  1. That’s a splendid team, with cherished memories of watching them in action. Les Bradd and Brian Stubbs will forever be icons of Jimmy’s squad. Bradd could have played at a much higher level, but thankfully he had spells with us in the old first division. I still believe he could have been one of the best.
  2. One of the primary attractions of the Pride of Nottingham is its well-written and enjoyable articles. Unlike content from the BBC or Nottingham Live, which is often merely skimmed on social media, these pieces command attention.
  3. Luke Williams' approach of protecting his players and not making minor mistakes into bigger issues. It's crucial to support them during challenging moments and help them grow. Mistakes happen to everyone, and it's through support and encouragement that players can learn and improve. Good players can force mistakes, regardless of the performance of the opposing team. Williams' focus on the development of the players will ultimately lead to improvement and better performances in the future.
  4. The match provided a truly enjoyable viewing experience. Our impressive turnout of supporters added to the joy of the occasion. Even if we had brought along just 1,000 fans, I believe their enthusiasm and noise level would have been just as remarkable. Such passionate backing is truly remarkable and must be sustained. The special bond that has formed between the fans and the club needs to be nurtured. Victories like this should serve as stepping stones for the future. The goals scored during the match were all expertly constructed and executed.
  5. Macaulay Langstaff's story of achieving his first FL goals showcases perseverance, confidence, and teamwork, vital skills in sports and life. His composed demeanor amid external scrutiny and personal pressure, coupled with his striker's mindset, is evident in his words, "If I’m not getting the chances then I’m doing something right." His ability to anticipate scoring opportunities and trust in the team's strategy is commendable. He's a player who seamlessly combines personal ambition with team goals. The team's shift towards set piece scoring underscores adaptability and strategy. Alongside Sam Austin's standout performance, this highlights collective efforts towards Langstaff's milestone. The story reinforces that triumph is not just about individual performance, but also about effective teamwork and a strong collaborative spirit.
  6. Brilliant photos capturing the fans' emotions and camaraderie. Well done, @Chris!
  7. Amidst the thrill and action of the match, what stood out was the spirit of teamwork and camaraderie among the players. Notts County really showed their prowess on the field, dishing out a wonderful performance. ARLukomski, you did an amazing job with the vlog, it lets us relive the heart-stopping moments from our team's victory.
  8. Luke Williams' thought process behind the team's performance does justice to the corrective measures taken since the beginning of the season. His critical analysis of the team's performance serves as a reflection of effective leadership. Furthermore, the recognition he's given to individual player performances such as that of Macaulay Langstaff, is indicative of how closely he's working in unison with the team. This connectedness can provide the players the necessary encouragement they need to continue performing well.
  9. I am among the 2500 fans embarking on the journey to Doncaster tomorrow, and I'll be accompanied by a friend who isn't particularly interested in football. I believe this match offers Notts a favorable opportunity to secure points on the table, a viewpoint I concur with. If Notts manages to unsettle them, their position in the league could work to our advantage. If they become frustrated and agitated, it might result in errors and potential opportunities for us. Our ability to craft better chances needs to be enhanced, and we must capitalize on any clear opportunities that come our way.
  10. Turn those adversities into character-building moments! We've seen that happen with Notts, and John Bostock has simply put it in words. Let's take heart from this message, support our lads, and look forward to an emphatic finish.
  11. Luke Williams' honestly realistic approach is refreshing. Rather than brushing over the challenges, acknowledging focus lapses is a positive step in improvement. His mutual respect and connection with the fans also speak volumes about his management style.
  12. The single point earned is a commendable outcome, especially considering the clean sheet. There's no reason to feel disheartened. The players performed admirably in certain moments and managed to generate opportunities. The indications suggest that progress is being made, and as a fan, that's all I can hope for.
  13. I am hoping the win gives the team confidence to move forward from here, the first win is important but so is protecting it when you do win. I don't know if Luke Williams will get the same level of performance, but I do wish from a defensive point of view that we don't gift any goals. We need to make it harder, make teams work to score, but I do see the game being open. A draw is probably a fair call at this stage.
  14. Notts put on a good team display, and Jodi is right about the importance of the win. The atmosphere at Meadow Lane was very good; even the Derek Pavis stand, where I was sitting, joined in. It’s very much like Notts to play in a manner that makes them the underdogs in games, and I don’t really mind that, as long as it’s not too much of a setback. At 2-1, I thought it was over, but thankfully Jodi Jones showed his class with those two crosses.
  15. I must confess, as much as the drama increases the adrenaline, it'd be a relief to see a thorough, calculated win without giving the fans mini heart attacks. I hope Williams holds steadfast on his aim to reduce that. In addition, the controlled aggression during those first and second balls could be a game changer for the team if we can maintain that intensity across the game. Who else felt the ground shaking from the support? Absolutely wonderful to be a part of the roaring crowd.
  16. Notts showed great character to come back from behind twice and claim all three points in a thrilling match at Meadow Lane. It's never easy to come back from behind, let alone twice in one match, but Notts County showed great resilience and determination to do just that.
  17. Notts seems more than ready for the upcoming season. The comments by team’s captain, Kyle Cameron, suggest that they are approaching the season with not just a lot of optimism but also with a realistic understanding of the challenges they'll face in the League Two. I see this as a great combination reflecting both their dreams and their conscientious preparation. However, not everything may follow the script. So, it’s essential to keep the morale high even if we face any hiccups on the journey. I fully back the team to rise to the occasion and make us, the fans, proud.
  18. It’s clear that Williams’ tactics are working wonders, particularly when you consider how well the team performed against Forest. I can’t wait to see more of this tactical brilliance throughout the season!
  19. The game wasn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. I think Notts worked the ball well and looked quite good on the ball. I wish Cedwyn Scott had a bit better service to him, but Shrewsbury defended well. They looked just as inconsistent as us in other areas, but I do think Notts looked the better team. A draw was a fair result in my opinion.
  20. Very impressed by the in-depth introspection Williams has done for the team's preparation. Fatigue injuries might seem minor right now, but they could escalate if not reined in timely, shedding light on this issue is definitely the right move. Will Randall's repeated injuries could be a trend we don't want often, here's hoping the medical team figures it out soon. In addition to physical preparation, Williams' focus on strong player relationships and maintaining a supportive environment is equally noteworthy. This holistic strategy for mentoring the team and fostering a team spirit screams of a well-rounded approach to management. I'm keenly awaiting our boys to represent Notts in League Two.
  21. Williams' mixed feelings resonate with a significant number of us fans. It's clear that improvement is necessary, especially when considering that they need to assert themselves in the league season, but we need to remain patient. It's important to allow time for Williams and the team to adjust, find their feet and improve collectively. Pre-season games are meant to be platforms to build up the team's confidence and iron out any flaws, not just to win.
  22. The performance of Notts was one of determination, but I wouldn’t criticise Alfreton too much. We are two levels above them and played direct football against the best of the National League, which other teams in the same league struggled with. Alfreton have made a fair few signings, so I would take more note of how Notts played.
  23. Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham site @JustLikeJuve.
  24. The signing of Tipton is a much-needed boost to our defence. His academy performances and leadership roles all point to a young man ready to step up and contribute significantly at this new stage in his career. It's promising to see that he is confident in his theatricality, as well as being comfortable on the ball. His hope to start attacks showcases his proactive mindset. Let's hope his transition to Notts County is smooth and that it's a symbiotic relationship - we support his personal development and he propels us towards our goals for this season.
  25. Great to see the lads rewarded for their dominant performance. The match wasn't a thriller but we looked comfortable on the ball, and Scott's winning goal reminded me why I can't wait for the new season to officially start.
