@Wheelbarrow repair man, Some fans might bring up the debt being written off and ask questions that hint at deeper worries. It’s not hard to imagine people wondering if things are really as good as they seem. You could be right that the move was meant to lift spirits and make things look more positive. But if fans have real concerns, they’ll likely look beyond the surface and ask what it really means.

The main thing for me is how the club chooses to set it up and what their approach is. If it's only going to focus on the start of the season and all the drama around it, then I don't think it's worth doing. Those issues could have been dealt with when they happened. I do believe it's important to ask questions, but the way the forum works can take up a lot of time. It often feels like too much effort for too little in return. It could be a good idea to try and get fans involved with the club’s goals. It might help rebuild trust and bring back a sense of unity between the supporters and the club. Even if things like the fans’ forum feel like a waste of time, they do give people a chance to ask questions that might not get answered otherwise. Yes, some questions will be watered down or avoided, but if the right ones are asked, you might still learn something useful. Sometimes it’s about reading between the lines and spotting what’s not being said. Would I ask anything? I think I’d still take the chance. Even if the question gets brushed aside, it’s better to try than to stay silent and wonder. You never know what might slip through. Wouldn't you try to ask at least some?

Alassana Jatta had several chances where he could have done better with his finishing. He was stretching at times, but you’d still expect more effort, especially with how he aimed his shots. I thought Tyrese Hall did well. He looked sharp and might have scored. Scott Robertson caused a few problems too, and Matt Palmer hit a brilliant shot that the Crewe keeper did well to save. It feels like three points slipped away against a team that didn’t deserve more than one. Notts looked the stronger side but lacked that final touch in front of goal. The referee was very inconsistent with fouls. Some were given, others ignored, and it didn’t make much sense. Notts could have had two penalties, and Crewe might say the same. Giving one and not the others needs looking into.

The balance of the game shows how evenly matched it was, but at home you expect us to win. Possession was fairly even, but our use of the ball could have been sharper. Only three shots on target says a lot about how we struggled to break them down in the second half. Matthew Dennis continues to impress though, and it’s good to see him scoring regularly now. Defensively, we weren’t troubled much, yet Bromley still found two goals which sums it up. It wasn’t a collapse, just a case of letting control slip. A frustrating result but one we can learn from moving forward.

It’s encouraging to see the club leaning into data and analysis to shape its decisions. They’re not chasing big names for the sake of it, there’s a clear focus on spotting gaps and addressing them with purpose. That kind of thinking helps you stay sharp in a league where money talks, without getting swept up in it. The approach to the loan market was a real eye-opener. If the link with Spurs carries on, it could be a clever way to bring in strong players without overspending. So far, it’s been smart business and a sign that the club’s thinking long-term.

Interesting to see the way the club is using data and analysis to drive decisions. It’s not just about signing names, they’re clearly identifying weaknesses and trying to fix them in smart ways. That’s how you stay competitive in a league full of big spenders without losing your head. The loan market stuff was eye-opening too. Fingers crossed the Spurs link-up continues because that’s how you bring in quality without breaking the bank. Great work so far.

Players do need a consistent run to build confidence and rhythm, especially in key positions. But if someone isn’t performing, it’s fair to give another player a chance. That’s how competition works, and it keeps standards high. The back four looks like it will be settled. The centre backs and goalkeeper seem nailed on. Wing backs might be less certain, but names like Matt Platt, Matthew Dennis and Jodi Jones are likely to be regulars. It would be good to see the squad take shape early. That helps with understanding and teamwork. But some players, like Kellan Gordon, haven’t quite locked down their spot. The Newport game and the training sessions this week give Martin Paterson a chance to make decisions and set things right.

I believe the club will spend money on new players, but it’s clear they’re focusing more on being sustainable. Under the Reedtz brothers, things seem to be shifting towards long-term planning rather than short-term gain. Some fans are throwing around wild theories, saying the club is getting ready to be sold. I don’t believe that’s true. It looks to me like the money from outgoing transfers is being used for more than just boosting the squad. It’s going into the training ground, The Nest, refurbishing the pitch, safe standing, and new advertising boards. I’m not saying the club won’t pay fees for future signings, I do think they will. But I also wanted to highlight the fact that there are other important areas where that money is going.

Hello, @YoopEyes. Welcome back to the Pride of Nottingham. It's great to see you settling and joining in. Glad you have risen from the background again.

Hello, @Tommy B. Welcome to the PON site. I wish you well and hope you enjoy the community.

Hello, welcome to the PON site @TheBlackHorse. Jump straight into the community here.

I’m really hoping to hear some positive updates from the fans who managed to go. Their thoughts will be the best way for me and others who couldn’t make it to get a feel for how things went. I thought Notts might have shared highlights from the Alfreton game, but there’s nothing on the official site. I don’t see why this game would be any different, but I’m still hoping they’ll post something. It would be great to watch.
