Notts County’s Momentum: ‘One-nil Up is Not Job Done,’ Says Luke Williams
Certainly, Simon Weaver has gained a lot of respect for his long tenure at Harrogate Town. It would be great if this stops the constant rumours about Luke Williams moving to another club, but even if he were to sign a lengthy 10-year contract, keeping him here until 2036 on paper, there would still be Notts fans who worry or doubt his commitment to our club, fearing he might leave. Until he proves himself in this league, particularly during our current rough patch, I don't think he'll be leaving anytime soon.

Match Discussion: Game 21 - The Saddlers (H)
It's a good opportunity to secure another win at home, especially with the cold weather arriving and the Christmas period being one of the toughest times in a season. Notts will have to take full advantage of games like this. Macaulay Langstaff could have a great game against their defence if we can perform well enough. After seeing their highlights on the football league show, they leave so many opportunities to be taken. Notts must be at their finest!

Match Discussion: FA Cup 2nd Round - Shrewsbury (H)
Really poor defending led to the goals, but let's remember we're a team that likes to attack. Signing Aden Baldwin was a great move for us, but we can't make excuses for our mistakes. We need a strong defender to lead the way at the back. With some proper training and video analysis, we can fix these errors and become a better team. Our players aren't bad, but our tactics do leave us vulnerable. Shrewsbury did their research, but even though our defense was terrible, we can still improve.

Match Discussion: Game 19 - The Wombles (A)
I'm feeling quite optimistic ahead of our match against The Wombles. Despite their decent squad, I believe we have the talent and determination to take them down. Our midfield trio of Crowley, Bostock, and McGoldrick looks particularly strong, and I think they'll be able to control the pace of the game and create plenty of opportunities for our attackers. With the likes of Langstaff and possibly Austin up front, we've got more than enough firepower to trouble any defense. Of course, The Wombles won't be pushovers, and we'll need to be at our best defensively if we want to come away with three points. Their striker, Tilley, is a real handful, and we'll need to keep him quiet if we want to shut down their attack. But overall, I think we've got the tools to get the job done. A win would be massive for our playoff push, and I'm confident that we can deliver.

Luke Williams on Notts County’s Game Plan Against AFC Wimbledon
Luke Williams comments on Notts County's game plan against Wimbledon have filled me with confidence. His emphasis on playing to our strengths and taking the game to the opposition is spot on. If we can execute his plans effectively, I believe we'll come away with a positive result. Bring on the Dons.

Notts County: A Tale of Two Novembers
Great moments in the history of Notts County include the potential accomplishments of having a striker like Tommy Lawton and a goalkeeper like Roy Carroll in our present squad.

The Road to 5,000: Notts County’s Historic Football League Journey
Notts County is our beloved club, and though we've had our fair share of challenges, it holds a special place in our hearts. While there are several other teams out there, not many can boast the rich history and heritage that Notts possesses within the English Football League (EFL). It's a privilege to stand alongside other esteemed clubs with such a storied past. Here's hoping that, with optimism and perseverance, we can make our way back to the Championship in the future. Fingers crossed for success!

Luke Williams Reveals Strategy for Upcoming Clash Against Colchester United
I'm deeply impressed by Williams's ability to articulate his thoughts so clearly, especially the acknowledgment that league position means nothing on match day. That in itself shows his sportsmanship and understanding of the game. It'll be thrilling to observe how Notts match up against a versatile team like Colchester United.
-
Match Discussion: Game 10 - The U's (A)
We mustn't assume anything as we approach our upcoming matches. There is a possibility that we may encounter difficulties, and Colchester United could very well be one of those challenges. So far, Notts has displayed commendable game management, but I am fully aware that it won't be a straightforward task.

