The Nottingham Evening News published the last contract extension for Notts County: Franck Ribery has completed a contract extension and the French winger will continue to play for Notts County for the next four years.

At this point, all the first-team players of Notts County have completed the contract renewal and are ready to sail!

A lot of the media and other clubs that had been waiting to see the Notts County joke before were dumbfounded.

Didn't you say that you were going to fall apart?

Why did you renew all the contracts after a while?

Have you all taken Notts County Ecstasy?

Why don't you know how to fight for your own benefit?

With your current value, you have to be treated at the level of the Premier League!

You've all renewed your contracts, what other jokes do we have to watch?

I really don't know how to entertain the public!

But no matter how unscrupulous media complain, it has become a fait accompli, and they can only say that they hope that Notts County can continue to do so, and that's it.

Because this group of players in Notts County has been coveted by many clubs for a long time, and even many clubs have offered high salaries.

Now that Notts County can renew all of their contracts, the contract offered by the club to the players is definitely not a small number.

If you think of the previous treatment of Notts County is already the top in League One, then if there is another increase, I am afraid it will already be in the middle of the Premier League!

A League One club dares to offer players the salary of the middle of the Premier League, and there is no one with this tyrant temperament!

Not to mention League One clubs, even Premier League clubs can only sulk secretly.

No way, Notts County is more rich than themselves, what can they do!

Who made the chairman of the family willing to throw money into it!

See how much Notts County earns in a season?

I'm afraid it's not enough to pay Alonso alone!

Putting their worries aside, Notts County continued to travel light.

In the second leg of the first round of the UEFA Cup at home to CSKA Sofia, Notts County sent a squad that still has no main players and substitutes, and is completely based on the physical condition of the players, plus the four players in the academy.

Although the opponent wanted to turn the tables away and really played a wonderful game, once exerting their strength to suppress Notts County, and also scored two goals, but the hole they dug for themselves in the first leg at home was too big to fill at all.

So even though Notts County lost the game, they still advanced to the next round with a score of 4:2 over two legs.

And the day after the first round of the League Cup, the draw for the second round of the League Cup also ended.

It was very bad luck for Notts County, and it could even be said that it was a very bad draw.

Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic.

That's what Notts County will do against in the second round of the League Cup.

If David remembers correctly, Celtic made it all the way to the final of the UEFA Cup this season, only to lose to Jose Mourinho's Porto in the last minute and settle for second place.

This is definitely an opponent that is not easy to deal with, and even more terrifying than some of the best teams in the big five leagues.

The only good news is that Notts County have the advantage of fixtures and they have to play away first and then at home.

However, there is plenty of time to prepare for the UEFA Cup, as the first leg of the second round will not start until November, which is a full month in between, and Notts County can get to work well in advance.

Turning our attention back to England soil, the upcoming League Cup can be strategically abandoned in anticipation of a string of League One matches in October.

It was a decision made by the club at the start of the league and although they made it through the first round thanks to a reserve squad and a few young players who had skipped the relegations, they were only against lower-tier teams.

Now the opponents in the second round cannot be underestimated, although Bolton is a famous elevator in the Premier League, but they can show their strength frequently in the Premier League and even gain a foothold.

There is really no need to fight Bolton Wanderers in the League Cup, if this is the semi-final, then it can still be considered, but this is only the second round of the League Cup!

Therefore, in this League Cup, Notts County still sent a reserve team with no future and four players who skipped the relegation, in fact, the League Cup has become a place for four players to practice, and the reserve team is completely a soy sauce existence.

Unsurprisingly, Bolton Wanderers beat Notts County at home to advance to the next round of the League Cup.

The result was not unexpected, and Notts County did not feel a bit of frustration from top to bottom, and even felt that this game was very meaningful, because the four members of the youth team are getting better and better in the senior team, and they can make it to the first team after training.

That's the biggest takeaway from the League Cup.

Notts County have just five League One games to play in the whole of October after the Carabao Cup, and although an average of one game is played in less than a week, the pace of the game is no different from the usual double games a week.

If these five rounds of the league can be successfully passed by Notts County and accumulate more points advantage, then Notts County will have a greater certainty of transferring their energy to the League Cup, and even have enough energy, and even consider the FA Cup that has not yet started, which is also an honor that Notts County has not touched for more than a hundred years, and if they can win the FA Cup again, the fans will be very happy.

So, deciding whether or not Notts County want to work hard in the FA Cup will depend entirely on the results of these five league games.

Without any worries, the invincible battleship of Notts County set sail.

On 5 October, Notts County hosted Crystal Palace, with Villa scoring twice to help the team win comfortably.

On 14 October, Notts County continued to play at home against Wolves, sending their opponents home with goals from strikers Villa and Di Natale.

On 21 October, Notts County moved away to Sheffield United, and although the opponents played tenaciously, Ribery made a last-minute one-on-one effort on the flank to win all three points from the road.

Alonso is still injured, and the disorganization and disorganization of this game under the pressure of the opponent are once again highlighted, and if it is not for the individual ability of the players, I am afraid that Notts County will lose points away from home.

On 26 October, Notts County challenged Rotherham United, but the strength of the opponent could not pose much threat to Notts County, and Notts County won away from home.

On 31 October, Notts County returned home to Watford for the final game of the Big Five.

Although the opposition hoped to challenge the majesty of the league leaders and raise the banner of attack on the road, they were crushed by Notts County's sharp counter-attack and finally returned with a heavy defeat.

So far, Notts County have won five in a row in October and are unbeaten in the league this season, while already throwing second-placed Portsmouth 15 points off in the table. (To be continued.) )
