It's strange one, described as a 'recurring illness' rather than a recurring injury. Haven't really heard that description since the days when Chris Short suffered with a stomach fungus that frequently left him debilitated. Hopefully this is just a case of bad luck, after all it's not unknown to recover from one bug and go down with another soon afterwards because your immune system is still compromised.

I'm imagining Langstaff will be the primary replacement for Kyle Wootton, albeit they're not identical types of player. Mitchell presumably will be the back-up, and like many I've seen flashes to suggest what he can do, but remain to be convinced. Perhaps he could grow into a better player having previously been in the 'second fiddle to Wootton' mindset, but if he's going to ignite his Notts career it has to be this season.

Not completely over Covid?

On a separate point, JOB nearly cost us two goals from identical errors in the same game. Liability?

Possibly, although if that's the case it's strange LW didn't just say it. I hope it's not long Covid, which could take any amount of time to overcome.

LW made it clear he wasn't impressed with the mistake, so it won't have done Jim any favours at this stage of assessing the squad. As fans, many of us like Jim's enthusiasm and effort shown previously, but of course the new manager will be judging him on his form now. I wouldn't say he's a liability, but as I've said on many threads, the midfield overall is where we need to strengthen most.

We need to judge every player on form now, not on enthusiasm and effort shown previously. I like JOB but I can only see him on the bench this season.

If we start another season with JOB as a viable first team option we're going absolutely nowhere.