'Long Way to Go’: Notts County’s Luke Williams Keeps His Eyes on the Prize
Luke Williams is on a different level when it comes to management, and his approach demands respect. Although we haven't won any titles yet, our club is in an excellent position. I believe we can strengthen our position even more and turn this season into something truly extraordinary. However, as others suggest, we must focus on each game individually to achieve our goals.
-
Match Discussion: Game 8 - The Ammies (A)
Matt Smith can be described as nothing more than a bully, relying on intimidation tactics against other players. At the age of 34, it is safe to say that he is well past his prime. The main concern lies in his tendency to use elbowing and shirt grabbing as techniques, especially considering that Connell Rawlinson is likely faster. Aden Baldwin would handle the situation better, given Salford's genuine quality and pace. In my opinion, Cameron, Brindley, and Baldwin would form a solid back three. Smith will heavily depend on others to carry out most of the work. I have confidence that Brindley and Baldwin can handle the situation effectively.

Ian Burchnall moves to Wolves as 1st team coach
It is highly probable that Anderlecht did not obtain his approval to remain in the country. Nonetheless, I perceive them in a similar light to Notts and Wolves in relation to FGR. If he does not contribute to their coaching efforts or if the current manager is dismissed, I envision him being clubless once more.

Fact of the day : Cup competitions
62 likes? That's ridiculous. Luke Williams formed a highly esteemed team, and I observed numerous individuals advocating for most of the initial players. I commend him for affording them the opportunity. I am confident that both the FA Cup and League Cup will receive greater importance.

Match Discussion: EFL Trophy - The Wanderers U21 (H)
The Notts team put on a poor display, appearing to be very disorganised and possibly assembled hastily. There was little cohesion among the players, despite showing promise individually. However, the lack of teamwork resulted in Notts suffering. It seemed that Junior Morias, in particular, struggled as a lone striker. As mentioned before, he often went missing during the game, and one could be forgiven for thinking he had been substituted.

Macaulay Langstaff: ‘Proud Moment’ to Score First Football League Goals
Macaulay Langstaff is by far the best natural finisher we have had in years. Some people have said he wouldn’t make the grade at League Two level, much like Kyle Wootton after he left us, but it took him time to hit it off for them. It would be the same for Langstaff, I thought when he hadn’t scored. He’s a far better striker than my comparison, with decent pace about him too. I hope this fuels him further and his confidence rockets, as it’s what we need. Well done, Macca. You’re doing great! Keep up the good work!

Macaulay Langstaff and Jodi Jones lead Notts County to victory against Doncaster
Brilliant game by Notts! You could really see the synergy when Langstaff teamed up with Jones. That volley and header from Langstaff were pure class, and Jones really sealed the deal with his excellent finish. It was a proud moment to see them fight hard till the end. The late consolation goal by Doncaster didn't dampen spirits but highlighted our dominance on the field.

Matty Palmer the beating heart of Notts County
Matty Palmer's partnership with John Bostock is a force to be reckoned with. Their chemistry on the field is unstoppable.

Reedtz Brothers Era "Feels like a good dream"
The last four years have been better than the previous ten, with the exception of the League Two title. It feels strange to be in with a chance of competing for the title again now.
-
Dan Crowley signs
Dan Crowley could have stepped up and become the signing of the season. With all due respect to David McGoldrick, Crowley is at the right age to give his best football and I think he’s an excellent signing for us. Potentially by far the best, despite McGoldrick and Jodi Jones.
-
Match Discussion: Game 40 - The Boro (A)
Win ugly would do me fine. I don't understand why Neal Ardley is insisting on getting the players to focus on the football instead of the results. Winning scrappy right now would do. 2-0 Notts win tomorrow.
-
Match Discussion: Game 4 - The Exiles (A)
If Notts attack Newport like they did in the opening minutes against Newport they will struggle. I just feel they have some imposing players who will look to break up the play with silly challenges. I am expecting a draw considering and it wouldn't surprise me if it ended 0-0.
-
Match Discussion: EFL Cup - The Boro (A)
I thought Notts did very well to lead but questions have to be asked why we stand off players when defending, it always seems a last thought to put in a foot. All they have to do is block the ball at times but they choose to allow runs directly into dangerous positions.

Match Discussion: Game 2 - United (A)
Fans are blaming Nolan but I would agree the fault lies with the defenders and Fitzsimons.
-
Match Discussion: Game 2 - United (A)
I feel optimistic about Notts tomorrow. If Hemmings and Dennis start, they should make a difference and I can see the score being something like 3-1. Cambridge United should be a closer test to see what this side can do, as they have no improved all that much compared to their squad last season.
