  1. He could be a good player. Every player is unique and can excel in the right environment. Notts County's style of play should suit him. I hope he has good pace.
  2. What a performance by McGoldrick! He truly stepped up when we needed him most. It was a crucial win for the Magpies, and the defence was rock solid in the final minutes. The team spirit on display tonight was inspiring. Onwards and upwards, Notts!
  3. He did a honourable job with Notts. His time flew by, and the season was very impactful. I am saddened by his passing. Rest in peace, Sven.
  4. Transfer Centre 9 also claimed that Jodi Jones had agreed terms with Wrexham. But we know that there was no real offer or interest. The interest was there before he signed with us permanently.
  5. Most things are a crime down there, at least to some people. Funny skit!
  6. Notts showed how mighty we can be. It helps to ease the worry about scoring goals. It would be nice to see this form on the road, and the performances as I think Meadow Lane will be able to get good results. It’s away from home where I am unsure, but yesterday convinced me to be optimistic about things.
  7. As the season progresses, there’s every chance that if we are doing well, both players will renew. The interest should remain even if they were to extend one year. All it does is increase the amount of money Notts might be able to expect. I can’t see either of them leaving during this transfer window. Hopefully, by the next, we have pleased them enough to convince Dan Crowley and Jodi Jones that we are pushing for promotion. Players love being part of promotion-winning squads, so if the deal isn’t done before the season is over and we miss out, or even if we do, we may have a harder time convincing them with potentially more interest due to them being available on a free, provided their deals are not extended.
  8. Curtis Edwards was fantastic against Grimsby Town. His advanced role allowed him to be more involved and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. What’s great is how he gives credit to the team and the fans. It’s always encouraging to see a player who values the support of his teammates and the positive atmosphere created by the fans. Edwards is certainly a key player to watch this season, and I’m excited to see how he progresses.
  9. A thoroughly enjoyable match! Notts showcased their attacking prowess with a brilliant display. Jatta’s early goal was just the beginning, and Crowley’s contributions were phenomenal. The 3-1 lead at half-time was well-earned, and despite Grimsby’s late first-half goal, the team maintained their composure. Our defence stood strong in the second half, ensuring Grimsby couldn’t mount a comeback. It’s performances like these that make you proud to be a fan. The players’ synergy was evident, and everyone played their part. This victory will no doubt boost the team’s morale. Can’t wait to see more of this attacking flair and resilience in upcoming matches. Well done, lads!
  10. Really thrilled to see Jacob Bedeau making such a positive impact right from his first match. It's never easy to adapt to a new team, especially in the cauldron of League Two football, but Bedeau showed he's more than up for the challenge. Keeping Tranmere Rovers at bay and securing a point at Prenton Park is not an easy task. His calmness and versatility, shifting between positions and maintaining the defensive solidity, were impressive. His comments about the team's philosophy and settling into the game reflect a good understanding and alignment with the manager's vision. Looking forward to seeing more clean sheets and solid performances!
  11. I think a striker would be enough to give us more firepower up top. I do like Jatta starting. I think he’ll thrive playing at Meadow Lane, but he should be able to pick up some goals on the road. So, I wouldn’t want his chances being reduced. I just feel that a striker of a different style would be good in certain situations.
  12. My perspective is that if this was a future game, Notts would have been more persistent with their efforts on goal and would have won it on another day. With it being the first game of the season and the dust of the pre-season having settled, I do like what I see. You can see how more confidence in the defence will benefit Notts going forward with more time and effort. I don’t feel disappointed or that the game was boring. It wasn’t the most exciting, but at the same time, it wasn’t dull. It’s a typical first game of the season, where Notts showed some real quality in the second half. Just one of those chances could have paid off and made all the difference. I don’t think anyone should be complaining.
  13. What a performance from our lads, even if it did end in a draw. We completely dominated the game with over 65% possession - you don't see that too often in an away match. Tranmere's defence held strong, but they were lucky not to concede. Our debutants showed great promise and Bass in particular was a standout. If we keep playing like this, the results will come. Maybe just a bit more sharpness in front of goal and we’d be talking about a win today. Not concerned yet, as it’s early days and the team is gelling. Looking forward to seeing more fluidity and goals in the upcoming games.
  14. I really get where you're coming from. It's evident that your YouTube channel has been a significant part of your life, and deciding whether to continue must be really tough. That balance between personal enjoyment and the pressure of content creation can be challenging. Perhaps giving yourself a break might be good. You could test the waters, step back for a bit, and see how you feel without the pressure. If you miss it and feel motivated again, then return with a fresh mindset. Ultimately, it's about what makes you happy. Your genuine approach will be missed if you take a step back, but everyone's well-being should come first.
  15. It’s always a pleasure to see a young player sign a contract with the club, and to witness all the fans extending their good wishes. Being a young professional is a challenging task, but I always hope they succeed, as their success is beneficial to the club.
  16. A warm welcome to the Pride of Nottingham @jake008! Your presence adds to our community.

  18. Randall’s exit could be a hidden blessing. It seems to have paved the way for today’s arrival, who I hope is a suitable player that can contribute consistently. It’s unfortunate when a player’s tenure doesn’t work out, but I’m optimistic about our future direction.
  19. It seems the club waited until the day before a match to finalise things between Millwall and Macaulay Langstaff. Hopefully, seeing the squad and some trialists will help put people’s minds at ease and provide a new focus. The outcome of the match will only be significant to those who believe that winning friendly matches guarantees success in the league.
  20. England might want to reconsider changing the formation, unless it can truly bring out the best in the squad. We could end up putting more pressure on the defence. Shifting to three centre backs could work, but the question remains, which three do we start with?
  21. Best of luck to Connell Rawlinson on his move, he might find employment with a club like Newport. With the right team, he should be able to extend his career by a few more years.
  22. I’m pleased he’s returned to football, overcoming a nasty injury is no easy feat. I’m confident he hasn’t lost any of his skill.
  23. Connell Rawlinson’s sentimental message shows the true character of the man we’ve come to respect and admire. Reflecting on his five years, we see a player who wore his heart on his sleeve. To hear him describe playing for Notts County as an honour reminds us of his dedication. He contributed significantly, particularly in helping the club achieve promotion back to the EFL. His appreciation for the fans and his parting message show just how much he treasured his time here. Good luck, Connell.
  24. Curtis Edwards joining Notts is a significant boost for the team. His time in Scandinavian football has clearly shaped him into a thoughtful and skilled player. His emphasis on the club's playing philosophy and his eagerness to contribute right from the start are promising signs. It's evident that he values the strategic aspects of football, which will be a great addition to our squad. I appreciate his readiness to take on challenges and his commitment to being part of the team’s journey. His comments reflect a player who is not only talented but also dedicated and forward-thinking. Here's to a season filled with exciting gameplay and success with Edwards in the mix.
  25. I’m delighted with the acquisition of the seasoned Rod McDonald. It’s encouraging to see the club persistently augmenting the squad and signing players for a fee to bring in that additional calibre.
