    The pitch looks great, I can see it benefitting Notts. The squad should be fine with more games, today was a difficult game to get back into but a fair result.

    Conor Grant seems like a fantastic addition to Notts. His early goal in the League Cup already shows his capability and potential to become a standout player for the team. It's encouraging to see his enthusiasm for the new pitch and the upcoming matches, making it clear that he's ready to give his all for the club. With his solid experience in the Football League, I'm optimistic that he will bring both skill and maturity to the midfield, and help drive us towards a successful season.

    Mark Stallard's analysis perfectly captures the essence of the Notts County vs. Shrewsbury Town match. It was, indeed, a tale of two halves. The first half saw us dominating, which was a thrill to watch. The second half, however, tested our resilience. Despite the frustrating nature of conceding goals and losing on penalties, Stall's encouragement to focus on the positives is vital. Holding our own against a higher division team for 90 minutes is commendable. The substitutions might have disrupted the momentum, but they were necessary.

    I wonder how much the sport has taken a toll on him. The training is relentless, and repeatedly diving into water might not be the best activity. He’s done superbly, so I wish him well.

    @Countylad with PON you get out what you put in, it's a great resource for Notts fans. Welcome to the community.

    Please keep us updated when you can, and make sure to let @AmericanPie know our thoughts. It was clear that he appreciated the insights we shared, and I hope he's still able to stay informed. I'm sorry to hear this news and greatly valued his contributions to PON. It's very sad.

    The first half against Shrewsbury was absolutely thrilling. Seeing Notts play with such dominance gave us all hope. However, football is unpredictable, and the second half showed just that. Credit to Shrewsbury for their comeback, but it's unfortunate that defensive mistakes let us down. Penalties are always a gamble, and this time luck wasn't on our side. Stuart Maynard’s reflections were honest and eye-opening. Learning from these experiences is crucial, and the team's resilience is commendable. The focus now should be on the upcoming match against Fleetwood. We need to take the positives from this game and work on areas that need improvement. Keep the faith! Onwards and upwards!

    Jeff was a great player and person. He was one of a kind in a group of players increasingly swayed by money and glamour. Jeff Astle was a traditional family man and an amazing footballer! I wish he had stayed at Notts longer, but great things always move on to pastures new.

    I feel a bit torn by this result. On one hand, we played some beautiful football and controlled the game. On the other, we didn’t get the win we probably deserved. Bass really impressed in goal and made sure we didn’t go behind. Our attacking players need to sharpen up a bit though; 11 shots but only one on target isn’t good enough. It’s positive to see the team playing with such confidence though, and the new signings seem to be settling in well. If we can turn our possession into goals, we’ll be in for a great season. A solid start, but improvements needed.

    It’s hard to imagine Aaron Nemane not making the team. We really missed his speed and trickery against Tranmere Rovers today. His direct play, cut-backs, and attacking were always a big help. Defensively, he had his issues, but at least he tried, unlike Enzo Boldewijn. It’s an interesting choice from Notts, but swapping a few players for someone leaving isn’t a bad thing. I just think we might miss Nemane, but I welcome Conor Grant. He should be treated fairly and not criticised because a favourite player has left.
  12. upthepies
    We need to give him a fair chance, so I'm happy to welcome him and hope he does well for us. Notts has made an interesting choice, but I must say again, it's not his fault we lost Aaron Nemane. He speaks well, and I hope he grows with Notts.

    Not impressed, very buggy. It crashes every time I try the video tab, with random freezing and slowdowns. What works is nice, but I don’t see much advantage over just having a website that does the same thing.

    The new official site has more bugs than an old, run-down kitchen. I tried the app, but it crashes when I press the videos and randomly freezes. I'm not very impressed; this should have been sorted out before going live.

    A satisfying opening game, with plenty of room for improvement, like taking more chances, but Notts worked hard. It’s hard not to appreciate our strong defence, solid at the back. We just need to carry the second-half approach through the full 90 minutes. Overall, it’s a very positive start to the season.
  16. upthepies
    This is going to be a big match for us, and I’m really excited to see how the new signings fit in. Jatta’s been on fire in pre-season, and I think he’ll be the key man for us against Tranmere. It’s always tough playing away from home, especially at a ground like Prenton Park, but if we stay disciplined and stick to our game plan, we should be able to get a result. Let’s hope we can start with a win!

    I would expect Cedwyn Scott to start. He’s been given the number 9 shirt and is one of our best options in the attacking department. I think David McGoldrick will be more of a rotational player, perhaps coming on from the bench. I’m not sure where I would fit Jodi Jones in, but having him in a free-roaming, more attacking role would be good. He’s got goals, so I would love to see him take a few more chances from further away.

    It sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom, but it’s a very good interview and I like Scott’s passion. He’s taking over the mantle that Langstaff built, and I am sure his boots will be just as good on goal. I am very encouraged to see how he does playing as a striker, instead of a bit deeper.

    I don’t understand the fuss that the BBC and other media outlets have been making about this deal. Just because a player looks like another doesn’t mean it should be the main focus. I see he’s already come out saying he’ll be better than Jack Grealish. Those are big words. Yes, he does look similar, but I am sure he’s his own player.

    The story of Ian's one of both dedication and inspiration. His lifelong love for Notts County, inherited from his father, highlights the deep-rooted tradition of football fandom. Even as he faces life’s challenges, such as Wendy's illness, Ian maintains his passion for the game. The special bond he shares with his daughter Paige over match days is a lovely reminder of how football can bring people together. The highs and lows of being a Notts fan, from cherished victories to crushing defeats, all form an integral part of Ian's journey. His resilience and joy in sharing these experiences underscore the powerful connection between fans and their clubs.

    It's clear you're very passionate about your channel, and the fact you're reaching out shows how much thought you're putting into this. It's never easy to deal with mental health challenges, and sometimes stepping back to focus on yourself is the best move. You have a dedicated following who enjoys your content, and that won't change if you decide to pause for a bit. Maybe use this time to reassess what you want and need from this project. You'll have clarity and can decide if and when you wish to return. We’ll support you either way.

    Only time can confirm if Stuart Maynard is the suitable person for the job. We must bear in mind that the head coach isn’t always to blame when results don’t go as planned. While I believe no one on PON wishes for Notts to fail, some fans do behave in this manner. They seem to derive a great deal of satisfaction from being negative for any reason they can find. I want Maynard to succeed and I support him more, but I question whether he can motivate the players enough for them to push themselves further for him. Luke Williams had this quality in abundance, but we can’t take it for granted or draw comparisons between them.

    I hope you had the chance to watch England play international football abroad, @Wheelbarrow repair man. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t respect or verify the age of the applicants before raising your expectations. Thank you for sharing.

    Yes, there are positive signs from him. He’s proficient with both feet, shows a willingness to participate and from the matches I’ve watched, which includes youth games, I understand the club’s perspective. They just need to commit to giving him playing time, loan him out for the first part of the season and then in the second half, allow him to accumulate appearances in our team.
