    Alex Bass deserves to be named Man of the Match. He was superb and kept Carlisle out by being alert to every chance that got past our defence, and there were quite a few. Defensively, Notts was good, but without Bass, this game would have been different.

    The second half might not have been the most thrilling, but the opening goal was a moment of brilliance. Jatta’s presence on the field made all the difference, and everything changed once Stuart Maynard made his adjustments. Despite the heavy schedule, it was a solid victory. Alex Bass and the defenders did an excellent job keeping Carlisle at bay. We’ve been playing a lot of minutes lately, but the team’s resilience showed through. It was a well-earned win, thanks to the strong defensive performance.

    The second half wouldn't have been enjoyable to watch, but the opening goal was pure class. That's the difference having Jatta in the team makes, everything seemed to shift once Stuart Maynard made the changes. We've played a lot of minutes recently, but it was a solid win. Alex Bass and all the defenders did well to keep Carlisle at bay.p

    An away day at Carlisle is always tough, and with our current injuries, it looks even harder. Stuart Maynard has his work cut out for him picking a squad that can cope with the home side's physicality. Personally, I'd like to see a strong midfield, maybe bringing in some younger legs to support the more experienced players. Our defence must be sharp and avoid any lapses in concentration. We have to make the most of any set-pieces or breakaway opportunities. Given the circumstances, I'd be content with a point from this fixture. Let's hope the lads put in a good shift.

    It’s frustrating to see another game marred by questionable refereeing decisions. The challenge on Abbott should have resulted in a red card, which might have changed the game's outcome. That said, I’m proud of how Notts handled the early setback. Conceding immediately could have been disastrous, but the character and resilience shown were commendable. Sam Austin’s pinpoint cross and Platt’s goal were definite highlights. Maynard’s strategies are working, and despite the draw, it feels like a victory given the context. We need to focus on our finishing in front of goal next.

    For me, Dan Crowley stood out. He made a few poor decisions, but he tried throughout the game to get us going. It’s unfortunate that some of the players were not on the same wavelength. David McGoldrick also played well.

    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.

    Really looking forward to seeing how Crowley performs against Morecambe. He’s been in brilliant form, pulling the strings in midfield, so his battle with Songo’o should be a good one. Morecambe’s winless streak makes me think we should win comfortably, but football’s never that simple, is it? They’ll be desperate for a result, so we need to avoid any sloppy mistakes and stay sharp from the start. A fast goal could really settle things in our favour.

    What stands out most about Jacob Bedeau is his humble approach to both his past and present clubs. His reflections on Morecambe highlight the importance of player development and the value of gaining experience at different levels. His seamless transition to Notts County indicates not just his skill but also his adaptability. With the way he has gelled with the team, particularly in defence, it’s clear we have a solid player on our hands. Jacob’s optimism about our promotion push is exactly what fans want to hear. This weekend’s match against Morecambe will be a test, but with Jacob at the back, I’m confident we can secure a win.

    It doesn’t sound good if they don’t know how much they can spend on players. Their owners made a mistake, which led to the embargo. It seems like they are in crisis. I wonder if life in League One stretched their limits? It’s not good for them.

    I wish Jodi Jones all the best. I don’t want to speculate on his injury as I’m worried it could be serious. I’ll wait for the news to be shared, then come back to share my thoughts. It didn’t look good at all.

    It’s great to see the community voting for the Man of the Match on PON. It’s been years since I last remember a player being named. It’s good to see it back!

    Lovely photo gallery! It can't be easy putting this together after a defeat and with frustrating officials, but credit for the fantastic fan gallery.

    We played some of our best football today but just couldn't break Gillingham down. I think the first half was as good as we’ve seen all season, and if we’d taken one of those chances, it would’ve been a different story. The disallowed goal and penalty shout were tough to take, and I can understand Maynard’s frustration. It didn’t feel like we had much luck, but the effort and quality were definitely there. Injuries to key players didn’t help either, but we’ve got the squad to cope. It’s just one game, and we’re still in a strong position. The team’s mentality is strong, and I’m sure we’ll come back stronger in the next match.

    The game was a display of two evenly matched teams, both of which have good defences. I thought the Gillingham keeper made two very good saves, but the open goal miss should have been taken, and the offside, I do think, is the incorrect call. There’s talk of Jevani Brown being offside, but he looks on to me when I watch it.

    What I love most about Dan Crowley is his understanding of how important it is to stay humble and grounded. He’s not just focused on his personal stats but the team’s overall performance. His perspective on home and away games really stands out too. He knows we’re solid at Meadow Lane but is aware that picking up points away is crucial. I’m excited about today’s match against Gillingham, and Stuart Maynard’s pre-match thoughts make me feel like the team is in a great mindset. We’re looking strong, but as Crowley says, let’s take it one game at a time!

    Good luck to him. MK Dons might not find form so easily under a new manager. I wonder if they will go for someone who has been there before? I hope they don’t pick up.
  22. upthepies
    I know both teams have changed a lot since Gillingham last played at Meadow Lane, but I thought they gave us a good game. It was a hard-fought 2-1 win, which is how I think tomorrow will go. It doesn’t really matter who scores, but the win and maintaining that undefeated record is important. Gillingham will find us as tough as we find them, so it should be lively and a good game overall.
  23. upthepies
    Not likely within the next 3-5 years. It will take an exceptional talent, and Macaulay Langstaff is the first player I honestly believe could beat it. You don’t find strikers of his quality that often at this level, so I think Les Bradd’s record is safe for a while longer.

    I have driven up to be closer to Nottingham, so I don’t have to leave early in the morning to make the game. It also gives me a chance to have a couple of pints, since I won’t be driving. It’s a bit dull in Nottingham; it was much brighter where I came from. I must remember to join in with the weekly chats from time to time. I hope everyone is well.

    Crowley's dedication to Notts is genuinely refreshing. His contribution both on and off the pitch this season has been monumental. Scoring three goals and assisting four in just six appearances speaks volumes about his skill and commitment. It's clear he has immense respect for the club and the fans, and it’s evident in every match. The way he talks about the team's cohesion and their grounded nature despite leading the table is admirable. It's players like Crowley who can steer us to success.
