Stuart Maynard’s Optimism: Key Players Return as Notts County Prepares for Gillingham Showdown
It’s good news about the injuries. I’m still worried about Curtis Edwards, but at least we have some players coming back, maybe not for tomorrow, but in a few games' time. I also like how Stuart Maynard is coming across; he’s growing into the role.

Match Preview: Unbeaten Notts County Face Gillingham FC’s Resilient Defence in High-Stakes Clash
We’ve been in good form, and I hope we can keep it up tomorrow. Gillingham seem similar to us, as they’ve had injuries but managed them well. I’m not sure if they have a big squad, but I feel we have a good chance against them.

Dan Crowley: "My Focus Is on Notts. I’m a Notts County Player."
I understand the worry about other teams being linked to him, but I don’t think we need to stress about his contract. Let him focus on his football, and when he’s ready, we’ll know what his decision is. Fans complaining that he hasn’t signed a new deal or saying he’s going to leave don’t have a clue.

Jones and Crowley make EFL Team of the Week (that's all of the EFL, not just EFL2)!
It’s great to see. I’m glad we have players good enough and talented enough to make a team made up of players from all 72 clubs.

Would You like a Notts FA Cup Run This Season?
If that’s the case, I’d prefer an away game because I’ve always been too young to go to some of the bigger cup games we’ve had. Playing big teams at Meadow Lane is great, but it would only change my mind if it was a really big team.

Curtis Edwards Injury
It took him a bit of time to get up after he ran into the keeper, and it looked like he took a knock. It’s a shame because he’s been really good lately.
-
Can Anyone Beat Les?
I don’t think so. I don’t think we’ll have another striker like Macaulay Langstaff. The moment we have someone who scores 18+ goals over two seasons, we’ll lose them, either by selling them or on a free transfer when their contract ends.
-
Match Discussion: Game 7 - The Gills (H)
Gillingham always seem to think they’ll beat us, and they did last season. I think we made it easier for them at times. I hope if we stay strong in defence, they’ll find it harder, and we can play our usual game. I just want to see Notts work hard and try their best. Winning isn’t as important as the effort.

Where are they now : Trialists at Coalville v Notts July 2021
I think the trialists are sometimes just the club trying to see if they can bring in someone who might do well but plays for lower league teams. I also think we might do it to throw other clubs off the scent about who else we’re after.

Weekly chat 16th - 22nd September
It's been a long week, with homework every day, and if you don’t hand it in on time, you get detention, even the first time, with no exceptions. It’s frustrating because I don’t want to stay at school any longer. If you think the homework is strict, it’s worse if you don’t finish your classwork. You get a mark for not finishing, and the more you get in a week, which doesn’t reset until the end of the month, leads to detention. Every 10 marks adds 10 minutes to your time in detention. I hate it, but I’m glad to have a weekend free from it. Our headteacher has a nickname, but I won’t say what it is, it’s not Putin, though.

MK Dons boss targeted by Carlisle Utd
Yes, but it's a risk, and MK Dons is a better option. It would be strange, even if his family is based there. If he does well in his current role, he might move closer. Moving from a good opportunity to Carlisle doesn’t seem to make much sense.
-
Fact of the day #Notts
It would be great to see this continue for as long as possible. Keeping the winning streak would be impressive, especially if Notts can get through a few more matches. However, staying unbeaten is just as important.

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
So many good points have been made about the game. It’s interesting to see them because it shows how we all see the performance differently. The analysis @Piethagoram shared is especially interesting.

Junior Morias to Dagenham & Redbridge on loan.
I just don’t think Notts are ready to make it work. If we think Millwall have treated Macca badly, then just imagine how poorly Notts have treated Junior Morias. It’s great to see him scoring, but Notts will probably sell him for less than what we paid for him.
-
Is It Just Me?
I’d say he’s a bit more toned now and has some definition, whereas before he just looked like a typical footballer. I don’t think it’s that much, though.
-
Stuart Maynard; Is He Winning Over His Doubters?
The really annoying "fans" who are against Stuart Maynard will probably say it's still early days or only credit the squad. However, I think those who were unsure are now starting to come around, if they haven't already. I'm pleased for Maynard, he’s making the right decisions. Others have mentioned it before, but he’s learning professional football as he goes, and it’s good to see it paying off, especially when he could have easily been sacked.

????????Happy Birthday, ARLukomski!! ????
Happy belated birthday @ARLukomski! I'm sorry I missed it. I hope you had a good day at least. I'm really glad you've kept up with your YouTube channel, and I hope you're doing well too.

Who's Your Notts County Man of the Match Against Bromley?
I would choose Dan Crowley because he was key to the game and assisted 2 of the 4 goals. But if I had to pick someone not on the list, I'd say Jatta because his goal was pure class!

Matt Palmer Reflects on ‘Long Road’ to Returning for Notts County
We're better with Matt Palmer than without him. The stats from last season and before show how important he is, with more wins when he's in the squad than when he's out. I agree with Robbie that Stuart Maynard hasn't rushed Palmer back, which could've easily happened, but I do recognise that Notts are stronger in midfield now. It's great to see Matt Palmer playing over 70 minutes and starting!

'Incredible Mentality’: Stuart Maynard Reflects on Notts County’s 4-2 Victory
Notts are performing really well at the moment. Pre-season has been beneficial, but it shows those results don't mean much. Notts need to make this good start count. Going top twice is one thing, but keeping it up over a whole season is tough. I hope we can stay near the top three, but whatever happens, I'm proud of the squad and Stuart Maynard.

How Jodi Jones’ Extension Sets the Stage for Notts County’s Future
Credit to the club for sorting it. Even if a future bid is accepted, it shows his commitment to the club, and it's not like players don't leave eventually. I'd prefer it to be done and dusted so he can focus on his football, rather than having it hanging over him. Many fans were hoping for this, and now we have him until 2027, at least on paper. I love Jodi's ability and attitude.
-
Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
Notts had to adapt to the smaller pitch and its condition. It wasn’t bad, just dry. I think Bromley tried to make it tough for Notts, so credit to them for that. The comeback was even more impressive. Jodi Jones is pure class, but the whole team showed real fight! A very important win, in my opinion.
