    What a signing Platt has been. He’s brought a level of organisation and aerial dominance that we’ve lacked in previous seasons. You can tell he takes pride in his defensive work, and that’s exactly what we need. It’s interesting to hear him talk about winning the second ball too, that’s something we’ve really improved on this season. The whole team seems more switched on defensively, and the clean sheet record speaks for itself. Port Vale away is going to be a tough one, but I’d back us to go there and get a result. If we come away with three points, it really puts the pressure on the teams around us. This squad feels like it has a real chance of doing something special this season.

    It's not going down well, is it? It probably will look a lot better in person, but saying it looks nice might still be a stretch. I would have thought Wrexham would have gone for something grander.

    He looks like a very good signing. If he can inject speed and take on players, it would give us creativity in the right area and not just potential goals. I think this might be more of a replacement for David McGoldrick, while he can still influence players around him and help them continue.

    Good luck to David McGoldrick. He's in fine form, and I hope it doesn't stop any time soon.

    So happy for Tsaroulla! He’s been quality all season, and it was only a matter of time before he got his goal. The way he speaks about the team and the fans shows his mindset, he’s all about pushing forward, improving, and staying focused. You can see why he’s such a popular player already. It’s great to hear him talking about the defence as well because we’ve come a long way from last season. Maynard has got them working as a unit, and you can tell the players trust each other. Winning tough away games like this shows we’ve got that extra bit of resilience now.

    I thought the whole squad played well, not just as a team but individually. Alex Bass made everything look comfortable and, although Accrington didn't test him much or pressure us, I think the defence and him made it easier to attack as a platform. Matt Palmer and Nick Tsaroulla deserve praise, but my vote goes to David McGoldrick.

    I think several players had a great game. Rod McDonald did an excellent job in defence, handling threats well. He had a few shaky moments, but he managed most tasks with ease. He headed high balls away effortlessly and dealt with advancing Swindon Town players. It seems a bit harsh to overlook his performance, even though I voted for David McGoldrick.

    This is one of those games where the details matter. Colchester is disciplined at the back, but our squad has the ability to rise to the challenge. Injuries have forced tough decisions, and I like that Maynard isn’t rushing players like Crowley back. It’s good to hear Platt and Abbott might feature, as we’ll need all hands on deck. Maynard’s emphasis on team spirit is key, getting the fans involved and keeping morale high makes a big difference. I’m hopeful the lads can bounce back after Walsall and put on a performance at Meadow Lane.

    I personally feel that Junior Morias wasn't utilised to his full potential while he was with us. His brief appearances showed glimpses of talent that perhaps needed a bit of nurturing with consistent playtime. The club’s decision to loan him out, at a time when we could have used a player like him upfront, still baffles me. With his contract nearing its end, I think we’ve missed a trick here. He might just find the form elsewhere that makes us regret not giving him a fair shot. Signings sometimes don’t work out, but considering our ongoing struggles for goals, giving Junior more playtime could have been beneficial for both parties.

    Neil Warnock the man who gave us hope and belief. You were exactly what the club needed during your time here. Happy birthday, and here’s to many more!

    I’m optimistic about this one, even if the odds are stacked against us. Peterborough United will definitely fancy their chances, but cup football is all about surprises. If we can stay compact at the back and frustrate them, the longer the game goes on, the better our chances. The lads will need to be sharp and take their chances when they come because we won’t get many. I’d love to see Sam Austin play a big part, as he’s got the work rate to turn a game on its head. Whatever happens, it’s a great occasion for the club and the fans, and hopefully, we’ll rise to it.

    I love the detail Maynard gave in this interview. It’s clear he respects The Posh’s abilities but also believes in our progress since the summer. Knowing that the team is practising penalties and focusing on preparation shows we’re taking this seriously. The injury updates are a mixed bag, great to hear about Jodi Jones’ recovery, but it’s clear we’ll have to wait a bit longer for Crowley. Regardless, the focus has to be on playing to our strengths. I’m excited about this match, let’s hope we get a result.

    What stands out for me about Jatta is his ability to adapt to different roles within the team. He’s not just a target man or a pacey runner, he’s shown he can drop deeper, link up play, and bring others into the game. That kind of versatility is invaluable in a squad that’s aiming to push for promotion.
  14. OoooooTommy
    I admire that he watched Notts play before signing, that’s commitment! Shows he understands where he fits in and what the team’s about. Jevani mentioned his struggle with rustiness, seems honest. Playing with Didzy and the others should bring him back to form soon enough.

    It was definitely a gritty performance, but we managed to grab a point in tough conditions. Maynard’s decision to stay calm at half-time and make tactical adjustments paid off; you could see the shift in our play after Brown came on. Barrow were very organised and difficult to break down, so credit to the lads for their patience. McGoldrick’s penalty was just what we needed, especially given the pressure and antics from their keeper. The team showed great mental strength to stay composed in the later stages. Hopefully, we can work on our starts, going behind early puts a lot of pressure on us. Overall, it’s a decent result, and I’m sure we’ll build from here.

    Stuart Maynard has shown significant growth in his management style. Initially met with scepticism, his strategic decisions have proved pivotal in transforming the team’s dynamics. By focusing on building a robust defence and fostering squad depth, he’s created a foundation for sustainable success. The ability to adapt and introduce different styles of play, depending on opponents, shows he's learning quickly. Maynard's management of young talents, alongside veteran players, paints a promising picture for the club's future. It's this balance of innovation and tradition that’s making a real difference on the pitch.

    That was a proper hard-fought win! The kind of match where you’re just hoping we don’t concede because it felt like one goal would be enough to win it. And it was! What I liked the most was the team’s work rate, everyone from front to back was putting in a shift. It’s not always about playing free-flowing football, sometimes you’ve just got to grind out the result. And we did exactly that today. We didn’t create loads of chances, but the one we got, we took, and defensively we were really switched on. Another clean sheet, and another step closer to where we want to be.

    I’m happy to hear that we’re close to having a fully fit squad again, that’s been one of the main issues. Maynard’s comments about being clinical are exactly what we’ve all been thinking. We’ve created so many good chances recently but haven’t put them away. And yes, the refereeing has been poor, but it’s good to see he’s not making excuses. The focus is on us, and that’s the right approach. Hopefully, with a bit more sharpness in front of goal, we’ll get the win today. Let’s not forget Wimbledon are tough defensively, so we’ll need to be at our best.

    I thought Kellan Gordon was class, a very tricky player. He gave Chesterfield a tough time, so he gets my vote.

    Dan Crowley stood out with his performance. I believe we need more creativity in our attack. Our forward play lacked the necessary spark to break down the opposition. Port Vale fans might be pleased with their 1-0 win, but their overall performance was lacklustre. They missed an open goal and relied heavily on defensive tactics, parking the bus at every opportunity. Notts needed to be more clinical in front of goal. Stuart Maynard must ensure we remain unpredictable in our play. Yesterday, we were too predictable against Port Vale, which was disappointing as we didn’t test their keeper enough.

    Dan Crowley gets my vote. It’s close between two other players, but I think we need to see a bit more spark in the attacking department.
