27 days out for Maï Traoré after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Notts County will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

No end in sight to Notts County's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Notts County has to find a result from somewhere.

Notts County rebuffed over Joe Buršík
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Portsmouth have kept their man, and Notts County go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Notts County and Harry Clifton are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The view from the dugout
“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Samuel Bell chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

Jodi Jones runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Match No goals between Notts County and Bristol Rovers
- Looking ahead Lee Ndlovu goes back to face Barnet
- Squad Leon Robinson still has not settled
