I’ve always admired the family feel at Notts County, and this just reinforces that. Stuart Maynard’s support for Cedwyn during this time is exactly what we would expect from a club that really values its players. Mental health isn’t something you can just shake off, and it’s great to see Cedwyn getting the help he needs without any pressure to return before he’s ready. As Maynard said, the team will be there for him, and I hope he knows that the fans are too. I can’t wait to see him back on the pitch, but only when he’s fully ready, mentally and physically.

Some good performances today, I agree. But I've voted for George Abbott. I felt he had an outstanding game for us.

It doesn’t feel too bad to get a point, but with Jatta scoring and the ref giving a penalty, it does seem a bit unfair on us, especially since it gave them a lifeline. I won't complain much. I think Kellan Gordon looked good in the first half and put in some excellent crosses. George Abbott is growing in his role and is so good at breaking up the play. Dan Crowley was just class again.

Maynard’s spot on about Chesterfield’s quality. They’re not your typical newly promoted side, and they’ve invested well in their squad. I think this will be one of our tougher away games this season, especially with their fans behind them. That said, our away form has been solid. If McGoldrick’s back and firing, we’ve got that extra bit of quality to break them down. I liked what Maynard said about the frustrations at home, where teams sit back more. Chesterfield might try something similar, but away from home, I think we’ll have more space to work with.

Victory at Brunton Park was much needed. Notts County's disciplined approach, particularly in defence, ensured Carlisle couldn't break through. Jatta and Robertson provided the attacking spark, showcasing their quality. Bass truly stood out with crucial saves that kept a clean sheet intact. The fans' unwavering support was the cherry on top, creating a fantastic atmosphere that felt like a home game. Maynard’s tactical nous and the players’ commitment suggest a promising season ahead. It’s a pleasure to see the team responding so well to the head coach’s strategies.

Alex Bass should easily win the votes from members. I can’t see anyone else coming close. Jatta and Scott Robertson were very good, as were others, but Bass was the standout player.

It was a good night for Notts. The start of the game was perfect, and the opening goal fell nicely for Jatta to put him clear through on goal. Alex Bass has done this a few times, pumping the ball high up the field to create a good chance. Jacob Bedeau and Matty Platt were outstanding in blocking chances and clearing the ball. Our attacks died off after the chances were made. Carlisle took the momentum and made it difficult for our players to counter their play. Keeping a clean sheet alone feels like a victory.

There are a few more who could have been considered, but I think Jacob Bedeau has been superb. He has been a big plus at the back for Notts. He’s not afraid to get stuck in and is quite good at moving forward.

Greg Abbott, in terms of non-playing staff, has been managing them and working for Carlisle. He has also had two spells with Notts.

It’s going to be tough. I like the insight given by Liam into his club. Carlisle United are a good team but have issues. Greg Abbott, our former assistant manager, is there with them. I recall @Piethagoram mentioning that he works as a scout or something along those lines. I would hope the team that turns up can make it difficult for them, but both teams sound like they are still trying to get a grip of the performances so far this season. We are not yet 10 games in, so results could be hit and miss.

Some fans want to win every game, but that’s just not realistic. Some will just want to see a good performance, but football isn’t always like that. If Notts can win games, it will be because they deserved it and worked hard. Draws aren’t the end of the world. Losing is the worst scenario for a promotion-chasing team. The fact we avoided that speaks volumes. The next win should be big for returning the confidence and morale of the squad.

Sensible words by Jacob Bedeau; he speaks well and put in a good performance against his former club. I think he has a lot of growth potential, and defensively Notts should only improve more. Putting aside the poor goal we conceded, we defended well against them, largely thanks to Bedeau.

George Abbott played very well. I have voted for him.

This is the best decision for him and the club. Having Aidan Stone on our books but not playing is never going to do his confidence any good. It’s funny how Sam Slocombe was phased out last season, and now it’s his replacement.

I don’t understand the appointment myself. I think there are far more suitable managers for the national job of the United States, but I wish him well. It’s going to be hard for him.

I am spending today in Blackpool, then driving further to Morecambe tomorrow. I had planned to go as far as Fleetwood, but I thought I would have a better chance in Blackpool since it is bigger. It won’t be as far to travel tomorrow, and it will be nice to break up the journey, especially the trip home.

Morecambe might seem to be in a desperate situation, but I think their performance will be anything but that. I believe they will try to match up, make it hard for us to find space, and even if they park the bus, I would be wary of their counter-attacks

Since joining Notts, he’s slotted into the defence beautifully, helping to solidify our backline. It’s not just his defensive skills but also his ability to contribute offensively that adds another layer to our game. His positive outlook on our promotion chances is exactly what we need. This weekend’s match against Morecambe is more than just a game; it’s a chance for Jacob to showcase his growth. Really hope we see a standout performance from him

I am glad to see the focus has turned to the next fixture. The defeat is out of our hands, but it shouldn’t cause issues with the way we play. Restart a run and continue to work hard, focus on getting the results needed, and pray we don’t cross paths with these officials for some time. It’s frustrating and disappointing to lose in the way we did, but credit to the players.

It’s a concern, but Jodi Jones is always going to be tackled. It’s sad that he’s suffered an injury, but it’s part of the game, and all we can do is await news and hope he recovers well. Fans will worry because he’s such a good player and due to his past injuries.

Someone will have messed up the note or number given for the announcement. No way was there only 11k; it was a busy game, more than normal.

Stuart Maynard speaks well, considering how angry he must feel. It’s going to be a test to see how Jodi Jones is and when we can likely expect him back. It just means we have to be even more focused on achieving success this season. I don’t want to complain further about the officials; Maynard said how I feel.

Notts didn’t play badly. I thought we were the better team but just couldn’t score. When we did, it was ruled offside. As disappointing as that is, I think Dan Crowley was the Man of the Match. Alex Bass, Jacob Bedeau, Conor Grant, David McGoldrick, and Jodi Jones also did well and were close.

I'm enjoying the attacking football we’re playing this season. Stuart Maynard has really got the team clicking, and it’s paying off. The unpredictability in our play is catching opponents off guard, which is fantastic. Defensively, the improvements are noticeable too. We seem much more composed at the back, which is giving the players in front the freedom to express themselves. Gillingham will be a tough nut to crack, but I believe in the squad’s ability to rise to the challenge. Keep up the hard work, lads!

The oldies are very good, but Tomorrow Never Dies is my favourite. As for actors, I don’t mind most. It’s much easier to like those who played James Bond than it is these days to like those who play characters like Dr Who.
