JIMBO

Can’t wait for this clash! Gillingham might be a strong side, but we’ve got the upper hand with our recent form at Meadow Lane. The way Maynard has the lads playing, especially with such cohesion in attack and defence, makes me confident. The midfield battle will be crucial, and if Crowley can dictate the play as he has been, I see us coming out on top. Here's to maintaining our unbeaten run and staying at the top of the table. COYP!

The glowing comments for Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley are absolutely spot on. They make it difficult for opponents to play against us. I also want to praise the defence, even though there was a slip-up and Alex Bass could have done better before we conceded the second goal. The players are looking very good as a team. It was important that we held onto Jodi and Crowley in January.

This contract extension is massive for us. Jodi has been top-notch, and I’m glad he’s committed to Notts County. His performances have been outstanding, and he brings so much energy and skill to the team. It’s not just about his talent on the pitch, his positive attitude and dedication are also invaluable. Having Jodi on board for a longer period gives us stability and confidence. It shows that he believes in the club’s vision and wants to be a part of our journey. This commitment will surely inspire his teammates and the fans. I’m excited to see what the future holds with Jodi continuing to play a key role for Notts.

It’s the best news we could have hoped for at this stage. Yes, some fans will be hoping that Dan Crowley follows, but Jodi Jones committing is a big significance for Notts. He’s a class player, with concerns due to his previous injuries, but it hasn’t stopped him lighting up Meadow Lane. He’s a great talent, deserving to be considered a legend, and it’s nice to see the club able to sort out his deal. It gives us strength and less worry, as the club might have had to start considering replacements had it not happened this early in the season.

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.

David McGoldrick’s goals were pure class. Credit to the team for remarkable performance. The team showed great depth and resilience. Controlling possession and creating chances, they looked confident all match. Brilliant effort, Notts!

I’ve been really impressed with Alex Bass since he joined us. You can see from these comments that he’s really happy to be at Notts County, and that kind of positive mentality can make all the difference on the pitch. It’s clear that he’s got the backing of the manager, which must give him a lot of confidence going into every game. I also like how he talks about wanting to get involved with the play, not just make saves, which shows he’s in tune with modern goalkeeping. Hopefully, he can keep this form up for the rest of the season!

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.

Jatta did very well when he first arrived; he seemed to fit in nicely and has taken the chance to be our main striker. He has scored goals, and not every game will suit him to start, but even so, he will still get opportunities. Sometimes, I think his height could make a difference when coming on from the bench, but right now, he is crucial for starting matches.

I wouldn't make unnecessary changes, as the team is improving and the starting eleven is showing signs of progress. I would just make sure we have options on the bench, just in case. I believe Curtis Edwards, having started against Grimsby Town, should keep his place in the team. Dropping someone who is in form and choosing someone who hasn't performed well sends the wrong message. Start with confidence, and if changes are needed, bring on the quality we have on the bench.

Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley are players who would be hard to replace, at least on a like-for-like basis. It's important that we don’t have to change our approach, as these two fit our system well. They will show their worth against Swindon, which is where we need to concentrate.

Notts played some superb football. Some of the long-distance passing would have been fitting in the Championship. Curtis Edwards looks to have one hell of a pass on him. The number of long upfield passes he made put Grimsby on the back foot. I was more impressed with him than I was with Dan Crowley. Crowley had a great game but grew in confidence after his second goal. Edwards played exceptionally well throughout.

Dan Crowley was on fire! His performance was nothing short of spectacular. He controlled the game with his skill and vision, making it difficult for Grimsby to keep up. The entire team played brilliantly, showing great teamwork and determination. Grimsby simply had no answers to our relentless attacks. This win has boosted our confidence, and I am excited for the upcoming matches. If we continue to play like this, we have a great chance of achieving our goals this season.

It’s so good to see Curtis Edwards bounce back after the errors he made in the cup match. His performance against Grimsby was top-notch, and he was everywhere on the pitch. He showed great resilience and determination, proving that he can learn from his mistakes and come back stronger. His passing was precise, and he made several crucial tackles. This kind of performance is exactly what we need from him, and I am excited to see what he will do next. If he continues to play like this, he will be a key player for us this season.

