Match Thread vs. Leicester City 09.07.22 [PSF]

Ha ha this is true, it's great that however the previous season has gone you always have that feeling that this might be our year!

Tis true.

As a Notts fan or a supporter, of any
Club that rarely sees success (and there are dozens and dozens and dozens of them) you need to have this (preseason) period of hope and optimism. I can't imagine being a lower league fan who carries on the standard, annual hurt, pain, and disappointment through the summer months. Where's the fun in that? Give yourselves a break

To be honest whilst the last years have been bad, as the team who have been promoted/relegated more that any other we have had more "interesting" seasons than most. The next change will be a promotion, only issue is when that will be.

‘Non league Notts County’ still hurts. Get f00ked Hardy and Ardley.

No one seems to have mentioned the goalkeeper who played the last 30 minutes - I presume it was Brooks who I thought played well and perhaps deserves the No 2 spot.

Its hard however, it has been said that if Hardy hasn’t bought Notts that they would have been wound up and gone forever!

I've heard that before, similar has been said before Hardy, I don't believe it.

It was Brooks, he did play well, and I also think he deserves the No 2 spot. The problem is that if we carry on like before (no sub keeper on the bench), barring injury or suspension he won't be in the matchday squad. He needs experience, so I think the best option is to loan him out to the highest level where he gets game time, with an instant recall clause in the deal.

Somewhere like Alfreton. It’s local enough.

The main issue is that despite some players not being in the match day squad, they are still at the game. You wouldn’t want to risk Slocombe getting injured in the warm up, or starting to feel ill and not have a goalkeeper in the building.

Its about time that the NL got their act together to allow 5 outfield subs + GK - surely most if not all NL teams have a reserve keeper so it would be the same for all teams. Is there any way we could start lobbying the NL?

Their email address is [email protected] - I am going to compose a letter suggesting that they at least discuss the issue. Won’t make any difference of course but at least I will have tried.
