For what it's worth, I also hope Doncaster go up.

Alan Smith is the caretaker at Notts Co.

[Colly]

That's a bit of a demotion, he was player-coach last week.

Clearly this is poor oversight as who's now going to be making the cups of tea and bringing the biscuits round. 

No wonder there's been issues with the club!!

Brad Bobley is free. But I guess they'll have to get used to coffee.

As long as he isn't on the pitch, I'm not bothered where Alan Smith is.

For anyone looking for something to watch tonight, Doncaster Rovers host Portsmouth on Sky Sports tonight, 7.45pm kick-off in League Two.

At this rate I'll be watching it on a screen myself as I have been struck down with the second wave of beubonic plague it seems and sitting out in the cold all evening probably won't help.

That second goal was liquid football

So, so good. I thought the game was a great advert for League Two, really enjoyed it. Great win, and it made sitting out in the cold making my illness worse completely worth it.

There are many good players in the lower leagues and even non-league you will find a bit of class. More top teams should take a chance on some lower league players even though not every player will be a Dele Alli or a Jamie Vardy. Its good to see that our pyramid is pretty decent, I dunno how many other countries have it as good at a lower level as us.

I would stake the claim (and defend to the hilt) that England has the best overall pyramid of football in the world, the quality even in the third tier in other leading nations just isn't close to the standard here.

I don't think any other country off the top of my head has four leagues that are fully professional, nevermind a fifth that practically is as well.

Even in non-league we have a national league and just below that it is separated into Norf and Saaf. In other countries it would be lots of regional leagues. In France when you get to the fourth tier it is regional, in Germany it is the fourth tier that gets regional and in Spain it is the third tier that gets regional AND it gets padded out a bit with the big clubs reserve teams.

Scotland has four tiers but they only have ten teams in each and a few of them are amateur I think.

Morecambe supporters pay manager Jim Bentley’s £1,000 FA fine

I saw that earlier. You can tell he is cut up about it but trying to put a bit of a face on. Such a big manly man almost brought to tears. Also I didn't realise Al Murray was managing Morecambe.

Rumours about Kevin Nolan joining Notts County in some capacity, possibly as manager, have surfaced over the past few hours. How well liked was he at Leyton Orient?
