My family is originally from Nottingham… one of my earliest memories is the family irritation at Nottingham Forest being called Notts Forest.. mainly because they were all Notts County fans, not Nottm Forest fans! Shouldn’t bother me but I get irritated by teams being referred to inconsistently by an assortment of names; County are almost invariably referred to as ‘Stockport’ (a town in north west England) rather than Stockport County (the football club) whilst Aston Villa are often referred to as Villa by TV commentators and pundits- ditto Forest, Palace, and a string of others. Use of names other than the town/city of origin of the team is equally inconsistent, Luton Town were never referred to as ‘Town’ (supporters never use the term) but often as ‘the Hatters’, ditto Norwich City who were often the Canaries; other teams with common names like Blackburn Rovers however were often referred to as ‘Rovers’. Its a pity the commentators don’t do their research a bit better, as we all know, our supporters almost invariably use ‘County’ amongst themselves appending ‘Stockport’ where necessary; Notts County supporters are completely the opposite almost never referring to themselves as ‘County’ but habitually as ‘Notts’ (again using the full name only for the avoidance of doubt with outsiders). Why were we always ‘Stockport’ on the BBC Football site tables, but for the entire season it was ‘Mansfield Town’, and ‘Sutton United’ (it’s not to do with number of letters, or could have been reduced to ‘Co’ as was the Utd attached to Cambridge Utd). The Sky Football site tables for next season are better with every team having their full name, though we are currently in a relegation spot with only three ‘W’s below us. As for the farce of AFC Wimbledon appearing alphabetically behind only Accrington Stanley on the results, fixtures, and everything else… You’ve taken that to a wholly new level 😜

Crawley will be straight back down if they lose him Outside the League 2 top three last season I think the four play-off teams were poor (Donny included); without significant investment Crawley will struggle as did Carlisle last season. Mansfield extending the deal of midfielder Stephen Quinn aged 38/39 by one year, and signing striker Lee Gregory aged 35 from Sheffield Wed will be an interesting alternative transfer strategy to watch unfold compared to our own approach. I think League 1 will split in half next season with a competitive top 12 - some of whom will be very competitive, and a bottom 12 that will be looking no higher than mid-table or just staying up. A small number of teams that will be in the bottom half look very poor at the moment (Shrewsbury for example), and I think there will be enough struggling teams in the bottom half to give anyone but the very worst a chance of surviving. Edit: Paragraph 3 makes no sense, I meant League 1 not League 2 as in the original, so have now edited it.

Notts County have sorted all the defence out with really good quality.

Notts County have sorted all the defence out with really good quality. They might change their tactics as well and end up with loads of clean sheets but struggle to score.

They might change their tactics as well and end up with loads of clean sheets but struggle to score. they might do but having dropped off as bad as they did, because the defence was as bad as it was. They've kept all the attacking players so far and upgraded the defence and keeper. They will probably say they just need depth in a couple more positions

Sorry what... Can't see anything other than mk and Notts finishing in the top 3. MK Dons are a very well funded football club. We did really well last season. League Two will be a tough league next year, once again.

Okonkwo signs permanentpy for Wrexham Hope he doesn’t hurt his back picking the ball out of the back of his net repeatedly due to Jurassic Parky’s approach.
