I voted for David McGoldrick. I was a bit disappointed that we conceded two goals after taking the lead. However, we have to admit that Walsall are a good team. I thought McGoldrick put in a good effort. Alassana Jatta had a quiet second half. He did well to score, but his performance could have been more impactful.

@ARLukomski who do you think Notts County might be more tempted by in the January transfer window?
It’s interesting to see the focus on wing-backs and wingers in this discussion. I think Notts have done well with recruitment under the current setup, but it’s clear we could use more depth in these areas. Players who can contribute defensively and in attack will be key if we want to maintain our style throughout the season.
I’d also love to see us unearth a gem from Scandinavia, as their leagues often go under the radar. A young, hungry player looking for their next step could be exactly what we need to strengthen for a promotion push.

For me, what’s impressive about Jatta is his physical presence on the pitch. He’s got that mix of strength and speed that makes him a real handful for defenders. It’s not just about what he does on the ball, either, his pressing and ability to track back are crucial in how we play as a team. He’s the kind of player who gives everything, and that’s why the fans are warming to him. Sure, he’s not the finished article yet, but you can see the raw talent is there. If he keeps working on his game, particularly his finishing, he could easily become one of the key players in our squad. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.

It’s tough for clubs like Partick Thistle when they face financial issues. It makes me wonder about the state of football as a whole, especially for teams outside the top leagues.
A lot of clubs seem to rely on things like promotion to cover shortfalls, which isn’t sustainable. It’s encouraging to see Notts being run more carefully now after all we’ve been through. Owners who invest wisely and care about the long term are rare.
I do feel for Thistle’s fans, though, as they’re stuck in the middle of it all. It’s easy to take stability for granted until it’s gone. Hopefully, they can sort it out without losing their identity or dropping too far down the leagues.

It’s an easy choice for me. I voted for George Abbott, but I think any of the named players could have been chosen. I thought Sam Austin did really well, as did Matty Platt in defence. But it ultimately comes down to the all-round performance, and Abbott gets it for me.

As I said in the article, this is fantastic news. It’s a big deal for the club because it shows Jodi’s dedication and commitment to playing for Notts. While some fans might be hoping that Dan Crowley follows suit, Jodi Jones signing a new deal is very significant for Notts.
He’s a top-notch player, and although there have been concerns about his past injuries, it hasn’t stopped him from shining at Meadow Lane. He’s a remarkable talent, worthy of being considered a legend. It’s great to see the club securing his deal, which gives us confidence and reduces worries. Without this early-season agreement, the club might have had to start looking for replacements.

I think Notts will do fine. Away from home, we have needed to see more improvements in how we play, but this should start to come. Bromley would regret being defensive, I feel. Bradford City destroyed them when they thought they could sit back. Notts won’t have it easy, but we do have players who can get the goals needed.

It’s been great to see the stands filling up regularly. I still wish the Pavis would get more involved instead of booing and groaning, but it is impressive to see the support.

I hope to see a glimpse of him tomorrow against Accrington. Now that he's in the team and has played a few minutes away at Swindon, we might start to see more of him. It's good that he can play anywhere in midfield but is focused on defending.

I'm less nervous going into games now. I think the squad has the right mix of quality, hard work, and form. The players need to maintain these high standards, especially when there are others eager to get into the starting eleven. It will be interesting to see if Accrington play defensively or try to take the game to us.

I always thought it would take Macaulay Langstaff time to adjust to the Championship. I'm confident he could score ten or more goals if he was given faith and playing time. You can't expect a striker to be immediately successful when they're coming from a lower level. League Two to the Championship is a big step up, and it sounds like they don't play with the same focus on keeping the ball on the ground.

The board can only try to bring in players. Free agents are hard to sign when you have a strong squad, as everyone wants to play. When fees are involved, it always becomes a struggle to bring in players closer to the deadline. From this, I gather that the club will only sell for the right price and sign players who fit our budget. If we had signed five players who wouldn't play, people would still complain.

Notts V League 2's Top Teams
in Jimmy Sirrel Stand
To be fair, we have pulled off some very good results on the road and compared to last season, this has been a big improvement. At home, our record is very good too. Some of the results could have gone our way a bit more, but during that period when we had injuries, we did everything possible to get through it. I do wonder how much Dan Crowley wanting out played into that period and if he was injured or just using excuses to force the club's hand. I am more confident about finishing in the automatic places than gambling it through the playoffs.
