Notts have a lot to do, but there are clear signs. The new coaching team is asking for discipline and energy, and the players are buying in. When the system clicks, the defence looks tighter and the midfield more compact. It is not glamorous, but it works. The next fixtures against Barnet will test whether the team can sustain this level. If they do, we will see a higher tempo and better ball retention. The supporters will notice the difference, and that can lift confidence across the club. For me, patience is not passive; it is a steady belief that we can improve week by week.

We should take this for what it is, a major step that strengthens the club without giving false hope. It doesn’t put extra cash in the budget for signings, but it does mean that the financial base is stronger and less weighed down by old loans. I’m glad the statement explained that we haven’t actually made a trading profit, because clarity is important. What stands out most is that this wasn’t forced; the Reedtz chose to do it. That’s unusual in football and deserves credit. It makes me feel more confident that whatever happens on the pitch, the club itself is in safe hands for the future.

Over the years, Notts have had some very steady defenders. Mike Edwards was one of them and people called him Steady Eddie. In midfield, we had hard-working players like Matt Palmer and Neal Bishop who always gave their all and were very reliable. Now it feels like we have a new player doing the same. Rod McDonald has come in while Matty Platt has been out and he’s been brilliant. He’s not just filled the gap, he’s made that spot his own and is playing really well every game. He’s so solid in the middle of the back three that I don’t know how we’ll take him out. I keep thinking about how Platt will fit back in. Maybe I’m not the only one wondering that.

I wouldn’t say the appointment is a safe one. Wycombe are going through a tough spell and things don’t seem to be settling down. Even teams with strong squads like Rotherham United are finding it hard in League One. I don’t see much changing for Wycombe any time soon. Burton, Blackpool, Plymouth and Northampton all look like they’ll be near the bottom of the table. I expect them to be fighting to stay up.

You’d hope that playing at home with a more direct style, focused on creating chances, would help Notts come out on top. It’s the kind of setting where they should be looking to take control. Crawley are no pushovers and can hurt teams. I agree about the habit of passing backwards. It often leads to a dead end, especially when the other side presses high and forces us to retreat. Notts can’t go into the match expecting Crawley to sit back. The players need to take charge and push the game forward. I’d like to see more urgency and intent from the start. Sometimes I think a big win would boost confidence the most. But when I watch the games, I find myself happy enough with a narrow win if it gets the job done. The performance might not be perfect, but if they show effort and get off the mark early, that would be encouraging. Hard work and a bit of grit go a long way.

The club seemed to handle things well. There were calls for more openness, but it didn’t get out of hand. The extension went through, and now Alassana Jatta is back in the squad. I think Notts are listening to what people are saying. They seem to be trying to respond in a way that’s helpful and not just reactive. At the time, I wasn’t too happy about it all. But you can’t just charge in and expect the club to deny everything straight away. That would only stir things up more. It’s fair for fans to want better communication. The club does seem willing to talk, but it’s about picking the right moment. We might not always agree with when that is.
