Thank you, Señor Fred, for stepping in last week. I went to Frankfurt to run my 11th Frankfurt Marathon, and I must have lost all track of the days.

Well, back to Saturday and onwards to Field Mill. Are Notts slowly getting to grips with the division? I heard Smyth had a good game against the Hatters, and Kanu is slowly getting into shape too.

One of the main differences Robertson said re this league is the physicality and I know for a couple of seasons now, Mansfield have been a strong physical team.

I'd take a draw now; a win would be quite an achievement, but I am going for 1-1.

By the way, Señor Fred...what are our own league standings on the predicted scores?

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRR
