He sounds almost as excited as I am for the forthcoming season, I can’t wait to see what he can bring to the team apart from his goals. He sounds like he’s fit and prepared after a good pre season and still looking to learn from Williams even though he’s an experienced pro.

I was thoroughly impressed with his level of fitness, which was clearly evident even during the match against Forest. His quality shone through. I am convinced that David McGoldrick and Jim O’Brien will be two of the key players this season. Their experience and leadership will be invaluable to the team. The way the squad is coming together and working hard as a unit is truly remarkable. McGoldrick, in particular, is a class act. I must admit, I had my doubts, but he has proven me wrong.

David McGoldrick will be an essential player in our quest to achieve back-to-back promotions. While some fans may prefer to take things one step at a time, it is important that we have faith in the abilities of this squad. Luke Williams, in particular, is a real driving force behind the team’s success. It is heartening to see experienced players such as McGoldrick and O’Brien thriving under his guidance.

Watching the training videos released by the club, it is clear that the team is focused and determined, yet still able to enjoy themselves and have a good time. Maintaining this balance between focus and enjoyment is crucial for success on the pitch. The smiles and laughter evident in these videos are a testament to the positive morale within the team, which can only serve to benefit us in our pursuit of success.

You can sense McGoldrick's sincere commitment to the team and sport in his comments. His willingness to continuously learn even at this stage of his career is both surprising and admirable. It's not about just the physical work and scoring goals, but also about enhancing the mind and technical abilities. His focus on passing, for instance, will undoubtedly boost the quality of the team's play over the season. It’s the mark of a true pro!

It's good to see a seasoned player like McGoldrick reiterating the importance of hard work and fitness. He seems to genuinely understand the responsibility he has towards the younger players and is keen to set a good example. His comment about being in the wrong game if you don't enjoy the hard work is absolutely spot-on. All the best to McGoldrick and the whole team for the upcoming season.

Luke Williams has received high praise, particularly noteworthy given the calibre of people David McGoldrick has worked with over the years. McGoldrick is a sensible and level-headed individual who speaks eloquently. These are exciting times! With Notts County back in the EFL and the ever-enthusiastic McGoldrick leading from the front, a good season lies ahead. His focus on hard work, fitness, and learning embodies the true spirit of football.
