Some players may take note and realise that money isn’t everything. I would prefer to enjoy doing a job I am paid to do rather than one I dislike. I am not suggesting that David McGoldrick disliked his time at Derby, but his decision to opt for less pay in exchange for more enjoyment is commendable.

Jim always presents himself well. I appreciate everything he says, and while others may consider him past his prime, I do not. I believe he performed solidly last season, but not everyone values ageing players. I hope he enjoys playing in League Two and helps us achieve a top-end finish.

Jodi Jones is an exceptional player who even looks impressive playing for Malta. I am delighted that he will be with us for the next two years.

Good signing for Oxford; I do wonder if the club knew or reacted to them breaking the news as it was all very quick. It looks like Ruben was in Portugal, as I saw a video of him wishing us all the best. I repeat that and wish him the same!

Just reading all the comments, you can see what it means to the fans and how Ruben has touched us all. He leaves with my kindness. I will remember him getting the better of most teams quite fondly.

Solid re-signing; Jim is always ever dependable and when he’s needed, he’s the experienced leg that goes that extra distance to help Notts get the result needed.

Good signing. Players often speak with emotion to help their transition across, but I believe every word David McGoldrick says. He’s here to help us progress and I think it’s a great thing.

Fantastic signing, I just hope we don’t lose Rodriguez, he’s one of the best players I’ve seen in a Notts shirt in recent years.

Nice set of pre-season fixtures; it should be a good run for the lads. I am happy that Nottingham Forest has agreed to come back so soon, as this will be a real test for players provided they field a good squad.

Di’Shon Bernard has had some injury concerns but I do think Portsmouth will try to pick him up, he would be a big signing if he was on the Notts radar, otherwise Tom James and Tom Bradbury could do the trick. Decent suggestions, @Chris. Nice write-up!

Randall is a fantastic addition to the squad. He has pace, skill, vision and work rate. He can create and score goals from anywhere on the pitch. He’s exactly what we need to challenge for promotion next season.

This is brilliant news! I am absolutely delighted with the announcement. Now, I'm eagerly waiting for any news about the other players. Come on, Notts County, keep the good news coming!

Well done to Luton for their impressive accomplishment. It's truly wonderful to witness a team of their calibre secure a spot in the Premier League once again. Their return to the top tier of UK football not only demonstrates their ability and determination but also adds excitement and variety to the league for the fans. This achievement will surely be a catalyst for Luton's continued development and success on and off the pitch in the years to come.

I'm happy for you and your family, Adam and Kayleigh, you’re a real inspiration. Macaulay is a top-notch name and a great way to honour your favourite striker. I hope he brings you lots of joy and happiness.

It’s a shame he didn’t feature more towards the end of his time at the club.

I had an amazing time watching Notts at the new Wembley Stadium in London.

It was truly touching to witness the elation on the faces of the players as they celebrated their victory and promotion. Luke Williams’ gracious expression of thanks to all those who played a part in the team’s success was a true display of class.

The pictures you've taken are great, @Chris. You are a valuable asset to the club.

Chris, your photos are fantastic. You really capture the essence of the day. Well done!

Jodi Jones is a quality player who consistently seeks to engage in the game. His defensive skills are an added advantage. In my opinion, he is more refined than players such as Aaron Nemane.

Can you clarify if he started his career at Stoke City, i.e came through their academy or if he began his career having signed for them from elsewhere to start?

I'm really looking forward to the upcoming match between Notts County and York City. Our team is strong and has a solid game plan, so I think we have a good chance of winning. The players have been working hard in training and are determined to give it their all on the pitch. Our support as fans will also be crucial in boosting the team's morale. With our vocal encouragement and unwavering loyalty, the players will feel even more motivated to perform at their best. I'm hopeful that with a combination of skill, strategy, and support, Notts will come out on top against York.

It's good to have back-to-back seasons where there are more than one strong contender. I thought last season was difficult to choose, but this time is even more challenging.

The first half wasn't the best for either team. I thought Woking looked like a decent team when they weren't playing the poor sportsmanship card. Neither team looked likely to score. The second half was an improvement. Notts started to attack with more urgency, and I thought Sam Austin was class! His first goal was very well taken, and his second was superb! I wasn't sure if Aaron Nemane actually scored the third goal; it was a bizarre bicycle kick. Notts largely improved once the first goal went in, and I thought the game was very entertaining. I didn't understand why Jodi Jones and Adam Chicksen switched, but once that had been reverted and Aaron Nemane came on, he looked quite lively!

Zeli Ismail had the potential to be a game changer on any given day, but he can also fade into obscurity. I observed that he performed well only in certain periods of the game, and would step up his game when required, as he did against Barnsley. However, this was not a frequent occurrence, and I did not sense that he had the drive to advance beyond League One. Despite possessing natural talent and potential, it seemed that he lacked the motivation to excel. Consequently, I had reservations about his prospects of achieving success at a higher level.
