It’s hard to read some of the things being said about the Reedtz brothers, especially after everything the club has been through. We’ve had so many setbacks and disappointments over the years, and now we’re finally in a place that feels hopeful. Even though the season didn’t start well, I’ve always believed the squad has real quality. The players care, and you can see that in how they play and how they carry themselves. It’s not just about talent, it’s about heart, and I think we’ve got that. What matters most is that the club is in the hands of people who understand football. They might not always get every decision right, or know the perfect route to success, but their commitment to making things better is clear. I believe their long-term plan will pay off. I find it frustrating when people call for them to leave just because we’re not climbing the leagues fast enough. We’re not owed anything, we have to work for it, together. Progress takes time, and I’d rather build something strong than chase quick fixes.

Matt Dennis is starting to look like a proper poacher. The way he took his chance showed a lot of confidence and composure. That was not an easy finish, but he made it look straightforward. Alassana Jatta played a big part too, and for his first start he showed strength and pace that gave Fleetwood defenders real problems. It is a shame he went off, but he left a positive impression. We might have scored a second if he had stayed on. Defensively, we were solid overall. Roos kept us in it during the first half, and the back three stuck to their task well in the second. It was not pretty at times, but a good win.

We knew it would be tough. Morecambe did well, and I accept the point. These games will make us stronger. As people keep saying, it would have been a game last season that we might have lost. Notts just needs to work harder in these difficult games to ensure we are more involved and quicker to figure out how to make chances. It’s a decent draw against a good team. I think some naturally thought because Morecambe are bottom, we should have steamrolled them.

An overall frustrating game with some bright moments. We were slow off the blocks, allowing Morecambe to take an early lead which set the tone for the first half. The second half saw some positives with Platt's goal and a few close chances. McGoldrick and Crowley worked hard but lacked the final touch. Morecambe deserves credit for their defensive efforts, but we seriously need to be sharper upfront and avoid these scrappy matches. This draw feels like a missed opportunity for us. Let’s turn these lessons into wins.

its a little disappointing that it took us so long to get to grips with the game, but morecambe do deserve credit. they made it hard, but we made it harder on ourselves. i think we really need to work on moving the ball forward, where supporting players try to make space. we play far better with the ball on the ground until in a position where a cross can come in.

Bedeau’s been solid at the back so far. Looking forward to seeing him against his old club, always adds a bit more to the match!

i do think the club is making notts somewhere good players want to be, we seem less of a stepping stone or retirement home and more somewhere players can get their chances to impress. jacob bedeau looks a very good capture already.

Aye, I’ve seen it all in me time. Clubs brought to their knees by folk who shouldn’t be let near a ledger. Money frittered away on daft things, while the basics get ignored. It’s no good having fancy ideas if you’ve not sorted the roof and the pitch first. That’s how clubs end up gasping for breath, near enough dead. Notts has always looked like it ought to be doing better. Big name, proud colours, but never quite showing what it’s made of. I don’t know much about your old owners, but I do remember reading about trouble with the tax man more than once. That sort of thing sticks in the mind. It’s a warning sign, that is. We all want to see our team go up, don’t we? But it’s no good chasing glory if it means losing your soul. You’ve got to build steady. A club’s not just about the league table, it’s about the folk who stand by it, rain or shine. Your ground’s a proper one. Got character. Looks like it belongs in the Championship, easy. Putting money into things off the pitch, training, youth, the community, that’s what lasts. That’s what keeps a club strong when the goals dry up. Fans make the club. Without ‘em, it’s just bricks and turf. And if the fans don’t care, it’s no better than watching telly and shouting at the screen. You need folk who turn up, who sing, who moan, who love it deep down. That’s what keeps it alive. Seems to me your owners now have their heads screwed on. Making smart choices, not chasing daft dreams. That’s how you get the right players in, not just names, but lads who want to fight for the badge. You’re building something now, and that’s worth more than a lucky season. All the best to you, Pie fans. Keep the faith.

