Gillingham MK Dons Notts -- Doncaster Tranmere Swindon Carlisle Relegation Bromley Harrogate

Both kits are perfectly fine in colour and design, but neither are really to my preference. This doesn’t mean I think they are bad kits. I think both seem to have been inspired by previous away shirts. It’s also pleasing to see Notts return to the orange shirt. The purple/blue shirt is the nicest of the two.

I think it’s the first time I’ve read something where the EFL hasn’t made the fans suffer for the actions of others higher up. If Paul Conway and Chien Lee were involved still, it might be different, but fines are sufficient in this case.

I am pleased to read that The Nest will be open for our away games. This should help the club attract fans who cannot attend in person, giving the fan base a sense of community when games are streamed. It’s a smart decision by Notts, but I hope the venue can still be used for Premier League visitors who come to our neighbours.

I don’t know who is fully fit, but I think the starting 11 will be strong. Our bench should have some depth, although I think a signing or two wouldn’t go amiss. It will be nice to see some of the young players given a chance if it can be afforded. Tranmere can be a good team, or they can be terrible. One thing is certain, they will give you a game. With it being the opening game, I think the outcome will be a draw. I just hope Notts don’t concede any soft goals.

Good insight and set of questions. I agree with the ending summary that the game will be difficult, but both teams will have aspirations for promotion this season, as all teams do. That should make for an exciting game. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Joe.

Colby Bishop is a good lad. It’s been a delight to see him find his feet at Portsmouth. As an ex-Notts player, I always wish him well. I hope his condition doesn’t cause any major issues for him. Best wishes, Bishop.

If we lose, we lose. It’s as simple as that. Whatever team plays, I just hope they give a good account of themselves. Going into the game, I wouldn’t mind seeing a strong lineup on paper, but even that means little. It’s how players perform as a team and individually. So, hopefully, the performance is promising, and we can then focus on what really matters.

Just consider what Scotland did with their hate crime policy. It’s turned things into a mockery and it’s baffling why the police would be so proactive over something typically fabricated. In comparison to real issues like this, I hope that Notts can replenish the goals with ease.

Now that he’s gone, everything else is irrelevant unless news about the deal and its inner workings comes out. We won’t know anything for certain, and it’s all pure speculation. There’s no harm in discussing it, but it’s all hearsay and opinions. @DangerousSausage is correct, we wouldn’t have had much say in the matter and we can’t confirm if there were any release terms. I believe that Macaulay Langstaff requested and wanted the move to happen. He’s performed well in his two-year stint with us, with many memorable moments. It’s a sign that we can nurture talent, make good use of them, and sell them on for a profit.

With the departure of Macaulay Langstaff and now Junior Morias, our striker department is weaker. I’m somewhat disappointed that we let Morias go. If he’s not up to the mark, then his departure should be permanent and a replacement should be brought in. Morias might have had more playing time, but I wouldn’t fault him if he requested the move back to Dagenham & Redbridge. This leaves us in need of a few more players. I’d like another winger to give us more options alongside Jodi Jones. I’m uncertain if we’ll get the same performance from Adam Chicksen as we have in the past, and if the fans’ forum comments about Jones playing further up the field will work out. We’d need someone to cover, as we only have two left-sided wingers. An attacking midfielder would be beneficial, but I don’t think the club will sign many more players who are guaranteed to start or be in close competition for those places.

Unless there are witnesses or evidence, the Nottinghamshire police won’t be able to solve the crime. It’s a senseless act that’s completely unnecessary. I hope the damages can be repaired easily. I understand that’s not the main issue, but it’s unfair for the team to suffer due to the actions of thoughtless individuals.

I’m not opposed to the idea of subscribing, as I believe it’s a crucial aspect. However, I would be more inclined to make occasional donations. My desire is to support PON and ensure its continued growth. I hope it becomes more appealing to members and the number of subscribers rises, which would be delightful to see. Wishing you the best of luck in garnering additional support.

