Jodi Jones Targets More Goals and Promotion in a Big Season for Notts County


PON_News

Following the announcement of his new contract extension, Jodi Jones has his sights firmly set on promotion as he prepares for the upcoming campaign with Notts County.

The Malta international winger, who was pivotal last season, believes the squad is now in an even stronger position to challenge at the top of League Two.

“I think we’ve improved in the areas we needed to,” Jones commented. “We’ve added some quality players, and you can see it in the way we’re playing. We’re confident, but the key is not getting carried away too soon.”

Jones, a vital creative force for Notts, is keen to develop his game further by adding more goals to his tally. “I love setting up my teammates, but I need to start scoring more myself,” he said. “That’s something I’ve been working on with the coaches since day one.”

Despite his preference for playing on the right side of the attack, Jones embraced his role on the left wing last season and thrived. However, the winger admits that returning to his natural position could unlock another level of performance. “The right is where I’ve always felt more comfortable,” he explained. “I can go inside, go outside, and get more shots away. But I’ll play wherever the team needs me.”

The contract negotiations took some time, but Jones was never distracted from his main goal of giving his best for the club. “Things sometimes take a while, but I just focused on my football,” he said. “I’ve got big ambitions, and I want to help this team push for promotion.”

Jones also spoke about the importance of consistency in the league, recognising that it’s not about how well the team starts, but how they finish. “It’s about being consistent,” he remarked. “We’ve seen teams finish strong and go up, so our focus is on maintaining that form throughout the season.”

With his future secured and his focus on goals and promotion, Jones is ready to take on the challenges ahead. “Notts County isn’t a League Two club,” he declared. “We’ve got big ambitions, and I want to be part of that journey.”

Jodi is doing just fine doing what he is doing, creating chances for others. 

Any goals that he scores is a bonus for Notts.

It will be fascinating to see what side Stuart chooses. There won't be many changes, but will he choose just one striker & an extra midfielder for an away game?

Jodi's ambition and commitment to Notts County are truly commendable. It's refreshing to see a player so dedicated to the club's success and willing to adapt his game for the team's benefit. His focus on scoring more goals while setting up his teammates will be crucial as we aim for promotion. The squad indeed seems stronger with new quality additions, and if we can maintain our consistency, there’s no limit to what we can achieve this season. Jodi's effort to stay focused amidst contract negotiations shows his professionalism, and it's this kind of mentality that can inspire the whole team. Looking forward to what lies ahead!

Jodi Jones’s attitude is what every Notts County supporter loves to see. His determination to improve his goalscoring and assist his teammates showcases his dedication. The squad looks even more promising this season with the new signings, and it’s exciting to think about what we can achieve. Consistency is vital in League Two, and Jones's comments about finishing strong resonate with all of us. If he continues this form, there’s no doubt we’ll be in contention for promotion. The right wing will certainly bring out the best in him, and I can’t wait to see more of him in action.

Jodi has always been a standout player, and extending his contract is a massive boost for us. His drive to score more goals while keeping up the assists will be crucial in our push for promotion. The team looks stronger with the new players, and Jones’s dedication to consistently perform well throughout the season is encouraging.

We’ve seen clubs lose steam, but having a player like Jodi Jones focused on the long game gives us confidence. It’s fantastic to hear he’s comfortable returning to the right wing, where he seems to thrive the most. Let’s hope this is the year we make our mark!

Exciting times for Notts County with Jodi Jones aiming for more goals and a promotion! His ability to play both wings highlights his versatility, but it's great to hear he’s eager to return to his natural position on the right. Adding more goals to his game while continuing to set up his teammates will make him an even bigger threat. The key will be maintaining consistency, as he rightly points out. Teams that stay strong throughout the season are the ones that go up. His focus and determination are what we need, especially with the new quality additions to the squad. Here’s to a successful season filled with goals and wins.

Couldn't agree more with Jodi’s perspective. It’s not just about a strong start but maintaining form throughout the season. His goal to score more while assisting is exactly what we need. The right wing does seem like his natural habitat, and I'm thrilled he’s back in his favourite spot.

The new signings definitely give us an edge, and it’s promising to hear Jones is optimistic about the squad's strength. His professional approach during contract negotiations shows his commitment. If he’s focused, creative, and scoring, there’s a good chance we’ll see promotion this season. Exciting times ahead for Notts.

Jodi’s focus on scoring more goals can only be positive news for us. He’s already a fantastic player with his assists, and adding more goals will only increase his value. His adaptability during past seasons is impressive, and having him on the right wing again could indeed unlock another level of performance. The new quality added to the squad sets us up for a strong season, and if we can maintain consistency, promotion is certainly within reach. Jodi’s attitude and professional approach, even during contract negotiations, speak volumes.

When Jodi Jones puts his mind to something, he really goes for it. His determination, along with the contract renewal, has him performing solidly. Should we give Stuart Maynard some praise for understanding how to get the best out of Jodi and encouraging him to score more? Jodi will always have assists in him, that’s just his quality, but it’s great to see him scoring.

Jodi Jones' contract extension is fantastic news for Notts. His performances last season were nothing short of spectacular, and it's clear why he became a fan favourite so quickly. His ability to adapt to different positions on the pitch, especially moving from the left to his more natural right wing, has been pivotal. Jones’ versatility gives the team a lot of options and makes our attack more dynamic. I'm particularly pleased with his willingness to improve and develop his game, especially focusing on scoring more goals. It’s great to see a player so dedicated.

See, this is about Jodi Jones. He always strives to be better, he's not content with what he does, and it's this drive that pushes him. He says that he wants to get more goals, then goes and scores twice! He's a brilliant talent, a player that wants to do well for the club and has a mission which is to focus on helping us secure a finish in the top half. It's not just said for the sake of it, Jodi means it.
