HEAD COACH<br />

ian<br />

burchnall<br />

Saturday’s display against Eastleigh was, in my view, our most complete<br />

performance of the season – and we’ll need to replicate it tonight against<br />

a very strong <strong>Halifax</strong> side who will be keen to get back to action having<br />

seen their match postponed at the weekend.<br />

W<br />

e were relentless on Saturday,<br />

not giving Eastleigh a single<br />

chance, and we could have<br />

scored a lot more goals in the second half<br />

considering the number of chances we<br />

created. We opened them up consistently<br />

and got a lot of joy from wide areas.<br />

That’s the biggest factor – getting the<br />

players in the right positions. The finishes<br />

will come and, on another day, like in our<br />

previous home game against Barnet when<br />

we scored six, the scoreline would have been<br />

far more convincing.<br />

It was a performance that was right up my<br />

street because we controlled the game so<br />

well, even when we lost the ball. Our offthe-ball<br />

work was really good and that was<br />

pivotal to us keeping a clean sheet, which I<br />

was really pleased with.<br />

We’re conscious we’ve been going behind in<br />

games giving ourselves work to do, so we’ve<br />

been working on it. We want to be more<br />

complete and, to achieve that, our work off<br />

the ball has to be better. We’ve addressed it<br />

and I was happy it resulted in a clean sheet.<br />

Not conceding was a big plus for us.<br />

A relentless run of fixtures lies ahead of<br />

us but that’s exactly what we want right<br />

now. Games being called off has been a<br />

frustration and I think we saw a release from<br />

that at the weekend.<br />

Now it’s about finding our form, building<br />

momentum and pushing up the league.<br />

Everyone can see that our top level of<br />

performance is good – we’ve just got to<br />

keep finding it and get into a rhythm.<br />

As always, thank you for your brilliant<br />

support and I wish those of you making<br />

the trips to Woking and Chesterfield a safe<br />

journey.<br />

opposition<br />

halifax town<br />

Honours are even as we<br />

face FC <strong>Halifax</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />

tonight, with both clubs<br />

having won one of two previous<br />

meetings this season.<br />

The visitors have not played a<br />

game since we beat them in the FA<br />

Trophy at the Shay 10 days ago after<br />

Saturday’s home match with Dover<br />

Athletic was postponed because of a<br />

waterlogged pitch.<br />

Ironically, Dover were our<br />

scheduled opponents in midweek<br />

but the match at the Crabble Athletic<br />

Ground was postponed for a second<br />

time with their pitch again being<br />

deemed unfit due to the weather.<br />

<strong>Halifax</strong> have been something of a<br />

surprise package this season and are<br />

currently well placed in the play-off<br />

positions on 50 points, which has led<br />

to manager Pete Wild being linked<br />

with various managerial vacancies<br />

due to the impressive job he has done<br />

at the Shay.<br />

He said: “Because the team are<br />

doing well, the person at the head of<br />

that will get talked about.<br />

“My job is to do the best I can for FC<br />

<strong>Halifax</strong> <strong>Town</strong> and I’m trying to do that<br />

every day.”<br />

Discussing his team’s promotion<br />

prospects, Wild said: “All the<br />

pressure’s on the big boys because<br />

they’ve spent all the money.<br />

“The only pressure on us is that we<br />

put on ourselves and I alleviate that<br />

by just telling them to go out, play<br />

and enjoy it.<br />

“Competing with the big boys in<br />

this league is fantastic and I’m pleased<br />

for the group, the club, the owner<br />

and the fans that we’re fighting at the<br />

right end of the table.”<br />

Our first meeting took place back<br />

in October, a National League clash at<br />

the Shay, and it was certainly eventful<br />

as we surrendered a two-goal lead to<br />

lose 3-2.<br />

Ruben Rodrigues put us into the<br />

lead when he was first to the ball<br />

and produced a magnificent longrange<br />

lob over Shaymen keeper Sam<br />

Johnson, and that lead was doubled<br />

in the second half when Alex Lacey<br />

headed home a corner.<br />

<strong>Halifax</strong> had Tom Bradbury sent off<br />

on the hour mark but despite their<br />

man disadvantage, Jordan Slew,<br />

Billy Waters and Matty Warburton all<br />

scored to secure the points.<br />

In the recent Trophy tie, also at the<br />

Shay, Kairo Mitchell struck late on to<br />

send us into the quarter-finals.<br />

We’d taken an early lead through<br />

Rodrigues but that was cancelled<br />

out by Waters after the break.<br />

But Mitchell was on hand to apply<br />

the finishing touch after Jayden<br />

Richardson’s surging run presented<br />

Cal Roberts with the chance to cross.<br />

<strong>Halifax</strong> again ended the game with<br />

10 men after Jay Benn was shown a<br />

second yellow late in the game.<br />

After the match Wild said: “They<br />

scored early on whilst we looked way<br />

off the pace. We often do look off<br />

the pace when we have had a longer<br />

break.<br />

“We said there was nothing to lose<br />

in the second half so we wanted to<br />

exploit their weaknesses and that was<br />

rewarded with a really well worked<br />

goal.<br />

“But they then brought on some<br />

quality players and created a chance<br />

