Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Chairboys (A)
Totally agree and see your points. To be honest playing Hewitt in CM is just frustrating me at the moment which is why i put Yates in there but would be happy to see Walker or Milsom in there. Hewitt just is not CM material, in my opinion does not have the attributes to be a play maker or box to box midfielder.

Match Discussion: Game 3 - The Chairboys (A)
Tough one to call this. Akinfenwa had a cracking game last week and given his strength we should play Ameobi to counter this 100%. Defending corners etc. I think the following should be the lineup. 4-4-2 Collin / Tootle - Brisely - Duffy - Jones / Hawkridge - Grant - Yates - Alessandra / Ameobi - Forte I think this would give us every opportunity to compete in this fixture and i would bench Stead to give him a rest as i think he picked up a knock against Chesterfield. If Grant starts along with Hawkridge and Alessandra, attacking i dont see why we cant get a couple of goals here so ill go for a 2-1 Notts County win. Would love a clean sheet but Akinfenwa is in good form and can see him scoring.

Kevin Nolan pleased with "really good" performance from Notts County against Everton
Looking at the stats of this game we deserved the win. Although people might see this as a joke of a competition but I am really happy we won this game and got some vital points on the board in the small group stage.

Kevin Nolan not ruling out further signings for Notts County this summer
@Chris Sorry my bad. To be quite honest i would like to just stick with the team we have now and recruit in January if necessary. Mr Hardy is all about cost and reducing the wage bill so don't add to something that it fine already. Other than a clinical finisher i cant see any areas to strengthen. We wont sign a striker though because we have three already and have just renewed 2 of their contracts

Kevin Nolan not ruling out further signings for Notts County this summer
@Chris I have noticed over twitter and other sources recently that Forest are doubting whether to keep some of their players or loan them out. By this article above i conclude from it that we are not going looking for signings but rather they come to us as in loanees. Tyler Walker from Forest is such a promising left/right back that has so many attributes our team could benefit from. Mark Warburton is undecided on his future but i think we wont need or get any more players apart from promising loanees. Bloody hell if Grant can't make the first team then other signings have got no hope

Jorge Grant delighted with "collector's item" header and audacious free kick
What a guy! I cannot comprehend why he has not started the first 2 league games. Unless it's related to an attitude problem which could have a factor in it but the reality is he is the best player in that squad and is a real playmaker. Should be starting every game now, he has proved himself (not like he needed to) now get him in the starting lineup week in, week out.

Match Discussion: EFL - The Blues (H)
Id love to see Calvert-Lewin play in this match but i think that is out the question. However I think Nolan should play Stead and Forte together, i think Stead at the moment is lacking confidence and looks shadowed by other players at the moment. So hopefully Stead can get his name on the score sheet. I want us too take this seriosuly though as even though its seen as a 'petty' cup, I think any silverware this season would be a massive result and i think we have a good enough team to challenge for certain competitions including the league of course.

Match Report: Jorge Grant brace helps Notts County to solid win over Chesterfield
Despite having a few issues with iFollow today i managed to watch the second half and was pleased with what i saw. I am still really confused on the decision to bench Grant and Walker and play Hewitt as a CM over those two, just do not understand it. If Grant does not start next game ill have to put it down as a attitude problem and Nolan wants to show him who is boss and who runs the team. Pleased with the result and performance though COYP.

Match Discussion: Game 2 - The Spireites (H)
@liampie I think that could really work especially Milsom as a LWB and maybe develop either Hewitt or Tootle to play RWB. But to be honest i think that idea could really work.

Match Discussion: Game 2 - The Spireites (H)
Both opening days were poor however i would like to think Nolan has adapted his thought processes on how to approach this game. Call me crazy but i think we have got some real attacking threats and have the potential to score a truck load. Id love to see us play like a 3-4-3 or a 3-5-2 as i believe Duffy, Hollis and Brisely could really gel as 3 CB's. For me ill go a 2-0 win. I think it'll be close but home record is important to Nolan as he stressed towards the end of last season.

Notts County eye Lewis Alessandra has their second signing of the summer
Wow! What a signing this would be. I would be so happy with this appointment. Fantastic replacement for Adam Campbell! Lets hope this comes through. Hardy is definitely going for the quality over quantity.

Alan Hardy wants closer links between Notts County and Nottingham Forest
I agree with everything said here. If there is any club Forest should be helping it out it is us. Promoting their young talent in the lower leagues could spark a transfer for them in the future so it's a win, win situation for both clubs. We get the goals and the memories (hopefully) and they get the money at the end of the loan/transfer spell. Would be happy to see any young talent from Forest at Meadow Lane.

Good to see that investments are being made elsewhere at Meadow Lane Sounds petty but having a good playing surface next season will be something we can be proud of.
