so Macca's gone, I feel a little wounded by the lost.

 

Yes he's been a great servant to the club; but unpopular opinion; Notts was the only club to give him a chance when he tumbled down the leagues; and despite that he's trotted off to a higher level team where, realistically there's a high chance of him warming the Millwall bench; I'm disappointed as a fan in the lack of loyalty shown despite the faith put in him.

 

Also feeling sorry for Stu given hes just strengthened his defence and now he's had his most potent attacker leave a few days after giving him the captaincy...

 

that said, Super hopeful in big Cedwyn & Jatta to deliver a lethal attack and get us to where we belong!

 

Yes Macca has gone, and it's now back to the future now for Notts.

I'm sorry he's gone but Notts  have an attacking team of Jatta, Scott, Didzy & Morias.

We have great attacking midfielders in Crowley & Jones who make and score goals.

We have an improved defence , a new goalkeeper and a squad taking shape that can challenge for promotion.

Just a few more incomings will complete the good work that has been done in the close season.

Now it's time to get behind Stuart and the team and roar is back to League 0ne.

EXACTLY, still a V strong team going into the new season, I suppose as well; the other league 2 teams already had his number, he spent most games at the end getting man-marked to the point of being unable to touch the ball. time will tell how the move affects the team but I'm still disappointed in the lack of loyalty of late in our high-flyers

 

I’d be taken aback if Millwall signed him just to have him on their bench, as they’re in need of a player who can score goals. All they need to do is figure out how to bring out the best in him. For us, he was a prolific scorer, and we knew exactly how to get him into positions where he could score. We shouldn’t underestimate Macaulay Langstaff’s value; he should have a few successful seasons with them. While I doubt he’ll play at a higher level, he could become a hero for them, just as he was for us.

Unfortunately, I have completely no confidence in Morias, @Robbie

I hope I can be proved wrong

Millwall have a very good reputation for bringing strikers in from lower leagues who gone on to do well for them. It's a great place for him to go in my opinion.

Seemed a bit inevitable in the end. Still early in pre-season though, and allows us to identify a replacement if there is to be one. 

Incredible two years from Macca in the black and white and will always be fondly remembered. You have to be a good player to get that goal return, no matter the chances created, you have to be in the correct position and apply the finish. Will be interesting to see how he gets along at Millwall, who are not exactly renowned for creating many opportunities. 

Seems a bit daft to make him captain and apparently p*ss of Cameron, for him to be leaving a couple of weeks later. Who's the new captain then? Matty Palmer - seems a bit on the quiet side. 

I wish him the best of luck. We’re accustomed to players leaving and appearing on the retained list, often without any financial gain. While the fee may not seem impressive, it’s a good move for Macaulay Langstaff.

So who will be the captain?

Start a thread on it mate

It’s unfortunate to see him leave, but on the bright side, it opens up a spot for someone new. If we rally behind the current players, who knows what could happen? Even the top clubs lose their key players sometimes. While we might have secured a better deal if we had waited, we can’t deny a loyal servant the opportunity to play in the championship before his career peaks.

it looked like it was more true the way articles were being released, but i had hoped it was wrong. we have to find a way to strengthen and pick ourselves up. its sad to see him go, but we have the goals he scored and the moments we have overcome from being a club on the verge of destruction to a promotion hopeful.

one player does not change this, but macca will always be a god at meadow lane.

Had someone told me when we signed Macaulay Langstaff that he would rewrite parts of Notts’ history and aid us in our promotion back to the Football League, I would have been thrilled. Competing against some of the world’s top strikers in terms of goals per season, and then repeating that feat the following season to score over 20 goals, is no small achievement. I would gladly relive that journey and cherish every moment.

While it’s disheartening to see Langstaff leave, we knew this day would eventually come. His departure leaves us in a strong position, with additional funds at our disposal and a host of excellent options to fill his shoes.

There’s no need for panic or haste in signing a new striker. We can take our time to ensure we bring in another solid recruit who will continue to uphold the high standards set by Langstaff.

We had good times with him. His departure was always going to happen, and I wished we could have kept him. He has done enough to deserve a move, and most fans should be thankful.
