Luke Williams was praised for giving a good insight into football. People liked hearing his views on Notts and how he explained things clearly. Martin Paterson seems very focused. He looks like someone who wants to use his experience as a player to help the team do well. He talks a lot about results and performances, which shows he means business. There are plenty of positives to take, but I really hope we can start the season well.

Peter Sellers was a brilliant comedy actor. His films always stood out because they were full of laughs. He inspired many people over the years, and his work still feels fresh today. He’s one of those actors who never goes out of style. There’s nothing rude or offensive in his performances. Even younger viewers can enjoy them because he gets the balance just right.

I wonder if Martin Paterson, being a former striker, wants another forward in the team. There’s definitely space for one more goalscorer. It could be important, especially with Mai Traore not quite at the level we need. I think the club might be preparing him to be the third choice up front. I’m not sure what his best position is. I haven’t seen enough good signs from him yet, and he’ll need more time to settle and adapt.

Jodi Jones's potential move to the attacking centre of the field comes with its set of challenges and opportunities. His previous performances show his capability to tackle players and whip in crosses from the wing. However, the central role will require him to adapt quickly to the fast pace and decision-making needed. The advantage is that he'll be more involved in the heart of the action, which might see him contributing with both assists and goals. The key is finding the right balance so that his natural flair isn’t restricted. This season could redefine his career if he succeeds in making this transition smoothly.

Thought it was a very even game overall. Cardiff were a bit more clinical early on and their first goal was well worked, but we came out second half and showed proper belief. Cotter’s goal was pure class, not just the finish but the way he made the space for himself. The way we bounced back from their second shows great character. You can tell there's a stronger mentality in the squad now. Jatta made an instant impact off the bench. Loved the physical battle in midfield as well, Grant and Palmer both put a shift in. Some rust still there defensively, but much more solid than a few weeks ago. If we tidy up the errors, we’ll be in good shape.

Welcome to Pride of Nottingham, @one-two pie where every Notts County fan has a voice. Whether you're here for the latest updates, a bit of banter, or just to share your love for the club, you're in good company.

The loan players we’re bringing in seem to be plugging the holes that would be tricky to sort with permanent deals. I’d like to see Barry Cotter get a run out against Cardiff City, it would be a good chance to see what he can offer. I also hope the club is trying to bring in Neil Warnock and Andy Legg for the match. It’d be a nice way to honour the time they spent with both clubs and give them the welcome they deserve.

Impressed with this one, no nonsense. He’s already got experience in League Two so he shouldn’t be shocked by the physical side. Scored a few for Accrington as well which means he could chip in from set pieces, that’s always handy. You can’t teach height and bravery and it sounds like he’s got both. Let’s see how he does, but on paper this is very tidy business.

I get why some people might worry that a loan player might not give it everything, but Notts is a club that wants to win. If he wants to be on the pitch, he’ll need to play his part and work hard. I think, on paper, this looks like a solid signing. I’m a bit curious if Notts will try to sign Barry Cotter for good if he does well. It sounds like he wants to leave Barnsley anyway. I hope he starts strong and fits in quickly. We could be really exciting down the wings, and with the new players coming into the middle of the pitch, maybe we won’t be as easy to figure out.

Stuart Maynard’s farewell was well done. It’s a good way to leave, especially at a club where some fans never gave him a real chance. I hope he gets another shot and proves himself in the EFL one day. What he did at Notts might not be seen as a failure by other teams, even with the big hopes we had.

The Munto era was wild. It brought loads of attention to Notts and even helped bring some fans back. But over time, a few of those fans drifted away, either because of how the club spoke to supporters or because of the drop to the National League. I sometimes wonder what might have happened if the takeover never went ahead. In another universe, maybe Notts could’ve been the ones replacing Bournemouth or Brentford.

Thanks for the update. Running a site like PON costs money, and I know it must be hard for a smaller community to stand out next to those big-name sites that get millions of visitors. It’s great that a club like Notts has a fan site like this. A big thank you to everyone who helps keep it going and to all the people who support it.

A great breakdown of what’s been a busy and slightly chaotic few months! Norburn could be a cracking addition to our midfield, especially if Paterson gives him freedom to play forward. But the forward line worries me. Jatta and McGoldrick is a nice combo on paper, but injuries or fatigue could really hurt us. With McGoldrick gone, we desperately need someone who can score 15+ goals. I’d love to see a young, hungry striker brought in on loan or even a permanent deal. Defence also needs a bit of steel. We're getting there, but it's not quite ready yet.

I do think it’s a bit poor that it took this long to make what feels like a low-key appointment. Still, as I said, Martin Paterson should get our backing. As fans, we need to support the club through this. If not for the board, then for Notts and the players who gave everything last season.

It is what it is, and there’s not much we can do now. Everyone deserves a fair chance and the support to do their job. This might not have been the choice people expected, but even if the club had gone for someone like Des Buckingham, there’s no guarantee he would’ve been the right fit. I just hope the decision to bring in Martin Paterson was properly thought through, and not something rushed after missing out on someone else. I’m sure that’s not the case, but there is that doubt.

Loving the sound of this Technical Board setup. It’s modern, data-driven and built for consistency. Football’s changed, and if we want to be sustainable and competitive, this is the kind of innovation we need. Gives the manager proper support and accountability without interference. If it works, other clubs will be looking to copy what we’ve built here.

What a disaster it would be if Jatta were sold. Fans aren’t completely satisfied with the new arrivals, and while it’s still early days, losing such a key part of our setup would be a real setback. There will be plenty of rumours, but I won’t believe any without solid proof. So far, we’ve managed to keep hold of our players, and that’s exactly how it should be until next January. I understand that the club needs to sell at times to reinvest in the squad, but the timing has to be right.

Having separate social media accounts is fine, but all news should be on the official site. It feels like the different departments struggle to work together, with each needing someone to do the same job but for separate areas.

I don’t understand why Notts doesn’t announce things like this on the main site instead of using academy accounts. On some days, it would help to fill the space taken up by adverts from league sponsors. I’m happy to welcome Nimesh Patel to the academy setup and hope he proves to be a strong addition to the coaching team.

What a partnership Cedwyn Scott and Macaulay Langstaff could have been for us if we had played them both as strikers. Nonetheless, both are icons of their time with us. Macca is a true legend for all he achieved, and Cedwyn will always be remembered for scoring the final penalty.

I think if he settled and secured a place in the starting eleven, he would be a consistent threat to the opposition. He seems to be moving from team to team, but when he was good, he was very, very good.

As long as the facilities are good and the players can train, I think we’ll be fine. Sharing and having an agreement with somewhere like the University of Nottingham seems like a smart choice. We were never going to be able to stay at Forest, as they will want the facilities for themselves, and it would have been difficult. Owning our own at this level seems unlikely.

I think this is a clever move by the club. He’s clearly not afraid of the big stage, having played City and then gone on to feature in the Championship. You don’t get those chances unless you’re doing something right. What impresses me most is how he’s adapted to different roles, switching from a winger to a midfielder. That kind of flexibility is massive in a long season. He’ll give us options, and with his frame, I expect he’ll win more than his share of duels.

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.
