I have to say that I think mind would be very close! Notts can achieve a play off spot but we will have to keep focused. COYP!

Very enjoyable, if there are more of these by others I look forward to them also. Last season is anyone's guess as to what went wrong, I still feel we should have done much better. This year I think mid table would be a fair bet, as an outside gamble I would stake on a lower play-off position. It depends on the players.

Excellent! Being away from Nottinghamshire I have lost touch with the daily on goings, I tended to read the Evening Post's online site but I gave up with that. I think this is great, nice to see the fans doing something to pay respect to two of our legends! Nice update, I appreciate it. Thank you!

Good signing by all accounts, he can get game time with us which is what he will need to get back to full fitness and equally staying injury free. Well Done to the manager and club! I best go get my season ticket now, you know the one I did not want because of the lack of signings!!!! Oh wait, I already have mine. How things quickly change around Notts!

How nice it was to go back to watching Notts! This is a brilliant piece of writing, something I have missed during the close season. It's good to be back

Smashing, I would have liked to take part but where I'm based would be a problem without advanced planning which sadly I didn't have time for. Nice photos

He does lad, cracking signing by the club. I had the pleasure of seeing him play a few season back, a game I attended with a friend and the lad scored an howler! He also pulled wide as mentioned above and took time to create play. Fantastic player!

We have to give the young lad a chance, with these additional two signings it shows that Notts are in the market. Hope Malcolm enjoys his football, he looked like he was earlier in the friendly game.

It's nice to read an article on the history of football, I find your writing very informative and enjoyable. I'll keep my eyes open for your next submission here.

Smashing write up Joe, it's a nice little read.

Impressive, yet Liam does have a valid point. The game quite lively, Coventry seemed up for the game and credit to them for the come back. Thanks for Match Report PON

What a brilliant win! I sat towards the corner, perfect view and the stadium very nice. Last Saturday was my first visit to the Keepmoat Stadium, if they miss out on promotion I will return next year but I feel this will not be the case. The match report is a fine write up, well Done Joe.

Excellent Match Report! Outstanding to see the youngsters do so well, also to see our friends return to Nottingham. I thought we played with much more urgency. Credit to the whole day, such a passionate day and good laugh.

Always welcome back Italian Magpies! Your group is a credit to us, I spoke with a few and noticed a couple of people wearing Liddle T-Shirts. It's nice to see PoN and Italian Magpies working nicely together, I am sorry to those Italians I spoke with. I'm still suffering from a cold, so I am unable to speak as clearly. This poor guy wearing glasses inside the kop could not understand a thing of what I said and another just kept putting his hand up. Nice to see you and Thanks. Good Write up Joe!

Football must have been very different then, it's a nice little article Super Ram and I look forward to reading future submissions.

Nice Work J Jones, Your reports are very clear and easy reading. Like liampie said I aswell look forward to reading the reports here. The game ended how most fans would have thought but it's a crying shame we did not hold onto a point at least. Bart my Man of the Match

I'm at work currently but cracking work on the opposition view, it's a nice feature to have and I am sure it's a difficult challenge finding someone who is open to honesty aswell as open answers. Thanks

I do have to admit better attention to the questions would have made a difference. Colin Slater easily dismissed some of the people who genuinelly made it interesting, no limits on some of the others and I felt that could have been handled better. The night for me was worth the journey, I spoke about this forum to a couple of my old pals and had a drink with them after.

I would gladly answer some questions some time, I do not know if I will be any good but just like Tony I am more than happy to grace defeat so respectfully. Nice piece of fun! Well done to all the participants. Good questions too!

Brentford are a good side, resource to match and are not the same team we beat back in league two. I thought we would lose this game, it's only one goal. I don't understand some of the fans who are acting like we got picked apart, Bart was brave but unlucky and on a better day he wouldn't of made the mistake. Good travelling support, very impressed myself. Nice match report!

Joe, I Thank you for the effort you put into the site. I live away from Nottingham so as you can imagine I rely on Twitter updates and the official club website. Keep up the hard work! as others have said it does pay off.

Same here aswell, he was a very lovely man. Please do keep writing Notts Joe!

Interesting read, if we get half of the points we can I would consider this a job well done but whatever the outcome may be, it's really much better than the previous years when we struggled at the opposite end of league two.

The growth of our players is invaluable to any side in our division, changes made to Crystal Palace for example have seen some prime and influential players come through their own system, as a result they're doing well in the Championship. Crewe Alexandra, do it well too. Preston another side who makes use of having youngsters with the desire, as is the same with Portsmouth who need them now more than ever. We are no different, It's a shame that cost cutting exercises took away one our most vaulable assets but so relieved to see it back on track. We are also now in a position to keep them without being forced to sell, I hope the club continues this excellent scheme and the likes of Haydn Hollis settle into our side as he his showing promising signs.

The three changes brought a glimmer of hope, it seemed unlikely that changes could largely impact the game. A few brief spells, silenced by their counter play. We didn't deserve to win and lucky to draw, top player our goalkeeper!
