It’s not just about bad management but also the wider system, where money isn’t distributed fairly. Clubs with huge fanbases often get through tough times due to their size, but smaller clubs have no safety net. I hope the Scottish FA or league system steps in to help, though that’s unlikely. It makes me grateful for the stability we have at Notts now. We’ve seen how bad things can get, so to be in safe hands is a relief. Fingers crossed Thistle find a way to move forward.

I’ve been really impressed with how Jatta handles himself on the pitch. He’s got a fantastic attitude, which isn’t something you can say about every player at this level. He’s always looking to improve and help the team, which shows in his performances. While he’s not scoring loads of goals yet, his presence up front makes a huge difference.
He holds the ball up well and brings others into play, which is so important in our system. The way he tracks back and works for the team defensively is just as valuable. If he keeps working on his finishing, I think he could easily hit double figures this season. He’s definitely a player to watch in the coming months.

For most 19-year-olds, it's tough to go out on loan, even if you have the quality that George Abbott clearly has. Without the right environment, it might have taken previous loan stars like Jack Grealish and Callum McGregor more time to settle in. I think the squad creates a great environment for him, one that allows him to focus on his ability and performances, rather than fitting in or needing to win over our fans.
There's a lot that we take for granted, but Abbott's performance yesterday wasn't one of those things. I think he'll be a class player in the coming years, and it's a delight to see him showcase it for us at Notts.

Kellan Gordon's performance has been severely underrated in my opinion. His ability to stretch the defence and provide those pinpoint crosses should have been capitalised upon much more. It wasn't just his attacking contributions that stood out; defensively, he was as solid as ever, making it difficult for Port Vale to penetrate. If the rest of the team had moved with his urgency or matched his aggression on the ball, there could have been a different outcome.

Carlisle United away represents a major test for Stuart Maynard and his squad, particularly with our current injury issues. A strategic approach is needed, focusing on a solid defensive setup and a robust midfield capable of controlling the tempo and minimising errors. Our experienced players like Didzy will need to lead and mentor the younger members of the squad, whose energy could be vital in maintaining our pressing game and counter-attacks.
The midfield battle will be key; we need players who can both disrupt Carlisle's play and instigate our own attacks. Set-pieces could be our golden opportunities, so the lads need to be sharp and ready to exploit any chances that come their way. Despite the difficulties, football can always surprise us, and with the right mentality, a win is not out of reach. A well-earned draw would also be a positive outcome, given the circumstances. Let’s support the team fervently and remain optimistic.

It could be more serious than the club might want to say. Jodi has posted on social media. I thought he might put something out, but he either doesn’t know yet himself or it’s going to take time to get a proper scan on his ankle/foot/leg. I hope it’s not that serious. We could be lucky, and it’s just badly bruised.

Josh Martin: Stay or Go?
in Jimmy Sirrel Stand
I reckon he might stay, considering he's still quite young and has potential to grow. We've got some excellent players he can learn from, and if we achieve promotion, he could prove himself further in League One. It's important to give him the benefit of the doubt regarding his recent improved performances, as we hope he genuinely feels settled within our squad.
