BromPie

Good signing! He must have a good pedigree of skill, being with Everton for so long. I am encouraged by the signing, as he can be moulded and encouraged to use his natural ability to help us progress.

These days, all sites commonly use email and a password, so I am fine with that. I have been guilty of forgetting my username on other sites, especially in the past. That's why I joined PON as BromPie; I threw two things together and it's stuck. Thanks for providing these updates. I do agree with everyone that it would be nice to know what's going on when the site is offline.

Very routine comments, nonetheless it's good to be welcoming Will Jarvis to Notts.

Great video! The break from the back around the 3 minute and 9-second mark is a joy to see from an above angle. I do think we, as a team, need to be more aware of how the space is opening up. To the left, it was clear to me just how much space had become available to play into. It might be harder to see at ground level, but that's where drilling in to glance around the pitch helps.

This interview is a great insight into how much players like Jack value the fans. His appreciation for the support at Meadow Lane says a lot about the connection between the team and the supporters. It’s also brilliant to see him acknowledge the senior players’ mentorship, it’s a reminder of how important experienced heads are in shaping the future of the squad.

Happy Birthday, Shaun Derry. See you at the lane in the future at some point, hopefully.

The game deserved a draw, as both teams put in a solid effort. It's a shame we couldn't secure that fourth goal to take it to penalties, where I fancied our chances of clinching the win. The Peterborough players appeared to assume they had already won, based on their premature celebrations after their first goal. I was heartened when the referee quickly intervened, urging them to move on. Notts showed great resilience and determination, making it an evenly matched contest right until the end. This determination and fight deserved more than the final score reflected.

Neil Warnock brought pride back to Meadow Lane during his tenure. Happy birthday to one of the best to ever manage Notts!

George Abbott impressed me the most with his confident play and relentless effort, despite the loss.

Looking at Leicester’s situation, it’s clear how important it is to find the right manager. I think they have made the wrong appointment in Ruud van Nistelrooy. I am more than happy to admit if I get this wrong, but if this was Notts I would be questioning the club's ambition and logic behind it. If Leicester succeeds, they deserve credit. But right now, it doesn't seem that it will turn out rosy for them. We’ve got a good thing going ourselves, and I believe we’re in safe hands, so I just wish them well.

The way Sam describes the FA Cup gives me goosebumps. His memories with Kidderminster remind us why this competition holds such charm. Facing higher league opposition like Peterborough won’t be easy, but Sam’s professionalism and the team’s preparation – from practising penalties to building confidence. is precisely what is required. Let’s hope we make it past the third round for the first time in years.

This match could be a defining moment for us this season. Winning against a League One side would boost confidence massively, not just for the players but the fans too. Peterborough have their strengths, particularly in attack, but I think we’ve got enough quality to trouble them. It’ll be important to stay disciplined defensively, we can’t afford another game like Shrewsbury Town in the League Cup. I’d also like to see us play with no fear. The FA Cup’s about daring to dream. With a strong travelling support behind the team, anything’s possible. Let’s hope for a memorable performance and maybe a goal or two to celebrate.

The youth team have done a fantastic job to get to this stage. Beating Kempston Rovers and Burton Albion wasn’t easy, so it shows how much grit and determination these lads have. Facing Fulham will be a huge test, but it’s also the kind of game that inspires young players to dream big. I think it’s brilliant that the coaches are focusing on improvement and giving the lads tools for future success, not just focusing on the result. I’ll be there on Sunday to cheer them on, and I hope they leave everything on the pitch!

Could it be that there is pressure from the FA, and the owners are having second thoughts about continuing their reign? Pure speculation, but I do agree with @Robbie, something is amiss here.

David McGoldrick shows that players can feature as part of a promotion-fighting team even at his age if managed well. Modern fitness techniques have allowed him to perform at a high level, and this season he has put in some incredible displays, which still demonstrates that he could have remained at Derby County. The Rams might wish they had a player like him for his quality, experience, and leadership, which are invaluable in a competitive league. McGoldrick's continued contribution on the field is a testament to his dedication and professionalism, qualities that every team would benefit from.
