  1. Jodiโ€™s focus on scoring more goals can only be positive news for us. Heโ€™s already a fantastic player with his assists, and adding more goals will only increase his value. His adaptability during past seasons is impressive, and having him on the right wing again could indeed unlock another level of performance. The new quality added to the squad sets us up for a strong season, and if we can maintain consistency, promotion is certainly within reach. Jodiโ€™s attitude and professional approach, even during contract negotiations, speak volumes.
  2. Itโ€™s a very good read, with excellent pictures of Meadow Lane. The recent match was brilliant! Seeing David McGoldrick score was a highlight, especially since he came through our youth system. Itโ€™s moments like these that remind you why you support this club. The crowd was electric, and the camaraderie among fans just made it all the more enjoyable. I canโ€™t wait for the next game!
  3. I lost interest. I am of the mindset that Manchester City will be fined a certain amount of money and maybe a transfer embargo, but not before they can further strengthen, and then nothing else.
  4. The attendances are such a good thing to see. Itโ€™s revenue for the club, and the way that Notts operates now, every penny is going to fund all these amazing changes we have seen. I want to see them continue to sustain and hope at times we do see further improvements.
  5. There are doubters and then there are negative nellies. I think he will continue to win fans over if the results keep coming. You can see how organised he has got the squad. There are signs that the football is becoming second nature and fluid. Notts looks much better on the ball and far superior without it. I just donโ€™t think Notts can ever please some of those extremely anti-commenters.
  6. I'm delighted that Jodi Jones has signed a new contract with Notts. His performances last season were exceptional, and he truly deserved the Player of the Year award. His adaptability, moving from the left to the right wing, showcased his flexibility and skill. It's reassuring to hear he's focusing on adding more goals to his game, which will undoubtedly strengthen our attack. The faith shown in him by the club is well justified, and I have no doubt he will repay it with superb performances. His commitment until 2027 is a huge boost, and Iโ€™m confident he'll be at the heart of our future successes.
  7. welcome to this very good site and community for Notts fans, @Alan Carnell. Welcome to PON.
  8. welcome to this very good site and community for Notts fans, @Emma Duffield. Welcome to PON.
  9. I am very saddened to read this thread. Itโ€™s sad to think that one day someone here might no longer be around. I might not be the most active or conversational, but I enjoy reading peopleโ€™s comments. Please tell @AmericanPie I am thinking of him.
  10. All we need now is for Dan Crowley to sign on the dotted line. Jodi Jones is a class player, and his extension will be big news on and off the pitch. The way things are going, I wouldnโ€™t be surprised if Crowley joins Jones. I always felt like he would remain a Notts player.
  11. Watching George Abbottโ€™s first start for Notts was a treat. His reflections on the support and trust from his teammates indicate a cohesive unit, something crucial for any playerโ€™s success. The enthusiasm he displayed with tackles and ball distribution was impressive, and itโ€™s refreshing to see a young player so dedicated to his craft. The fact that he had over 10,000 fans cheering him on must have been an incredible experience. Abbottโ€™s debut might just be the beginning, but itโ€™s a highly positive sign for both him and the club.
  12. The club might be talking to the players about contract extensions. Good players will always be wanted by other clubs, so it's good that Notts County fought off bids. Even if Notts accepted a bid, there's no guarantee that either the player or the club would want to move. As for Mansfield Town, why would Dan Crowley want to join them? Being in League One isn't a good enough reason. They'll soon hit their limit and struggle to be higher than mid-table.
  13. Cedwyn Scott did well last season. I don't think he's not good enough. He just needs a goal and some confidence. Remember, he's playing deeper now, and he's a striker. I can't criticise a player who works hard, even though he's playing out of position. I thought he did well against Accrington Stanley. Maybe if he had played longer, he would have done even better? Notts did everything they needed to do. Accrington couldn't play well or build momentum. They need to improve, but I don't think they'll be higher than mid-table. They need to sign better players. I think they'll be okay and address this in January. Thankfully, David McGoldrick has shown he's still a good striker, but I agree he looked tired after the first half.
  14. Paul Devlin's career is a brilliant example of resilience and passion. From his early days at Tamworth to his pivotal role in Notts County's successes and eventual move to Birmingham, his journey was marked by perseverance. His influence was evident both on and off the pitch, making significant contributions to every team he played for. His story serves as a great inspiration to aspiring footballers, showing that with dedication and hard work, dreams can become reality.
  15. Incredible work, @Chris! The Faces of PON is more than just a collection of photos; it's a historical archive of our beloved Notts County fans. The latest shots from the Accrington Stanley victory are bursting with emotion and pride. Your dedication to attending each game and capturing these candid moments truly exemplifies your passion for the club and its supporters. These photographs not only allow fans to relive their matchday experiences but also build a stronger, more connected community. It's genuinely uplifting to see familiar faces and new ones unified by their love for Notts County. Thank you for your tremendous effort and commitment.
  16. Millwall fans seem keen for Macaulay Langstaff to succeed. Their manager seems to be the bigger problem. That's the issue with signing for a team that doesn't play attractive football and has a manager who doesn't see where they need to improve to help their strikers.
  17. Greg Abbott always seemed like a good assistant to me, with a knack for spotting talent. Maybe not quite managerial material, but a nice guy.
  18. I hope he can focus on his performance. It is not the most exciting signing, but we must give him a chance. He seems like a good player. In the right team, he might play better. We needed more players in this area. His ability to play in different positions will help Notts.
  19. I hope we can keep the players that the club think are part of Notts' future. I'm not worried about losing any key players, but it's important that we make sure the squad has enough depth to handle the demands of the season. With plenty of games, players will get minutes, and maintaining good performance will lead to better form. I don't mind Notts using the loan system to improve the squad.
  20. Enjoy your retirement, Paul Hart. It's nice to be able to spend time doing what you want, so don't rush back to the game. Enjoy the freedom that comes without any work pressure.
  21. Jodi Jones is an incredible talent. I'm sure he still has ambitions of playing at a higher level, but I hope he can achieve that with Notts. His current form looks good enough to give him a chance of being considered for this again.
  22. Don't worry too much about the recent games as it's still early. Swindon Town are playing at home, and the County Ground is a tough place to visit. They have beaten us when we thought it would be easier, so I think it's all about managing the game and taking our chances. Notts has the players to be clinical in front of goal. It should be an exciting game if we continue with our recent performances.
  23. He seems like a very promising young player. I like his attitude and desire to just play football. Defensively, he sounds like a good addition, so I'm pleased to welcome George Abbott.
  24. Abbott's transition to League Two football should be seamless, thanks to his positive attitude and willingness to adapt. Itโ€™s commendable that heโ€™s done his homework on Notts County and appreciates the support from our substantial fan base. His background at Tottenham has equipped him well, and itโ€™s good to know that our style of play wonโ€™t demand too much adjustment from him. George's enthusiasm and adaptability will be crucial as he aims to showcase his talents. Iโ€™m particularly impressed by his ambition to gain first-team experience and his strategic approach to development, including looking towards Englandโ€™s Under-20 squad. Excited to see his contributions on the field soon.
  25. When I was a kid, it was normal for families to support both Nottingham teams. My father and his family would often go to whichever team was at home. I wasnโ€™t interested in the other team, so I found Notts to be more suited to me. Thatโ€™s how most of my family ended up. Forest became quite violent, whereas Notts was seen as a much more family-oriented club. My grandchildren arenโ€™t Notts fans, but my own children grew up supporting the club.
