⚽ Match Thread vs. Dover Athletic 26.04.22 [NL]

[SaltySeaDog]

I wasn't sure who else apart from Wootten was out of contract this summer so had a look at when contracts due:

Slocombe June 2023
Brooks June 2022

DKE June 2022
Brindley June 2022
Taylor June 2023
Chicksen June 2022
Lacey June 2022
Rawlinson June 2023
Cameron June 2023

Francis June 2023
JOB June 2023
Palmer June 2023
Vincent June 2023

Nemane June 2023
Rodrigues June 2023
Roberts June 2023
Mitchell June 2023
Wootten June 2022
Sam June 2022
Knight June 2023

I think that is the current situation.

Oh wow, great detective work PTID.

So 7 out of contract this summer. Fingers crossed we can keep most of those, and build on the squad strength. We've got quite a few out of contract next summer so hopefully these will also get extended at some point.

I've no idea why some posters spend so much time talking about, and even sneering at, other posters.

It's football. Talk to 10 people around you at a game and you'd probably get 10 different views on it. I don't really get to games currently but read the opinions on here, positive and negative. They're all valid, just opinions.

Plus, people have other stuff going on in their lives and that can impact how they post. I've definitely been arsier on here when other difficulties have been going on, we're probably all the same in that.

Cheltenham summed everything really well in his/her earlier post regarding the mindset of many supporters.

Well said Cher !..... Certain posters seem to revel in it, and talk about little else.

I dunno either especially as I don't know that the person. It would take a speculative guess on my part to know whether ultra was at the game or not. I certainly wouldn't guess and report it as fact. Personally I don't care if he was or wasnt, what amazed me was that someone was posting reguarly on the match thread who was watching the game in person. Does anyone else do this?

As for me owd mucker durham, again I have no idea which games he has or hasn't been too, nor do I care. I doubt many people on here care tbh, no need for a poll lol. If I had to guess I'd say he's been to a lots and lots of games both home and away this season, let's say nearly all.

What I would like to know is how many games this season do you have to had seen live to qualify for comment in the world of durham?
And does there have to be a good mix of home and away to be able to give a balanced view on players and the team as a whole? Or can you attend the vast majority of home games on your doorstep but only go to one single away game all season and still comment on all things Notts?

In my opinion a supporter is a person who actually goes to the matches and helps the club financially. On the other side of the coin is what i call a follower of the club. These are people who follow the progress of the club either by listening to the radio, watching TV or being part of a fans forum, whilst not paying anything towards the clubs finances. And out of interest i have travelled over 6000 miles this year watching Notts...

As a matter of interest, have Dover, Weymouth, or KL got any players that might pop up as radar worthy? Any players stood out, that we might pick up cheap with them dropping down?

One I’d definitely look it is Gold Omotayo, acted in both games against us for KLT. Thought he was very impressive at our place and a possible replacement for Woots if he leaves, if not he’d be a very good back up.

I’m actually spending time at the moment scouting NL/N/S and have identified a few very interesting players, none of which are currently being bandied around on Twitter etc. Watch this space.

I was impressed with the Weymouth number 3 against us at home, don't know his name but stood out not only because of his red boots and ginger hair. He got forward really well and played some nice one touch passes. Looked very youthful as well, so would fit our remit.

Ben Greenwood? He's on loan from Bournemouth.

That doesn't surprise me I doubt many if any have been to more games and travelled more miles than you. It clearly is a big part of your life and you are a die hard supporter.

Saying all that you didn't answer either question. Maybe I will take a guess and report it as fact

Don't say that Cher or your views won't carry any weight if you don't get to many games currently and you may get called out if you comment on the club that you've supported/followed for decades.

Completely agree about other things going on that people don't seem to consider, health issues, distances, family and even the dreaded shift patterns prevent people from going as much as they would like or once did. The obsession of how many games people go to is certainly an interesting and new one on NCM.

I also think Chelts nailed it, especially when he mentioned "defence mechanism" for many. There sure is plenty of that on display on NCM lol. I've spotted a clear connection and correlation but will leave that for another day.

Didn't realise until seeing highlights that's Rúben got another assist as well as a goal, his season stats must look very impressive

Don't drag me into your nonsensical spats.

Well said, Cher.