from nothing and it has won them<br />

the game.<br />

“We’re disappointed with the result<br />

but there were some pleasing aspects<br />

to our play.”<br />

KYLE WOOTTON IS<br />

HAPPY THAT WE’RE<br />

GOING ‘UNDER<br />

THE RADAR’ IN<br />

THIS SEASON’S<br />

VANARAMA<br />

NATIONAL LEAGUE<br />

PROMOTION RACE<br />

We come into tonight’s big game against promotion<br />

rivals <strong>Halifax</strong> in eighth place despite having won our<br />

last two league matches – a 6-1 demolition of Barnet<br />

and a 2-0 cruise against Eastleigh, with Wootton<br />

scoring in each to take his season tally to 17.<br />

And, while victory tonight could see us leapfrog <strong>Halifax</strong><br />

into fourth place, Wootton doesn’t believe the standings<br />

tell the true story of the season so far.<br />

“The table is a bit false for me. We’re not looking too<br />

much into it,” said our top scorer.<br />

“It’s good that a lot of people aren’t really mentioning us<br />

and that we’re seen as underdogs at this stage.<br />

“We’re in a lower position than we want to be at the<br />

minute but we’ve got games in hand and a lot of the top<br />

teams still to play, which will give us the opportunity to<br />

make ground up quickly.<br />

“It’s not a worry for us – we’re just focusing game by<br />

game and are determined to put ourselves in a good<br />

position for the final weeks of the season.<br />

“We don’t mind being under the radar at all – we’re in a<br />

good place.”<br />

Wootton does, however, acknowledge the expectation<br />

placed upon him and his team-mates to have the club<br />

competing at the top of the table.<br />

“I still feel a pressure when I go out there because, due<br />

to the size of the club, we’re expected to win games<br />

whether it’s home or away,” he said.<br />

“But I think we’ve got a group that thrives off the<br />

pressure of knowing we need to get results.<br />

“There are some players in the squad, myself included,<br />

who have had that experience of coming up short.<br />

“But this is a young squad, and I think people forget<br />

that. The majority of players are under 26 and, while we<br />

do have a good mix with a few over 30, we are learning<br />

every day under a great head coach, along with Michael<br />

Doyle who plays a massive part due to his experience of<br />

playing in a number of leagues.<br />

“We believe we can do it and we’ll be giving everything<br />

we can.”<br />

A huge thank you to everyone who helped raise a<br />

magnificent total of £2,632 for Leila Rose Hallam at<br />

Saturday’s match.<br />

Leila, 7, has been battling against rhabdomyosarcoma, a<br />

rare and aggressive form of cancer, since October and it<br />

has sadly spread to various areas of her body.<br />

The nature of her cancer means doctors have been unable<br />

to find her primary tumor, which is key to halting the<br />

spread. This means the tumor could return after treatment<br />

and she will therefore be closely monitored.<br />

Leila’s treatment will last at least a year and will consist of<br />

strong chemotherapy, radiotherapy and operations.<br />

Her wish is to travel to Disneyland once she is well enough<br />

and, with incredible support already shown for her cause,<br />

the family have reached their £20,000 fundraising target.<br />

They now want to donate funds to the rhabdomyosarcoma<br />

clinical trial to promote awareness of a cancer which affects<br />

fewer than 60 children in the UK each year.<br />

To help raise awareness, Matt and his friends will be<br />

tackling the Three Peaks Challenge in June, hiking up<br />

Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike in<br />

under 24 hours.<br />

Having first met the Shaymen in August 1958, when we played out<br />

a 1-1 draw in the old Third Division, we had a 46-year break from<br />

playing them before being reacquainted during our first season in<br />

the National League.<br />

Here, we look back on our first meeting after all that time.<br />

UNDER 19S FORWARD LUTHER<br />

MUNAKANDAFA HAS BEEN TESTING HIMSELF<br />

ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE<br />

The youngster has represented England Colleges on<br />

two occasions this season, scoring in both games,<br />

and has picked up some wonderful experience<br />

along the way.<br />

“The first training camp was at St George’s Park,<br />

where the senior England team base themselves,” said<br />

Munakandafa, who joined us this summer. “We had<br />

England coaches and the facilities like the swimming<br />

pool were amazing.<br />

“There was a real professional feel and it was a<br />

motivational experience for me. There were a lot of<br />

11v11s in training to establish who would be starting the<br />

game at the end of the camp, so you had to be on form<br />

every day to get your chance to play.”<br />

The first match was against the Independent Schools<br />

FA – a team comprised of the best players from private<br />

schools – and Munakandafa more recently pitted his<br />

wits against a Welsh college side in Cardiff.<br />

“I’m a striker/winger and I’d say my best attributes are<br />

my pace, strength and ability to take players on one-vone,”<br />

said Munakandafa.<br />

“To break into the England College set-up I had to go<br />

through trials in Newcastle with around 500 other players.<br />

I did well enough to get called back for a final trial and, up<br />

against around 80 players, I managed to get called up.<br />

“I’ve really enjoyed my time at <strong>Notts</strong> so far. I feel really<br />

