Maybe so. Those padel courts really do give us the local bragging rights, right?

I don't think any of us, you, or Stags could guarantee him a regular starting place. Stags seems to have tons of strikers as it is - Nichols, Gregory, Akins, Oates, Swann, Bowery, plus a youngster or two.

On a Stags/Notts-related note, I see Jimmy Knowles signed for Accy. Call me crazy, but I'd have been OK with him returning to Notts as a squad player. Always seems to score goals and still only 22. We don't need a marquee signing, just someone half decent as backup to Jatta if gets injured.

He wasn’t someone I was fussed about signing, rather we got a quality 10 in who can play 9 if required. Does anyone know if Will Swan is more of a 10?

Swan is a 9. With a dodgy injury record. Suits our profile well.

Terry Ablade from Fulham is a name getting linked with notts.

I’m really not fussed about Swann. Never really rated him at Mansfield and they would want a fee which I’d rather we not give them. Pretty sure the 10 will be McGoldrick, Scott maybe Austin or JJ if needs be with Jatta leading the line. I’d rather we got a pacey no9 who can press from the front. The young lad from Derby wouldn’t be a bad shout til Jan but knowing Notts it’ll likely be someone we didn’t see coming. I’m 95# certain at least one attacking player will join before the end of the month. The midfield concerns me slightly. In like the sound of Crowley and Robertson ahead of Palmer but we just don’t know what Palmer we’ll be getting back. Then it’s a question of are Edwards and Hinchy good enough to come in.

Was it you who backed 'Year of the Swan' to be League 2 top scorer last season?

Or am I thinking of someone else?

Sounds more like he should be linked with Sheffield Utd.
