I wasn’t able to attend the game, but I followed the updates on the official Notts Twitter account. It seemed like an exciting match. I’m sure there are lessons to be learned from this game, which Stuart Maynard can address. However, a draw in a pre-season friendly isn’t a serious concern.
@Robbie, there’s no harm in trying to bring in a young player who can contribute when needed. If his skills are unique, it gives us an extra option, especially with Macca leaving. This would provide someone else in our current squad the opportunity to step up. These friendlies will be crucial for that. If we perform well, the club won’t need to worry about spending money to bring in a striker. The funds could be used elsewhere.
Does anyone have any news on why Alassana Jatta didn’t play? Was he even there? I don’t think he’ll be the next to leave, I’m just curious.
It's amazing how there are people commenting on how we're going to finish mid table or lower this season and that the manager will be gone before christmas based on this pre-season friendly. From what I heard of the game, there were a few good signs especially from the trialists as @ARLukomski has highlighted. But what is key to note about this pre-season game is that, it's not just about performance it's about players get match fit and ready for the season ahead.
On 10/07/2024 at 11:14, Robbie said:We already have four strikers on the books, Jatta, Morias, Didzy and Scott. Do we really need another one?
If the Notts defence does it's job this season that could result in 30 to 40 goals less conceded this season, that's more than enough to compensate for losing Macca.
I think we have the firepower to score 75 to 80+ goals with the team we have.
We should get goals from our midfield again, & more goals from our taller defenders from set pieces.
We have 21 in the squad so another four additions would take Notts up to 25 + the under 21s.
It would be a real risk to start the season with that strike force. We should concede less but given the style of play, it probably won't be as many as people think. To give SM a fighting chance, another striker is required, one who'll score on a regular basis. Otherwise I can see a difficult season ahead and SM under pressure from day one.
We now come to the nitty gritty of Euro 24, the knockout stage.

So it's been decided that the New Notts Fan Zone is being called the Nest. How Boring they must be something better or exciting more in tune with the Magpies. Going on the Old Internet I've come up with A Conventicle, A Gulp, A Mischief A Tidings or Tribe of Magpies. Any of those have to be better than The Nest. My Favourite one is A Tribe of Magpies. A Fan Zone called the Tribe of Magpies gives the impression of Fan togetherness and the Support of the Players and Club. The Nest Give me a Break. So my fellow PON Members what's your Favourite and Why?

The Susie Dent Word of the Day Topic got me thinking about an whole Manner of Words and Stuff and I thought I'd add to them, and a for lot of these words the Americans are to Blame for butchering the English Language . Things can get very confusing.
I mean who writes a best Selling Book and titles it Fanny By Gaslight? What sort of Mental Images does that Conjure Up?
Of course a Fanny to an American is a Backside to a Brit. She's got a Nice Fanny, You think How does he know? They only met a couple of Minutes ago.
Then there's the English Guy who gets his wallet Stolen while in America. He reports it to the Police Hey somebody's Nicked Me Wallet. Somebody has taken a knife and cut notches into your wallet?
Losing your Cherry means something totally different to a Yank. There's an English Lass who buys a big piece of Cake with a Cherry on the Top. Unfortunately as she takes a bite the Cherry Fails off and a Passing Dog eats it up. Oh No says the English Girl. What's a matter? asks her American Friend. I've just lost my Cherry to that Dog. ( for those who don't know, losing one's Cherry to an American means losing one's Virginity)
Mind you the Aussies are Just as Bad. The Best selling Sticky Tape in Australia is a Brand Called Durex. That's right we have Sellotape they have Durex. Can you imagine some unknowing Big Aussie walking into W.H. Smiths and saying G'Day a Roll of Durex there, Giant Size. Talk about Do It Yourself.
Now my Fellow PON Members It's Your Turn what words or sayings do you know that could be taken the wrong way and are also Amusing.?

Notts has been successful in retaining key players for a while now. There was a sense of disappointment when Ruben Rodrigues left on a free transfer to join Oxford. However, this was offset by the permanent signings of Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley. For the most part, the club has recruited players to heighten the anticipation ahead of the new campaign. The departures of Kyle Cameron, potentially Macaulay Langstaff, and to some extent, Tiernan Brooks, do leave one wondering who might be next.
The crucial aspect, in my opinion, is to ensure that the excitement generated by new arrivals outweighs the disappointment of the departures.
Regardless of your feelings about players leaving and potential arrivals, bear in mind that once the season kicks off, everything else becomes a distraction. The primary focus should be on appreciating the players while they’re with the club, whether we win, lose or draw. We are a club with a commitment to progress, and we need to get that right before we can hope to retain players for longer periods.
After giving it some thought, I believe Notts will pinpoint the remaining gaps that need to be filled and will proceed to recruit the quality we require.

Have you ever wondered why you see some players with holes in the backs of their socks? I thought it was the work of moths but here is the reason.
