Not sure Palmer is vocal enough. He would be my first name on the team sheet but not a captain.

Mine too, but before Ruben?

Is the love affair over?

I met and spoke to Dowson after one of our games and what you say marries with my experience. Lovely guy, very likable, and very open and honest with this thoughts, couldn't believe how much he spoke to an opposition fan.

Nowt wrong with not hearing much from owners, has worked wonders at Notts, especially if you have a good chief exec. It's when you hear too much from the owner that you need to worry.

Out of interest, what game was that..

It's a very close run thing, Ruben is more talented, Palmer makes us tick and is key to how we play.

No don't be silly, I HEART Ruben always has always will. It all began during the pandemic on an internet stream.....

Unsurprisingly it was at Woking Vs Notts County in early 2022 in the Cardinal's bar post game. The locals were not happy with the situation after a very comfortable victory for the stylish magpies that day.

This current team would be somewhat off the pace in aiming for promotion from league two imo. We’d need serious defensive improvements to the squad if we were going to challenge - all hypothetical of course! Rawlo, Cameron, Bajrami and even Baldwin would struggle in League 2. Brindley and Chicksen, playing as conventional RB and LB would be ok I think. We’d also need a new goalie…..irrespective of what league we are in.

Baldwin was more than good enough at MK near the top of League One and got released because of injuries. If he’s fit then he’s comfortably good enough for League Two.

I definitely think our defence is unfairly maligned sometimes. We play an incredibly open, expansive game, deliberately leave masses of space in behind and we still have the second best defensive record in the league, conceding comfortably fewer than a goal a game.

You were lucky to get in, When we tried they wouldn't let us.

That's an excellent point and worth remembering, to score that many goals we play in such a way that as Jacob rightly says we play so open and such a high backline. It is therefore very impressive to have the second best defensive record in the league.

Naturally the main reason for this is all that tippy tappy football that makes sure we have the lion share of possession in (almost) every game this season. If they don't have the ball, they don't score.

Yup it's designated for home fans only because the players and manager go in afterwards for a pint and a chat.

But not lucky it's who you know
