    Welcome @Jon Lowe, the Pride of Nottingham is a fantastic site to discuss and read about Notts.

    Welcome @Peter Speers, the Pride of Nottingham is a fantastic site to discuss and read about Notts.

    I’m always surprised by how little attention financial issues in football get until it’s too late. Partick Thistle’s problems highlight how precarious things can be, even for well-supported clubs.

    Having low expectations might be a good thing. I think some of our fans will be hoping for a draw but expecting a defeat. Notts will need to show their quality in a game like this. I do think it will be quite scrappy and slow at times. I hope we can do well, but all I ask for is a good performance.

    All this hassle doesn’t look good for English football. You can’t have teams being charged with breaking rules but still allow them to get away with it. It creates a mockery. What is the worst Man City will face? A fine? A transfer embargo?

    Yes, I agree. I thought he was superb at times. I would like to see more from him in league games. He has been a reliable addition, but he has this quality about him that I would like to see more of.

    I think Aidan Stone has handled himself very professionally and has been respectful of the club’s wishes. However, I am saddened by how he’s been pushed out of the team completely without being given any chance to gain redemption from last season. Alex Bass is obviously a classy keeper, but Sam Slocombe won’t be around forever. Stone could have improved with this current defence and how it is shaping up. I just don’t think it worked for him, but as I say, he’s tried and worked hard despite being cast aside.

    Brilliant memories of a very good Notts team that defended well to keep the win intact. I would have been there, somewhere in the main stand then. Coming back is what that team was all about. Eric McManus was a good keeper! I don’t think he could see the first goal until it was too late. It wasn’t a lack of concentration like Hugh Johns claimed.

    Playing away at Morecambe is always a challenge, but it’s encouraging to witness Maynard’s trust in the team. Our performance against Gillingham was commendable, even if the scoreline didn’t reflect our efforts. That’s the nature of football, isn’t it? The important thing is to maintain those high standards. Morecambe’s pressing style is something we need to be wary of, but I firmly believe our squad is up to the challenge. It’s unfortunate about Jatta, but player welfare must always come first. It’s truly inspiring to see young talents like Kameron Muir getting their opportunities. Tomorrow’s match is crucial for us to regain our footing and keep our momentum in the league. Our fans deserve nothing less than an outstanding performance!

    I dread to think how serious it could be, or how long he might be out. Jodi Jones is such a key member of the squad. Although someone else can step in, it will have a big impact if the news is bad.

    Bedaeu would be my Man of the Match. I thought he was a rock at the back and bright with his passing. He feeds David McGoldrick so well for a defender. You could easily forget that’s his position with how much he gets involved.
  12. lambleypie
    I believe it’s a record that won’t be broken in my lifetime. I hope Les Bradd keeps his record because he deserves it. He’s a legend and a fantastic player. It might be beaten one day, but not for many years.
  13. lambleypie
    Happy Birthday, @CliftonMagpie! Enjoy your youth and make the most of every moment. Have a fantastic day!

    It’s good to read the news of Jodi Jones extending his stay at Notts County. He’s a very talented footballer who can make a difference in games. We’ve struck gold again by agreeing terms. This will be his third deal with the club, the first being the loan signing. Retaining players of his quality has been long overdue. I’m happy to see this, it’s further signs of improvements around the club.
  15. lambleypie
    Six games in, Notts are looking strong. I’m mindful that we started strongly last season, but I think the squad’s depth will help keep players match-sharp and fit, so nobody ends up being overplayed. I’m sure Stuart Maynard will have pondered what his starting lineup should be. A good week in training and the attitude to start well on the day, fingers crossed Notts will get off to a flying start.
  16. lambleypie
    Throw the book at them. We know that some of the changes they have broken. It’s time they settled it, instead of trying to get away with it. I hope the Premier League also learns to be stricter in the future. Some clubs wouldn’t be treated like this; in fact, most wouldn’t.
  17. lambleypie
    He has settled in rather well. He looks like a player who has been with the club for more than just a single pre-season. I think defensively, Notts are making big strides forward, and I am hoping to see more clean sheets at Meadow Lane.
  18. lambleypie
    Pleased to see Jim and his boy back. He got a good reception, and it was a nice surprise. I didn’t know anything about it. I don’t know if Notts had announced it before.
  19. lambleypie
    Myles Weston, the ex-Notts winger, now plays for Bromley. I believe he signed for them back in 2023.

    Eriksson’s time at Notts County was brief but incredibly impactful. His arrival brought renewed hope and excitement to the club, attracting global attention. Despite financial troubles and the collapse of promises from the consortium, Eriksson's leadership saw Notts promoted to League One. His selfless decision to waive his payoff to facilitate a takeover was an act of genuine care and respect for the club. Under his stewardship, the Magpies experienced a period of transformation and ambition. Eriksson's legacy at Meadow Lane is one of inspiration, hope, and enduring spirit, making his impact on the club a cherished memory for fans.

    Keeping Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley is imperative if we want to progress. They are both head and shoulders above anything in this league. A couple of decisions went our way for a change, but even so, it was a well-deserved win. Credit to the 1,400 Mariners who travelled and helped make a good atmosphere. The game was a credit to League Two.
  22. lambleypie
    It should be a fairly decent gate again tonight. If Grimsby fans come in good spirit, the attendance should be higher than 10,000. With the home advantage and need for a win, I hope Notts manages to pull it off.
  23. lambleypie
    Jeff Astle was a brilliant player. I was saddened when he left Notts, but I always knew he would win the hearts of another club. His heading and skill with his feet made him a joy to watch. It’s very sad what he experienced later in life.
  24. lambleypie
    I agree, a striker is all that is needed right now. It would be a waste of money to bring in another wing-back as we have cover there. As for attacking midfield, I don’t see the need. A striker could make a difference when teams try to isolate our only striker and have him under control.
  25. lambleypie
    I thought we just needed a bit of luck at times. Jodi Jones was almost marked out of the game, and only his creativity created headaches for Tranmere. A few more shots on target and I am sure the outcome wouldn’t have been a goalless draw. I am very happy with how the squad performed as a whole.
