to keep my eyes checked.
We’ve also got a chap coming to look at the burglar alarm which keeps going off in the middle of the night saying a window is open, when we check all the windows they’re all shut so hopefully he can sort that out for us.
Have a great day whatever you are doing.

Standing ovation for Matt Palmer has he made his return as a substitute. And didn't he make a difference.

Well. Notts have fought back from 0:2 down to get a creditable draw.
Notts created several chances in addition to scoring two goals.
So who would you name as your man of the match & why?
For me, there are three players that stand out, Crowley, Jones & Macari.
All three have a claim to man of the match, but I will give it to the man who was influential in the 2nd half & kept super cool to score a pressure penalty for Notts in injury time.
My man of the match goes to Jodi.
