i am looking forward to making the trip to morecambe tomorrow, i just have a few more hours at work and i can then sort everything ahead of the day. work is slowing down, but soon we will be hit with the demand leading up to christmas which is the busiest period. i am enjoying the slowness for once.

Middlesbrough 2-1 Stoke City joker Millwall 0-3 Preston North End Blackpool 1-0 Burton Albion Wigan Athletic 1-1 Exeter City Gillingham 1-0 Barrow Newport County 2-2 Crewe Alexandra Woking 1-0 Sutton United Yeovil Town 0-0 Aldershot

it sounds like morecambe are having ownership problems which could be the worst outcome for them with the way the seasons progressing, i wish them well. we have been here before, where owners have no idea and literally split the fan base in half. leading to the club falling to the wrong end of league two. its a shame to see this happening to morecambe.

i did not go, but i listened and have read comments. along with watching the highlights. kellan gordon gets my vote, i think with jodi being out he should be able to step up. he seems to have a great cross on him.

i am very pleased for him, it looks like a milestone that will hopefully see the club push our youngsters to be more involved. the only way they will improve is by playing, if they play and dont reach the level we need, fair enough but giving kameron muir this surely means he has a bright future for us?

i think the efl trophy is a great time to include young players, it gives us fans something to actually be encouraged by because i dont find the competition has ever really been taken seriously. i think notts does, but from the fans perspective it could be a lot better. i am please kameron muir got to come on and has become our youngest player, as i say, it gives you something to be invested with.

it wouldn't surprise me if we did call the game off, so that could focus on the weekend but that is not very notts like. i dont think the result matters, but the performance does because that can cause poor performances in the league. i think we have to play at least 5 regulars, give aidan stone the chance ahead of sam slocombe. i dont think it will happen tho, but i would because stone is better with the ball at his feet.

i dont think we need to dwell on the missed chances, but mark stallard is right and goals change games. just like poor officials which was the real talking point. i was hoping that would be pointed out when i came home after the game listening to the radio but it seems only bbc radio nottingham discuss controversial moments when its forest. its a bit disappointing, but mark stallard is right with his comments. i know he spoke about it during the game, but it was absent at the end.

this is why some teams just need to hoof the ball, they play themselves into danger and look stupid for making rushed decisions. its a very poor pass that led to the own goal.

@Robbie we had a thing for signing players related to famous players, in some form or another. he was very poor from my memory. only good relation i can remember is thomas ince. he looked great and i wished we could have signed him whilst his dad was the manager. paul was a rubbish manager tho. jack barmby was good, his dad was a very good player. it did not pass down.

raddy looked like he knew he had made the mistake but had forgotten where his position was, the everton keeper was well beyond the area and knew exactly what he was doing.

so ceefax was the bbc, but teletext was a similar thing but non bbc and commercial? looking into the difference i found the reason why its called ceefax - see facts. ???? quite obvious once you know.

welcome to the pride of nottingham @Shannon Daly.

i did not pay attention to the gate either, i was too invested in hoping we could score and get a point. though the stands did look busier than 11,000.

i have no issue with harry kane and if he is selected to play, when hes not doing well then its a managers problem. england fans like to pick at players, support is not easy to give by some but the moment success is had, then they love it and try to shower themselves in the glory. its silly. we should encourage and support our players, no matter what.

i think we might only learn about jodi jones after tomorrows efl trophy game. it could be after the game in the post match comments. it would be a big talking point, i just hope jodi is okay.

when you go into a pub and the barman or whoever asks if you want to order a drink. even though the food till is at a different end of the bar, or even if its not. what can i get you is much more appropriate.

it looks like the team has improved a lot since last season and have started very well, the limit in promotion from the league seems to limit things but its positive signs. i am pleased the pies picked up another win!

its a good signing for boreham wood, issue for me is not his ability or how he performs but he just has not settled. the aberdeen move seemed like a dream move, but i think it happened to early for him. he would have done better to sign for a league two team, get minutes and more experience and stay settled for a few seasons before making the step up. he never seems to settle, so how does consistency come? stockport did not really make use of him, same at colchester. this is his chance to do that.

these are great pictures! the nest looks busy!! pleased to see @Turkey_Twizzler and @ARLukomski. well done, @Chris.

i dont think the defeat dampens the mood, but we do need to accept results like this and just work on winning what we can. i think most wont get carried away, but some always will. this defeat for some will be the end of the world, but its not. notts played well and controlled the game. it was a single goal that made the difference, but a draw would have been fairer, there is nothing we can do now.

if we can, should we recall junior morias? stuart maynard has highlighted the lack of cover we have, jevani brown did okay in spells but someone with real energy and quickness might help us. if jodi jones is out, then we can push brown into the team and have morias on the bench or starting. i think maynard said everthing we fault and came across well. i am glad most fans are not blaming him.

notts played well enough to get something out of the game and created chances which should have at least got us a point, i dont blame the missed chances because the decision to rule out sam austins goal seemed poor. it was day light robbery, he was clearly on side. when we appealed for theirs to be offside, the referee gave marching orders to our players and even gave verbal talkings to some. when they appealed, much after it seemed a restart would be happening. the decision quickly became offside, why were they allowed to speak to the linesman? i did think notts dominated for the most part and played the better football. they might have done well on the counter but without the offside goal of theirs, they would have drawn. defensively they were not brilliant, just good.

hyping himself in an interview, he should have stayed and worked under alan hardy. they would have worked well together.

managers used to disappear once they were of a certain age and it paved its way for new ones to come up. just like players, there are obvious signs when a player should retire. i think its the same for most managers, i mean for every neil warnock who can help stabilise a team, there no hopers who are just used as @Chris mentioned for their reputation and contacts. i think 65 is the point where clubs should seriously think is this person good enough. if they are, great but if not, just retire.