welcome and our coaches Craig Gordon and Mark<br />

Burton have brought the best out of me in a really short<br />

space of time. I’m really grateful to them.”<br />

It’s also been a special time for Munakandafa’s loved<br />

ones, who have enjoyed seeing his continued success.<br />

“All my family and friends are really proud that I’ve won<br />

international caps,” he said. “I’ve got family in America<br />

and Zimbabwe and they’ve all been calling me!<br />

“My great grandad, who I was fortunate to meet as he<br />

lived until he was 108, founded a club in Zimbabwe years<br />

ago who wear the same colours, so it feels like home at<br />

Meadow Lane!<br />

“I’ve been lucky enough to train with the first team a<br />

few times and I’ve spoken to Adam Chicksen (Zimbabwe<br />

international). He’s very experienced and is someone I<br />

look up to.”<br />

Coming up<br />

in hospitality<br />

The match may still be well over a month<br />

away, but huge demand for our home<br />

league fixture against Chesterfield<br />

has led us to opening another of our<br />

hospitality suites.<br />

We have also confirmed details for our Buildbase<br />

FA Trophy quarter-final against Wrexham, with a<br />

delicious curry-themed menu on offer for what<br />

promises to be a cracking cup tie under the lights.<br />

| MEADOW LANE | 5,682 (112)<br />

<strong>Notts</strong> 2<br />

(Roberts 35’, Wootton 41’)<br />

Eastleigh 0<br />

First-half goals from Cal Roberts<br />

and Kyle Wootton gave us a<br />

comfortable win over Eastleigh.<br />

The former opened the scoring<br />

with a teasing cross which<br />

evaded everyone in the middle<br />

before Wootton robbed our<br />

former keeper Joe McDonnell<br />

in his own area and finished<br />

brilliantly from a tricky angle.<br />

We had several opportunities<br />

to increase the scoreline in a<br />

display of total dominance but<br />

in the end the two-goal cushion<br />

was enough to seal the points.<br />

STARTING XI: Jaros; Chicksen,<br />

Francis, Palmer, Rodrigues; Sam<br />

The NLP’s Fan’s Forum letters<br />

page gets all sorts of weird,<br />

wonderful – and sometimes<br />

unprintable – contributions<br />

from readers.<br />

From debates about the non-league<br />

pyramid structure, printed programmes,<br />

officials, friendly clubs or nostalgic trips<br />

down memory lane, we get the full<br />

spectrum of letters and emails.<br />

Often a reader will spark a great<br />

debate. This week, Ray Ellis from<br />

Tonbridge is that man with a question<br />

that has had our inbox flooded.<br />

Tonbridge Angels’ Sonny Miles<br />

recently claimed the club’s record<br />

number of appearances with 377. Who,<br />

Ray asks, is the record holder at one<br />

club across the whole of non-league?<br />

Well, it certainly resonated.<br />

A reader from Grays flagged 673 games<br />

played by Phil Sammons (top left) and<br />

there was a shout for Gerry Keegan<br />

(topright) of South Liverpool, who<br />

played 544 times for the famous club.<br />

Gloucester City fans have been on<br />

touch on their legendary midfielder<br />

Tom Webb (below), who made 718<br />

appearances for the Tigers before<br />

retiring age 34.<br />

Regular contributor to our letters page,<br />

Marine superfan Barry Lenton, suggests<br />

Peter Smith with 957, while we also had<br />

shouts from Bognor Regis <strong>Town</strong> and<br />

Hampton & Richmond Borough.<br />

The nature of non-league football<br />

means it may be hard to come up with<br />

a definitive answer.<br />

Earlier in the season, we spoke to Terry<br />

Buss (above) at Hanworth Villa as the<br />

one-club man celebrated 800 official<br />

appearances for the step-five outfit –<br />

although he wondered if it was even<br />

more than that.<br />

The 35-year-old keeper made his<br />

debut when he was 16 – illustrating<br />

just how long it takes to rack up these<br />

numbers – and he was eyeing 1,000.<br />

“I’ll go as long as my body lets<br />

me, it’s starting to ache now!” he<br />

told The NLP. “Now that the 800<br />

is up, the magic 1,000 is in sight.<br />

It would be another three or four<br />

years without missing a game but<br />

