Archie Mair is a free agent still: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_Mair It does make you think, if the club thought they were good enough to bring in on loan, maybe they’d now look at them again as free signings. It would make sense if they still see something in them. Luca Ashby-Hammond did well after his time with us. Out of the options, I reckon he’s the one with the stronger experience at this point.

I've seen many changes in football over the years, so I believe that, in theory, having a mix of football minds trying to help could be a good thing. It could make a difference, as long as the head coach still feels he can trust his instincts and make his own decisions.

73 years young? Happy Birthday to you @Fan of Big Tone.

Best wishes to Jon Stead on his move to Bristol Rovers. He should do well in his coaching role, and it’s a great step forward in his career.

I have always been a Main Stander, and my season ticket has been in the Derek Pavis Stand for over 40 years. When I was younger, I didn't come as often because of work, but I enjoyed the 80s and decided that I wouldn’t miss home games.

This is awful news. Ian Baraclough has done so much for our club, and I wish him a speedy recovery. I really hope it’s not as serious as it seems.

I'm pleased with his arrival and hope he is ready to compete for his place in the team. As the season unfolds at Notts, I hope he enjoys his time here. He could become part of a select group of talented players who have been given more opportunities, like Ryan Yates and Jack Grealish.

I have always found PON easy to navigate and simple to use. The upgrade changes are a nice improvement. The theme looks much cleaner and less cluttered. It wasn't bad before, but now it feels more streamlined and visually appealing.

Rumble in the Jungle is still one of the most famous fights of all time. His power was frightening, but Ali had the perfect plan. Rest in Peace, Big George Foreman.

Leave politics to social media or the right forums for that. It can be a toxic subject, which benefits nobody when they can't agree to disagree. The way it is currently is only intended to distract and cause inner fights. The best decision is to ban it.

All fans should be able to get along with each other and put aside their differences for Notts. It sounds like the club is taking a more formal approach to past attempts. It's important that the club comes first and any hidden agendas are cast aside. This will attract people who want to feel special or even powerful, but the principle sounds good. The club needs to avoid those bad types and encourage people who are passionate. I am sorry if this comes across negatively. All the supporter groups do nothing for most fans and don't have the appeal to young people.

It's disappointing but we have to get used to this. Staff will see Notts as a stepping stone and I can't blame him for moving. I am just disheartened he decided to rejoin Luke Williams.

Port Vale will be a good indication, regardless of the outcome, of how this Notts squad will react. I am, as always, hoping for a win.

Deeply saddened when I learnt about Mick Walker's death. Notts paid a befitting tribute to him at half time. It's such a sad end to one of the nicest people you could have ever wished to meet. Rest in peace, Mick.

Welcome @Jon Lowe, 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.
