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 />

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 />

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 />