I’ve not missed many over the last 19<br />

years so, fingers crossed, I can have<br />

a good go.<br />

“My son, Jimmy, is 12, I’m hoping when<br />

he gets to 16 he’s good enough to<br />

come in and take over from me!”<br />

COUNTY<br />

FOUNDATION<br />

NOTTS COUNTY FOUNDATION<br />

LAUNCH COLIN SLATER<br />

COMMUNITY HERO AWARDS<br />

<strong>Notts</strong> <strong>County</strong> Foundation is proud to announce the launch of the<br />

‘Colin Slater Community Hero Awards’ to celebrate outstanding<br />

individuals who have gone above and beyond to support and serve<br />

their communities throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />

As is abundantly obvious, Colin was a<br />

great philanthropist and supported a<br />

number of charities and organisations<br />

across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire<br />

– including a 19-year tenure as a trustee<br />

of <strong>Notts</strong> <strong>County</strong> Foundation. The Colin<br />

Slater Community Hero Awards provide<br />

an opportunity for members of the local<br />

community to nominate individuals who<br />

they feel are deserving of recognition<br />

for their selflessness and positive acts of<br />

kindness.<br />

Sam Crawford, Head of Business<br />

Development at <strong>Notts</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

Foundation, said: “We are absolutely<br />

thrilled to announce the launch of the<br />

Colin Slater Community Hero Awards<br />

scheme. My fond memories of Colin<br />

revolve around his passion to help others<br />

when and wherever possible, often going<br />

out of his way to put smiles on other<br />

people’s faces. Through these awards,<br />

we hope to play a small part in honouring<br />

Colin’s legacy, as well as celebrating<br />

the wonderful people within our local<br />

communities.”<br />

Five community heroes will be selected<br />

and will be offered two complimentary<br />

tickets each to <strong>Notts</strong> <strong>County</strong> Football<br />

Club’s home game against Yeovil <strong>Town</strong><br />

on Saturday 5 March, as well as have the<br />

opportunity to join club legend Les Bradd<br />

on the balcony of the Derek Pavis stand<br />

at half-time.<br />

Tom Walters, Account Director at The<br />

Dairy and Trustee of <strong>Notts</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

Foundation, said: “The Colin Slater<br />

Community Hero Awards are a brilliant<br />

way to not only commemorate Colin<br />

Slater’s compassion and generosity, but to<br />

also recognise the outstanding individuals<br />

in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire that<br />

have made a difference to people’s lives.”<br />

Nominations for the Colin Slater Community Hero Awards are now open, with the<br />

five winners being announced on Monday 28 February. For more information or to<br />

make your nomination, please visit nottscountyfoundation.org.uk/news.<br />

NOTTS<br />

COUNTY<br />

official supporters’<br />

association<br />

We’re looking for more matchday helpers to<br />

assist with our academy fundraising!<br />

As supporters are aware, loss of grant funding means<br />

additional money needs to be raised to provide our<br />

youngsters with the best possible environment to aid<br />

their professional and personal development.<br />

While our owners have given generous backing, the<br />

OSA are committed to supporting our academy and are<br />

working flat out to raise £1200 per month with the help<br />

of our fans.<br />

We’d like to increase this donation but need more<br />

helpers if we’re to do so. We’re looking for someone to<br />

run a Golden Goal for us in the Kop at each match, while<br />

we also need someone to stand in for Vanessa in the<br />

Broken Wheelbarrow to do a scratch card on matchdays<br />

when she has to work. If anyone can help, please email<br />

secretary@ncfcosa.co.uk.<br />

Tickets for our Grand Prize Draw are still on sale. To buy<br />

yours, see John Terrington in hospitality or Loz Clough<br />

at the NCFCOSA office on matchdays. The first prize is a<br />

bathroom suite, the second is for a weekend in London<br />

and there are many more prizes too!<br />
