  1. I appreciate Langstaff's words in his interviews, it gives us fans a great insight into how things are run at the club. Despite the pressure and intense scrutiny that comes with being in his position, he still manages to effectively communicate his plans to us. Can't wait to see how this strategy translates on the field!
  2. Reading about the bond between the fans, players and staff just reaffirms why I love this club so much. Can't wait to see them back in action against Stoke City!
  3. What interests me most about this title race is the level of competitiveness and unpredictability. It's refreshing to see that, unlike many top tier leagues where the outcome becomes somewhat predictable, the National League still evokes that passion and nerve-wracking uncertainty which make for thrilling football.
  4. Good on Stoke City for stepping up here. They've started a precedent where football, often stained with controversy and scandal, can be a platform for goodness and unity. In this critical period, their actions will hopefully inspire other clubs to do the same. Not to say that we should overlook the competitive aspect of football, that's what makes our sport exhilarating. But there are moments outside the 90 minutes of a game that can have a more profound impact. Stoke City has exhibited just that, and for this, they deserve all our respect.
  5. This is just great; it’s nice to see fans looking forward to a new season. I hope Paul and Evan have a great time watching Notts, and as for Kimbo, her mother will be with her. I agree with the mention of Alice; she was a good egg within the club. It’s a shame she left.
  6. I hope he manages to impress and find a club within the EFL within a few seasons. I can’t see Dagenham & Redbridge being promoted any time soon. I think they will struggle to make the playoffs, but who knows if they keep building.
  7. It’s not the end of the world. The principal sponsor is the name for the company that sponsors the area above a player’s name, correct? It’s not even on the front of the shirt, so what’s the big deal?
  8. I believe Leroy Lita played for both Notts and Nuneaton.
  9. Aaron Nemane's agreement to a new two-year contract with Notts is undoubtedly a moment of great pride and excitement. His skillset, including his speed and close control on the field, sets him apart and makes him a challenging opponent to face. Keeping him on our side is a strategic and commendable move by the management.
  10. Teams such as Newcastle and Juventus have proved that black and white kits can be truly spectacular. These teams have created stunning kits that combine traditional colours with modern designs. By taking their lead, we could create something equally amazing for our home kit. By experimenting with different patterns, materials, and styles, we could create a black and white home kit that is both visually stunning and representative of our team’s identity.
  11. I don’t know what to make of the signing, but I feel that everyone deserves a fair chance. It might not be as exciting as others, yet we are starting to establish a means to get the best out of players. I welcome Aidan Stone to Notts and wish him all the best.
  12. It’s a promising signing; reserve keepers tend to be good enough to fill in and that’s that. He’s 23, so he has room to develop further and will have time to become a regular starter. I don’t see it as being a knock on Brooks; I hope it pushes him to do better than Aidan Stone.
  13. I think he might be a surprise package for us this season. From what I’ve seen and heard, he has a real burst of pace and can create something out of nothing. It’s always exciting to have a player like that on the team. He just needs to be given the opportunity to play and show what he can do. With enough game time, I’m sure he’ll be able to make a real impact and help us achieve our goals this season.
  14. Knowing that Maddison and Jones were best mates at Coventry makes my heart smile. It's important for players to have support systems like this in the industry.
  15. There haven’t been many interactions between me and @super_ram, but I can appreciate his efforts and do think he adds character to the community. There used to be a few fans outside of Notts when I joined that would post; Super being the one who stood out. Him and @Fan of Big Tone are two peas in a pod.
  16. Like others, I think the club will appoint the right person. I can’t see them allowing someone in without carefully considering what they want to do. If they come in and start slow, the new CEO will pick things up.
  17. The moment we saw Jack Grealish play, we knew he was something special. A kid of his age willing to take players on and without fear, going as far to love having his body kicked to the ground. He’s a great player, pleased he won the Premier League. He has come a long way from his days at Notts and he deserves all the success he gets.
  18. I wonder if a bit of Dutch coverage played a part of it, otherwise the bet must have been for serious money.
  19. Welcome @Sirrels County. ????????
  20. Derby fans don’t have the luxury of signing just anyone. They know David McGoldrick a lot better than us Notts fans as they have seen him all last season. We have three strikers who should be more than good enough and our midfield is strong. Would he be a replacement if Ruben Rodrigues left? I would rather get younger legs in. The thing about older players is that you don’t know when their legs will just go.
  21. Welcome to the community, @Stuart jackson. I hope to see you around the site.
  22. Connell Rawlinson is a good guy who doesn’t deserve some of the criticism he receives. All players make mistakes from time to time. Personally, I would rather have Rawlinson on my team than Harry Maguire, who seems to make mistakes virtually every game!
  23. I am delighted to hear this news. Sam is a good keeper who always gives his all. If we were to bring in someone to challenge him for his position, it would need to be another experienced keeper. That being said, I am more than happy with Sam between the sticks.
  24. Hello, welcome to PON. @two for joy, I like your username!
