Beware of missing drain covers
I agree, I think it’s probably mainly scrap dealers there are also a lot of doors missing off those green telephone/cable boxes around our way exposing all the wires etc. We had a metal bed that we were giving to charity (British Heart Foundation) I put it out on the day it was going to be collected and a scrap man came and was going to cart it away despite the fact that it was just outside our front door! He had to open the gate and come down the drive, I swear blind he’d have taken it if we hadn’t seen him. I know folk leave stuff on the road for them but they shouldn’t enter your property.

Mark Stallard on Notts County: ‘Cutting Out Individual Errors is Point Number One’
Mark Stallard talks a lot of sense, I agree to his emphatic “no” when asked should we change the style of play, he’s exactly right because as he says this style of play has brought success, the team just need to work on the defensive side of things on the training ground and I’m positive that Luke Williams will be aware of this and working hard with his team to put it right. There’s absolutely no need to panic.

MAGnet Links - Swindon Town
Notts take on Swindon on Tuesday night. How many links can we find between the two clubs. I’ll start you off with probably the most obvious one Luke Williams. Who else can we find?

Notts v Mansfield tickets
@Chris I’m not keen on going to matches with large crowds either but I guess the fact that we are getting large crowds is good for the club so we shouldn’t complain. An executive box is an expensive way to watch a match and the atmosphere isn’t the same. I did sit near the vice presidents seats (I think that’s what they’re called) and I must admit I envied then their spacious padded seats with an excellent view as I was squashed between two very large gentlemen but the cost of buying one of those for a season is way more than I’d want to spend.

Match Discussion: Game 11 - The Robins (H)
This will be another tough test and obviously we need a reaction, they won’t have had much time to sort out the defensive problems from Saturday and no doubt Swindon will be well aware of how they can best test our fragile defence. It should make for an interesting match.

Highlights : Colchester v Notts
Some good goals, Jodie’s was the pick of the bunch but defensively we had a nightmare game.

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The U's (A)
It sounded like a great match for a neutral but Luke Williams will be fuming that we’ve conceded 5 goals. Unbelievable that we’ve scored 4 goals away and lost.

'It’s Important to Be Confident': Sam Austin’s Take on Notts County’s League Two Challenges
It must be hard for Sam not being a first choice for some games but he works hard and when he gets his chance he doesn’t disappoint, he’d benefit from a run in the team as a starter but with so many good players in the squad it’s difficult.

Weekend Plans - Friday 29th Sept - Sunday 1st Oct
It’s the weekend again, I’m sure it’s eagerly awaited for all you workers or students, I know I always looked forward to it when I worked. What plans have you all got? Some will no doubt be travelling to see the Super Notts so safe travels and bring back the points. Tonight being Friday I will be enjoying Mrs. T’s famous curry, this time it’s Lamb and Spinach and I’ll wash it down with my first pint of the week. Tonight we are watching a film on Prime called The Lost Flowers of Alex Hart, which has been recommended to us. Tomorrow it’s Park Run day, then we are visiting a kitchen shop to finalise the plans for our revamped kitchen, in the afternoon I’ll be glued to Radio Nottingham. Whats everyone else up to?

Ed Davey’s a Pie?
Yes but some are more of a shambles than others, I think it’s a shame when people say they aren’t interested in politics, these people have the power to change our lives and we have the chance to give them that power at election time.

'Long Way to Go’: Notts County’s Luke Williams Keeps His Eyes on the Prize
As usual Luke Williams is very measured in what he says endeavouring to keep expectations in check and he is right to do so these are very early days the team needs to stay focussed on the job. Excellent interview.

Very good @super_ram I see what you did there.

Match Discussion: Game 10 - The U's (A)
Barring injuries I don’t see Williams changing much either, hopefully we can come away with maximum points again but if we get a draw I won’t be too disappointed, the trouble is Notts have set a very high bar and we expect them to win every match hopefully we can maintain our momentum.

Your Notts County most memorable match
Mine is Notts County 3 Spurs 0. It was a League Cup third round tie in October 1994. Notts faced the mighty Spurs managed by World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles at Meadow Lane, with the likes of Juergen Klinsmann, Sol Campbell and Teddy Sheringham in their team Notts were given little chance. However with goals from Gary McSwegan (2) and Tony Agana Notts marched on to the fourth round and next morning Ossie Ardiles was sacked. I remember the second goal after McSwegan scored the players did a celebratory “Klinsmann dive” rubbing salt in the wound. Spurs had a man sent off but Notts were already 2-0 up by then. The teams on that night were as follows: Notts: Reece; Mills, Yates, Johnson (Murphy, 65), R Walker; Turner; Devlin, Butler, Legg; Agana, McSwegan (Matthews, 80). Substitutes not used: Cherry (gk). Tottenham: Thorstvedt; Austin, Campbell, Calderwood (Hazard, 45), Edinburgh; Popescu; Barmby, Dozzell, Dumitrescu; Sheringham, Klinsmann. Whats your most memorable match?

Time to reflect on what Luke Williams has achieved so far
It doesn’t just look like a master stroke it definitely was one, if he left the club today he would still go down as one of our best ever managers, his win rate is phenomenal. Well done to the brothers for unearthing a real gem.
