I was saddened to seeing the players being booed during the game, at half time and at full time against Preston.

OK, I was as frustrated as anyone at the level of performance and had a moan to the person next to me and even come on here and moan about it but to boo the players especially during the game is in my opinion counter productive. They know they are having a bad game and don't choose to go out there and deliberately lose to wind the fans up. So let's give them a break and try and support them through the bad patches, encouragement works far better than booing. If fans really feel the need to boo then I wish they would do it after the final whistle.

With Julian Kelly looking doubtful, Cofie unlikely and Dean Leacock suspended (10 Yellow cards), Notts will face a difficult trip to Crawley with only 3 points separating the two sides. 

I was talking to a chap at the match on Saturday and he said that when Curle and his two assistants were sacked it was purely a money saving exercise as Notts are in financial difficulties. According to him we were never going to appoint another manager and CK was always going to get the job because he was cheap. He also pointed to the transfer of Hughes and the failure to sign a suitable replacement as another example which backed up his theory.

I do hope this isn't true as I couldn't bear another term in administration with all the worries that brings.

Any thoughts?

Game's on now! Hope it's a good one!

Tomorrow,Wed 6/3/13 Notts entertain Leyton Orient who are  just one place and two points lower down the table.It is therefore vitally important for Notts to put in a good show and get another 3 points to keep  above Orient and try to close the gap towards a playoff place.It may be necessary to'grind' out a result but whatever COME ON NOTTS.Meanwhile I'm watching Man U on tv and listening to Rams away at table topping Cardiff.We need some points as we are in danger of being dragged into the relegation battle.

I used to hate him with a passion, now I'm older I actually admire him. I think this is a great video, hopefully one Super Ram will enjoy. Why don't we produce more cloughs? I think he did great with Derby. Love how he speaks about his players! Many of todays managers could learn a thing from him. (including Nigel)

Just wanted to say the 'recently added pics' on the forum homepage is a real nice addition!

Looking forward to seeing many more.  

Is there anything members would like to see on the forum? Just wondering.

did any see what happened or how bad is injury is?

guess he will be going back to united soon, he is useful to have.

With another Notts Alumni on the way, I thought I'd ask this question:

Who's your favourite still active ex-Notts player (by that I mean someone who is still playing professionally or semi-pro)? And if you want to add a little more, why are they your favourite and what is your favourite memory of them at Meadow Lane?

I'd have to say Lee Hughes, because he was just amazing for us and got us so many goals, so much so that it's such a shame to have to call him an ex-player. Favourite memory would have to be him getting the first ever opposition goal at the Juventus Arena to draw us level, literally history in the making, and boy was he happy about it!

Do any of u agree nani should of been sent off i for one think he should of he may of been trying 2 control the ball but when u basicaly kung fu kick a player like that with no concern bout injuring the player i think it should be

Has gone on loan to Torquay.

Own up!

For me its Emmerdale and Corrie.

Don't like EastEnders.

Used to like Crossroads (the original version).

I really like sitting in the Kop, it feels more 'together' then the Pavis does. (not solely down to singing) People are actually speak without looking at you oddly for doing so, I really feel I've found where to sit in the future. If Cheeky and Ava come, obviously it will have to be the Pavis but it's nice how friendly everyone has been including the stewards.

To me it looked packed in both the Kop and Pavis, look far more than 5k. I would of said 6.3 myself at the lowest and the Carlisle fans came in decent numbers too.

Very friendly, a couple spoke to me and one even asked if I was okay as I waited outside the club for my brother to return from buying Jake and Ellie some sweets. (treat for being very good) It's no longer me telling them to hurry up a little but the other way around! How many do you think were at the Lane yesterday?

I would play 4-4-2.

Goal: Bart

Defence: Sheehan, Liddle, Leacock, Kelly

Midfield: Campbell-Ryce, bishop, Boucaud, Judge

Attack: Zoko, Arquin

Subs: Spiess, smith, Bencherif, Hughes, Cofie, Labadie, Showumni

Former Notts County player James 'Jimmy' Jackson has died aged 81.

According to the former players association website he made 113 appearances in the famous black and white between 1951 and 1957, in which he netted 47 goals.

Sounds like a brilliant servant to the football club.

Rest In Peace Jimmy, thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

They don't appear to be in-form, quite a few concerning comments from some of their fans seems to suggest they're concerned about getting relegated. The manager also seems to be in denial about the performances they've put in, so on paper it would be close to us when we had Curle in charge apart from the relegation well to some extent.

Should be a great game! Hopefully 90 minutes of much improved, rather than 45 but Chris can make this count when he sends the lads out.

2-1 to us. Your thoughts?

Sadlad will be Gladlad tonight after Saddlers 3-0 win away, keeping them just above Notts and  so close to a play off spot.

Feel sorry for the Shrews equallising in the 90th min after having a player sent off in the 37th min only for table topping Doncaster to score in the 93rd min.Heartbreaking!

Hartlepool score 3 against Crewe to help their survival prospects.

Bury,who Notts completely outplayed last Friday,win away at 4th placed Swindon.

There's still a long way to go and a lot of teams still have a lot to play for.

Cheeky (Kate) has baked and made a wonderful cake for you all on her own, she's actually very good at it! (she doesn't think so) I'm impressed tho!

Happy Birthday Dad! We'll be coming over at some point in the day, probably after Jakes finished and I think Kate said you would be out so. I hope you have a good day and PoN members of all walks of life take the time to wish you birthday wishes. You put a lot of time in around here and I very much appreciate it!

Hi Folks! Thought I would sign up on here for some good postings with you. I have seen some of Notts-Joe's posts on other forums and its because of this I'm here now! A Saddlers fan for 47 years and have been to Meadow Lane about  8 or 9 times over the years.

Hello, I'm David. I've been away from Nottingham for a fair amount of time now, although I still live in the United Kingdom. I frequently attend games, not many that I miss but I can't pretend to be a season ticket holder or anything. I also attend just over 50% of the away games but I never miss a local one. Now I need to admit to lurking in the background which I have on the site ever since (who I believe to be Joe) gave me a flyer at Hartlepool I believe. Very friendly guy, well spoken for his age. I look forward to taking part in the community when time permits Upthepies

Congratulations Tonyhateley!

A much deserved Member of the month.

Tonyhateley has done alot of posting and contributing on this site and supporting us. Getting involved in the chat is also an important part of the site, which tony has been on a fair few times aswell.

He has been involved in voting for the competition and his posts on the site have always been interesting to read.

I'd like everyone to congratulate Tonyhateley on his great achievement this month as our 3rd member of the month.

At the start of the season I don't think many teams would of considered this 'big' or 'important' but to Tranmere's credit they've been great this season, they've beat many odds and although some people think they're on the down now I personally do not! I think they've got a good manager who knows what each of his players offers, they don't have a bad side either. I think we need to remain positive from the game against Bury, hopefully that would of rekindled some of our players hopes.

We can't allow any side to break, attack and score so easily. Bury's goal was great but we allowed it to happen, so I'm hoping Chris see's we need to get tighter and man up.

I think the score could go many ways, though I think a draw would sum this up.

Goodluck Chris & the Lads. (Hope the travelling fans enjoy it)
