Tonight's team. Not far off with my team selection

Update.

Bit of a publicity stunt if you ask me. Wouldn't it compromise health and safety on the football field?

Do PON members like it when match times are changed for the TV Cameras?

Your Tuesday Evening Weather

Good evening. It's been an overcast day here & it was a little cold this morning. Bought a new Xmas tree this morning. We do have a big tree we've had for over ten years that's seven foot tall & it takes lots of baubles & lights to fill it. We are both not in the best of health, so we thought it better to get a smaller tree, that also has lights on it, & we won't need to use all the baubles this year. We always dress the tree around thanksgiving. That's a special day in the US at the end of November, so our Xmas tree is usually up around 6 weeks or so. Checked it out when I got home and it looks good & the lights work. During early afternoon, went in the garden and removed all the dead & dying flowers & trimmed down our apple trees somewhat. So all in all two good jobs completed today.

I think that the first experience of a great comeback for me was when Everton played Sheffield Wednesday at the old Wembley in 1966. Sheffield Wednesday took a 2:0 lead and hour into the game, but Everton came back and won 3:2 in normal time.

I think that Notts need to play their squad players tonight, & some Academy players. My team would be Slocombe. Ness, McDonald, Cundy Martin, Hinchy, Abbott Tsaroulla Reynolds, Cisse, Brown. Substitutes, Bass, Sanderson, Crowley, Robertson, McGoldrick, Muir, Bedeau More experience on the bench if needed. Didzy may need a few minutes as well as Robertson and Crowley.

Matchday.

You don't necessarily have to have the biggest playing budgets to build a team that can challenge for promotion. A good coach that can recruit the right players then coach them to play as a team is just as valuable as buying the best players who might not fit into the Club's playing system.

Your Tuesday Morning Weather

@Wheelbarrow repair man How could that appointment possibly be better than the manager they have dismissed ? The trouble nowadays is that owners go for high profile (in their opinion) managers, & most of these appointments don't succeed.

I don't think you can go wrong donating to the Salvation Army. They do lots of fine work..

Congratulations @Wheelbarrow repair man for becoming a Grand Master on the Pride of Nottingham Community.

@Wheelbarrow repair man the chosen one might not be the chosen one or the favourite one with owners anymore. Jose has always been outspoken at times. Not sure if owners will want to take a chance on him, but as we all Know Cloughie was outspoken at times too & it didn't stop him getting a job. Jose is undoubtedly a very good Manager so I'm sure he will still be in demand if he wants to come back to England.

I agree @ScottyP Platt has really made an impact since the beginning of the season along with his defensive colleagues including goalkeeper Bass. I think the Notts defence has made a big difference this season.

I was wrong with what I said in hindsight. Luke was a good Manager but he couldn't solve our defensive frailties. It was down to his successor to eventually solve the problems in defence.

More from BBC Sport.

To be honest I don't think the football authorities listen to the fans enough. I think it is more about what the powers that be want rather than what the fans want. Take the shenanigans over the super league. Yes, it is true that the fans were against a super league being set up. But I don't think that was the deciding factor, for those elite teams to row back from doing it. I don't think they were too keen on it themselves. I think it was more to do with those elite clubs wanting more power and influence over football, & I think they certainly got that. The FA, for instance, were keen not to rock the boat so much. Look how they caved to those clubs by abolishing FA Cup replays to the detriment of small clubs. The only way Supporters may get more influence & get their word across, is if they can get a place on the board of each professional club in the land, & a place on the FA, PL, & EFL. Even then, will they listen?

Well members of PON it's been a lovely morning here with unbroken sunshine after days and days of murky weather. Been quite busy today, took the food order from the wife & did the shopping this morning. Sometimes it's nice to go around the supermarket rather than getting the food delivered. After an early lunch the wife wanted the windows cleaning, so out with the step ladder, bucket & leather. I must say we both did a great job too. Tomorrow I plan to get out into the garden & prune away the last remaining flowers left standing. No rain forecast for tomorrow so hopefully I can get the planned work done.

There will always be those fans that won't be satisfied with the team no matter if they are top of the league or unbeaten. Take just now, Notts are third in the league, unbeaten away this season with just two narrow defeats at home. Another added factor that makes Notts current position a great achievement is that it has been done with so many injuries to key players. But if you look on social media you'd think the team were third from bottom & playing terrible. Unfortunately no matter what the team does it will never satisfy some. It actually says more about those complaining than it does the team. Some people just look at a glass half empty rather than a glass half full.
