  1. Ed Francis's existing deal runs out at the end of May. I can see the club moving on and allowing him to leave. He hasn't been the same player since Michael Doyle left. I think Doyle managed to inspire him, though some say he's too lightweight. I have always felt he had potential. I still do; I just feel he hasn't shown enough, and he will improve with a fresh challenge. I would offer Connell Rawlinson and Jim O'Brien a year deal. The rest need to be talked into longer contracts, as they're vital team members.
  2. 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!
  3. Hello, it's interesting to see a Wrexham fan joining a Notts site. I thought many didn't like us due to the rivalry! You will be treated with respect, @Dry Nelson Ray, interesting username, by the way.
  4. What occurred was a horrific event, and it was one of the darkest days in football history. The UK struggled to adapt to the incident at first, but those involved who tragically lost their lives will never be forgotten.
  5. 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.
  6. This is the biggest game of the season, and both teams must set aside their nerves and concentrate on their own performance. As Notts prepares for the match, they must draw strength from their travelling fans. The significance of the event is not lost on either team, as Wrexham and Notts will both be determined not to suffer a defeat, making a draw a more probable outcome. It is crucial to avoid suspensions, injuries, and any foolish behaviour that can occur during highly-charged games. I will be watching the match live on BT Sports at home, hoping for the best possible outcome.
  7. It was a fitting farewell from a commemorative match, with a favourable outcome and enthusiastic encouragement for a poignant day. Jason Turner would have been pleased with the proceedings, may he rest in peace.
  8. It appears that there is little that can be done at this point except for us to hope that he has a speedy recovery. However, on paper, it seems like a promising signing. While the player's injury or condition may be out of our control, expressing hope for their recovery can be a way to show support and positivity. It also indicates that we are invested in their well-being beyond just their performance on the field. Regarding the signing, it's possible that the player's abilities and potential were evaluated based on their past performances, statistics, or other factors. These objective measures may have led to a positive assessment of the player's potential contribution to the team. However, it's important to remember that a player's success is not solely determined by their individual skills or past accomplishments. Factors such as team dynamics, coaching, and overall team performance can all impact a player's ability to perform well. Therefore, while it may seem like a good signing on paper, there are still many variables that could affect the player's success and the team's overall performance. Ultimately, only time will tell whether or not the signing was truly successful.
  9. From my perspective, I find it intriguing to see what team Luke Williams will field. It will be interesting to see which players he chooses and how they will perform on the field. However, regardless of which players are selected, my hope is that Notts County will come out on top with a win.
  10. I've noticed that the problem occurs more often during away games. I presume that's because there's more pressure on the team since they don't have the advantage of their home supporters to calm their nerves when they're winning. It feels like a whole different ballgame when playing on the road.
  11. There are 9 games left in the season, and Notts are currently 4 games behind Wrexham. For Notts to catch up, they will need to suffer only one defeat and achieve one draw, and then win the remaining games to equal the same amount of points. It is a challenging expectation to believe that either Notts or Wrexham can maintain their winning ways throughout the remainder of the season. It is likely that points will be missed, but all we can do is hope that the Notts players do their best to keep up with Wrexham until the final outcome is confirmed.
  12. The three goals were not only a testament to their attacking prowess but also to their teamwork, creativity, and determination. Notts showed that football is not just about individual skills but also about collective effort and strategy. This squad has given us fans a reason to believe in them and to support them through thick and thin. They proved three of the best goals for the club yesterday in terms of build-up play..
  13. It was a thrilling game to watch as we secured a comeback victory against Dorking. It was especially satisfying since Dorking had defeated us earlier in the season. It was nerve-wracking to see Dorking take the lead, but Notts quickly equalised to keep the pressure on. Langstaff and Palmer were absolutely brilliant in the second half, scoring two crucial goals that secured a fantastic victory for us! I have to say, I was a bit worried when I saw that our captain Kyle Cameron wasn't starting, but our team's depth and talent really shone through. It just goes to show that we have a strong squad and can win even without key players. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our performance today. We fought hard, stayed focused, and earned a well-deserved win. I'm thrilled to see what the rest of the season holds for us. COYP!
  14. I have a suspicion that he may be considering taking a step back from management, while also trying to avoid an extended period of unemployment. The decision to join a team like Anderlecht is a significant one, and it's important to he has carefully considered all his options before making the move.
  15. We drew against Bromley at our ground, which might make it harder to beat them at theirs, but we can't let it affect our mindset. Notts County needs to keep winning to put pressure on Wrexham, who have a game in hand, so it's up to us to maintain that pressure on them. However, we still need to be careful not to get overconfident as the competition is tough. I want the team to succeed and get back into the Football League. We must continue to work hard and strive for excellence both on and off the field. While winning against Bromley would be important, we need to keep pushing forward and not let setbacks discourage us.
  16. @JoeNcfc its a nice community here, take your time to settle in but do share your thoughts with us.
  17. Please accept my apologies for missing your birthday, @super_ram. Belated wishes to you from me. ????
  18. It is important for Notts County to ensure that their players are given the opportunity to play regularly, so that they can develop their skills and reach their full potential, ultimately contributing to the team's success. Given the importance of utilising players effectively and not allowing them to be sidelined, it is logical for Notts County to loan out Ed Francis.
  19. Notts County has ambitious goals and would not want to waste the talent of any of their players by leaving them on the sidelines.
  20. Notts displayed a collective sense of responsibility for their performance, resulting in a commendable win and three points earned. This attitude has been a hallmark of the team throughout the season, evident in every game, regardless of the players selected for the starting line-up. The 14 players who played on Tuesday stepped up to the challenge and delivered a strong performance. Their cohesive effort and commitment to the team's goals have been an integral part of Notts' success this season. Two players who particularly stood out were Bostock and Jones, both demonstrating their ability and match fitness with impressive performances, playing the full 90 minutes. Despite Southend's off-field predicament, their fans displayed remarkable support on a school night, demonstrating an impressive sense of togetherness. The fans' unwavering support for their team was a testament to their dedication and loyalty to their club. Overall, the game showcased the strength of both teams, with Notts' collective effort and Southend's passionate support, resulting in an entertaining and memorable match.
  21. Sleep peacefully, graceful Lady.

    My deepest condolences goes out to everyone who knew GP.

  22. Eastleigh always do well against teams that want to pass and play proper football, you need to mix it up to get a result. If Cal Roberts had found the net first from his chance, then it could've been different but otherwise we played to their strengths. I agree its a disappointing result.
  23. Awful start to the game, there is no denying that. Notts could've handed Rochdale the game in the first half. Thankfully Notts recovered and made a game of it, I felt Ian Burchnall's changes made all the difference with injecting spark into the play. We dominated for those 45 minutes, but got caught napping for their second. I am not disappointed because it was a good open game, but I do want to see things learned from the performance. Adam Chicksen is dire in a central defensive position.
  24. I think Ian Burchnall speaks for us all, when he speaks about being relieved. Kyle Cameron's return appears to have bridged the weakness in defence but the decisions to man manage games out does need to continue.
  25. I am fearful of defeat, but I want the players to prove me wrong. Tomorrow could be a big game, fans will want to see a response.
