New Signing Jacob Bedeau Thrilled to Be Part of Notts County's Journey

he looks like a great addition to the team, really calm headed and good on the ball. very organised and quick to get back to defending. i thought he worked very well with louis macari and matt platt, its good to see the defence having that level of understanding of each other. its early days but this is one of the most promising parts.

What a promising debut by Jacob Bedeau! His solid performance in ensuring a clean sheet in a tough away game is exactly what Notts County needed. His versatility was evident when he shifted positions effortlessly, maintaining the team's defensive strength. Bedeau's post-match reflections underscore his understanding of the club's defensive issues from last season and his commitment to turn things around. His emphasis on both patient build-up play and necessary clearances shows a balanced approach to the game. If this first match is any indicator, Bedeau could be a vital part of our defence and contribute significantly to a successful season. Well done, Jacob

Jacob Bedeau had a commendable start to his Notts County career with a clean sheet against Tranmere Rovers. His defensive prowess was very much on display, showcasing his ability to adapt mid-game and fill different roles effectively. Bedeau's analysis of the match and his focus on both possession play and necessary clearances is reassuring.

It's clear he is aware of the defensive challenges from last season and is determined to turn things around. His composed and confident approach, alongside Matty Platt and Lewis Macari, provided a strong defensive front. This positive start sets the tone for what could be a very successful season.

Really thrilled to see Jacob Bedeau making such a positive impact right from his first match. It's never easy to adapt to a new team, especially in the cauldron of League Two football, but Bedeau showed he's more than up for the challenge. Keeping Tranmere Rovers at bay and securing a point at Prenton Park is not an easy task. His calmness and versatility, shifting between positions and maintaining the defensive solidity, were impressive. His comments about the team's philosophy and settling into the game reflect a good understanding and alignment with the manager's vision. Looking forward to seeing more clean sheets and solid performances!

It sounds like he’s settling in well and knows what is needed if Notts are going to be successful defensively. 
 

I particularly like this quote.

“When the ball does have to go over the stand or into the crowd, it has to be done.”

Really pleased with Bedeau's performance. The team looked solid and composed, especially after the tactical switch.

I think that Jacob Bedeau is a brilliant signing for Notts & I believe he can be a very important part of our defence this season.

The early impressions of him in the Notts County black and white are very good 

He looks very calm on the ball and that has been something that has been lacking last season.

I hope that he can forge a great defensive partnership with Macari & Platt. If that can happen, and what we have already seen is encouraging, Notts will be very stingy at the back this season.

The fact that he will be able to cover as left wing back is big as well because it gives Notts options at the back especially if someone has to go off either tactically or through injury.

Exciting times ahead for Notts.

Jacob Bedeau’s debut for Notts County was impressive. His calmness and leadership in defence, alongside Matty Platt and Lewis Macari, helped secure a point at Tranmere Rovers. His commitment to the club’s vision is encouraging.

I'm particularly pleased to hear Bedeau's take on blending both possession play and more direct clearances when necessary. Last season, we struggled with balance, and his insight suggests we might finally strike it right this time. The gaffer's mid-game tactical adjustments also seemed to bring out the best in the squad, further enhancing our chances as we moved higher up the pitch. All in all, I'm hopeful and excited to see how the season unfolds with Bedeau and the rest of the new signings settling in so well.

Great to see a strong defensive start! Bedeau's confidence and adaptability will definitely help us improve from last season.

From what I have read and seen, he had a great debut. Looking at pictures of him and the highlights, he seems very solid and comfortable on the ball. It would have been good to see him, as well as the game against Tranmere. I like that he praises his teammates and respects us fans. We need to handle the ball the way he has talked about. It makes little sense to play ourselves into trouble by insisting it stays on the ground or must be passed.

He’ll be League Two’s Vincent Kompany at this rate. He had a great debut. For me, he would have been my Man of the Match. I thought he worked hard, kept his head down and focused, moved the ball well, and looked to get involved where possible. His presence was very determined. I agree he did right by clearing the ball out and also by acknowledging his teammates.

Great debut, very calm on the ball and eager to get involved. He did well defending and attacking. I think Jacob Bedeau could become the signing of the season. It’s early days, but I feel confident making this statement. I hope he continues as he started.

His and the other players defending was superb, much more controlled and calm compared to last season. I think we might make the right decision bringing in defenders as the main priority ahead of this campaign. Looking at the Tranmere Rovers game, I think, it was very promising with the way we handled the game. Tranmere being a tall, physical side, they were always going to make us work for anything.

A point is a good start to the season, it gives us a solid platform to move into the weekend's game on Sunday pushing to go one better.