We have some of the best squads under the Reedtz era than most of the ones I grew up watching, memories and talented players. All something that wouldn't happen without them investing and changing our fortunes. I understand that everyone wants a promotion, but it should not come at the cost of blaming the best hands we have had in years, no matter how grim things can be at times. A lot of the issues some fans have is that they can't wait, but when we are not ready for promotion, it can come back to haunt us. I would rather show some patience and understanding that not everything will be perfect, while understanding that there is a system in place and the owners are ambitious. The Reedtz want Notts to be around in the future and don't want to risk that by investing poorly, and when the time is right, some of these people against the Reedtz might just realise how good we have it.

Alassana Jatta could’ve gone for goal himself, but choosing to pass to Matthew Dennis showed real team spirit. It was a selfless move that speaks volumes about his attitude and how much he cares about the club and his team-mates. Tom Iorpenda had a strong game going forward. He found space well and helped drive the attack. The team put in a solid shift overall, even though the scoreline was tight. Both sides had chances, and while it wasn’t the most polished match, Notts handled it well and got the job done. It’s frustrating how some fans only seem to focus on the negatives. There’s no balance in their views, just fault-finding and moaning. The players deserve credit for their effort and the way they managed the game.

The match had a bit of everything. Early pressure from Fleetwood, some big saves from Roos, and a goal that came at just the right time. Dennis has really stepped up this season and took his chance with real composure. I also liked the way Jatta fitted in. He was physical, linked play and almost scored himself. That partnership with Dennis could be interesting going forward. The defence had to stand strong, and the midfield worked hard to break up play. There were still too many fouls for my liking, but at least we were competitive. Fleetwood had their moments, but we kept our shape. A clean sheet and three points makes it a good day overall.

The club's approach to recruitment is good, it helps Maynard. He doesn’t just sign players for the sake of it, he looks for the right fit. Traoré and Jatta offering different threats is exactly what we need, especially when teams sit deep. Also, great to see Whittaker getting some recognition, he’s got a smart football brain. Defence has been a concern with injuries, but McDonald stepping up has been huge. Really positive vibes around the club right now.

Barrow gave us a proper challenge, especially in the first half. They pressed well and took their chance, which meant we were on the back foot for a while. However, I thought we grew into the game, and by the second half, we looked more like ourselves. The equaliser was deserved, and we had some good chances after that. It’s disappointing not to have grabbed a winner, but a draw was probably fair given the balance of play. Crowley’s influence was clear again, and it’s good to see Jatta making an impact too. A solid point in the end, and we’ll need to keep building from here.

It wasn't a very good start to the match by Notts and they were hampered by further injuries to more key players. But to his credit, Stuart changed things & Notts got better after that early concession, & grew into the game especially in the second half. The players showed their fighting spirit once more to get a result out of the match in the end. I thought that Tsaroulla had an excellent game, so did McGoldrick, & Bass was solid in goal once again. I think Martin & Brown had their best games since joining Notts too. The growing injury list is a concern, & hopefully we will see some of those injured come back against Harrogate on Saturday.

This side is Stuart Maynard's side & the side that he has built is proving very adaptable in changing styles and tactics if it is necessary. In the first half we saw the Notts County flair, in the second half we saw character, stubboness & grit to keep Carlisle out. Stuart has to take great credit in installing all these traits into the Notts team. He must be absolutely delighted with his players, & the owners must be delighted with him too

I think that Morecambe have to have a lot of credit for executing their game plan perfectly on the day. They got the early goal then just frustrated Notts, broke up the play & tried to protect their lead & then hit on the break. Their physically really bothered Notts, but to Notts's credit they kept plugging away & the Notts defence stood firm after the early concession. In the second half Stuart's substitutions gave Notts extra impetuous & a touch of class from Crowley with a great pass got Austin in behind them & Platt scored a poachers goal. Notts are made of sterner stuff this season & a defender scoring for them, then in the dying minutes a points saving clearance off the line by Didzy, demonstrates the character of this team to never give up. Notts weren't at their best, but they still managed to get a positive result against a team that played very well, considering their league position.

Bedeau’s attitude is exactly what we need. He recognises the importance of facing his former club but keeps the focus on getting the result for Notts. I like how he speaks about staying switched on during possession, that’s something we’ve struggled with at times, especially against teams like Gillingham where we had all the ball but still came away with nothing. His experience at Morecambe in League One will definitely help us this season, and his calmness under pressure could be key in tight games. Really glad we signed him.

