David McGoldrick, the 35-year-old striker, scored in Notts County's pre-season 5-0 win over Alfreton Town. McGoldrick, who has had a successful career playing for various clubs, demonstrated his experience and skill on the field as he helped lead his team to victory.

McGoldrick's goal was a standout moment of the match, highlighting his ability to find the back of the net even under pressure. His positive attitude and determination are sure to be valuable assets to Notts County as they prepare for the upcoming season. With McGoldrick on their side, the Magpies are poised to be a formidable opponent on the field.

In addition to his impressive performance on the field, McGoldrick brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team. At 35 years old, he has played for various clubs and has a deep understanding of the game. His presence on the team is sure to be beneficial, both on and off the field, as Notts County prepares for the upcoming season. With McGoldrick's experience and skill, the team is well-positioned to be a strong contender in their matches.

In a post-match interview conducted by Notts County, McGoldrick expressed his satisfaction with finally getting a goal. "Good to finally get one," he said. "I hit the bar a few times and had a few chances that just went wide. So yes, good to finally see one go in."

McGoldrick also spoke about his confidence in his ability to score goals. "I never panic," he said. "I know the goals will come. You just got to keep getting in there. We've been scoring in some of the games, and I'm never worried about not scoring in a few games. I believe in my own quality that I'll get the chances and I believe in the way the team plays that it suits me perfectly."

He also described the goal he scored during the match. "Jim [O'Brien] came inside a little tuff with the ball, got away from it, and then it just opened up, and I hit it, and it couldn't hit any sweeter," he said. "As soon as I hit it, I knew it was in. But yeah, good to see it hit the back of the net."

Notts County still has one more pre-season game against Shrewsbury Town before the season officially starts. This will be another opportunity for McGoldrick and his team to showcase their skills and prepare for the upcoming season. The fans are eagerly anticipating the match and are excited to see what their team can achieve.

    it was a superb effort, he had been looking like he would score all game and i am pleased that his effort struck the back of the net because it capped off a perfect performance by david mcgoldrick and notts in general.

    having a player who has an eye for goal like mcgoldrick does, will help hugely with scoring more goals from distance.

    He doesn’t skip much of the action and has a good amount of energy to see out games. I was a little sceptical at first about the signing, but I quickly realised that he brings with him a wealth of experience. I have seen it in the pre-season games I have watched. With the talk of Tobi Adebayo-Rowling, it’s easy to forget what a good footballing brain brings to the team. With David McGoldrick’s experience, the squad has a mentor who can pass on useful encouragement.

    His goal was a very nice effort. I don’t think many would have saved it, and I am pleased that he’s got his first goal in Notts colours, albeit blue. ????

    McGoldrick’s ability to remain calm and composed in high-pressure situations is truly impressive. Instead of allowing missed opportunities to affect his confidence, he maintains a positive attitude and continues to focus on finding the back of the net. This level of mental resilience is admirable and sets a great example for others to follow.

    It is great to see David McGoldrick’s confidence and focus during the game. He knows the game well and has a lot of experience, which will help Notts play better in future games. McGoldrick is strong on the field and stays calm under pressure, showing he is a good player.

    He understands the game and wants to win, which will make us play with more energy. With McGoldrick on the team, Notts can expect to have fun in games.

    Glorious display from McGoldrick in this pre-season win. His dedication and skills are truly commendable. His goal was indeed a standout moment and his interview post-match shows how humble and determined he is. It's not just his performance on the field, it’s also the positivity he brings to the team. I am looking forward to seeing Notts County face Shrewsbury Town.

    I am pleased for David McGoldrick; it will be a natural lift to his goal, even if he doesn’t worry about scoring. He will be thinking about getting another, and it should lift his own morale. I liked the celebration from him, along with Jim O’Brien bowing and kissing David’s boot. The strike was superb, placed perfectly in the top right corner. A keeper would have to be special to even get a hand onto something like that. I also really appreciate McGoldrick’s laid-back attitude; he’s enjoyable to listen to.

    What I like about David McGoldrick is that he’s always talking to the players around him, he’s always smiling too! His homecoming gives us a fairytale type story and on the back of promotion from the National League last season, well it brings optimism with it too. I have enjoyed seeing him so far, I think once the season begins we’ll start to see more of the class he brings. His experience from his days in the Championship and Premier League is going to be a big boost for us.

    I wasn’t at the match but when I saw the video I thought it was a superb goal, I have the feeling we’ll see a few more of those over the coming season and McGoldrick will become a fan favourite. I can hear Rubén’s song adapted to David McGoldrick.

    We are blessed with Langstaff and McGoldrick, surely two of the best strikers in the division.

    We finally have players who are relatable and think about each other. I like David McGoldrick's presence on the pitch because he's a calm head. That influence and experience isn't something you can teach, but his strike is another thing that is natural.
