Good news that set the mood ahead of the fans' forum.

I didn't attend, I haven't watched it, but I have seen comments about Jodi Jones, and at this stage I have moved on. There are always two sides, then the truth. Both parties will have their points, and now he plays for Bromley. I think some fans should just focus on the players who are here; Jodi's time won't be forgotten.

The positive thing is the fact that we are in League One and fighting to establish ourselves, and the good news that Martin Paterson has extended his stay.

We don't need to go into whether he will be here by the end of the season or the campaign after that; the contract will ensure we get compensation if he were to leave. Until something comes up, focus on each game as it comes. It's good news which shouldn't be overlooked by speculation when nothing has even been hinted at.

Paterson arrived at Meadow Lane with the desire and attitude to win us over; he guided our lads to promotion and one of the club's best performances at Wembley Stadium. A contact extension is brilliant news, but the focus for us must be on picking up points and establishing ourselves. A lot of credit to our gaffer for his hard work, but we have more to do.

I was never overly worried that Martin Patterson would leave, I think a Championship club would consider him a bit of a gamble, especially one like Burnley who basically want to go back into the Prem as quick as possible. That said the new contract is completely deserved and I hope he's here until 2029, and who knows maybe even beyond that!

I know he doesn't show it but I think Martin is very happy here and I feel like he fits here perfectly too. Notts, because of the set-up, just let him focus on coaching. He mentioned at the fans forum that recruitment isn't what he considers a strength of his, he just wants to coach and improve the players. He's done a great job so far and with him at the helm I think we'll be able to make that gradual improvement year on year.