Love how he’s already showing leadership at 24. He’s been one of the best signings this season, no question.

The Reedtz brothers have clearly brought stability and direction, but football will always stir emotion that data cannot fully capture. Supporters judge things on atmosphere, results, and how the team makes them feel on a Saturday. You can understand why some fans get frustrated when they hear business-like answers that sound detached. At the same time, it’s worth remembering the state of the club before their arrival. We have structure, ambition, and a clear path forward. The challenge is bridging the gap between calculated planning and the raw emotion that defines the game for so many.

What stood out most for me was the discipline after going 1-0 up. Too many times in the past we have let teams back in by switching off, but every player stayed switched on. Fleetwood had some dangerous players coming off the bench, yet they never really opened us up. That’s the difference a collective effort makes. I liked how Jacob Bedeau pointed out it’s not just the defence, it’s the whole team working hard. When everyone puts a shift in, we look difficult to beat. A clean sheet gives us confidence going into the next set of games, and it proves we can grind results out when the football isn’t flowing. That is vital over a long season.

The pitch definitely played its part in the game. You could see it was hard to get the ball down and play the usual way, but instead of forcing it we played to the conditions. Going longer into Jatta and Dennis worked, and both of them caused problems all game. It is also good to see the gaffer keep calm at half-time, as Bedeau mentioned. That calmness is spreading to the players. Nobody panicked when Fleetwood pressed, and it feels like the side is learning to manage games properly. Four unbeaten is no accident.

Notts played really well against Fleetwood. They were good at going forward and also strong at the back. I like how the club didn’t blame the pitch, even though they said it did make things harder. Most of the time, I thought Notts were the better side. Fleetwood did push near the end, and it felt a bit like how Notts play sometimes. It was a fun match to watch, with two good teams giving it their all.

Dennis’ goals are becoming a real asset. He showed great movement for the first and the header for the second was just as good. What’s disappointing is how we let Bromley back into it. At 2–1 we should have been tighter defensively, instead we gave away silly fouls and invited pressure due to the timing of the substitutes. The free-kick for their second was soft, but we still could have defended the second half better. Matches like this are the fine margins in League Two. You can see Paterson is building a team with goals in it, but we need more resilience at the back to turn good performances into wins.

The match showed how clinical Matt Dennis can be, but it also highlighted where we need more composure. We controlled possession for long spells yet didn’t test their keeper often enough. The late goal was unfortunate, but if we had created more in the second half we’d have been out of sight.

Can’t lie, I was worried when Dizzy and Bass left, but this article helps explain the reasoning behind it. The honesty around Bass’s sale, in particular, is appreciated, they didn’t want to sell, but the timing and offer were right. Kelle Roos looks a good replacement on paper. As for McGoldrick, you just can’t replace that level in League Two, so fair play to them for spreading the load across a few new signings and giving Jodi a more advanced role. Hope it pays off.

I’ve supported Notts County long enough to know I can’t just follow how I feel. I have to think with my heart but also use my head. The new technical board is the bright side I’m focusing on. There’s no point getting too upset that another unknown has been picked. It’s fine to be disappointed, but still back the club. If you can’t do that, it makes you wonder why you support any team at all. You’ve got to stick with them through ups and downs. We need to keep our priorities clear. Everyone coming in deserves a fair go.

After reading the Notts write up on the new appointment, I am now very encouraged by the changes the Reedtz brothers have made to the coaching structure now under the appointment of Martin as Head Coach. I wish him lots of luck in his new role. I'm absolutely delighted that Sam Slocombe has been appointed First Team Coach. He will give lots of support to the HC & will be a bridge between the players & Martin. And the appointment of Andy Edwards as Assistant Head Coach is a good appointment. The Coaching staff will join our Director of Football, Director of Performance & the Reedtz brothers in a new Technical board to discuss strategy, tactics, player performance & results. I am excited about the new roles appointed & the new coaching organisation. I think that it will be very helpful to get success for Notts. The other thing is that Martin's teams are hard working & hard to play against, & well organised, something I wanted to see. I hope the Notts fans get behind him and our new coaching staff.