I can’t see why it wouldn’t work out, but I do have the feeling that Luke Williams departed without demonstrating that he could navigate us through a tough period and steer the club back on course. Things were going downhill, and then he left, which had a further impact on the players. There’s no denying that he’s an excellent coach, a good speaker, and motivates the players, so I wouldn’t rule him out. However, I do feel that Notts may have moved on. Williams is largely a positive choice for the position of head coach, so we can’t predict what might happen, and he may be better off after his time away. Whatever the future holds, right now Stuart Maynard is our head coach, and I sincerely hope he succeeds.

This should be a good workout for the squad. Let’s start with the first eleven and make changes as needed to give other players an opportunity. The performance should be satisfactory, and I suspect we might see more trialists. There’s also a possibility that Notts might sign a new player before the game. Playing a friendly against York is a good idea. It will help build some momentum as we head into the season.

Take a firm stance and exclude them from the Olympics, and also consider barring their supporters from attending. There’s absolutely no justifiable reason for causing a riot or creating a fuss after a loss.

At first, I was curious about who Ewan Coleman was. I was slightly let down to find out he’s not a player, but it’s great that the club has hired a kitman. It’s a vital role, and a good kitman can make the players feel well cared for.

A warm welcome to Meadow Lane, Cater Foxe. I hope your time at Notts is fruitful and you manage to impress our head coach when you’re ready for regular football. All the best!

Before we sign any new players, some funds should be reinvested into the squad. I believe it’s more crucial to use a portion of the money to extend the contracts of some players. For instance, Jodi Jones needs a new contract. It would be beneficial to keep him here, and he would make a good vice-captain. Some funds could be allocated to recruit a striker, another attacking player, and a defensive midfielder. I’m not too concerned about a training ground, as the club can extend an agreement to use existing facilities. However, it would be lovely to have our own training pitches one day. The club could consider making the stands more inviting. A fresh coat of paint and perhaps some inspiring artwork could be added. Not exactly in the style of the family stand, but something more like what the club did under the Trews with the walls near to the suites. It showcased a lot of history of the club.

What’s happening? Where is everyone today? I’ve been looking forward to spending some time on the screen all day, and it seems like I’m almost alone here on PON. Well, the weather has been pleasant, and I hope everyone is doing well. There’s not much on the telly, so I’ll find a DVD to watch once I’m finished here.

Like everyone else, you’ve been a shining light in the Notts community, and it’s been a joy to watch your videos and read your posts. I don’t use Twitter, so I don’t see that aspect of your talent unless someone shares it, but I’ve always found you to be level-headed. Your insights into the club and vlogs are a real job, but my enjoyment of your content is secondary to your own happiness. You have to do what’s right for you, and as others have said, your audience, fans, and friends will support you no matter what you choose. The pressure of competing on YouTube is relentless, which is why I avoid social media. I find it unhealthy, but I do see the benefits of how people like you bring others together. You’ll have to ask yourself what feels best. @TheSkipper has asked every question one could think of, so consider those and make your decision. I wish you good health.

The issue with John Bostock is that he’ll likely demand a salary befitting a first-team player, which his experience justifies. I think Notts no longer see him as a regular starter and have decided to let him seek first-team opportunities. It would be strange to see him sign permanently with Swansea City. His age and ability seemed to catch up with him last season. He’s still a very good player, but he wasn’t the same.

I can see why some fans might have reservations about Stuart Maynard as the head coach of Notts County. I’ve often pondered if his assistant and the accompanying coaches are ready for the step up. While they provide Maynard with support and familiarity, I believe Luke Williams had an excellent assistant in Ryan Harley. It might take them a bit longer to adapt to a professional club. I’m confident that with the new recruits, the club has given Maynard a platform to demonstrate his skills, and I hope it proves successful. He needs to be bold and achieve positive results early on. If we don’t get the results fans expect, it will be harder for him to weather the storm. So, for his sake and ours, I hope he can make a strong start and win over more fans. He seems like a competent coach, but sometimes you need that extra something to excel, and Notts has given Maynard that opportunity.

I hold nothing but respect for the Marden family and hope they remain united amidst Wendy’s illness. Untreatable brain tumours are incredibly challenging for those affected, much like any condition involving the brain. Football has a way of uniting a community, and I hope Ian continues to find joy in it despite Wendy’s health situation. It’s heartening to learn that Wendy used to drive Ian to matches. Now, it’s her turn to be looked after and cherished. I extend my warmest wishes to them all.
