  1. Welcome to PON, @Up the Maggies. Good to have you on board.
  2. Welcome to PON, @Morten Johansen. Good to have you on board.
  3. Welcome to PON, @TimB. Good to have you on board.
  4. Notts were fortunate to retain him the season following our promotion. Once the fans settle down and view the broader perspective, I believe most will realise that denying Macaulay Langstaff the opportunity to play at a higher level is somewhat self-centred. While I would have relished the chance to see us ascend with him once more, we are in a phase of growth and sometimes that requires financial investment.
  5. Hayley Turner, we take pride in you. Your name will be etched in our memories. You are one of our own!
  6. Macaulay Langstaff is a refreshing presence, a born striker that the club has been on the lookout for years. At last, Notts has a gifted striker who could make a significant mark if he stays for a few more seasons. However, I recognise that at his age, he will have his own aspirations.
  7. Welcome @BiggestPieInGlasgow! Good to see a new member join.
  8. What a fantastic read! Nick’s heartfelt words about his time at Crawley Town really struck a chord. It’s clear that he genuinely cherished his time there and appreciated the support from the fans. Transitioning to Notts County seems like a perfect fit for him, especially considering their ambitious plans and style of play.
  9. Alex Bass seems like the perfect fit for Notts County. His experience from AFC Wimbledon, combined with his obvious enthusiasm and calm demeanour, should make him a valuable asset to the team. I’m really intrigued by his comments on the club’s atmosphere and potential for promotion. Goalkeepers with his level of focus and drive can really make a difference in tight matches, and it's reassuring to hear that he’s keen to develop further. Here’s hoping he can help us secure that much-needed promotion!
  10. Welcome, Nick Tsaroulla! It's really exciting that we’ve signed such a talented player. His performance at Crawley, especially that incredible goal against Leeds and helping them secure promotion, makes me optimistic about what he’ll bring to our team. His versatility on both flanks and defensive strength offers much-needed flexibility. I believe he will blend in well with our current line-up, adding depth and experience. Thanks to Crawley for nurturing his talent; now, it's our turn to benefit. Looking forward to cheering for you, Nick. Best of luck!
  11. I've been lurking for a while, but this nudged me to finally participate actively. Following the ‘Jimmy Sirrel Stand’ forum has been enlightening. Hats off for urging us to utilise this, it will make the fan experience more enjoyable, and I’m here for it.
  12. I get it, but as an outsider, I don’t think protecting the players from defeats is necessary. It might be something Luke Williams prefers, I’m not sure, but it does affect the information coming from the club. Every player can provide a unique perspective, even in defeat.
  13. I’m tired of encountering negativity online. It’s not beneficial for me, and it certainly isn’t for Notts. I understand and share the frustration with the defence, but we need to move on. We won’t win every match, and if we persist in feeling frustrated by every occurrence, no progress will be made.
  14. From what I’ve observed, it’s a good signing. I agree that he has more to contribute and display, but that will come with time.
  15. I believe a more straightforward approach could alleviate issues at the back. It would be beneficial to ensure we’re not left lacking or with few options to pass the ball when under pressure. However, I don’t think having three robust centre backs familiar with the position would make a significant difference.
  16. While it's clear that our performances haven't been up to scratch, Williams' critical analysis and call for change have provided a route for growth. His focus on building up properly, making forward passes instead of turnovers, and being assertive in defence, shed light on gaps we can fill. This insight into the complexity of managing a team gives fans like myself perspective on how layered improvements need to be. We may be down, but Williams, with his experience and commitment, seems the right man to lead Notts County out of this slump.
  17. Williams is setting the tone right for the upcoming matches with his positive and constructive attitude. The match against Harrogate is an opportunity to demonstrate that we have learned from our past mistakes. Optimistic as always, let's push ahead with the same attitude!
  18. It's a great bit of insight about the key players from both sides, this. The talk about Macaulay Langstaff has been getting louder and one can't help but hope he gives us another goal fest tomorrow.
  19. If we succeed in finishing in the top three or advance through the playoffs, all of this will be overlooked. It might also turn out to be a hidden advantage. I can’t remark on the performance as I’ve only seen the highlights, which keep me up at night, but I can say we’ve faced much tougher situations and emerged stronger. Let’s stand by the players, because they were rewarded last week and with our backing, they might just do it again this time.
  20. In the early 90s, Oldham had a highly skilled team that was rapidly broken up due to the sale of their key players. It’s a pity because they had a thrilling style of play at that time.
  21. O’Brien’s goal despite playing from a deep position was a pleasant surprise! It shows his adaptability and willingness to push boundaries on the field.
  22. Junior's journey from injury sheds light on mental toughness and the importance of being a supportive presence off-field. His firm grasp of the game's challenges, unrelenting passion, unwavering commitment to excellence, and deep regard for teamwork make him a great footballer. Hats off to Junior!
  23. I would prefer owners who are clever, courteous, and also passionate about other clubs any day of the week over those who treat their fans and clubs poorly. Good owners are hard to come by, so best of luck to Wrexham.
  24. What are the odds that a single goal will once again determine the away score? I anticipate a very close game, with several good opportunities but not many clear ones.
  25. England could have certainly performed better. I believe Harry Kane was left alone for much of the early game, which seemed to benefit Malta more than us. We started to improve once he received support. However, I’m not concerned about the performance or the fact that England only scored twice. The task was completed and that’s all that matters.