Absolutely thrilled with the way Notts played, especially in the second half. Fleetwood set the tone early on, but our boys didn't let their heads drop. Jatta's goal was perfectly timed to reignite hope, and we rode that wave of momentum right to the end. The penalty was nerve-wracking, but fair play to Jodi Jones for keeping his composure under immense pressure. @ARLukomskii’s vlog does justice to the rollercoaster of emotions experienced during the match.

As we approach our match against Fleetwood Town, there's a lot riding on this game for Notts County. The team showed resilience with a draw against Tranmere Rovers but then faltered in the League Cup. This inconsistency needs addressing if we want to challenge higher up the table. Fleetwood is no pushover, especially with their strong start, but home advantage at Meadow Lane could be key. I'm particularly eager to see how Alex Bass performs in goal, he’s been a standout so far. Our defence needs to be on alert, especially from set-pieces. Let's create an electric atmosphere and cheer the lads to victory.

I understand the frustration with conceding two goals and then a third, which puts Notts on the back foot, needing a late equaliser even after dominating the first half with a good showing. Jatta coming on and getting the goal needed to go to penalties is a plus. I am glad he has got his first goal; he just needs one in the league now. I am not that disappointed; I think the three changes came at the wrong time. I don’t think Stuart Maynard did it to throw the game; I believe he wanted to give players more minutes on the pitch. It might have made sense to bring on Alex Bass, as Sam Slocombe did seem to struggle with the pressure and how the Notts defence went. It made more sense to consider this.

Reading about Fleetwood’s pre-season and new acquisitions, particularly Mark Helm, makes it clear they’re a team reborn. Their quest for a striker seems to be the final piece of their puzzle, and once addressed, they’ll likely be even more formidable. Facing Notts, they’re likely to be brimming with confidence, especially after their recent cup win. For Notts, it’s about rediscovering our form and ensuring that every player contributes effectively. The match will indeed demand a lot from us tactically and mentally. Let’s hope our squad lives up to the challenge and delivers a performance worthy of our expectations.

We dominated the possession, but need to be more clinical upfront. Still, a promising start!

Numerous alterations were made around the 70th minute, but there’s no cause for concern. It’s pre-season, and the players are still getting into their stride. Kudos to York for their comeback, but I’d be content with a draw in a friendly match any day. Has there been any update on why Dan Crowley was taken off? How severe is his injury?

I’ve seen him play for the youth team, where he did fairly well. However, from what I remember of his time in the first team, he often seemed nervous. I wish him the best of luck. He’ll need to develop a strong will.

The transfer was bound to happen at some point. In my view, it’s better than losing him in the middle of the season, which could have been devastating and more difficult to recover from. On the other hand, we now have the pre-season and time to bolster the squad. I’m pleased that the club is now attracting fees, rather than losing key players for free. I just wish we could have had him for one more season.

I’m really impressed by his commitment to both his personal development and the club’s goals. It sounds like he’s ready to give his all and make a significant impact. Notts County fans have a lot to look forward to. Best of luck to Nick on this exciting new chapter!

While some might see fixture congestion as a hurdle, Maynard appears to view it as an opportunity to solidify team dynamics and test the squad's depth. The return of David McGoldrick is a massive morale booster but balancing the squad’s health with the goal of point scoring will be crucial in the weeks ahead.

I was impressed by Maynard's balanced view on the controversial goal situation. Instead of dwelling on it, moving forward with a focus on improvements and positives is a great lesson in resilience. It’s this kind of leadership that can make a real difference over the season. His mention of the team's performance deserving more points than they have is both a nod to the squad's efforts and a rallying cry for future matches. The anticipation for the tactical battle against Crewe is palpable, and Maynard’s confidence is reassuring. It will be interesting to see how the adaptability he praises plays out in this important clash.
