Match Discussion: Game 10 - The Valiants (H)
port vale seem to be in decent form, undefeated in their last 5, with 3 wins and 2 draws. currently 7th in the league but i dont know much about them as a team since we have spent so long in the national league.

In terms of the footballing wealth of the country, where does "The North" actually start?
london is an expensive city, the prices in football will reflect that. it is surprising how they still manage to find fans who can afford to pay for season tickets despite the costs involved in living. it always surpises me how clubs like newcastle who have money now, previously struggled to sign good players. outside of the signings like michael owen and alan shearer. i guess where wealthy millionaires and billionaires live with always attract owners who can pay the club.

Should there be more protection for players?
challenges from behind should not be allowed, its incredibly dangerous but i am not sure what could be done exactly. i thin any fan who does not realise the dangers with rash tackles wont appreciate it until they experience losing one of their own players. it could have been avoided, had the gillingham player not lunged for the ball.

Wallaby spotting in Notts?

Match Discussion: Game 9 - The Blues (A)
i am not being picky, because the result was great and i think we defended well. i just wished when we were under pressure we could take some more care as to where we lump the ball or try clear the threat. yesterday, a lot of it came back at us and it makes it difficult to get the ball down to counter. dont get me wrong, we did what we had to do. i am just saying that if we put a little more thought into it at times, we might be able to regain some of the control instead of inviting attacks straight back at us. i do agree that last season this would have ended differently, so it is a huge positive and i thought alex bass was great in goal for us.

Who's Your Notts Man of the Match v Carlisle?
how often does a keeper get an assist from being in his own area? not only brilliant saves to keep a clean sheet, but a superb ball straight to jatta to score. alex bass gets my vote.

Stuart Maynard Hails Notts County Fans as the '12th Man' in 2-0 Victory Over Carlisle United
i dont know what stuart maynard needs to do in order to win those moaners over, but he is doing a fantastic job and the players are clearly responding to him and the coaching. it was a fantastic win last night.

Match Report: Early Goals and Solid Defence See Notts County Defeat Carlisle United 2-0
it was a very good win for us against a team that improved as the game progressed, without those early goals it could have easily finished either way and the clean sheet is a big thing for alex bass. you can see what they mean to him and having a goalkeeper of his class and ambition, its great for us fans.

Match Preview: Notts County Seek Three Points in Crucial Carlisle United Clash
i really hope notts can keep their good form at carlisle a win on the road would be a good boost, no doubt we will need to be at our best with the majority of the squad working hard to create openings. i am a bit more nervous this season about games like this though, as it could go either way and i know that.

Opposition View: Liam Cole on Carlisle United’s Rebuild Under Mike Williamson and Facing Notts County
this is a brilliant opposition view, liam cole has put a lot of effort into these answers and it does make it a very good read. i am looking forward to going carlisle tomorrow, it should be a great game. thank liam for taking the time to answer the question. ????

Welcome to Notts Josh Martin.
he will grow into the team, george abbott needed a full game under him to fully come into the squad and now he looks difficult to be dropped. so, i look forward to seeing more of josh martin. welcome to meadow lane, josh!

Weekly Chat 30th Sept to 6th Oct.
yes, i am taking @TheSkipper and @Joshua. i need to pick lewis up from bostons train station as he will be heading down from manchester. i dont have much to report, work is still very casual and that is enjoyable because there are not many weeks when things are not all hands on. i am looking forward to going to carlisle, i booked the day off from work so that i could leave early. i dont usually book many of my holidays off, as i get extra pay for doing that but any games i cant make i am using the days on them.

September's Player of the Month: Pride of Nottingham
jacob bedeau gets my vote, he has impressed me a lot and i do love those quick balls he plays that releases david mcgoldrick. i think he has been very good during september but its tough.

This Annoys Me About Notts
its all i have ever known, but i do wish more teams would do what luton did. i know its different to the original post, but it saves fans no end of money that could be invested into other areas of the club. personally i think away shirts should be worn away from home, otherwise there is little point in having two shirts.

Notts injury watch.
kellan gordon was allegedly rested due to having played in the efl cup game and said to have been rested for carlisle. if he is injured again, it would be disappointing as he looked good from the minutes he has been given. jatta might return to the bench tomorrow, he has been trying and before the morecambe on the radio it said that he was now training properly, not just on the grass with no heading involvement.

A Strong Rumour.
well the club cant come out and say they dont know, they would want to have all the facts. whatever the media team might say, could only be used in negative peoples blame game. its big news, so they had to handle it well. the issue is those who want to act like they know everything. i am glad that people like chris wait for the facts, because it shows credibility. some of the people who repeated rumours might be innocent, as they may have been given false information but at the same time you just cant say anything. i do think its disrespectful towards jodi too.

Are Pep And Jose That Good?
i think romelu lukaku can be added, but i still think jose is the better manager personally. both are different types of managers tho.

Notts County’s Jodi Jones Declares: ‘I’ll Be Back Stronger’ After Tibia Fracture
i feel sorry for jodi jones, but at least he has the right attitude and his desire to do well should see him come back stronger. i think hes right about the challenge, but referees are not strong enough to protect attacking players. its very annoying, i hope he gets to have some down time with his family during this injury.

Pep Guardiola Has Ruined Football ?
i dont like pep all that much, i think hes overrated but i think he just follows what has been happening for years. i think managers who rely on spending silly sums or only wants to manage the best teams in whatever league just shows a lack of faith in their ability. could pep turn things around at manchester united without spending bid?

Halifax Town v Notts County Women
there is nothing wrong with the result, our team gave a good account and managed to pull themselves back into the game. playing a team higher up and only losing by a single goal, its encouraging. hard luck to our players.
