Not yet but, I applied three weeks ago and I received through the post what I expected to be my new membership card. Only to find when I opened it, it was an invitation to apply for club membership.

Amazed there doesn't seem to be a concrete offer for Wood I don't see him going for less than 25 million

Wex, I don't know about concrete but I'd be mortar-fied if he went for less than that! πŸ˜‚

If we see movement I think it will be toward the end of the transfer window. I think most Prem bosses know he won't score loads in the Prem but will probably be a punt by a club who don't have much choice, potentially when they have lost their own forward to someone else with not too much time left before the window closes.

Wood had a fluke season last year. We will see him in a more realistic light soon. Slow, couldn't trap a bag of cement, bad first touch, misses sitters. A one season wonder. Sorry, but that has been my opinion for years. I have seen him play for NZ v Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia and believe me, you would never guess he was a pro.

Tell us how you really feel about Wood, octo. Don't sit on the fence.

Captain Bit left field maybe but. Ideally needs to be someone that plays every week and with so many vying for those cm spots I can't see any of those being able to say that. So ladies and gents were looking at a defender who's never let the side down and shows an infectious enthusiasm to the cause Ladies and gents I give you Luke ayling Mr consistent

I tend to agree woody, but I feel it's a bit of a Kop out process, that may split the camp? The manager should be making these decisions, to show his authority. Is there a shortlist of who to vote for? What if there's a tie on the voting? Do you get kicked out of the house if you conspire with the other team mates to influence votes?

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 20:15:58
Ayling for me

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 20:42:01
Nice to meet someone of a like mind in Notts

Yes the manager could chose the captain but it's becoming more common to pass responsibility to the changing room to make decisions. Both have the merits but as a new manager coming in it makes sense. Gives the group (oooo I sound like GM) ownership of what happens this season. If anything it should prevent splits between the new and the old and bring them together

Who's everyone's choice for captain this season? I know Birdy is currently but he won't be guaranteed to start. I think O'Kane will have a big season this year and gets my vote. Pontus is an obvious choice but he already leads like a captain, so no need to give it to him and Woody doesn't need the extra pressure. MM

Believable1 Unbelievable0

04 Aug 2017 12:33:35
I think O'Kane, and Pontus is too much of a hot head, maybe once he can be more cool headed, then deffo.

Agree0 Disagree1

04 Aug 2017 12:51:27
I punctuated that poorly. I mean I'd pick O'Kane, however, Pontus is too much of a hot head.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 12:51:56
The captaincy for Pontus might bring a calmer influence on him . and when fit is prob a certain starter. I like the thought off okane as captain also but Will he be a starter every week. I'm going too throw ayling in for captains armnand as consistent and a certain starter. Be interns to see who gets it and TCs reasoning if he airs it ? Think we will win 0-2 on Sunday βš½οΈβš½οΈπŸ‘πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒcmon the whites. Off the a flyer

Was just going to through ayling in too and noticed that you had mentioned him batty! I don't feel that o'Kane is a dominant enough figure. he doesn't dominate the opposition or the centre of the field. ayling is much more of an imposing figure in my book. The other thing about Pontus is sometimes getting the captaincy distracts them from the main game and they loose that special something. I'm thinking Rooney, flintoff and in a way messi for Argentina.

Agree1 Disagree1

04 Aug 2017 13:48:10
Players picking captain, reckon Pontus or Ayling certain starters.

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 15:28:42
Not ayling. Pontus. Kane.

Cura, our thoughts the same again πŸ‘πŸ‘ did we sign Harry Kane. Absolutely brilliant. πŸ‘βš½οΈπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Captain Luke "Skywalker" Ayling my choice

Agree1 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 21:17:24
El capitan needs to be a cb or cm. not a wide player, gk or striker. I'd say Pontus

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 22:57:10
Captain can play anywhere, but needs to be guaranteed to be a starter. That leaves Pontus and Ayling. The captain doesn't just rule in the field of play, he leads on and off the pitch.

So season starts tomorrow although I know our game is Sunday and still no announcement on squad numbers! Don't understand every year it gets announced but this year nothing, don't like the guessing games i know it's very trivial I just like to know. Hopeing for a huge season this season.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

04 Aug 2017 06:59:59
So, first game up Sunday, can't wait. for all our new signings I think we will only have 2 outfield 'new' players starting the game, probably alioski and Pennington, our bench looks much stronger than last season, still don't see a huge amount of goals in our team but hope I am wrong, which 2 out of about 6 would you start in centre mid? . viera not featured much in pre season due to being with England, klich not fully fit yet, bridcutt seems slightly out of favour. o Kane/Phillips?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

04 Aug 2017 07:49:11
Leeeeeeds, I think you are probably right although Klich might sneak in ahead of Phillips depending on how he is doing with his fitness. OKane seems to have impressed enough to have taken one of the central spaces for now, so tough competition for the other spot. Like you I would start with Hernandez, knowing that we have an alternative to come on later in the game. After a few games that might switch around with Hernandez the one coming on later. It's hard to tell what the boss thinks of Viera. I'm going to the Port Vale game and that is going to be interesting to see who gets a run out. Good Luck to all the team, let's get out there and have a great start to the season!

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 11:52:42
Starting with O'Kane and Phillips in midfield or Bridcutt basically means nothings changed with no goal threat I'm certain one or two new recruits will establish themselves ahead of two of these players, 18,000 S/T sold Marching up Together.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 23:18:07
Viera was busy over the summer with England so needs a break. Big squad now so we can. Also needs to improve his passing.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Aug 2017 00:13:42
Why we would ideally like a couple more reconised players in the team let's not forget A lot of teams have succeeded in the past without household names. Its a combination of ability. Good management. Passion. Effort. Teamwork and Luck. That gets you promoted