Sam Slocombe joining the coaching staff is a great move. He’s got the respect of the players and clearly loves the club. Seeing him move from the pitch into a coaching role keeps continuity, which is often overlooked in rebuilds. Plus, he’s already shown coaching potential when filling in last season. Excited to see what he can bring in a full-time capacity now.

Edwards is a really smart addition. His work with England youth setups means he’s got an eye for talent and development. That could help us massively with bringing through younger players and building a squad with long-term potential. Also good to have someone with experience of pressure situations at Leyton Orient. He won’t be fazed by the EFL grind.

Paterson’s appointment feels like the start of a new chapter. He’s young, he’s been around good footballing minds, and he seems to get what the club’s about already. It’s also refreshing to hear the Reedtz brothers backing him with a proper support structure. It feels like a bit of a gamble, but hopefully its a well-thought-out plan.

The board has made its call and appointed someone who they hope can get us promoted; I don't know much about Martin Paterson as a coach or manager. I only vaguely know him as a player, and I just hope he has that aggression to win and can get the players wanting to put an extra 20 to 30% into their performances. Paterson has been given a good opportunity to come in and guide Notts, so fingers crossed he will do just that.

I like the balance Maynard has found with the squad, and these signings. He’s clearly thought about how they fit into the team rather than just grabbing names. Traoré is a really exciting addition, his pace will be useful when breaking down deep defences. Jatta has been class, and McGoldrick’s experience is invaluable. Midfield is packed with quality, and the defence looks steadier with McDonald in form. Really interested to see how Whittaker develops too, Everton fans rated him highly. If we stay consistent, we’ve got a serious chance this season.

Victory at Brunton Park was much needed. Notts County's disciplined approach, particularly in defence, ensured Carlisle couldn't break through. Jatta and Robertson provided the attacking spark, showcasing their quality. Bass truly stood out with crucial saves that kept a clean sheet intact. The fans' unwavering support was the cherry on top, creating a fantastic atmosphere that felt like a home game. Maynard’s tactical nous and the players’ commitment suggest a promising season ahead. It’s a pleasure to see the team responding so well to the head coach’s strategies.

i dont know what stuart maynard needs to do in order to win those moaners over, but he is doing a fantastic job and the players are clearly responding to him and the coaching. it was a fantastic win last night.

It’s always tough to see a player like Jodi sidelined with an injury, especially when it could have been avoided with better officiating. His frustration is understandable, and it’s something the league must address. Despite the setback, Jodi’s positivity and commitment to returning stronger is heartening. His connection with the fans and his determination to support the team even while injured shows his character. We need to keep the spirits high and show our support for both Jodi and the rest of the team.

Challenges from behind are very dangerous. Just look at the picture and you will see how serious a tackle like that can be. His foot is also raised, so how it was even a foul is beyond me. The officiating during the Gillingham game was a joke. It’s very sad news, but I am confident Jodi Jones will come back strong. It’s a tough situation for Jodi to be in. You could see on his face as he limped off how disappointed he was. I am just glad we know what it is and that it’s not as serious as speculated, even though a small break is still bad.

Really liking what I’m seeing from Bedeau so far. He’s calm, collected, and clearly a leader both on and off the pitch. His comments about focusing during possession play show he understands where we need to improve, it’s been an issue in a few games this season. I also thought his comments on Morecambe were interesting. He’s got respect for his old club, but it’s clear that he’s committed to our success now. His experience in League One will be vital as we push for promotion, and I’m excited to see how he handles this weekend’s match. He’s quickly becoming one of my favourite players.

Jacob Bedeau has been an excellent signing for Notts. Not only is he solid at the back he is also keen to make some forays into the opposition half. He has struck a great defensive partnership with Platt & Macari at the back too. I believe Jacob can only get better as the season goes on. He might even score some vital goals too.

What stands out is how Paterson talks about accountability. At first, he had to drag players out for extra practice, but now they are choosing to stay behind. That’s a big cultural change. It shows the squad is buying into his way of working. I also liked the honesty about set-pieces. He admitted we were weak there earlier in the season, but says adjustments have been made. That’s refreshing to hear. If we can tighten up against Gillingham’s long throws, we’ve got every chance of extending the unbeaten run.

