Your Weather for Monday 1st April

@Wheelbarrow repair man I know. It's not a good situation. We don't know what are written into contracts nowadays, it does seem that players are protected somewhat, however, I would have thought that there has to be a performance element written into players contracts, as it should be for a Head Coach too. All work contracts have a performance element written into them, so players contracts shouldn't be any different surely.

The highest test total without an individual making a hundred. Some record.

@Wheelbarrow repair man The present first team squad all have a point to prove. Some of them will be playing for their professional futures. If that isn't an excuse to play with enthusiasm, I don't know what is.

Head Coach Jonathan Paredes has his say after a vital win for Panthers.

It's a win for the Nottingham Panthers tonight.

Your Easter Sunday Morning Weather

Panthers line up for tonight's game.

@liampie I agree that Ashby-Hammond isn't the long term answer, nor is Slocombe or Stone, but Ashby-Hammond is the better of the three. I'd retain Brooks and sign another goalie for next season. And Macari is the only defence man, of the ones we have, that I want to see in the side next season, unless they can prove me wrong in these last 6 games.

@Wheelbarrow repair man Reading your last paragraph could be the basis of a good topic of discussion for later. How tactics, shape & style in the game has changed over the last 20 years. One thing is quite clear to me, if our goalie punted the ball up field 90% of the time to a tall strong centre forward to either head on or hold the ball up to keep possession, like they did in the past, Notts wouldn't have made all those costly errors in defence. Now it's all about playing the continental way of playing out from the back 100% of the time.
