No sign of nerves from Tyrese Hall at 21 — 8.10

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Tyrese Hall did not need any: 8.10, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Luke Browne asks to leave Notts County

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

The Notts County board want somebody sold

The instruction has come from upstairs rather than from the dugout, which is the version of this conversation no manager enjoys. Somebody in that squad is now available whether the man who picks the team thinks so or not.

Squad

Tempers go at Notts County

Danny Ward was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Notts County training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jacob Bedeau is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Tyrese Hall

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Notts County find a way past Cheltenham Town

Cheltenham Town made Notts County work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Harald Nilsen Tangen in the eights

A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Matthew Dennis

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Damac come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Notts County did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Luke Browne puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Notts County, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Ollie Norburn in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Notts County this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Scott Robertson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Scott Robertson and Notts County agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tyrese Hall falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Still no ink between Notts County and Jacob Bedeau

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Notts County, another week without a signature from Jacob Bedeau.
