Friendly match for the B Team tomorrow.

The perfect job for Mr Warnock. But could they afford him?

Personally I think this is a result of a very poor decision by the FA to abolish replays from the FA Cup 1st Round onwards.They didn't abolish replays in the qualifying rounds. When teams in the lower leagues are struggling for revenue non league teams & even lower league teams could earn hundreds of thousands of pounds from TV revenue for a replay against a top side. The first two rounds of the FA Cup don't even involve Premier League Cubs so why stop replays for the first two rounds? It is a very poor show by the powers that be, who have decided that PL sides participation in Europe comes first over the most famous football tournament in the World.

It's a winnerable game if we play our strongest side. It should be a good attendance with a few thousand Notts fans going to the match. I think Notts have a good chance to get through to the 3rd Round.

Update. Sporting score their 4th & 5th goals. Notts 0 Sorting Khalsa 5

I'm sceptical of having an independent regulator. I'm afraid there is no such thing as an independent anything nowadays. People have opinions, so they are going to be for or against a particular thing. Even an independent regulator will favour the bigger clubs rather than the smaller ones, because at the end of the day money talks, & if you have the money it makes a club very powerful. As for the PL. There should be a salary & transfer cap. Each club should only be allowed two of the most expensive players, & their needs to be at least 6 home players on the field of play at any one time to help home players develop. This may reduce the standard in the PL but I think it needs to be done.

A third for Sporting.

Back to it.

Work to do in the 2nd half.

The visitors double their lead.

First goal to the visitors.

The match has kicked off

This is how the Notts team line up today CMON U PIES!!!

I've extended the poll to 6 pm on Monday 4th November to allow all members to vote.

For me there have been four players that have stood out for Notts, Matty Platt, Dan Crowley, Alassana Jatta. & Jacob Bedeau Four other players warrant a mention, Alex Bass, Nick Tsaroulla, David McGoldrick & George Abbott My player of the season so far is Matty Platt not just for his consistent performances in defence, because he & his fellow defence men, have contributed to a vast improvement in the Notts defence since last season.
