Jim O’Brien’s hat-trick secures thrilling Notts County win away against Maidstone United

jim deserves it, hes been excellent for the most part of the season and always comes into the squad wanting to get the best out of it. i do not know why a small minority would be idiots towards such a player that has given us this amount of loyal service. i personally think they just want to moan and get rid of any connection to the team that got relegated from the football league which seems unfair.

the result was a good one, very pleased by it and their pitch looked shocking.

Jim is a truly classy player. Despite his comments about being referred to as ‘experienced’, he remains one of the most motivational players Notts has. He deserves nothing but respect for his contributions to the team.

Just a joy to see the players expressing them, despite what looked like an absoultely awful pitch. I praise Luke Williams for provoking this reaction from the team and, I encourage all of them to continue this. Winning 5-2 is awesome, but we have 2 very big games coming, we must make it a 3rd and win at Wembley.

It was great to see Jim bag a hat-trick in the game. His experience and skill on the field are truly something to behold. He’s a real leader on the squad and his influence is undeniable. It’s interesting to compare him to Michael Doyle, who was vastly over-appreciated in my opinion. For some reason, Jim doesn’t seem to get the same level of recognition despite being a much better player. It just goes to show how subjective these things can be.

Jimmy in the middle, what a superb result! Great job by the team.