The Reedtz brothers have built a solid foundation, and you can see how the club has benefited from their way of working. Results haven’t always been perfect, but we look like a club with a plan rather than just reacting to each season. Recruitment has been better, the squad is balanced, and the structure behind the scenes feels healthier. Still, there’s always that tension between a fan’s view and an owner’s view. A supporter wants wins and excitement now, while the Reedtz approach is about sustainability. Neither is wrong, but it does mean there will always be debates on whether the club is ambitious enough in the short term.

it was a very good performance, with improvements to make but that will come with more confidence. i thought we did very well to create chances and the quality of them made it difficult for shrewsbury town. very pleased with the win, i hope we can move forward from here.

Interesting to see the way the club is using data and analysis to drive decisions. It’s not just about signing names, they’re clearly identifying weaknesses and trying to fix them in smart ways. That’s how you stay competitive in a league full of big spenders without losing your head. The loan market stuff was eye-opening too. Fingers crossed the Spurs link-up continues because that’s how you bring in quality without breaking the bank. Great work so far.

It's good that he recognizes the project and knows what Notts are all about, players like Ollie Norburn thrive in front of passionate fans, and I really hope we can get behind him. There are concerns about his injury history, but we are preparing to focus on this, and I think there are enough midfielders for this not to be that worrying. It's more promising if he can settle early and make a big impact. No doubt League One teams would have been interested, so it does feel like a coup for us.

Wasn’t sure what to expect this summer, but signing someone like Norburn early gives me a lot of hope. He’s clearly someone Gagliardi rates highly and has been chasing for a while, so that tells me this wasn’t a panic move. We’ve all seen what happens when teams don’t have someone in the middle to steady things, he’s the kind of player who’ll win second balls, shout instructions, and drag others up with him. I hope we give him a proper run in the side once he’s fit, and it would be brilliant to see him mentoring the younger midfielders as well. Could easily see him becoming a fan favourite if he settles in quickly.

A lot of young loanees take time to settle, but Abbott has slotted in seamlessly. His movement off the ball is clever, and he’s always looking for a forward pass. That’s exactly the type of player we need if we’re going to push for automatic promotion. His assist for Jatta was brilliant, but he also had a solid defensive game, making key tackles and interceptions. He’s already got four goals and four assists in League Two, which is an impressive return for a midfielder. If he keeps this up, he’s going to have a big future, whether that’s back at Spurs or somewhere else. Absolutely delighted he’s staying.

Rod McDonald’s attitude through this injury has been top class. It's always hard for players joining a new club and getting sidelined right away, but he seems to have kept a really positive outlook, which is great. His experience is exactly what we need in defence, and I think his return will help shore things up at the back. Really excited to see how he performs today, especially against his old team, AFC Wimbledon. Should be a good match!

It’s been a long wait for McDonald to get back to full fitness, but I’m excited to see him make his league debut. His experience is exactly what our defence needs, especially after some tough matches recently. The fact that he’s had the support of the gaffer and teammates is brilliant too, just shows how strong the unity is within the squad. His presence on the field will bring us that calm and stability we’ve needed at times. Let’s hope he can help us keep a clean sheet against AFC Wimbledon. It’s not going to be an easy game, but I’m optimistic with him in the team.

i like kellan gordon, i think he can cover whilst jodi jones is out and he could become a player that is a vital part of what makes stuart maynards side work as a first team member. he does work hard and i like the ability he has to do different types of crosses, its not just hit in or try to curve it, sometimes he puts in crosses which are consistently begging to be taken. i find what he says to be very humble, i am glad hes back amongst his family.

Maynard deserves credit for the way he's shaping this team. He’s got them playing with a mix of flair and resilience, something that was evident in the victory over Carlisle. Jatta and Robertson returning and immediately making an impact is a testament to the depth and quality in this squad. Defensive efforts, especially Bass's crucial save, were outstanding. The support from the fans was also incredible, making their presence felt throughout the match. It's performances like these that build momentum and confidence going forward.

Jacob Bedeau made some good comments. I like his wise words about Kameron Muir, and that should be encouraging for the young player. As for him returning to Morecambe, I am sure he feels more suited to being with us and pushing for promotion from League Two. Morecambe should pick up in time, but I feel he’s a very good defender.
