  1. Most supporters are upset by our losses due to errors and subpar performances, but a small group simply doesn’t enjoy winning. I find it hard to believe that the initially disappointed fans would demand Luke Williams’ dismissal. Only those with more extreme views would. As for the match against Stockport County, it could go two ways: they might overwhelm us, or we might put up a strong fight. The result will hinge on our defence.
  2. The quality will never be top-notch due to human mistakes, but to claim it’s nearly perfect through a statistic isn’t really football, is it? If you remove the incorrect decisions, wouldn’t football become dull? It does give us something to discuss after all. I know we’d all like to live in a world where decisions always favour us, but that’s neither realistic nor expected.
  3. Let them carry on, I’ve no interest in Forest and I do feel sorry for Steve Cooper, he’ll be moving on to a better situation.
  4. Hello, welcome to PON @StanfordPie. See you around the community.
  5. Hello, @Robbie__64. Welcome to PON. You will feel at home with us that is for sure.
  6. it's heartening to see a coach who's realistic but determined. Williams' emphasis on continuous growth and learning is the kind of leadership that defines an era for a football team. 'We cannot stand still' - these words should be the club's rallying cry as we navigate our journey throughout the rest of the season.
  7. The council is certainly mismanaging its budget, almost as if they’re living in a fairy tale like Jack and the Beanstalk. While the Tories aren’t likely to improve the situation, they need to be more prudent with their spending.
  8. James Belshaw came through our youth academy and is very much wanted by Notts fans to return.
  9. Luke's pragmatic approach to the team's weaknesses and strengths gives a lot of hope for the games ahead. He correctly points out that success is about maintaining enthusiasm and energy over the long term, not just riding high on a one-off win. The way he bluntly addresses the team's second-half hiccups is commendable. It's apparent that there's work to be done, but one can't help but feel optimistic about the direction the team is moving in under his stewardship. His mention of the January transfer window and potential incoming players to further bolster the squad is definitely something to look forward to.
  10. I don’t believe Twitter competes with a site like this, as this is a community. Fans have formed a sort of network there, which is normal, but it’s not the same as this. I view it more as a platform for quick attention, with a large portion appearing to be people who want to be seen. That’s fine, that’s social media for you. This is about unity and having a constructive discussion on club matters. As for inactive members, only they know why they don’t post, but if they had any sense, they wouldn’t have left in the first place. Nothing prevents people from visiting occasionally if they’re short on time.
  11. I support the idea of the club owning the land and training facilities for security reasons, but I don’t think it should be a priority. The club could consider appointing some trustees to protect them, but it might be too much for a club of our current size.
  12. Seeing the goals conceded was dreadful. I’m not sure what causes it and it would be presumptuous of me to try to explain how it could be fixed as I simply don’t know. Adopting a basic approach to defending seems sensible, and I hope Luke Williams can start to address it.
  13. It would be good to have one or two more centre backs, but given the size of our squad and the players we already have, it seems unlikely that we’ll sign more than one, unless Lewis Macari is included. I’m hoping that by January we’ll sign a defensive leader who won’t get caught out of position.
  14. Congratulations, @Piethagoram and @super_ram! Please continue sharing your thoughts as I really enjoy reading your posts. The votes clearly reflect the high regard in which you both are held within this community. Keep up the good work!
  15. This match could be a great opportunity for Notts to demonstrate our skills, especially with Aidan Stone as our goalkeeper. We should aim to be more composed when we have possession and, with a bit of adjustment to our tactics, we could strive to be solid in defence while still being effective in attack.
  16. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, its good to have you with us @Laura Cameron.
  17. O’Brien's performance in the game against Crawley Town was nothing less than inspiring. His ability to mould himself to fit various positions on the pitch echoed the team's resilience. This flexibility and adaptability are the signs of a true professional and it shows the dedication he has for the game as well as his team. The moment when O'Brien scored his unexpected goal, it reminded me of his never-ending pursuit to push boundaries. The pure ecstasy he must have felt after scoring after such a long time is something we all can relate to, be it off or on the pitch. His acknowledgement of his team's effort postgame epitomised the true essence of teamwork. His humble nature despite such an outstanding performance is another testament to his character.
  18. Absolutely blown away by Junior Morias' performance. Despite his health hurdles, he has consistently proved his mettle. His patience, hard work, and unyielding spirit is an inspiration to many upcoming talents. Can't wait to see him on the pitch giving his best. Notts, let's make those 90 minutes count!
  19. It's vital for Notts to be vigilant against Crawley's counter-attacks. Their win over Accrington Stanley was a testament to their ability to make a comeback. Having said that, Notts is in a favourable position, especially after that glorious win over Bradford City. Fingers crossed, they can maintain the momentum and give Meadow Lane another night to remember!
  20. Dan Crowley has my full support. I don’t care about anything other than his contributions to Notts. Of course, health is important, but his religion doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
  21. Please, let’s try not to criticise the players in the first half if the performance isn’t up to par. Let’s encourage them instead. I have a bad feeling that Crawley might score early, which could lead to a barrage of criticism towards the players. On paper, Notts should be fine, but I do worry about this team when they concede early and start to panic.
  22. I’ve already cast my vote, I did it the day the poll went live. But I just want to say that I hope no one feels overlooked. It’s a nice nod to those who help keep the community running smoothly.
  23. I’m not surprised, it seems like everywhere you look, companies are trying to make a quick buck and getting away with what I consider to be overpricing. These businesses seem to have no qualms about unfairly hiking their prices.
