It's good news and well-deserved...
after the likes of Reeves, Miller etc. it's good to see players like Palmer and Chicksen want to stay with the club.
We shouldn't forget about Chicks on the left side of a back 3 over the course of his contract. He's really good there.
Absolutely delighted that Chickers has signed up as he has been largely brilliant all season, from the list above other than Mitchell and Francis I would have all of them on the books for at least another year... Mair is a class keeper and should go on to bigger and better things but I think signing Jones would be massive, the guy simply oozes class and given a run he is showing us what he can do...brilliant playerQuote:

Nemane we should hold onto but I would hope both he and Chicksen improve their decision making and quality of crosses. There is a noticeable lack of ability to pick players out given the number of opportunities they get. You only need compare the accuracy of delivery from Austin and Jones which is far better.
I don’t feel quite as strongly about Cameron, but it’ll be interesting to see where he goes if he doesn’t stay. The rest agree 100%, especially about Chicksen. 3 assists from wing back in this team is poor.Quote:

We won't find it easy to find a player who can use the ball and surge forward as well as he does. Really want to see him stay at Notts
Not in regards to the quality of his crossing, no.Quote:

I feel he is the most athletic player in the squad, he can also actually defend unlike Nemane, who is somewhat exposed when asked to complete defensive duties. It doesn't hide the fact there is a definite lack of quality delivery from both sides once we get in behind. I am absolutely aware that both of those players deliver huge physical effort to help obtain those opportunities but once there those chances are too often squandered by poor delivery.Quote:

That's been a rip-roaring success and long may it continue (I didn't like his mid-season interview when he said he had become selfish and had to change - the goals promptly dried up, he had to continue being a selfish b'stard. It was working :) )
As of now, other parts of his attacking game are still not up to scratch. If he intends to continue playing there, he should put in a tonne of work on his final ball before the start of next season.
Beating his man though, a la Nemane, Richardson, Miller, Vincent even...we will never see. You can't fix that as a 31 year-old former defender (but we know Chicks loves a challenge, so we can't put that past him completely)
