The free kick was perfectly placed and timed, executed efficiently. The Crawley Town keeper couldn’t have done much. For Jim O’Brien to control the header and place it just right, it was a good goal.

Crawley Town played well, but I think they put too much into the first half. Some of their players didn’t behave well on the pitch, which was disappointing. They didn’t deserve anything from the game. As for the repeated mentions of their 4-hour coach journey, if they were trying to justify their tiredness, well, that’s just part of football, Scott Lindsey.

This is a pleasing update, with many positive aspects about PON. I’m delighted to see the content return. Keep up the excellent work.

I’m hopeful that the EFL will sanction this, as it could lead to an extension of his contract in January. This seems to be a prudent short-term signing, and if he proves his worth, we’re well-positioned to keep him at the club.

Hello and welcome to PON, @Samuel Morris. It's always good to see a new member.

Welcome to PON @Callumpie. Its good to have you here.

Welcome to the community here at PoN, @Max Roberts.

The news about Freddie Sears is intriguing; I was under the impression he was still with Colchester United. Is Alan Judge still on their books?

As for the upcoming match, Notts County needs to maintain their concentration and function effectively as a unit. If the opposition comes out swinging, we need to weather that storm and remain composed. Teams that successfully apply pressure often cause us to become somewhat disorganised in defence. The Salford match serves as a prime example of how we can defuse the intensity of games and confidently control the ball ourselves. Colchester will undoubtedly be determined not to lose on their home turf, so they’ll be battling for every point available.

I’ve been pondering over Connell Rawlinson’s recent comments about Tom Williams. While they weren’t offensive, some might argue they were a bit unnecessary. It seemed as though he was questioning Tom’s credibility based on his personal experiences, rather than critiquing the quality of his analysis. Let’s not forget, everyone has the right to voice their opinions and engage in football discussions, regardless of their personal experiences in the sport.

That being said, there’s a silver lining here for Tom. Rawlinson’s comments could be seen as a nudge towards a more in-depth understanding in his analysis. Maybe it’s time for Tom to consider incorporating more research or expert opinions into his content to bolster its credibility. This could mean interviewing players or coaches, studying game strategies, or even getting involved in local football activities for a first hand experience of the sport.

Let’s remember, constructive criticism is a stepping stone towards growth and improvement. It’s not about proving oneself to others, but about learning and developing one’s skills and understanding. So, keep your chin up, Tom! Your passion for lower league football is clear as day and truly commendable.

Luke Rodgers.

His last team was Forest Green Rovers. Despite the frequent criticisms of him being repeatedly caught offside, I always found Rodgers a joy to watch. The partnership he formed with Lee Hughes was truly remarkable.

It’s delightful to acknowledge that Notts has been a part of Neil Warnock’s managerial journey. It wouldn’t be surprising if he chooses to retire after this. Hopefully, he will have more time to indulge in golf and other activities that he enjoys.

Dan Crowley is simply on another level; he’s incredibly consistent and has truly made his role in our team his own. Much like Matt Palmer, it’s hard to envisage a starting line-up without Crowley. He’s that good and seamlessly fits into Williams’ plans.

The news of Colin Murphy’s passing is indeed tragic. He was a Notts manager who should have been given more time, despite the disappointing results in the season following the missed promotion opportunity. May he rest in peace.

In my opinion, Steven Fletcher is a good acquisition as he will bring some experience to Wrexham and has the capability to assist them. I believe that sometimes seasoned signings like this can aid a club in their return to the Football League.

The Wolves should present a good opportunity for Ian Burchnall. I wish him luck with his move.

Salford City appeared quite deficient early on, which explains why they hadn’t secured a victory at their home ground. Their pitch is not only soulless but also small, which doesn’t seem to work to their advantage. Notts circulated the ball quite well, although there were moments when I wished they had continued moving sideways instead of retreating all the way back to Aidan Stone. Some of his distribution resulted in the ball being instantly returned, which was another source of frustration. However, the match was largely enjoyable. When Notts were in possession, they seemed vibrant and some of the early exchanges appeared to be inspired by training ground manoeuvres. I’m not criticising the performance; I simply believe we don’t always need to aim long goal kicks at one player or pass the ball all the way back to the goalkeeper. Clearly, it worked as evidenced by a solid 2-0 victory. We just need to maintain this momentum.

It’s great to see Notts sitting at the top of the league; we need to encourage the good in our play and lift the players more. The togetherness between fans and the club can make such a big difference. Long may it continue! WE ARE TOP!!

The attendances do make a difference; it’s good money for the club, and very few yesterday were from Accrington itself. Very poor support if I am honest; they could have at least brought a few more hundred. Our drummer also now adds a good beat to the game, whereas the only noise I heard from Accrington’s fans was an odd drum noise every so often and not for long at all. Our supporters need to avoid being like that; I think Doncaster would have made more noise at Meadow Lane.

Very kind words were expressed towards our style of play. I have found a lot of League Two fans to be very biased compared to the National League. I think Tranmere will improve; they looked far better than Grimsby Town or Accrington Stanley. It’s their defence that needs to work just a little harder. I wish them well, except for when they play us.

John Coleman mentioned in the clip above that he wants to take positives from the game, but he spends the majority of the time speaking fictional nonsense and complaining. His side deserved nothing from the game; they didn’t nullify Notts. If anything, Notts slowed their game down way too much and allowed them to come into it after our opening goal. I give Stanley credit for looking like a good side, but their finishing and play in the final third weren’t good at all. Coleman just comes across as a bit bitter; I thought the referee protected them far more than Notts. Their players constantly targeted Langstaff and Jones by taking them down with rash challenges. Their defender also threw himself into the boot of Jones; the ball was low and not at head height. It wasn’t dangerous play on his part, just madness. What about their player who kicked Brindley in the back when he was going to take a throw-in? It was a good game, but Accrington’s hype is very much overstated.
