we just took our feet of the pedal against colchester especially in the second half, i would hope we try to not rely on the defence to cut out the mistakes we played ourselves into because tranmere will be more of a threat i feel. i can see it ending as another draw, unless we are brighter on goal and more creative. i would like to see mai traore start, i think bringing him off from the bench does not help him to get his speed up. we could replace him later on if needed, but match fitness will come with game time.

its a bit of a concern when we have so many out during a key stage but i hope we can manage. david mcgoldrick is a big miss, i am pleased jodi jones is not serious. we could do with scott robertson, but hes out pretty much for the rest of the season and i think we do miss lewis macari.

You could certainly have a laugh and joke with Granny Pie. I was never much on the other side of her comments, but I agree she's a big loss and came across as a lovely woman. And while we take the time to remember her, it's so nice to see many of her grandchildren and family as members, even if some do not post. We also have Super Ram, which is a blessing nonetheless. I send my thoughts to all the family.

Luke Williams played a major role in his downfall at Swansea City. While some Notts fans might feel he's been treated unfairly, criticising the players publicly and failing to replace some of the bigger influences in the dressing room, and then stating that you avoid them on match days, only leads in one direction. I wonder if Richard Montague knew, when he took on his role, that one of his first major decisions would be to sack Williams? I thank both for what they have done for our club, but both apparently felt they were bigger, and when the first opportunity came to leave, they did. I understand football and know there is little loyalty, but I think we can say Williams never seemed to get a grip on any defensive issues. A lot of what Stuart Maynard needed to address came as a result of how Williams set Notts up. The decisions to extend the contracts of players who perhaps should have been let go sooner, and the failures we have had in recruitment, might mean that whoever takes over from Montague is a blessing. I don't wish any manager to be sacked, and I hold no hard feelings towards either Williams or Montague, but I feel they have made poor decisions that led to this. If Montague thinks he can survive at a club that clearly has no idea, it won't be long before he's a casualty of this game.

I don't worry about football finances. I think the Reedtz have a good understanding of what it takes to get us up the leagues, and provided we maintain control over the money going out and the debt, I personally think we'll be better off than a lot of other clubs that are considered bigger and richer. The thought of us being able to profit from departing players is only part of the good signs.

Personally, I don't think Joe Palmer does all that much that is publicly known. He seems quite happy in the background, and I would prefer a bit more transparency and open dialogue from him. I don't mean in terms of squashing rumours, but just general insights, which is why I miss the communication that Jason Turner used to provide. I hate how the club does things when they want the fans on their side, but the moment attendances are up and things seem rosy, you might not realise just how much the CEO role benefits the club when they are acknowledging fans with their work.

Remembering Granny Pie always fills me with a mix of sadness and fondness. Her contributions to the community were immense, and she had a unique way of making everyone feel welcome. When I think of her, I can't help but smile at the memories of her joking about her walking sticks. Her legacy goes beyond players and staff; she holds a special place in our hearts. Her impact on us and the joy she brought will never be forgotten. She was truly a wonderful lady who is deeply missed. Just reading through the comments is enough to remind us of this.

I thought we should have beaten them earlier in the season despite the close contest. I would feel disappointed if we repeated Tuesday night by putting on an unimpressive display and ending up with a draw. I would like to see us take control, including taking the lead and defending far better than we did against Colchester United. We need to show more urgency in finishing chances that are created and in good scoring opportunities. I wouldn't begrudge a gamble on goal rather than relying on trying to walk the ball into the net. When it works, it's great to watch, but our inability to create chances from a distance is something we need to overcome. If we fight and play well, that is all I can ask, and the outcome largely depends on that. Losing would be disappointing, as would drawing, but compared to playing unconvincingly, you have to accept that. I do feel we are hyping ourselves up, with a large amount of pressure only to allow it to affect our performance on the pitch. I would rather do the talking on it, instead of off.

EFL teams often scout Scottish and Irish players, while Premier League clubs tend to poach from the EFL and the best players from all UK leagues. Walsall appears to be benefiting from its ownership, but there are some hidden talents that wouldn't be discovered if lower clubs didn't recruit from the Irish leagues. You don't see much success the other way around, with clubs signing from League Two, except for a few cases.

Both players are very good, but we will never know who is better. It's all down to opinions, and there isn't one right answer. I personally enjoy watching them both, especially during their prime. However, I don't think I can choose who is better based on their time in the Spanish leagues. It would have been interesting to see them compete more closely for a longer period, though.
