    Stuart Maynard is really making this Notts side his own, stamping out the predictability we’ve seen before. The football so far has been very enjoyable. The Swindon game was alright. Against Fleetwood, we looked lively in the second half. If it weren’t for the first half goals, we would have won that one. It’s almost a flawless start, so I’m encouraged to see how we do against Gillingham.

    I was once working on a business unit, with two chippies either side of the premises. Every day, one would have a special, and the other would put handwritten signs of reduced prices on coloured paper. Every day it was something different, but one thing that always happened was when it came to locking up. The two people who ran or owned the takeaways, whatever they were, would throw spoilt food at each other at the back. It was one of the funniest but most childish things I have ever seen. They looked like they would come to blows, but neither would throw a punch, just fish. It’s the truth, I swear!

    He could see out his contract, then review all the offers that come in. If a Championship team did, offering him a better payday, how do we compete with that? We have to get our better players extending their contracts where we can. I don’t care if we sell him at the end of this season, provided we have seen his magic and he’s helped us on the pitch. Sure, I would be sad to see him go, but it beats losing talent on a free.

    It doesn’t sound like you’ve had it all that good recently. Time to relax and try to look after yourself. I hope your family isn’t too worried. I am sure it would have been upsetting, but to see you revived would have been like a miracle to them. Take care.

    It’s horrible to read this, I am very sorry. Is he being well looked after? I don’t want to pry, but I hope he’s got the support needed. I do remember him being thankful for having his lovely neighbours. I wish him well. Thanks for updating us.

    It’s brilliant to see the Pavis and KOP full of fans. It would be nice to see the family stand used a bit more. The attendances are impressive, and we loyal fans who have been around for years will appreciate this even more.

    Imagine breaking the rules for so long, only to finally reach this point. One rule for some, and a different rule for others.

    I don’t know much about Bromley since they moved up. They were a good National League team. I’m sure they have adapted to life in League Two. It would be great if Crawley and Jones are available for selection. This would be a big boost for the game, but our confidence must be high at the moment.
  10. B&Wstripes
    They will improve by the time they play us, you just know it.

    As routine statements go, I am not sure it was needed, but I do acknowledge that being clear and insightful is a very good aspect of the club. The worry of losing players should mostly settle until the new year. We just have to see what happens.

    Accrington Stanley wasn’t very good, but I think credit has to go to Notts for how they managed them. I don’t think we allowed them to get any strides or confidence going. Early on, even minutes in, we forced them to chase everything. It was a routine win but an excellent 90 minutes of football.
  13. B&Wstripes
    To be fair, I think all the signings have settled in nicely, at least those who have played. Matty Platt and Jacob Bedeau are two quality defenders who bring a calm influence at the back. Bedeau has done well. I have been very impressed with his ability to go wide when needed and help push into attacking positions. His pass that set up David McGoldrick was a quality ball that just left Didzy to finish.

    Hello, @Emma Duffield. Welcome to PON. Have fun on the site.
  15. B&Wstripes
    a warm welcome to you, @Alan Carnell. I hope you settle in on PON.
  16. B&Wstripes
    We must give him a chance and hope that he contributes. I do not have any expectations of him, but I do hope that if he is needed, he can help us progress with our season. I do not know much about Jevani Brown, so I will see how he does during his loan spell with us.

    From where I sat, neither of the first two goals looked dubious. The highlights suggest differently, but both sets of fans know how appalling the level of officiating is in League Two. Taking the goals out of it, Notts were so much better than Grimsby, mainly due to the quality of Jones and Crowley. There was great support from two proper sets of fans. The attendance was 10,000, but it would have been 13,000 if not for Sky affecting the game.

    It’s good to see Jodi Jones being awarded. The trophy is huge! It’s also good to see Dan Crowley and Macaulay Langstaff gain further awards while representing Notts.
  21. B&Wstripes
    Come on Notts, let’s start with a win over Grimsby. It would be a good time to get those vital 3 points, which would push the club higher up the table. I think Stuart Maynard is showing good signs. Hopefully, the starting lineup can make it easier without needing changes to bring us back into the game.
  22. B&Wstripes
    It’s really encouraging to see the level of preparation going into the new season, especially with the new pitch and training facilities. The fact that the club has invested in making sure the pitch suits our style of play speaks volumes about our ambitions. I’m also pleased to hear Maynard talking about turning Meadow Lane into a fortress. We’ve always had passionate fans, and with over 6,000 season ticket holders, the support will be stronger than ever. Fleetwood will be a tough opponent, but if we can execute our game plan and take advantage of the new pitch, I think we’ll start the home campaign on a high. Can’t wait for Sunday’s match, it should be a great game!

    You're leading 2-0 at half-time, so I would expect Shrewsbury to come out determined to turn things around. Their manager might have given them a telling-off, or perhaps the frustration from their fans made the point clear. As the home team, I believe they should have fought to get back into the match. Once they scored, the momentum shifted in their favour, but they are still a League One team. Forcing penalties after being down 3-2 may be hard to accept, but it does deserve some recognition.
  24. B&Wstripes
    We can’t really have any expectations until we’ve seen the team compete against several good clubs. However, I hope we do well against Tranmere. Their ground makes little difference if we travel in voice. If we are at our best as fans and create an encouraging atmosphere, we could out-sing them.
  25. B&Wstripes
    It’s old news, but I’m surprised that Alex Kirk hasn’t found a club. I wonder if Bromley will pick him up? Their manager has said they would like him back. As for us, I would like a striker and an attacking midfielder. If the club could recruit two exciting players for these positions, I think we would have a strong squad to fight for promotion. https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2024/05/05/1181673-andy-woodman-wants-to-bring-alex-kirk-back-to-bromley-next-season.html Some of our fans act like we’re a million miles away. They probably haven’t seen how the team has done in person during pre-season and are judging the results solely.
