If it had worked, it would have been a meaningful signing, but it didn't. I think the loan was a good move last season, but I suspected he would end up being released. Some of the comments from our fans, while they are funny at times, do become personal, and I think those types should remind themselves that he didn't really do anything wrong. I had very limited belief in his ability, and he had me on the edge of my seat for all the wrong reasons, but is it his fault he signed? With the right team, he could be the right choice, but for us it isn't to be. I appreciate what he tried and did during his time. I heard a lot of personal comments directed at him on match days; I disagree with that, but I do understand why many simply felt he wasn't a good fit for Notts. Best of luck in his next move.

I have implemented two updates to fix topic related bugs, I will await further feedback in the announcement topic before making changes to the game.

Thanks, @liampie. I hope fans will take part and see it as a bit of fun. Yesterday, I helped Mark H (@BigNCFC) move all the stuff he had in a storage unit and brought what couldn’t fit in his house yet into my garage. Jake's been looking at the CDs among the stuff, as he's gone all in on owning digital media. He's very annoyed that Sony are scrapping physical games for their next-gen console. Meanwhile I am resting my back, as it hurt a lot after Doncaster, but now it's calling out for a bath for me to relax.

Re: another version about JJ's departure; sometimes people listen to the wrong one. Paul may be misadvised or listening to the wrong source. It's why I am tight-lipped about things I know, even if they come directly from a player. Dean Leacock once told me some insights after a fans’ forum, and they turned out to be valid, but I would never have repeated them. There are other areas of our fan base who are quick to seem in the know or spread rumours. Nobody is perfect, not even I, but I wouldn't risk the reputation I have built over the years for some quick attention or gossip. The part about him travelling makes me appreciate that a move to Bromley would allow him not only to cut down the distance but also have more quality time with his family. I don't feel disappointed with the club. A big talking point before the Doncaster game was transparency from the club, and we do seem to always say players are injured when we are selling them. This isn't the way to treat your supporters; it's not a good image, and I think it's misleading, but I am mindful of the two sides to each story. Sometimes there's truth in both parties, but we are unlikely to know Notts' side because I doubt a reporter will ask.

@Sheffield Pie: Is right; this is the toughest game we have had so far on paper. They are more organised and ready than the likes of Leicester City, who have lost two of their players who featured against us and are having to adapt to life in League One. Huddersfield are a good side, with some excellent additions made during this transfer window. Though I do feel nervous, it's more because I have little idea how Huddersfield will line up or play against us. My instinct would be that they'll press and attack, preferring to do most of the work on the ball. Which leaves us to make use of the improvements our team has made in the counter-attacking department. I don't think we will be outplayed, but a difficult game, much like Doncaster, where our lads will have to dig in to create chances. As boring as it sounds, I would settle for a draw, and I am repeating myself. I just think that being undefeated at this stage, so early in the season and with us wanting to establish ourselves in League One, would just be a positive point. No fan attending will want to settle for anything less than attempting to win, but sometimes points are the best thing you can pick up against hard teams on the road. I will be there, encouraging all the players.

I wasn't aware Andy Legg was back in management, though I am pleased to see this. I enjoyed watching him as a youngster, with his long throw and flair out wide. It's also nice to see him looking to bring success to the town named after my father. 😂

I bumped into him during the period when the released list came up, and he told me he was looking to sign for a non-league team and build his career from there. I think he might have had a trial with Basford United. Unfortunately, he did mention something which saddened me and it shouldn't be me to repeat it. Though having just watched K-Ci's interview with Jodi, it does add to the disappointment from the club's perspective. Does anyone know when James Sanderson was released? I always rated him, but he seems to be without a club now. Best of luck to Milai Perrott.

I had heard that Jodi had been interested in joining us or Wrexham; it's good to know the club took the chance because we have had a good time with Jodi Jones representing us. We have many memories, and not just the playoffs finals or promotions. To be playing at the level he can, after such injuries it is a credit to his character and ability. It also explains why he defended better last season than I am used to seeing, but he's not a natural at it. You can see Jodi is better going forward; a very interesting interview, and K-Ci has done very well. I'm mindful that there's always two sides to a story, but Jodi's side is very different from what is being portrayed and it comes across as geninue. It's going to be interesting if we have a fans forum, as I suspect this will be one of the questions us fans will want cleared up, but will the club be transparent? After all, every question is screened.

Currently, hints are penalised differently. Only one hint is allowed; I am thinking about changing it so that you have to guess twice before using the hint and reviewing the penalty for using it. Today, I wouldn't have gotten it without the hint. I think I might leave the decade open, instead of a mid-, early-, or late-year.

I will check this to ensure the list of players is fully valid. 😂😂 I'll let you off with forgetting about Luke Browne. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2026/january/07/signing--luke-browne/

Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Sid James. I hope you enjoy being part of our Notts County community.

Yes, there's a plaque mentioning it. If you walk around it, there are parts that mention things about him and how he's donated money to the nature reserve over the years to keep it operational. One of the funniest places I have walked around in recent years with my family; it was nice to see various animals. Well worth visiting.

Two things for me. One, I don't think Jodi was always worth the start. I preferred him to come on as a sub. He's lost a bit of pace, but will always have that quality and I just felt last season that moving forward we would have to balance his game time. I would much rather start him in important games, or against weaker teams where he's clearly a class above. Yet when I said this to fans last season it became a very unpopular opinion but I do stand by it. As much of a quality player Jodi is, he never seemed consistent enough and his connection with fans meant his downturns would often be overlooked. Now, some of them may see things for what they are now. Secondly, I couldn't imagine us having Cal Roberts and Jodi Jones in the same lineup. I think Roberts is a clear candidate for being a more consistent performer who is able to assist but also score. Those two would keep out players like Nick Tsaroula, but on paper it would have been one hell of a choice to have. I just don't see it as being practical, when it sounds like Jodi wanted more money and I don't blame him for that. He's given countless top performances, plenty of things to remember and at this stage I don't feel anyone should blame him.
